Initiation Of Therapy

A 9-year-old male intact mixed-breed dog was presented to The Ohio State University Veterinary Medical Center for evaluation of two days’ duration of weakness, lethargy, inappetence, and one episode of vomiting the day of presentation. On presentation, the dog was depressed and tetraparetic. He was noted to be icteric and dehydrated. Obesity and truncal alopecia with a “rat tail” appearance were observed. Diagnostic testing revealed evidence of an acute hepatopathy and peritonitis. Given the dog’s neurologic status, physical examination abnormalities, including a “tragic facial expression”, and hyperlipidemia, there was concern for possible myxedema coma. A thyroid panel was consistent with hypothyroidism. The dog experienced respiratory arrest prior to initiation of therapy, and an autopsy confirmed the presence of subacute necrotizing cholangiohepatitis, marked atherosclerosis, and severe thyroid atrophy. These clinical and pathologic changes were supportive of myxedema coma.

Abstract Objectives Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neuropsychiatric disorder commonly diagnosed in childhood. Current pharmaceutical treatment options provide a poor long-term risk: benefit ratio with little knowledge of the long-term effects. A broad-spectrum multi-nutrient formula has shown promise in children, but its effects on nutrient status and the underlying metabolome interactions have not been characterized. Methods Blood samples from medication-free children (n = 74) with ADHD enrolled in a double–blind randomized placebo-controlled multinutrient trial (RCT) were collected at baseline and 8 weeks post-intervention. Following RCT is an 8-week open label phase during which all participants took the active supplement. Symptoms were assessed using the Child and Adolescent Symptom Inventory 5. Double-blinded plasma samples will be analyzed for tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, magnesium, and zinc. Untargeted LC-MS metabolomics using HILIC chromatography and a high resolution QTof will assess very polar analytes in plasma extracts. Linear modeling will elucidate the influence of treatment, sampling time, and ADHD symptom score on plasma nutrient and plasma metabolite concentration. Results Preliminary findings of the open label phase show a significant improvement in inattention (P = 0.0435), hyperactivity (P = 0.0068), ODD (P = 0.0108) and DMDD (P = 0.0119). We hypothesize that these improvements in ADHD symptoms will be correlated with increased circulating concentrations of tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, magnesium, zinc, and metabolites involved in neurotransmitter synthesis and/or branched chain amino acid metabolism. Conclusions Preliminary findings indicate improvements of ADHD symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, ODD and DMDD following 8 weeks of open label multi-nutrient supplementation. Results of the double-blinded phase are expected to mirror those observed in the open label phase, with increases in nutrients in those receiving the multinutrient.

Ectopic Ureters

Urinary incontinence in juvenile female dogs is often associated with urogenital anatomic anomalies. Study objectives include: (1) determine hospital prevalence of urinary incontinence in juvenile female soft-coated wheaten terriers (SCWTs) compared to other affected dogs; (2) characterize anatomic anomalies affecting urinary incontinent juvenile female SCWTs utilizing uroendoscopy; and (3) compare incidence of ectopic ureters, paramesonephric remnants, and short urethras in juvenile female urinary incontinent SCWTs to other juvenile female dogs with urinary incontinence. We hypothesize juvenile SCWTs have an increased prevalence of urinary incontinence and an increased incidence of ectopic ureters, paramesonephric remnants, and short urethras compared to non-SCWTs with urinary incontinence within our hospital population. Medical records of female dogs 6 mo of age and younger with clinical signs of urinary incontinence and video uroendoscopic evaluation presenting to The Ohio State University Veterinary Medical Center from January 2000 to December 2011 were reviewed. Twelve juvenile SCWTs and 107 juvenile non-SCWTs met the inclusion criteria. Juvenile SCWTs were found to have an increased hospital prevalence of urinary incontinence compared to other affected breeds. Observed anomalies in SCWTs include: ectopic ureters, shortened urethras, paramesonephric remnants, and bifid vaginas. This information will help guide veterinarians in recognizing a breed-related disorder of the lower urogenital tract in SCWTs.
