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.

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,
