... A neonatal Dutch Warmblood colt was evaluated for inability to stand, incoordination and intention tremor. Despite partial improvement in clinical signs during the first 4 days of hospitalization, neurological deficits remained. Magnetic resonance imaging identified a unilateral infratentorial arachnoid cyst‐like lesion with ipsilateral compression and displacement of the cerebellar hemisphere, ab ...

Abstract:
... Accurate spatio-temporalquantifying of ecosystem services (ESs) supply and social demand and their coordination dynamics, and determining which factors affect such coordination and the spatial distribution patterns of these effects, is essential to guide targeted ecosystem management decisions. Unfortunately, quantitative data demonstrating the explicit spatial relationships between the biophysica ...

Abstract:
... Several plants that contain indolizidine alkaloids, including swainsonine, are toxic to livestock, causing dysfunctional lysosomes and storage disease. Swainsonine induces a neurovisceral disease, known as locoism, in sheep, goats, and cattle, which occurs in several parts of the world, including, but not limited to, the western United States, China, and parts of Australia. In South America, locoi ...

Abstract:
... Genomic integrity is maintained by DNA repair and the DNA damage response (DDR). Defects in certain DNA repair genes give rise to many rare progressive neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), such as ocular motor ataxia, Huntington disease (HD), and spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA). Dysregulation or dysfunction of DDR is also proposed to contribute to more common NDDs, such as Parkinson’s disease (PD), Al ...
... Hypothalamic aging is considered to be critical for systemic aging, and the accumulation of “exhausted glial cells” in the hypothalamus may contribute to brain dysfunction. In this study, we used normal aging mice and investigated aging-specific transcriptional identities of microglia and astrocytes in the hypothalamus. We confirmed that normal aging promoted anxiety, induced impairment of motor c ...

Abstract:
... The increasing discrepancy between a regional economy and transportation imposes higher requirements for their coordinated development. This paper utilized the coupling coordination degree (CCD) model and entropy method (EM) to quantitatively study the coupling coordination state between regional economy and transportation and its spatial distribution of 30 provinces in China from 2004 to 2017. Th ...

Abstract:
... Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) and spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) are heterogeneous groups of neurodegenerative disorders with the main clinical manifestations including progressive pyramidal syndrome and cerebellar ataxia. The differential diagnosis of these diseases is difficult owing to the significant genetic and phenotypic polymorphism. The use of massive parallel sequencing (MPS) technolo ...

Abstract:
... The family of hereditary cerebellar ataxias is a large group of disorders with heterogenous clinical manifestations and genetic etiologies. Among these, over 30 autosomal dominantly inherited subtypes have been identified, collectively referred to as the spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs). Generally, the SCAs are characterized by a progressive gait impairment with classical cerebellar features, and in ...

Abstract:
... Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3, also known as Machado-Joseph disease (SCA3/MJD), is the most common type of autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxias. Few studies focused on the changes of the whole mitochondrial genomes of SCA3/MJD patients and its relationship with the pathogenesis of SCA3/MJD. We adapted one-step long-range PCR to amplify the entire mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) followed by next-generat ...

Abstract:
... Land use conflict describes the incoordination of land use structure when meeting the diverse human demands under the deterioration of natural environment, which is a sensitive indicator of human-environmental interaction. The increased demand for different land use types due to rapid population growth and urbanization in China places tremendous pressure on limited land resources, which raises gre ...

Abstract:
... R loops arising during transcription induce genomic instability, but how cells respond to the R loop-associated genomic stress is still poorly understood. Here, we show that cells harboring high levels of R loops rely on the ATR kinase for survival. In response to aberrant R loop accumulation, the ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related (ATR)-Chk1 pathway is activated by R loop-induced reversed rep ...
... Ingestion of toxic substances is a common event in companion animals and livestock, especially in waterfowl. Oleander (Nerium oleander) toxicosis is rarely reported in avian species, with symptoms including cardiac, neurological and gastrointestinal manifestations. A 6-month-old domestic goose (Anser anser domesticus) was presented for depression, anorexia, permanent sternal recumbency, weakness a ...

... The Gorkha Earthquake hit the region on 25th of April 2015, at 12:58, with the epicentre approximately 80 km N-NW of Kathmandu, recording 7.8 Mw on the Richter Scale. The disaster left almost 9000 individuals dead. The search and recovery as well as the subsequent Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) operations left much to be desired. The entire DVI operations consisted of examination of 365 bodi ...

Abstract:
... Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) conform a heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative disorders with autosomal dominant inheritance. Five of the most frequent SCAs are caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the exons of specific genes. The SCAs incidence and the distribution of polymorphic CAG alleles vary among populations and ethnicities. Thus, characterization of the genetic architecture of ethnically ...
... Senna occidentalis may be accidently ingested by humans and animals. In this study, the percentages of S. occidentalis seeds necessary for experimental reproduction of hepatic encephalopathy were determined in a pig model and the biochemical and microscopic pathology is described in detail, with emphasis on the astrocytes. The experimental groups (G1, G2 and G3) were fed rations containing 5%, 7.5 ...

This study was carried out to compare the analgesic effects and haematobiochemical changes produced by the administration of lidocaine, detomidine and lidocaine–detomidine combination in the epidural space of goats. All goats were assigned to all of the three different epidural treatments using a balanced crossover design with two-weeks washout period. Nociception was investigated by pinprick; tim ...
... Friedreich’s ataxia is the commonest autosomal recessive ataxia among population of European descent. Despite the huge advances performed in the last decades, a cure still remains elusive. One of the most studied hallmarks of the disease is the increased production of oxidative stress markers in patients and models. This feature has been the motivation to develop treatments that aim to counteract ...

Globally, the increase in the urban population is generally accompanied by the expansion of the latter and construction lands, as well as the reduction in the rural population and rural construction lands. However, with the rapid development of urbanization in China, the rural population ...
