Intervertebral Disk Disease in Dogs and Cats
When an animal is presented with spinal pain of a neurological origin, there are five possible differentials for the cause of that pain. They are; intervertebral disk disease, neoplasia (of the spinal cord or surrounding structures), diskospondylitis, trauma, and myelitis / meningitis. Occasionally, other disease processes may fit into a list of differentials for spinal pain based on the signal...
متن کاملPotential regenerative treatment strategies for intervertebral disc degeneration in dogs
Pain due to spontaneous intervertebral disc (IVD) disease is common in dogs. In chondrodystrophic (CD) dogs, IVD disease typically develops in the cervical or thoracolumbar spine at about 3-7 years of age, whereas in non-chondrodystrophic (NCD) dogs, it usually develops in the caudal cervical or lumbosacral spine at about 6-8 years of age. IVD degeneration is characterized by changes in the bio...
متن کاملLumbar Intervertebral Disk Degeneration and Patient Age
N.L. Marinelli V.M. Haughton P.A. Anderson BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: T2 relaxation times provide a continuous measure of changes in intervertebral disk biochemistry. The purpose of this study was to correlate T2 relaxation times in lumbar disks with patient age and stage of degeneration. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sagittal T1and T2-weighted images and axial images were acquired in 20 patients referre...
متن کاملGene therapy for intervertebral disk degeneration.
Intervertebral disk degeneration is a common and potentially debilitating disease process affecting millions of Americans and other populations each year. Current treatments address resultant symptoms and not the underlying pathophysiology of disease. This has spawned the development of biologic treatments, such as gene therapy, which attempt to correct the imbalance between catabolism and anab...
