Primary renal potassium wasting syndrome in a juvenile domestic medium‐hair cat secondary to an atypical distal renal tubular disorder of undetermined molecular origin

Veterinary Record Case Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Renal potassium wasting syndromes, such as Gitelman's syndrome (GS), are well documented in humans but rarely reported in veterinary medicine. This case describes a 6‐month‐old domestic medium‐hair cat presenting with chronic hypokalaemia, polyuria and polydipsia. Diagnostic evaluation revealed hypokalaemia, metabolic alkalosis, hypochloraemia

Spasmodic Dysphonia

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spasmodic dysphonia is a laryngeal dystonia that can present as adductor, abductor, or mixed types, with or without tremor. The etiology is not understood fully. Comprehensive evaluation is required to establish the diagnosis. Treatments include voice therapy, medications, botulinum toxin injection, laryngeal surgery, deep brain stimulation ...

Host species and age‐specific variation on Hepatozoon prevalence and its effect on body condition in two Neotropical crocodiles

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Many populations of species belonging to the order Crocodilia are threatened due to illegal trafficking, indiscriminate hunting, and habitat loss and degradation affecting crocodilian health and parasitic load. Although several studies have revealed that crocodiles, caimans, and alligators are frequently infected by Hepatozoon spp., the results from ...

Dietary adaptations along the northern limit of distribution: what does the smooth snake Coronella austriaca eat in Norway? Metabarcoding of stomach content and visual analysis of faeces

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding how species survive at their poleward limits of distribution is of interest in species conservation, particularly in light of global warming and predictions of shifting distributions of both predators and prey species. How species adapt to high latitudes and to future climate changes will be impacted both by direct interactions with the ...
