Investigating the resistome of haemolytic bacteria in Arctic soils (2024)
Journal Article
Mogrovejo-Arias, D., Hay, M., Edwards, A., Mitchell, A., Steinmann, J., Brill, F., & Neumann, B. (2024). Investigating the resistome of haemolytic bacteria in Arctic soils. Environmental Microbiology Reports, 16(5), https://doi.org/10.1111/1758-2229.70028

Microorganisms inhabiting hostile Arctic environments express a variety of functional phenotypes, some of clinical interest, such as haemolytic ability and antimicrobial resistance. We studied haemolytic bacterial isolates from Arctic habitats, asses... Read More about Investigating the resistome of haemolytic bacteria in Arctic soils.

Hoof slip duration at impact in galloping Thoroughbred ex-racehorses trialling eight shoe-surface combinations (2024)
Journal Article
Horan, K., Coburn, J., Kourdache, K., Day, P., Carnall, H., Brinkley, L., Harborne, D., Hammond, L., Millard, S., Weller, R., & Pfau, T. (2024). Hoof slip duration at impact in galloping Thoroughbred ex-racehorses trialling eight shoe-surface combinations. PLoS ONE, 19(10), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0311899

Horseshoes used during racing are a major determinant of safety as they play a critical role in providing traction with the ground surface. Although excessive hoof slip is detrimental and can predispose to instabilities, falls and injuries, some slip...

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, https://doi.org/10.1111/jvim.17222

BackgroundPeripheral nodal B-cell lymphomas (PNBCL) represent the most common presentation of lymphomas in dogs. Multiagent CHOP (C = cyclophosphamide, H = hydroxydaunorubicin [Doxorubicin], O = Oncovin, P = prednisolone)-based chemotherapy protocols...

Three seven-year-old African clawed frogs (Xenopus laevis) from an animal research facility showed weight loss, coelomic distention and an abnormal swimming gait were euthanised on welfare grounds. A complete necropsy of each animal showed a focal, f... Read More about Spontaneous hepatocellular and gastric tumours in African clawed frogs (Xenopus laevis).
