Importance of Viral Disease in Dairy Cow Fertility (2019)
Journal Article
Wathes, D. C., Oguejiofor, C. F., Tomas, C., & Cheng, Z. R. (2019). Importance of Viral Disease in Dairy Cow Fertility. Engineering, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eng.2019.07.020

Many viral diseases are endemic in cattle populations worldwide. The ability of many viruses to cross the placenta and cause abortions and fetal malformations is well understood. There is also significant evidence that viral infections have additiona... Read More about Importance of Viral Disease in Dairy Cow Fertility.

Application of an equine composite pain scale and its association with plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone concentrations and serum cortisol concentrations in horses with colic (2019)
Journal Article
Lawson, A. L., Opie, R. R., Stevens, K. B., Knowles, E. J., & Mair, T. S. (2019). Application of an equine composite pain scale and its association with plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone concentrations and serum cortisol concentrations in horses with colic. Equine Veterinary Education, https://doi.org/10.1111/eve.13143

This study assessed the application of a modified equine composite pain scale (CPS) and identified the inter‐observer reliability. Associations between CPS scores and the measured concentrations of serum cortisol ([cortisol]) and plasma adrenocortico...

Pegbovigrastim treatment in vivo does not affect granulocyte ability to migrate to endometrial cells and kill bacteria in vitro in healthy cows (2019)
Journal Article
Tombacz, K., Peters, L. M., Chang, Y. M., Steele, M., Werling, D., & Gibson, A. J. (2019). Pegbovigrastim treatment in vivo does not affect granulocyte ability to migrate to endometrial cells and kill bacteria in vitro in healthy cows. Journal of Dairy Science, 102(10), 9389-9395. https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2019-16563

In periparturient dairy cows, immune suppression, resulting in decreased neutrophil numbers and function, leads to increased susceptibility to postpartum conditions such as mastitis, retained placenta, and metritis. Administration of polyethylene gly... Read More about Pegbovigrastim treatment in vivo does not affect granulocyte ability to migrate to endometrial cells and kill bacteria in vitro in healthy cows.

The specificity of phage testing for MAP — where might it fit into the diagnostic armoury? (2019)
Journal Article
Swift, B. M. C., & Rees, C. E. D. (2019). The specificity of phage testing for MAP — where might it fit into the diagnostic armoury?. Livestock, 24(4), https://doi.org/10.12968/live.2019.24.4.176

The current individual tools available for the diagnosis of Johne's disease are far from suitable to tackle this endemic disease. Culture, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) tests, when used together can be...

Neurophysiological correlates of stereotypic behaviour in a model carnivore species (2019)
Journal Article
Diez-Leon, M., Kitchenham, L., Duprey, R., Bailey, C. D. C., Choleris, E., Lewis, M., & Mason, G. (2019). Neurophysiological correlates of stereotypic behaviour in a model carnivore species. Behavioural Brain Research, 373, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbr.2019.112056

Stereotypic behaviour (SB) is common in animals housed in farm, zoo or laboratory conditions, including captive Carnivora (e.g. wild ursids and felids). Neurobiological data on housing-induced SBs come from four species (macaques, two rodent species,...

Pregabalin for the treatment of syringomyelia-associated neuropathic pain in dogs: A randomised, placebo-controlled, double-masked clinical trial (2019)
Journal Article
Sanchis-Mora, S., Chang, Y. M., Abeyesinghe, S. M., Fisher, A., Upton, N., Volk, H. A., & Pelligand, L. (2019). Pregabalin for the treatment of syringomyelia-associated neuropathic pain in dogs: A randomised, placebo-controlled, double-masked clinical trial. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2019.06.006

Pregabalin is the first-line treatment for neuropathic pain (NeP) in humans. Dogs with Chiari-like malformation and syringomyelia (CM/SM) associated with NeP could benefit from pregabalin. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of pregaba...

Journal Article
Swaffield, M., Hedley, J., Stapleton, N., Priestnall, S. L., Suárez-Bonnet, A., & Baldrey, V. (2019). Bilateral capital physeal dysplasia in a ferret (Mustela putorius furo) treated with femoral head ostectomy. Journal of Exotic Pet Medicine, https://doi.org/10.1053/j.jepm.2019.05.003

A six-month-old male entire ferret presented for investigation of atraumatic bilateral pelvic limb lameness. Radiographic and subsequent histopathological assessment of the femoral heads following bilateral femoral head ostectomy was consistent with...

Canine Ependymoma: Diagnostic Criteria and Common Pitfalls (2019)
Journal Article
Miller, A. D., Koehler, J. W., Donovan, T. A., Stewart, J. E., Porter, B. F., Rissi, D. R., …Schulman, F. Y. (2019). Canine Ependymoma: Diagnostic Criteria and Common Pitfalls. Veterinary Pathology, 56(6), 860-867. https://doi.org/10.1177/0300985819859872

Reports of canine ependymoma are generally restricted to single case reports with tumor incidence estimated at 2% to 3% of primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors. While most commonly reported in the lateral ventricle, tumors can occur anywhere i... Read More about Canine Ependymoma: Diagnostic Criteria and Common Pitfalls.
