متن کاملSerum Antibodies Against a Reactive Site of Equine Myelin Protein 2 Linked to Polyneuritis Equi Found in Horses Diagnosed with EPM
Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) is the most commonly diagnosed infectious neuro-degenerative condition in horses and neuroinflammation is present in all definitively diagnosed cases. Historically EPM is difficult to treat. Polyneuritis equi (cauda equina neuritis) is a rarely recognized noninfectious, chronic relapsing, peripheral neurodegenerative disorder in horses. We propose that p...
متن کاملDefining Relapses Attributed to Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis
Disease caused by Sarcocystis spp are associated with a variety of clinical signs including abortion, hemorrhages, hair loss, muscular disease, and neurological dysfunction. In horses, clinical disease is associated with Sarcocystis fayeri and S neurona. The genesis of and clinical progression of disease caused by these protozoans in horses is not well defined but acute, chronic, and relapsing ...
متن کاملDimethyl Fumarate Ameliorates Lewis Rat Experimental Autoimmune Neuritis and Mediates Axonal Protection
BACKGROUND Dimethyl fumarate is an immunomodulatory and neuroprotective drug, approved recently for the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. In view of the limited therapeutic options for human acute and chronic polyneuritis, we used the animal model of experimental autoimmune neuritis in the Lewis rat to study the effects of dimethyl fumarate on autoimmune inflammation and neur...
متن کاملChronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy.
The syndrome of acute inflammatory idiopathic polyneuropathy is well known, the predominently motor type of which is recognised by the name of Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), in which the maximum neurological deficit develops rapidly in days, plateaus for weeks and then subsides with the recovery occurring in weeks to months. Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) has e...
