C7 vertebra homeotic transformation in domestic dogs – are Pug dogs breaking mammalian evolutionary constraints? (2018)
Journal Article
Brocal, J., De Decker, S., José-López, R., Manzanilla, E. G., Penderis, J., Stalin, C., …Gutierrez-Quintana, R. (2018). C7 vertebra homeotic transformation in domestic dogs – are Pug dogs breaking mammalian evolutionary constraints?. Journal of Anatomy, https://doi.org/10.1111/joa.12822

The number of cervical vertebrae in mammals is almost constant at seven, regardless of their neck length, implying that there is selection against variation in this number. Homebox (Hox) genes are involved in this evolutionary mammalian conservation,...

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) has a variable prognosis; left atrial size, presence of clinical signs and left ventricular systolic function have been shown to predict outcomes. Mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE) and tricuspid annular...

The use of external fixators allows for the direct investigation of newly formed interfragmentary bone, and the radiographic evaluation of the fracture. We validated the results of a finite element model with the in vitro stiffness' of two widely use... Read More about Biomechanics of Two External Fixator Devices Used in Rat Femoral Fractures.

Approach to canine paroxysmal dyskinesias (2018)

The term ‘paroxysmal dyskinesia’ (PD) describes a manifestation of involuntary movement or muscle tone, which by definition is episodic in nature and self-limiting. The PDs remain poorly understood and frequently under-recognised conditions in vete... Read More about Approach to canine paroxysmal dyskinesias.

Preliminary assessment of cognitive impairments in canine idiopathic epilepsy (2018)
Journal Article
Winter, J., Packer, R. M. A., & Volk, H. A. (2018). Preliminary assessment of cognitive impairments in canine idiopathic epilepsy. Veterinary Record, https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.104603

In humans, epilepsy can induce or accelerate cognitive impairment (CI). There is emerging evidence of CI in dogs with idiopathic epilepsy (IE) from recent epidemiological studies. The aim of our study was to assess CI in dogs with IE using two tests... Read More about Preliminary assessment of cognitive impairments in canine idiopathic epilepsy.
