C7 vertebra homeotic transformation in domestic dogs – are Pug dogs breaking mammalian evolutionary constraints? (2018)
Journal Article
Brocal, J., De Decker, S., José-López, R., Manzanilla, E. G., Penderis, J., Stalin, C., …Gutierrez-Quintana, R. (2018). C7 vertebra homeotic transformation in domestic dogs – are Pug dogs breaking mammalian evolutionary constraints?. Journal of Anatomy, https://doi.org/10.1111/joa.12822

The number of cervical vertebrae in mammals is almost constant at seven, regardless of their neck length, implying that there is selection against variation in this number. Homebox (Hox) genes are involved in this evolutionary mammalian conservation,...

Prognostic value of mitral annular systolic plane excursion and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion in cats with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (2018)
Journal Article
Spalla, I., Payne, J. R., Borgeat, K. A., Fuentes, V. L., & Connolly, D. J. (2018). Prognostic value of mitral annular systolic plane excursion and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion in cats with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Journal of Veterinary Cardiology, 20(3), 154-164. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvc.2018.04.005

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) has a variable prognosis; left atrial size, presence of clinical signs and left ventricular systolic function have been shown to predict outcomes. Mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE) and tricuspid annular...

Biomechanics of Two External Fixator Devices Used in Rat Femoral Fractures (2018)
Journal Article
Osagie-Clouard, L., Kaufmann, J., Blunn, G., Coathup, M., Pendegrass, C., Meeson, R. L., …Moazen, M. (2018). Biomechanics of Two External Fixator Devices Used in Rat Femoral Fractures. Journal of Orthopaedic Research, https://doi.org/10.1002/jor.24034

The use of external fixators allows for the direct investigation of newly formed interfragmentary bone, and the radiographic evaluation of the fracture. We validated the results of a finite element model with the in vitro stiffness' of two widely use... Read More about Biomechanics of Two External Fixator Devices Used in Rat Femoral Fractures.

Approach to canine paroxysmal dyskinesias (2018)
Journal Article
Posporis, C., Wyatt, S., & Wessmann, A. (2018). Approach to canine paroxysmal dyskinesias. Companion Animal, 23(5), https://doi.org/10.12968/coan.2018.23.5.276

The term ‘paroxysmal dyskinesia’ (PD) describes a manifestation of involuntary movement or muscle tone, which by definition is episodic in nature and self-limiting. The PDs remain poorly understood and frequently under-recognised conditions in vete... Read More about Approach to canine paroxysmal dyskinesias.
