Pilot study of head conformation changes over time in the Cavalier King Charles spaniel breed (2019)
Journal Article
Knowler, S. P., Gillstedt, L., Mitchell, T. J., Jovanovik, J., Volk, H. A., & Rusbridge, C. (2019). Pilot study of head conformation changes over time in the Cavalier King Charles spaniel breed. Veterinary Record, 184(4), https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.105135

Modern interpretation of head conformation in the Cavalier King Charles spaniel (CKCS) has favoured a smaller, more exaggerated, brachycephalic type than originally described in the 1929 breed standard. Recent research studies identified brachycephal... Read More about Pilot study of head conformation changes over time in the Cavalier King Charles spaniel breed.

Pharmacokinetics of an intravenous and oral dose of enrofloxacin in white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) (2019)
Journal Article
Leiberich, M., Krebber, R., Hewetson, M., Marais, J., & Naidoo, V. (2019). Pharmacokinetics of an intravenous and oral dose of enrofloxacin in white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum). Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 42(3), 346-354. https://doi.org/10.1111/jvp.12747

South Africa currently loses over 1000 white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) each year to poaching incidents, and numbers of severely injured victims found alive have increased dramatically. However, little is known about the antimicrobial treatment... Read More about Pharmacokinetics of an intravenous and oral dose of enrofloxacin in white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum).

CXCR4 Antagonism to Treat Delayed Fracture Healing (2019)
Journal Article
Meeson, R. L., Sanghani, A., Coathup, M., & Blunn, G. (2019). CXCR4 Antagonism to Treat Delayed Fracture Healing. https://doi.org/10.1089/ten.TEA.2018.0265

A significant number of fractures develop non-union. Stem cell homing is regulated through SDF-1 and its receptor CXCR4. Stem/progenitor cell populations can be endogenously mobilised by administering growth factors with a pharmacological antagonist...

Genome reconstruction of a novel carbohydrate digesting bacterium from the chicken caecal microflora (2019)
Journal Article
Hinsu, A. T., Pandit, R. J., Patel, S. H., Psifidi, A., Tomley, F. M., Das, S. K., …Joshi, C. G. (2019). Genome reconstruction of a novel carbohydrate digesting bacterium from the chicken caecal microflora. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mgene.2019.01.002

The advent of metagenomics using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) has led to the acquisition of unprecedented quantities of bacterial sequence data. One use for these data is the recovery of complete genomes of uncultivable, and thus uncharacterised,...

Pituitary pathology and gene expression in acromegalic cats (2019)
Journal Article
Scudder, C. J., Mirczuk, S. M., Richardson, K. M., Crossley, V. J., Regan, J. T. C., Gostelow, R., …Niessen, S. J. M. (2019). Pituitary pathology and gene expression in acromegalic cats. Journal of the Endocrine Society, 3(1), 181-200. https://doi.org/10.1210/js.2018-00226

The prevalence of growth hormone secreting pituitary tumours in domestic cats (Felis catus) is ten times greater than in humans. The predominant inhibitory receptors of growth hormone-secreting pituitary tumours are somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) and...

Quantitative sensory testing with Electronic von Frey Anesthesiometer and von Frey filaments in nonpainful cats: a pilot study (2019)
Journal Article
Machin, H., Kato, E., & Adami, C. (2019). Quantitative sensory testing with Electronic von Frey Anesthesiometer and von Frey filaments in nonpainful cats: a pilot study. Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia, 46(2), 251-254. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vaa.2018.09.003

Measurement of sensory thresholds could represent a complementary tool to behavioural pain scores in cats. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of quantitative sensory testing (QST) with the Electronic von Frey Anesthesiometer (EV...
