Last month, we investigated the contributions and causes of cognitive dysfunction (CD) in dogs as they age. One factor we looked at was oxidative damage, which can cause inflammation or damage to the neurons. Increased oxidative stress appears to affect all major cla...
Other things can do it too. For example, a stroke (vascular accident) can sometimes happen in dogs. A common one is a problem with the vestibular system, which is responsible for keeping balance. This is called geriatric vestibular syndrome. Rarely, inflammation or infections can do it. These...

Upper limb ischemic preconditioning prevents recurrent stroke in intracranial arterial stenosis. Neurology 79, 1853–1861 (2012). Article PubMed Google Scholar Curry, A. et al. Exercise pre-conditioning reduces brain inflammation in stroke via tumor necrosis factor-α, extracellular signal-regulated ...
Differences persist when lymphocytes harvested from men and women are stimulated in vitro [103], which is important because it rules out potentially confounding effects of the cells being in a male versus a female body. Differences in immune activation or inflammation in males and females during ...
In veterinary medicine, IL-1β concentration in peripheral blood has been described as a possible marker for early stages of inflammation in dogs [38]. Increased expression of IL-1β in the CNS has been reported in dogs with acute spinal cord injury (SCI) in choroid plexus [39], in the...
3 minutes. I was amazed. She has had no more diarrhea; she is only now on Xanax which I am trying to wean but she still spins to get that lost tail but is improving. I am in contact with a friend whose brother adopted the Basset as I want to compare reactions of these two dogs...
Stabilizing histamine release in gut mast cells mitigates peripheral and central inflammation after stroke Stroke is the most common cause of long-term disability and places a high economic burden on the global healthcare system. Functional outcomes from stroke are largely determined by the extent of...
To get a closer look at this process, the researchers stimulated inflammation in a part of the mouse brain that controls movement. They expected that neurons would die and the mice would have trouble moving. The mice did struggle to move, but when the researchers looked at their brain tissue...
This review summarises the current clinical perspective on the roles of inflammation and infection in hepatic encephalopathy and presents the evidence base for existing therapies and those in development in the setting of acute and chronic liver failure....
