Hypoglossal
What is the forebrain responsible for
Behaviour
Thought processes
Central vision/hearing
Coordination/proprioception
One sided damage?
What is the cerebellum responsible for
Fine motor control
Hypermetria - intention tremors
Vestibular - head tilt
What is the brain stem responsible for
Cranial nerve deficits
All consciousness pathways
What are LMN pathways required for
Final path for voluntary motor activity
Reflexes
Maintaining tone
What are UMN pathways required for
Voluntary activity
With UMN forelimbs and hindlimbs where is the lesion
Cranial or C1-C5
With LMN forelimbs and UMN hindlimbs where is the lesion
C6-T2
With normal forelimbs and UMN hindlimbs where is the lesion
T3-L3
With normal forelimbs and LMN hindlimbs where is the lesion
L4-S3
How to neurones show damage
Death or dysfunction
How to glial cells show damage
Death
Dysfunction
Inflammation
Proliferative
Types of spinal cord pathology
Transection
Atrophy
Compression
Concussion
Compression+ concussion
Fracture
Neoplasia
Degenerative
Inflammatory
Malformation
Haemorrhage
Ascending myelomalacia
Focal ischaemia
Global ischaemia
Chronic compression
what should you never give in acute spinal cord injury
steroids
what should you do if you suspect neck trauma
brace neck immediately
myotonia
chowchow/schnauzers/ cats
increased muscle tone/poor relaxatino after stimulation. persistent dimpling after percussion
treatment - procainamide mixelitine and phenytoin
polyarthritis/endocarditis
frequently linked but rarely diagnosed
pyrexia, lethargy, weight loss
treated with long course antibiotics
rheumatoid arthritis
severe/debilitating
destructive with radiographic lucenies
loss of articular surfaces and collapse of joint space
positive for rheumatoid factor
poor prognosis, often euthanised
feline erosive polyarthritis
proliferative and non forms. rare.
male more common
destructive. joint subluxations can occur
responds poorly to treatment
shar pei fever
breed associated polyarthritis
common 1/4
juvenile onset, pyrexia, swollen hocks
later development renal amyloidosis/renal failure
poor prognosis
immune mediated polyarthritis
can affect any synovial joint in the skeleton
erosive/non-erosive forms
erosive more severe
types
1- no underlying disease
2- associated with infection
3 - associated with gi disease
4 - associated with neoplasia
