Opisthotonus in acutely deficient pigeons was frequently attended by no degenerating nerve fibers or neurons in either the central or peripheral nervous systems. When the deficiency was complicated by starvation, it developed more slowly, opisthotonus appeared later, and many degenerating...

It can present with vague signs and symptoms and is often overlooked in patients without alcohol use disorders. This review explores the relatively new...
متن کاملEffects of early thiamin deficiency and subsequent rehabilitation on the cholinergic system in developing rat brain.
The effects of thiamin deficiency during pregnancy and/or lactation on brain cholinergic system in rat pups were studied. Dietary rehabilitation for a period of 5 weeks from the 28th day was instituted to study possible 'catch-up' in the brain acetylcholine levels. Brain acetylcholine level was found to be significantly decreased on the 21st and 28th days in pups of the dams fed thiamin deficie...
