Article Abstract
During epidural needle placement in a 32-kg dog the subarachnoid space was punctured and half the intended dose of lidocaine, bupivacaine, and morphine was injected. After recovery from anesthesia the dog showed signs of severe pruritus of the tail base and limbs and myoclonus of the tail and hind limbs. Methadone, acepromazine, ketamine, buprenorphine, and butorphanol were administered to control myoclonus and pruritus, but were unsuccessful. Diazepam was used to control myoclonus until the effects of morphine abated.

REM Density, Leg Movements, and REM Sleep without Atonia: Differentiating Type 1 from Type 2 Narcolepsy Through Polysomnographic Analysis, a Preliminary Study.
Nat Sci Sleep
September 2025
Department of Neurology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University and Shandong Provincial Qianfoshan Hospital, Jinan, Shandong, People's Republic of China.
Objective: This study aimed to identify distinct REM sleep characteristics that differentiate type 1 narcolepsy (NT1) from type 2 narcolepsy (NT2) using polysomnography (PSG), while acknowledging the need for future validation against other hypersomnia disorders.
Methods: A retrospective review included 31 patients with NT1, 21 patients with NT2, and 24 healthy participants. Each participant underwent overnight PSG and a subsequent multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) to assess REM sleep parameters including average REM density, neck myoclonus index, and leg movement index.
Effects of Phenobarbital and Prednisolone on Neurological Signs of Canine Distemper.

Department of Pathobiology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Mashhad, Iran.
Background: Canine distemper virus (CDV) is a highly infectious and often fatal disease in dogs, affecting various systems. Despite vaccination efforts, cases of distemper, especially the neurological form, remain a global concern due to its high fatality rate.
Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of phenobarbital and prednisolone in treating the neurological form of canine distemper (CD).

Myoclonus Dystonia is a Mendelian inherited, childhood-onset dystonic disorder, caused by mutations in the autosomal dominantly inherited SGCE gene, and in which both motor and psychiatric phenotypes are observed. Results from murine and in vivo human studies suggest dystonia is caused by disruption to neuronal networks, and in particular the basal ganglia-cerebello-thalamo-cortical circuit. Work focused on the cortical component implicates disruption to neuronal excitatory/inhibitory balance as being a key contributor in the observed phenotypes.

Department of Neurology, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison, Wisconsin, USA.
Objective: This study was undertaken to determine the thalamic nuclei that are different between juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) and healthy controls from the Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy Connectome Project and then to determine their relationship with other subcortical gray matter volumes, disease covariates, and motor performance.
Methods: Sixty-two patients with JME and 41 age-matched controls (mean age = 20 years) were examined using T1-weighted images. Thalamic nuclei volumes were compared after normalization to total intracranial volume.

A 26-year-old female with a history of depression was admitted after ingesting 7.5g of bupropion. Her clinical status rapidly deteriorated into a coma and myoclonic status, which was complicated by lung aspiration.
