Welcome to RVC Repository

RVC Research Online is a repository of the research outputs produced by staff from the Royal Veterinary College (RVC). The aims of the repository are (i) to provide an institutional archive of RVC's research outputs, (ii) to provide access to these outputs and support open science, and (iii) to increase the reach and impact of RVC's research.

Identifying patient subgroups in the heterogeneous chronic pain population using cluster analysis (2025)
Journal Article
Rijsdijk, M., Smits, H., Azizoglu, H., Brugman, S., van de Burgt, Y., Charldorp, T., Gelder, D., Grauw, J., Lange, E., Meye, F., Strick, M., Walravens, H., Winkens, L., Huygen, F., Drylewicz, J., & Willemen, H. (2025). Identifying patient subgroups in the heterogeneous chronic pain population using cluster analysis. The Journal of Pain, 28, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpain.2025.104792

Chronic pain is an ill-defined disease with complex biopsychosocial aspects, posing treatment challenges. We hypothesized that treatment failure results, at least partly, from limited understanding of diverse patient subgroups. We aimed to identify s...

Aberrant Right Subclavian Arteries in Dogs Have a Prevalence of 1.2% and Are More Likely to be an Incidental Finding on Computed Tomographic Studies of the Thorax (2025)
Journal Article
Jones, C., Klever, J., Cordella, A., Fouriez-Lablee, V., Watton, T., & Llabres-Diaz, F. (2025). Aberrant Right Subclavian Arteries in Dogs Have a Prevalence of 1.2% and Are More Likely to be an Incidental Finding on Computed Tomographic Studies of the Thorax. Veterinary Radiology and Ultrasound, 66(2), https://doi.org/10.1111/vru.70011

Aberrant right subclavian arteries (ARSAs) are a form of vascular ring anomaly (VRA) in dogs and the most common VRA in people. To date, there has been no large-scale study on ARSA in dogs and their potential clinical significance. For part one, a si...

Extracellular matrix: Dystroglycan interactions-Roles for the dystrophin-associated glycoprotein complex in skeletal tissue dynamics (2025)
Journal Article
Hopkinson, M., & Pitsillides, A. (2025). Extracellular matrix: Dystroglycan interactions-Roles for the dystrophin-associated glycoprotein complex in skeletal tissue dynamics. International Journal of Experimental Pathology, 106(2), https://doi.org/10.1111/iep.12525

Contributions made by the dystrophin-associated glycoprotein complex (DGC) to cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions are vital in development, homeostasis and pathobiology. This review explores how DGC functions may extend to skel...
