An exploratory study using a statistical approach as a platform for clinical reasoning in canine epilepsy
Journal Article
Armasu, M., Packer, R. M. A., Cook, S., Solcan, G., & Volk, H. A. (in press). An exploratory study using a statistical approach as a platform for clinical reasoning in canine epilepsy. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2014.08.008

Links between deficits identified on neurological examination, age of seizure onset and the presence of structural forebrain disease have often been postulated in dogs presenting with a history of seizures. The purpose of this study was to assess the... Read More about An exploratory study using a statistical approach as a platform for clinical reasoning in canine epilepsy.

Clinical Risk Factors Associated with Anti-Epileptic Drug Responsiveness in Canine Epilepsy
Journal Article
Packer, R. M. A., Shihab, N. K., Torres, B. B. J., & Volk, H. A. (in press). Clinical Risk Factors Associated with Anti-Epileptic Drug Responsiveness in Canine Epilepsy. PLoS ONE, 9(8), e106026. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0106026

The nature and occurrence of remission, and conversely, pharmacoresistance following epilepsy treatment is still not fully understood in human or veterinary medicine. As such, predicting which patients will have good or poor treatment outcomes is imp... Read More about Clinical Risk Factors Associated with Anti-Epileptic Drug Responsiveness in Canine Epilepsy.

Dorsal vertebral column abnormalities in dogs with disseminated idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH)
Journal Article
De Decker, S., & Volk, H. A. (in press). Dorsal vertebral column abnormalities in dogs with disseminated idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH). Veterinary Record, 174(25), https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.102492

Although disseminated idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) most often affects the ventral aspect of the vertebral column, this study evaluated the occurrence, nature and clinical relevance of dorsal vertebral column abnormalities in 10 dogs with D...

Lentiviral vector transduction of spermatozoa as a tool for the study of early development
Journal Article
Chandrashekran, A., Isa, I., Dudhia, J., Thrasher, A. J., Dibb, N., Casimir, C., …Winston, R. (in press). Lentiviral vector transduction of spermatozoa as a tool for the study of early development. FEBS Open Bio, 4, 266-275. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fob.2014.02.008

Spermatozoa and lentiviruses are two of nature's most efficient gene delivery vehicles. Both can be genetically modified and used independently for the generation of transgenic animals or gene transfer/therapy of inherited disorders. Here we show tha...

Husbandry risk factors associated with hock pododermatitis in UK pet rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus)
Journal Article
Mancinelli, E., Keeble, E., Richardson, J., & Hedley, J. (in press). Husbandry risk factors associated with hock pododermatitis in UK pet rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus). Veterinary Record, 174(17), 429. https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.101830

Pododermatitis, often called ‘sore hocks’, is a chronic, granulomatous, ulcerative dermatitis which most commonly affects the plantar aspect of the caudal metatarsal and tarsal areas. Pododermatitis is a common clinical finding in the pet rabbit popu... Read More about Husbandry risk factors associated with hock pododermatitis in UK pet rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus).

Magnetic resonance imaging characteristics in four dogs with central nervous system neosporosis
Journal Article
Parzefall, B., Driver, C. J., Benigni, L., & Davies, E. S. S. (in press). Magnetic resonance imaging characteristics in four dogs with central nervous system neosporosis. https://doi.org/10.1111/vru.12160

Neosporosis is a polysystemic disease that can affect dogs of any age and can cause inflammation of the central nervous system. Antemortem diagnosis can be challenging, as clinical and conventional laboratory test findings are often nonspecific. A pr...

Teacher Development: A Patchwork-Text Approach to Enhancing Critical Reflection in Veterinary and Para-Veterinary Educators
Journal Article
Silva-Fletcher, A. T., May, H., Magnier, K. M., & May, S. A. (2014). Teacher Development: A Patchwork-Text Approach to Enhancing Critical Reflection in Veterinary and Para-Veterinary Educators. Journal of Veterinary Medical Education, 41(2), 146-154. https://doi.org/10.3138/jvme.0813-110R

Reflection is an essential component of teacher-development programs, and reliable, valid methods to teach, assess, and evaluate reflection are critical. However, it is important that appropriate methods are created for and evaluated across multiple...
