A preliminary study assessing cytokine production following ex vivo stimulation of whole blood with diet in dogs with chronic enteropathy (2019)
Journal Article
Kathrani, A., & Hall, E. (2019). A preliminary study assessing cytokine production following ex vivo stimulation of whole blood with diet in dogs with chronic enteropathy. BMC Veterinary Research, 15(185), https://doi.org/10.1186/s12917-019-1940-7

Ex vivo whole blood stimulation assays (WBSA) have been used to characterize the cytokine response to diet in cats. The present study aimed to use this assay to determine the cytokine response to diets being fed at the time of diagnosis to dogs with...

First evidence for an association between joint hypermobility and excitability in a non-human species, the domestic dog (2019)
Journal Article
Bowen, J., Fatjó, J., Serpell, J. A., Bulbena-Cabré, A., Leighton, E., & Bulbena, A. (2019). First evidence for an association between joint hypermobility and excitability in a non-human species, the domestic dog. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-45096-0

There is a well-established relationship between joint hypermobility and anxiety in humans, that has not previously been investigated in other species. A population of 5575 assistance dogs were scored for both hip hypermobility and 13 behaviour chara...

Best practice in supporting professional identity formation: Use of a professional reasoning framework (2019)
Journal Article
Armitage-Chan, E. A. (2019). Best practice in supporting professional identity formation: Use of a professional reasoning framework. Journal of Veterinary Medical Education, https://doi.org/10.3138/jvme.0218-019r

Professional identity and professionalism education are increasingly important to veterinary education, but many of the concepts remain intangible to veterinary students, and engagement is a persistent challenge. While whole-curriculum integration is... Read More about Best practice in supporting professional identity formation: Use of a professional reasoning framework.

VetCAST method for determination of the pharmacokineticpharmacodynamic cut-off values of a long-acting formulation of florfenicol to support clinical breakpoints for florfenicol Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing in cattle (2019)
Journal Article
Toutain, P., Sidhu, P. K., Lees, P., Rassouli, A., & Pelligand, L. (2019). VetCAST method for determination of the pharmacokineticpharmacodynamic cut-off values of a long-acting formulation of florfenicol to support clinical breakpoints for florfenicol Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing in cattle. Frontiers in Microbiology, 10(1310), https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2019.01310

The PK/PD cut-off (PK/PDCO ) value of florfenicol for calf pathogens was determined for long acting formulations (MSD Nuflor® and a bioequivalent generic product). PK/PDCO is one of the three MICs considered by VetCAST, a sub-committee of the Europea...

Semi-Mechanistic Modeling of Florfenicol Time-Kill Curves and in silico Dose Fractionation for Calf Respiratory Pathogens (2019)
Journal Article
Pelligand, L., Lees, P., Sidhu, P. K., & Toutain, P. (2019). Semi-Mechanistic Modeling of Florfenicol Time-Kill Curves and in silico Dose Fractionation for Calf Respiratory Pathogens. Frontiers in Microbiology, 10, https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2019.01237

An important application of time-kill curve (TKC) assays is determination of the nature of the best PK/PD index (fAUC/MIC or fT% > MIC) and its target value for predicting clinical efficacy in vivo. VetCAST (the veterinary subcommittee of EUCAST) her... Read More about Semi-Mechanistic Modeling of Florfenicol Time-Kill Curves and in silico Dose Fractionation for Calf Respiratory Pathogens.
