Pattern-recognition receptor mRNA expression and function in canine monocyte/macrophages and relevance to canine anal furunuclosis
Journal Article
House, A. K., Gregory, S. P., & Catchpole, B. Pattern-recognition receptor mRNA expression and function in canine monocyte/macrophages and relevance to canine anal furunuclosis. Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 124(3-4), 230-240. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vetimm.2008.03.012

Pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) are important components of the innate immune system, enabling early detection of infection. Defective PRR function has been implicated in several infectious and immune-mediated diseases of human beings. including...

Fluid therapy in small animals 2. Crystalloid solutions
Journal Article
Humm, K. R., Goggs, R., & Hughes, D. Fluid therapy in small animals 2. Crystalloid solutions. In Practice, 30(2), 85-91

CRYSTALLOID fluids contain water, electrolytes and non-electrolyte solutes, and can enter all body fluid compartments. They can be used to replace fluid deficits or to provide for ongoing losses, and play an important role in small animal veterinary... Read More about Fluid therapy in small animals 2. Crystalloid solutions.

Plasma asymmetric dimethylarginine, symmetric dimethylarginine, L-arginine, and nitrite/nitrate concentrations in cats with chronic kidney disease and hypertension
Journal Article
Jepson, R. E., Syme, H. M., Vallance, C., & Elliott, J. Plasma asymmetric dimethylarginine, symmetric dimethylarginine, L-arginine, and nitrite/nitrate concentrations in cats with chronic kidney disease and hypertension. Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 22(2), 317-324. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1939-1676.2008.0075.x

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hypertension have been associated with decreased bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO) and endothelial dysfunction. Increased concentrations of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) inhibitor asymmet...

Coagulation abnormalities and complications after percutaneous liver biopsy in horses
Journal Article
Johns, I. C., & Sweeney, R. W. Coagulation abnormalities and complications after percutaneous liver biopsy in horses. Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 22(1), 185-189. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1939-1676.2007.0006.x

Background: Liver biopsy is useful in the diagnosis of liver disease in horses. However, bleeding is the major complication. Liver dysfunction can result in abnormalities in coagulation, although there is no definitive association between risk of hem...

Can exercise modulate the maturation of functionally different immature tendons in the horse?
Journal Article
Kasashima, Y., Takahashi, T., Birch, H. L., Smith, R. K. W., & Goodship, A. E. Can exercise modulate the maturation of functionally different immature tendons in the horse?. Journal of Applied Physiology, 104(2), 416-422. https://doi.org/10.1152/japplphysiol.00379.2007

Tendons can be considered in two functional groups, those contributing to energetics of locomotion and those acting solely to position the limb. The energy-storing tendons in both human and equine athletes have a high frequency of injury with similar...
