The repeated intravenous injections (RIVInj) of 5 mg/kg/day leptophos [O-(4-bromo-2, 5-dichlorophenyl) O-methyl phenylphosphonothioate] for 3 consecutive days caused delayed ataxia in 4 out of 9 hens (44.4%). And one out of 9 hens (11.1%) given RIVInj of 3 mg/kg leptophos for 5 days was affected with ataxia. Twenty hens, however, which received a single intravenous injection (SIVInj) of 15 mg/k...

Familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP) type IV (FINNISH) is a rare clinical entity with challenging neuropathy and cosmetic deficits. Amyloidosis can affect peripheral sensory, motor, or autonomic nerves. Nerve lesions are induced by deposits of amyloid fibrils and treatment approaches for neuropathy are challenging. Involvement of cranial nerves and atrophy in facial muscles is a real concern i...

Symptomatic tremor was confined to the upper limbs and was broadly symmetrical. The frequency of associated rhythmic muscle activity ranged from 2.8 to 5.5 Hz in abductor pollicis brevis and from 3.7 to 5.5 Hz in the forearm flexor mus...
