Hypercoagulability progresses to hypocoagulability during evolution of acetaminophen-induced acute liver injury in pigs (2017)
Journal Article
Lee, K. C. L., Baker, L., Mallett, S., Riddell, A., Chowdary, P., Alibhai, H. I. K., …Agarwal, B. (2017). Hypercoagulability progresses to hypocoagulability during evolution of acetaminophen-induced acute liver injury in pigs. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-09508-3

Increases in prothrombin time (PT) and international normalised ratio (INR) characterise acute liver injury (ALI) and failure (ALF), yet a wide heterogeneity in clotting abnormalities exists. This study defines evolution of coagulopathy in 10 pigs wi... Read More about Hypercoagulability progresses to hypocoagulability during evolution of acetaminophen-induced acute liver injury in pigs.

Sialylated glycosylphosphatidylinositols suppress the production of toxic amyloid-ß oligomers (2017)
Journal Article
Nolan, W., McHale-Owen, H., & Bate, C. (2017). Sialylated glycosylphosphatidylinositols suppress the production of toxic amyloid-ß oligomers. Biochemical Journal, 474(17), 3045-3058. https://doi.org/10.1042/BCJ20170239

The production of amyloid-β (Aβ) is a key factor driving pathogenesis in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Increasing concentrations of soluble Aβ oligomers within the brain lead to synapse degeneration and the progressive dementia characteristic of AD. Sinc...

Comparison of veterinary drugs and veterinary homeopathy: part 2 (2017)
Journal Article
Lees, P., Chambers, D., Pelligand, L., Toutain, P. L., Whiting, M., & Whitehead, M. L. (2017). Comparison of veterinary drugs and veterinary homeopathy: part 2. Veterinary Record, 181, 198-207. https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.104279

Part 2 of this narrative review outlines the theoretical and practical bases for assessing the efficacy and effectiveness of conventional medicines and homeopathic products. Known and postulated mechanisms of action are critically reviewed. The evide... Read More about Comparison of veterinary drugs and veterinary homeopathy: part 2.

Comparison of veterinary drugs and veterinary homeopathy: part 1 (2017)
Journal Article
Lees, P., Chambers, D., Pelligand, L., Toutain, P. L., Whiting, M., & Whitehead, M. L. (2017). Comparison of veterinary drugs and veterinary homeopathy: part 1. Veterinary Record, 181(7), 170-176. https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.104278

For many years after its invention around 1796, homeopathy was widely used in people and later in animals. Over the intervening period (1796-2016) pharmacology emerged as a science from Materia Medica (medicinal materials) to become the mainstay of v...

Staphylococcus aureus infection is a common cause of mastitis, reducing milk yield, affecting animal welfare and causing huge economic losses within the dairy industry. In addition to the problem of acquired drug resistance, bacterial invasion into u...
