Phenotypic comparison of idiopathic epilepsy in English Springer Spaniels and Cocker Spaniels using a validated owner-completed questionnaire
Abstract In response to the recurring identification of medication-resistant idiopathic epilepsy (IE) in English Springer Spaniels (ESS), the objective of this retrospective questionnaire-based observational study was to delineate the phenotypic characteristics of IE in this breed in comparison to a cognate breed, the English Cocker Spaniel (ECS), employing a novel, validated, owner-completed multilingual online questionnaire.
Myoclonus in geriatric dogs and its association with canine cognitive dysfunction: an online survey
Abstract Background: An increasing number of dogs are presented with suspected canine cognitive dysfunction (CCD), and a subset also exhibits myoclonus. Objectives: Because CCD shares multiple pathological and pathophysiological features with Alzheimer's disease in humans, and myoclonus has been linked to neurodegenerative disorders in people, the aim of the study was to describe myoclonus in dogs with clinical signs of CCD.

Kajin, F. et al. (2024) Canine idiopathic generalized tremor syndrome, immune-mediated? Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 11, 1453698. (doi: 10.3389/fvets.2024.1453698) (PMID:39372900) (PMCID:PMC11449864) Text 365343.pdf - Published Version Available under License Creative Commons Attribution.
Interleukin-31 in serum and cerebrospinal fluid of dogs with syringomyelia - BMC Veterinary Research
Single CSF or serum samples had to be excluded as coefficient of variation was > 20%. Therefore, for single dogs, only IL-31 levels of CSF or serum are available for statistical analysis. A total of 52 serum and 35 CSF samples from 62 patients could be used for the statistical evaluation. The sample distribution was as follows: 48 patients with syringomyelia (group A). 3 patients with atopic dermatitis (group B). 11 healthy control dogs (group C).
ChatGPT and scientific papers in veterinary neurology; is the genie out of the bottle?
Introduction The new wave of technology known as generative artificial intelligence (AI), while both awe-inspiring and intimidating due to its transformative potential, has become a worldwide phenomenon this year (1). Generative AI refers to a class of AI models that can create new content, such as text, images, sounds, and videos, based on patterns and structures learned from existing data (2, 3).

Current definition, diagnosis, and treatment of canine and feline idiopathic vestibular syndrome
1. Introduction Idiopathic vestibular syndrome (IVS) is a common neurological disorder observed in dogs over the age of nine, elderly cats, and cats with any age with certain regions in North America experiencing seasonal patterns (1–3). Clinical manifestations of IVS typically manifest acutely, with affected animals displaying a head tilt towards the side of the lesion, pathological nystagmus, positional strabismus, and vestibular ataxia. Nausea and emesis may also occur (1, 3–7).
Frontiers | Virtual non-contrast images of detector-based spectral computed tomography in dogs: a promising alternative to true non-contrast images in veterinary medicine
Philipp Lietz*† Manon Brüntgens† Adriano Wang-Leandro Holger Andreas Volk Sebastian Meller Kristina Merhof Clinic for Small Animals, University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, Hanover, Germany Introduction: In veterinary medicine, abdominal computer tomographic (CT) examinations regularly require a minimum of two scans, with a native scan (true unenhanced, TUE) as a reference for the subsequent contrast-enhanced CT scan (CECT).
