Two crossbred puppies exhibited a generalized tremor that was accentuated by excitement or voluntary movement. Hypermetria was also present. Neurohistologic examination showed a bilaterally symmetric spongy condition, predominantly of the gray matter in the brain and spinal cord. These two dogs were different, both in their clinical presentation and histologic appearance, from other reported ca...

We use the quasistatic approach to analyze the criterion of ferromagnetism for two-dimentional (2D) systems with the Fermi level near Van Hove singularities (VHS) of the electronic spectrum. It is shown that the spectrum of spin excitations (paramagnons) is positively defined when the interaction I between electrons and paramagnons, which corresponds to the Hubbard on-site repulsion U , is suff...

The clinical, biochemical, and pathological features of an unusual expression of infantile spongy degeneration of the central white matter are presented with emphasis on neuropathological observations. The topographical distribution of the spongy change along with the observed defect in myelination were such as to suggest an arrest in development of the white matter in late foetal life. Of addi...

that time in certain jails, was due to scurvy and produced by lack of vegetables. We challenged that opinion at the time, and this year we notice in the Central Provinces Jail Report that this condition of the gums was kept under control by a free use of the tooth-sticks and charcoal tooth powder." The report referred to was written by Mr. Acklom who is not a medical man, and I do not think it ...

A model is presented which incorporates several data from the literature on isolated parts of the peripheral auditory nervous system into a coherent model. The usefulness of the model lies in the fact that it describes the functional properties of eighth nerve fibres and dorsal medullary nucleus neurons in response to monaural stimuli. The components are: a middle ear filter, transduction and t...

Canavan disease (CD) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by early onset progressive spongy degeneration of the brain involving the axon's myelin sheath. Patients with CD have leukoencephalopathy and megalencephaly; clinically they show a variable course ranging from slow neurodegenerative course to no neurological development or rapid regression. Current treatment is sy...
