Comparison of a reverse-transverse cross pin technique with a same side cross pin type II external skeletal fixator in 89 dogs (2015)
Journal Article
Tsai, K., & Pead, M. J. (2015). Comparison of a reverse-transverse cross pin technique with a same side cross pin type II external skeletal fixator in 89 dogs. International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, 8(10), 18023-31

The objective of this study was to determine whether a novel reverse-transverse cross pin insertion technique could increase the stability of type II external skeletal fixators (ESF) in dogs compared with an alternate, same side cross pin ESF. Revers... Read More about Comparison of a reverse-transverse cross pin technique with a same side cross pin type II external skeletal fixator in 89 dogs.

Impact of facial conformation on canine health: Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (2015)
Journal Article
Packer, R. M. A., Hendricks, A., Tivers, M. S., & Burn, C. C. (2015). Impact of facial conformation on canine health: Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome. PLoS ONE, 10(10), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0137496

The domestic dog may be the most morphologically diverse terrestrial mammalian species known to man; pedigree dogs are artificially selected for extreme aesthetics dictated by formal Breed Standards, and breed-related disorders linked to conformation...

Errors in Veterinary Practice: Preliminary Lessons for Building Better Veterinary Teams (2015)
Journal Article
Kinnison, T., Guile, D., & May, S. A. (2015). Errors in Veterinary Practice: Preliminary Lessons for Building Better Veterinary Teams. Veterinary Record, 177(19), 492. https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.103327

Case studies in two typical UK veterinary practices were undertaken to explore teamwork, including interprofessional working. Each study involved one week of whole team observation based on practice locations (reception, operating theatre), one week...

Effects of Functional Electrical Stimulation on Denervated Laryngeal Muscle in a Large Animal Model (2015)
Journal Article
Cheetham, J., Perkins, J. D. M., Jarvis, J. C., Cercone, M., Maw, M., Hermanson, J. W., …Ducharme, N. G. (2015). Effects of Functional Electrical Stimulation on Denervated Laryngeal Muscle in a Large Animal Model. Artificial Organs, 39(10), 876-885. https://doi.org/10.1111/aor.12624

Bilateral vocal fold paralysis (BVCP) is a life‐threatening condition that follows injury to the Recurrent Laryngeal nerve (RLn) and denervation of the intrinsic laryngeal musculature. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) enables restoration and c... Read More about Effects of Functional Electrical Stimulation on Denervated Laryngeal Muscle in a Large Animal Model.

Retinoid X receptor activation reverses age-related deficiencies in myelin debris phagocytosis and remyelination (2015)
Journal Article
Natrajan, M. S., De La Fuente, A. G., Crawford, A. H., Lineham, E., Nuñez, V., Johnson, K. R., …Franklin, R. J. (2015). Retinoid X receptor activation reverses age-related deficiencies in myelin debris phagocytosis and remyelination. Brain, 138(Pt12), 3581-97. https://doi.org/10.1093/brain/awv289

The efficiency of central nervous system remyelination declines with age. This is in part due to an age-associated decline in the phagocytic removal of myelin debris, which contains inhibitors of oligodendrocyte progenitor cell differentiation. In th...
