An exploratory study using a statistical approach as a platform for clinical reasoning in canine epilepsy
Journal Article
Armasu, M., Packer, R. M. A., Cook, S., Solcan, G., & Volk, H. A. (in press). An exploratory study using a statistical approach as a platform for clinical reasoning in canine epilepsy. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2014.08.008

Links between deficits identified on neurological examination, age of seizure onset and the presence of structural forebrain disease have often been postulated in dogs presenting with a history of seizures. The purpose of this study was to assess the... Read More about An exploratory study using a statistical approach as a platform for clinical reasoning in canine epilepsy.

Clinical Risk Factors Associated with Anti-Epileptic Drug Responsiveness in Canine Epilepsy
Journal Article
Packer, R. M. A., Shihab, N. K., Torres, B. B. J., & Volk, H. A. (in press). Clinical Risk Factors Associated with Anti-Epileptic Drug Responsiveness in Canine Epilepsy. PLoS ONE, 9(8), e106026. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0106026

The nature and occurrence of remission, and conversely, pharmacoresistance following epilepsy treatment is still not fully understood in human or veterinary medicine. As such, predicting which patients will have good or poor treatment outcomes is imp... Read More about Clinical Risk Factors Associated with Anti-Epileptic Drug Responsiveness in Canine Epilepsy.

International Veterinary Epilepsy Task Force Consensus Proposal: Diagnostic approach to epilepsy in dogs
Journal Article
De Risio, L., Bhatti, S. F. A., Munana, K., Penderis, J., Stein, V., Tipold, A., …Volk, H. A. (in press). International Veterinary Epilepsy Task Force Consensus Proposal: Diagnostic approach to epilepsy in dogs. BMC Veterinary Research, 11(148), https://doi.org/10.1186/s12917-015-0462-1

This article outlines the consensus proposal on diagnosis of epilepsy in dogs by the International Veterinary Epilepsy Task Force. The aim of this consensus proposal is to improve consistency in the diagnosis of epilepsy in the clinical and research...

Epilepsy beyond seizures: a review of the impact of epilepsy and its comorbidities on health-related quality of life in dogs
Journal Article
Packer, R. M. A., & Volk, H. A. (in press). Epilepsy beyond seizures: a review of the impact of epilepsy and its comorbidities on health-related quality of life in dogs. Veterinary Record, 177(12), 306-315. https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.103360

Epilepsy is one of the most common chronic neurological conditions in the dog, estimated to affect 0.6 to 0.75 per cent of dogs. Owners of dogs with epilepsy have previously indicated that their dog's quality of life (QoL) is of greatest importance t...
