Molecular cloning of ion channels in Felis catus that are related to periodic paralyses in man: a contribution to the understanding of the genetic susceptibility to feline neck ventroflexion and paralysis [PDF]
Biology Open, 2014 Neck ventroflexion in cats has different causes; however, the most common is the hypokalemia associated with flaccid paralysis secondary to chronic renal failure.

Atypical Fracture of Femur in Association with Familial Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis: A Case Report. [PDF]
J Orthop Case Rep, 2021 Introduction: Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HPP) is an important and a reversible but rare cause of paralysis. Periodic paralyses are of two types. The first one is primary which is also known as familial type and the second one is secondary periodic ...

Clinical and Molecular Spectrum of Myotonia and Periodic Paralyses Associated With Mutations in SCN4A in a Large Cohort of Italian Patients. [PDF]
Front Neurol, 2020 Background: Four main clinical phenotypes have been traditionally described in patients mutated in SCN4A, including sodium-channel myotonia (SCM), paramyotonia congenita (PMC), Hypokaliemic type II (HypoPP2), and Hyperkaliemic/Normokaliemic periodic ...

Review of the Diagnosis and Treatment of Periodic Paralysis. [PDF]
Muscle Nerve, 2018 Periodic paralyses (PPs) are rare neuromuscular disorders caused by mutations in skeletal muscle sodium, calcium, and potassium channel genes. PPs include hypokalemic paralysis, hyperkalemic paralysis, and Andersen-Tawil syndrome.

Identification of Mutation in SCN4A, Hot-Spot for Periodic Paralyses, in a Large Chinese Family with a Typical Normokalemic PP Using the Whole-Exome Sequencing [PDF]
Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research, 2020 Tumor is an abnormal mass of tissue, which could be solid, or fluid filled. Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) is a ubiquitously expressed cytokine in tumor. High levels of MIF expression have been observed in several human cancers and expression correlates with tumor grading and clinical prognosis. This experiment was designed to see the size of tumor,
