Urinary and faecal N-methylhistamine concentrations do not serve as markers for mast cell activation or clinical disease activity in dogs with chronic enteropathies (2014)
Journal Article
Anfinsen, K. P., Berghoff, N., Priestnall, S. L., Suchodolski, J. S., Steiner, J. M., & Allenspach, K. (2014). Urinary and faecal N-methylhistamine concentrations do not serve as markers for mast cell activation or clinical disease activity in dogs with chronic enteropathies. Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 56(90), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13028-014-0090-y

This study sought to correlate faecal and urinary N-methylhistamine (NMH) concentrations with resting versus degranulated duodenal mast cell numbers in dogs with chronic enteropathies (CE), and investigate correlations between intestinal mast cell ac...

Extensive Horizontal Gene Transfer during Staphylococcus aureus Co-colonization In Vivo (2014)
Journal Article
McCarthy, A. J., Loeffler, A., Witney, A. A., Gould, K. A., Lloyd, D. H., & Lindsay, J. A. (2014). Extensive Horizontal Gene Transfer during Staphylococcus aureus Co-colonization In Vivo. Genome Biology and Evolution, 6(10), 2697-2708. https://doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evu214

Staphylococcus aureus is a commensal and major pathogen of humans and animals. Comparative genomics of S. aureus populations suggests that colonization of different host species is associated with carriage of mobile genetic elements (MGE), particular...

Cardiovascular changes after administration of aerosolized salbutamol in horses: five cases (2014)
Journal Article
Casoni, D., Spadavecchia, C., & Adami, C. (2014). Cardiovascular changes after administration of aerosolized salbutamol in horses: five cases. Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 56(49), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13028-014-0049-z

Prevention and treatment of intraoperative hypoxemia in horses is difficult and both efficacy and safety of therapeutic maneuvers have to be taken into account. Inhaled salbutamol has been suggested as treatment of hypoxia in horses during general an...
