Journal Article
Van Den Broek, D. H. N., Geddes, R. F., Williams, T. L., Chang, Y. M., Elliott, J., & Jepson, R. E. (2018). Calcitonin Response to Naturally Occurring Ionized Hypercalcemia in Cats with Chronic Kidney Disease. Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 32(2), 727-735. https://doi.org/10.1111/jvim.15051

Background: Hypercalcemia is commonly associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in cats. Objectives: To explore the calcitonin response to naturally occurring ionized hypercalcemia in cats with azotemic CKD, and to assess the relationship of...

Associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms in the calcium sensing receptor and chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder in cats (2018)
Journal Article
Geddes, R. F., Jepson, R. E., Forcada, Y., Elliott, J., & Syme, H. M. (2018). Associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms in the calcium sensing receptor and chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder in cats. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2018.02.010

Feline chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with high variability in severity of CKD-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD). The calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) regulates circulating parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcium concentrations. Single nuc...

Caudal articular process dysplasia of thoracic vertebrae in neurologically normal French bulldogs, English bulldogs, and Pugs: Prevalence and characteristics (2018)
Journal Article
Bertram, S., Ter Haar, G., & De Decker, S. (2018). Caudal articular process dysplasia of thoracic vertebrae in neurologically normal French bulldogs, English bulldogs, and Pugs: Prevalence and characteristics. https://doi.org/10.1111/vru.12609

The aims of this study were to evaluate the prevalence and anatomical characteristics of thoracic caudal articular process dysplasia in French bulldogs, English bulldogs and Pugs presenting for problems unrelated to spinal disease. In this retrospect... Read More about Caudal articular process dysplasia of thoracic vertebrae in neurologically normal French bulldogs, English bulldogs, and Pugs: Prevalence and characteristics.

Diagnosis of anaplastic large-cell lymphoma in a dog using CD30 immunohistochemistry (2018)
Journal Article
Pittaway, R., Wu, Y., Suárez-Bonnet, A., Szladovits, B., Scurrell, E. J., Garden, O. A., …Priestnall, S. L. (2018). Diagnosis of anaplastic large-cell lymphoma in a dog using CD30 immunohistochemistry. Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, https://doi.org/10.1177/1040638718760965

Anaplastic large-cell lymphoma or null-cell lymphoma is a clinical entity reported in people, classified according to the unique appearance of large pleomorphic cells that express CD30. Null-cell lymphoma has also been described in dogs when neither... Read More about Diagnosis of anaplastic large-cell lymphoma in a dog using CD30 immunohistochemistry.

Cognitive dysfunction in naturally occurring canine idiopathic epilepsy (2018)
Journal Article
Packer, R. M. A., McGreevy, P. D., Salvin, H. E., Valenzuela, M. J., Chaplin, C. M., & Volk, H. A. (2018). Cognitive dysfunction in naturally occurring canine idiopathic epilepsy. PLoS ONE, 13(2), e0192182. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0192182

Globally, epilepsy is a common serious brain disorder. In addition to seizure activity, epilepsy is associated with cognitive impairments including static cognitive impairments present at onset, progressive seizure-induced impairments and co-morbid d...

Longitudinal changes in telomere length and associated genetic parameters in dairy cattle analysed using random regression models (2018)
Journal Article
Seeker, L. A., Ilska, J. J., Psifidi, A., Wilbourn, R. V., Underwood, S. L., Fairlie, J., …Banos, G. (2018). Longitudinal changes in telomere length and associated genetic parameters in dairy cattle analysed using random regression models. PLoS ONE, 13(2), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0192864

Telomeres cap the ends of linear chromosomes and shorten with age in many organisms. In humans short telomeres have been linked to morbidity and mortality. With the accumulation of longitudinal datasets the focus shifts from investigating telomere le...
