Psychological Correlates of Attitudes toward Pet Relinquishment and of Actual Pet Relinquishment: The Role of Pragmatism and Obligation (2019)
Journal Article
Jacobetty, R., Lopes, D., Fatjó, J., Bowen, J., & Rodrigues, D. L. (2019). Psychological Correlates of Attitudes toward Pet Relinquishment and of Actual Pet Relinquishment: The Role of Pragmatism and Obligation. Animals, 10(1), 63. https://doi.org/10.3390/ani10010063

Understanding pet relinquishment is essential to inform interventions and assess their impact. In a cross-sectional study, we explored how attitudes of lack of obligation and pragmatism toward pet relinquishment correlated with, and differed accordin...

In Vivo Magic Angle Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Cell Tracking in Equine Low-Field MRI (2019)
Journal Article
Horstmeier, C., Ahrberg, A. B., Berner, D., Burk, J., Gittel, C., Hillmann, A., …Brehm, W. (2019). In Vivo Magic Angle Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Cell Tracking in Equine Low-Field MRI. Stem Cells International, https://doi.org/10.1155/2019/5670106

The magic angle effect increases the MRI signal of healthy tendon tissue and could be used for more detailed evaluation of tendon structure. Furthermore, it could support the discrimination of hypointense artefacts induced by contrast agents such as...

Association between hyponatremia and neurological dysfunction in hospitalized foals (2019)
Journal Article
Dunkel, B., Dodson, F., Chang, Y. M., & Slovis, N. M. (2019). Association between hyponatremia and neurological dysfunction in hospitalized foals. Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care, 30(1), 66-73. https://doi.org/10.1111/vec.12906

Hyponatremia and rapid correction of hyponatremia can lead to neurological abnormalities. The objective of the study was to determine whether plasma sodium concentrations (Na+) and speed of correction of hyponatremia are significantly associated with...

Antimicrobial susceptibility and genetic profile of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae isolates from Brazil (2019)
Journal Article
Gonzaga, N. F., De Souza, L. F. L., Santos, M. R., Assao, V. S., Rycroft, A. N., Deeney, A. S., …Silva-Júnior, A. (2019). Antimicrobial susceptibility and genetic profile of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae isolates from Brazil. https://doi.org/10.1007/s42770-019-00185-0

Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is the etiologic agent of porcine enzootic pneumonia, responsible for major production losses worldwide. The bacteria have a limited metabolism and need to obtain molecules from the growth environment, which causes multiple d...

Feasibility of kilohertz frequency alternating current neuromodulation of carotid sinus nerve activity in the pig (2019)
Journal Article
Fjordbakk, C. T., Miranda, J. A., Sokal, D., Donegà, M., Viscasillas, J., Stathopoulou, T., …Perkins, J. D. M. (2019). Feasibility of kilohertz frequency alternating current neuromodulation of carotid sinus nerve activity in the pig. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-53566-8

Recent research supports that over-activation of the carotid body plays a key role in metabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes. Supressing carotid body signalling through carotid sinus nerve (CSN) modulation may offer a therapeutic approach for treati...
