Combination of magnesium sulphate and ropivacaine epidural analgesia for hip arthroplasty in dogs (2017)
Journal Article
Lardonea, E., Peironea, B., & Adami, C. (2017). Combination of magnesium sulphate and ropivacaine epidural analgesia for hip arthroplasty in dogs. Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia, 44(5), 1227-1235. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vaa.2016.11.016

The aim of this study was to determine whether lumbosacral epidural administration of magnesium sulphate added to ropivacaine prolongs and improves perioperative analgesia, without adverse effects on motor block duration or hind limb neurologica...

Variants in the 3'UTR of the ovine Acetyl-Coenzyme A Acyltransferase 2 gene are associated with dairy traits and exhibit differential allelic expression (2017)
Journal Article
Miltiadou, D., Hager-Theodorides, A., Symeou, S., Constantinou, C., Psifidi, A., Banos, G., & Tzamaloukas, O. (2017). Variants in the 3'UTR of the ovine Acetyl-Coenzyme A Acyltransferase 2 gene are associated with dairy traits and exhibit differential allelic expression. Journal of Dairy Science, 100(8), 6285-6297. https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2016-12326

The acetyl-CoA acyltransferase 2 (ACAA2) gene encodes an enzyme of the thiolase family that is involved in mitochondrial fatty acid elongation and degradation by catalyzing the last step of the respective β-oxidation pathway. The increased energy nee... Read More about Variants in the 3'UTR of the ovine Acetyl-Coenzyme A Acyltransferase 2 gene are associated with dairy traits and exhibit differential allelic expression.

Breed, Coat Color, and Hair Length as Risk Factors for Hyperthyroidism in Cats (2017)
Journal Article
Crossley, V. J., Debnath, A., Chang, Y. M., Fowkes, R. C., Elliott, J., & Syme, H. M. (2017). Breed, Coat Color, and Hair Length as Risk Factors for Hyperthyroidism in Cats. Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 31(4), 1028-1034. https://doi.org/10.1111/jvim.14737

Hyperthyroidism is very common in older cats, but the etiopathogenesis is poorly understood. Decreased risk of hyperthyroidism has been reported in certain colorpoint breeds, and this observation previously has been hypothesized to result from relati...

Use of a Granulocyte Immunofluorescence Assay Designed for Humans for Detection of Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies in Dogs with Chronic Enteropathies (2017)
Journal Article
Florey, J., Viall, A., Streu, S., DiMuro, V., Riddle, A. L., Kirk, J., …Allenspach, K. (2017). Use of a Granulocyte Immunofluorescence Assay Designed for Humans for Detection of Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies in Dogs with Chronic Enteropathies. Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 31(4), 1062-1066. https://doi.org/10.1111/jvim.14774

Perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (pANCA) previously have been shown to be serum markers in dogs with chronic enteropathies, with dogs that have food‐responsive disease (FRD) having higher frequencies of seropositivity than dogs with...

Clinical presentation and outcome of dogs treated medically or surgically for thoracolumbar intervertebral disc protrusion (2017)
Journal Article
Crawford, A. H., & De Decker, S. (2017). Clinical presentation and outcome of dogs treated medically or surgically for thoracolumbar intervertebral disc protrusion. Veterinary Record, 180(23), https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.103871

To date, few studies have investigated the clinical characteristics of thoracolumbar intervertebral disc protrusion (IVDP). The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the presentation and outcome of dogs receiving medical or surgical treatme...

Investigations into the Sarcomeric Protein and Ca2+-Regulation Abnormalities Underlying Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in Cats (Felix catus). (2017)
Journal Article
Messer, A. E., Chan, J., Daley, A., Copeland, O., Marston, S. B., & Connolly, D. J. (2017). Investigations into the Sarcomeric Protein and Ca2+-Regulation Abnormalities Underlying Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in Cats (Felix catus). Frontiers in Physiology, 8, 348. https://doi.org/10.3389/fphys.2017.00348

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common single gene inherited cardiomyopathy. In cats (Felix catus) HCM is even more prevalent and affects 16% of the outbred population and up to 26% in pedigree breeds such as Maine Coon and Ragdoll. Hom...
