Emerging and Adjunctive Therapies for Spinal Cord Injury Following Acute Canine Intervertebral Disc Herniation (2020)
Journal Article
Lewis, M. J., Granger, N., Jeffery, N. D., & The Canine Spinal Cord Injury Consortium (CANSORT-SCI). (2020). Emerging and Adjunctive Therapies for Spinal Cord Injury Following Acute Canine Intervertebral Disc Herniation. Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 7, 579933

Some dogs do not make a full recovery following medical or surgical management of acute canine intervertebral disc herniation (IVDH), highlighting the limits of currently available treatment options. The multitude of difficulties in treating severe s... Read More about Emerging and Adjunctive Therapies for Spinal Cord Injury Following Acute Canine Intervertebral Disc Herniation.

Risk indictors in cats with preclinical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a prospective cohort study (2020)
Journal Article

This was a prospective cohort study following a population of cats with preclinical HCM. Cats serially underw... Read More about Risk indictors in cats with preclinical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a prospective cohort study.

Veterinary student competence in equine lameness recognition and assessment: a mixed methods study (2017)
Journal Article
Starke, S. D., & May, S. A. (2017). Veterinary student competence in equine lameness recognition and assessment: a mixed methods study. Veterinary Record, 181(168), https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.104245

The development of perceptual skills is an important aspect of veterinary education. The authors investigated veterinary student competency in lameness evaluation at two stages, before (third year) and during (fourth/fifth year) clinical rotations. S...

The Big Pet Diabetes Survey: Perceived Frequency and Triggers for Euthanasia (2017)
Journal Article
Niessen, S. J. M., Hazuchova, K., Powney, S. L., Guitian, J., Niessen, A. P. M., Pion, P. D., …Church, D. B. (2017). The Big Pet Diabetes Survey: Perceived Frequency and Triggers for Euthanasia. Veterinary Sciences, 4(2), 27. https://doi.org/10.3390/vetsci4020027

Current pet diabetes mellitus (DM) treatment necessitates the active daily involvement of owners and can be costly. The current study aimed to investigate the owner population which opts for euthanasia instead of DM treatment. A survey was designed u...

Understanding hind limb lameness signs in horses using simple rigid body mechanics (2015)
Journal Article
Starke, S. D., May, S. A., & Pfau, T. (2015). Understanding hind limb lameness signs in horses using simple rigid body mechanics. Journal of Biomechanics, 48(12), 3323-3331. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2015.06.019

Hind limb lameness detection in horses relies on the identification of movement asymmetry which can be based on multiple pelvic landmarks. This study explains the poorly understood relationship between hind limb lameness pointers, related to the tube...

Walk-run classification of symmetrical gaits in the horse: a multidimensional approach
Journal Article
Starke, S. D., Robilliard, J. J., Weller, R., Wilson, A. M., & Pfau, T. Walk-run classification of symmetrical gaits in the horse: a multidimensional approach. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2008.0238

Walking and running are two mechanisms for minimizing energy expenditure during terrestrial locomotion. Duty factor, dimensionless speed, existence of an aerial phase, percentage recovery (PR) or phase shift of mechanical energy and shape of the vert...
