Retrospective study of partial lateral corpectomy to treat thoracic and lumbar intervertebral disc herniation in 12 cats.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe the safety and effectiveness of thoracic or lumbar partial lateral corpectomy (PLC) in cats with spinal cord compression due to intervertebral disc herniation (IVH).

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted of 12 client-owned cats from two academic and one private referral veterinary centres. Cross-sectional imaging was available in 12 cats for evaluation of disc herniation.

Machine learning algorithms predict canine structural epilepsy with high accuracy.

Introduction: Clinical reasoning in veterinary medicine is often based on clinicians' personal experience in combination with information derived from publications describing cohorts of patients. Studies on the use of scientific methods for patient individual decision making are largely lacking. This applies to the prediction of the individual underlying pathology in seizuring dogs as well.

Client's understanding of instructions for small animals in a veterinary neurological referral center.

Background: It is not known how much information clients retrieve from discharge instructions.

Clinical Signs in 166 Beagles with Different Genotypes of Lafora.

Lafora disease (LD) is a genetic disease affecting beagles, resulting in seizures in combination with other signs. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical signs of LD in beagles with different NHLRC1 genotypes. One hundred and sixty-six beagles were tested for an NHLRC1 gene defect: L/L ( = 67), N/L ( = 32), N/N ( = 67).
