Biomechanics and energetics of walking on uneven terrain (2013)
Journal Article
Voloshina, A. S., Kuo, A. D., Daley, M. A., & Ferris, D. P. (2013). Biomechanics and energetics of walking on uneven terrain. Journal of Experimental Biology, 216(21), 3963-3970. https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.081711

Walking on uneven terrain is more energetically costly than walking on smooth ground, but the biomechanical factors that contribute to this increase are unknown. To identify possible factors, we constructed an uneven terrain treadmill that allowed us... Read More about Biomechanics and energetics of walking on uneven terrain.

Influence of oxytetracycline on carprofen pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics in calves (2013)
Journal Article
Brentnall, C., Cheng, Z. R., McKellar, Q. A., & Lees, P. (2013). Influence of oxytetracycline on carprofen pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics in calves. Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 36(4), 320-328. https://doi.org/10.1111/jvp.12000

A tissue cage model of inflammation in calves was used to determine the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of individual carprofen enantiomers, following the administration of the racemate. RS(±) carprofen was administered subcutaneously... Read More about Influence of oxytetracycline on carprofen pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics in calves.

Influence of energy balance on the antimicrobial peptides S100A8 and S100A9 in the endometrium of the postpartum dairy cow (2013)
Journal Article
Swangchan-Uthai, T., Chen, Q., Kirton, S. E., Fenwick, M. A., Cheng, Z. R., Paton, J., …Wathes, D. C. (2013). Influence of energy balance on the antimicrobial peptides S100A8 and S100A9 in the endometrium of the postpartum dairy cow. Reproduction, 145(5), 527-539. https://doi.org/10.1530/REP-12-0513

Uterine inflammation occurs after calving in association with extensive endometrial remodelling and bacterial contamination. If the inflammation persists, it leads to reduced fertility. Chronic endometritis is highly prevalent in high-yielding cows t...

Vaulting mechanics successfully predict decrease in walk-run transition speed with incline (2013)
Journal Article
Hubel, T. Y., & Usherwood, J. R. (2013). Vaulting mechanics successfully predict decrease in walk-run transition speed with incline. Biology Letters, 9(2), https://doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2012.1121

There is an ongoing debate about the reasons underlying gait transition in terrestrial locomotion. In bipedal locomotion, the ‘compass gait’, a reductionist model of inverted pendulum walking, predicts the boundaries of speed and step length within w...

Estrogen Receptor-alpha Is Required for the Osteogenic Response to Mechanical Loading in a Ligand-Independent Manner Involving Its Activation Function 1 but Not 2 (2013)
Journal Article
Windahl, S. H., Saxon, L. K., Borjesson, A. E., Lagerquist, M. K., Frenkel, B., Henning, P., …Ohlsson, C. (2013). Estrogen Receptor-alpha Is Required for the Osteogenic Response to Mechanical Loading in a Ligand-Independent Manner Involving Its Activation Function 1 but Not 2. Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, 28(2), 291-301. https://doi.org/10.1002/jbmr.1754

Estrogen receptor‐α (ERα) is crucial for the adaptive response of bone to loading but the role of endogenous estradiol (E2) for this response is unclear. To determine in vivo the ligand dependency and relative roles of different ERα domains for the o...

Assessment of Farm-Level Biosecurity Measures after an Outbreak of Avian Influenza in the United Kingdom (2011)
Journal Article
Knight-Jones, T. J. D., Gibbens, J., Wooldridge, M., & Staerk, K. D. C. (2011). Assessment of Farm-Level Biosecurity Measures after an Outbreak of Avian Influenza in the United Kingdom. Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 58(1), 69-75. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1865-1682.2010.01183.x

During Avian Influenza outbreaks in England, the ‘AI Order’ states that a poultry keeper may be required to keep domestic birds separate from wild birds. This study aimed to assess a) how effectively this was done and b) the negative impact this had...
