Blood thiamin concentrations in bovine polioencephalomalacia
Abstract:
Thiamin concentrations were determined by the thiochrome method in blood from 16 cattle with polioencephalomalacia (PEM) or other apparent central nervous disorders. The mean blood total thiamin concentration of the five cattle with PEM (20.5 +/- 5.1 microg/100 ml blood) was not significantly different from concentrations in the cattle with the other disorders, despite evidence of a thiamin diphosphate deficiency reported in cattle with PEM.

Overview
01:18Viral Meningitis
Viral meningitis is the most common form of meningitis and is often referred to as aseptic meningitis to indicate the absence of bacterial involvement. It is generally milder than bacterial meningitis, with symptoms including fever, headache, stiff neck, drowsiness, nausea, photophobia, and vomiting. Rarely, more severe manifestations or death may occur. Common causative agents include enteroviruses, particularly coxsackie A and B viruses and echoviruses, all members of the Enterovirus genus...
01:17Poliomyelitis
Poliomyelitis is caused by poliovirus, a small, non-enveloped, positive-sense RNA virus of the Picornaviridae family and Enterovirus genus. Transmission occurs primarily via the fecal-oral route, often through ingestion of contaminated water or food. The virus initially replicates in the oropharynx and intestinal mucosa, particularly in lymphoid tissues such as the tonsils, Peyer’s patches, and regional lymph nodes. Primary viremia follows, allowing dissemination throughout the body.In most...
