Genetic characterisation of the Connemara pony and the Warmblood horse using a within-breed clustering approach (2023)
Journal Article
Lindsay-McGee, V., Sanchez-Molano, E., Banos, G., Clark, E., Piercy, R., & Psifidi, A. (2023). Genetic characterisation of the Connemara pony and the Warmblood horse using a within-breed clustering approach. Genetics Selection Evolution, 55(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/s12711-023-00827-w

BackgroundThe Connemara pony (CP) is an Irish breed that has experienced varied selection by breeders over the last fifty years, with objectives ranging from the traditional hardy pony to an agile athlete. We compared these ponies with well-studied W... Read More about Genetic characterisation of the Connemara pony and the Warmblood horse using a within-breed clustering approach.

Endothelial AHR activity prevents lung barrier disruption in viral infection (2023)
Journal Article
Major, J., Crotta, S., Finsterbusch, K., Chakravarty, P., Shah, K., Frederico, B., …Wack, A. (2023). Endothelial AHR activity prevents lung barrier disruption in viral infection. Nature, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-023-06287-y

Disruption of the lung endothelial-epithelial cell barrier following respiratory virus infection causes cell and fluid accumulation in the air spaces and compromises vital gas exchange function(1). Endothelial dysfunction can exacerbate tissue damage... Read More about Endothelial AHR activity prevents lung barrier disruption in viral infection.

Macroevolutionary patterns in the pelvis, stylopodium and zeugopodium of megalosauroid theropod dinosaurs and their importance for locomotor function (2023)
Journal Article
Lacerda, M., Bittencourt, J., & Hutchinson, J. (2023). Macroevolutionary patterns in the pelvis, stylopodium and zeugopodium of megalosauroid theropod dinosaurs and their importance for locomotor function. Royal Society Open Science, 10(8), https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.230481

During the Mesozoic, non-avian theropods represented one of the most successful clades globally distributed, with a wide diversity of forms. An example is the clade Megalosauroidea, which included medium- to large-bodied forms. Here, we analyse the m...

A 4-year-old, male, entire Newfoundland was presented for investigation of an acute onset cervical ventroflexion and pyrexia, 4 days following a hip replacement surgery. Neurological examination confirmed prominent cervical ventroflexion characterise... Read More about Dropped-head syndrome in a dog secondary to myopathy of the cervical extensor muscles.

Diagnostic quality of ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspirates samples from the canine liver and spleen is not significantly affected by using 22-, 23-, and 25-gauge needles (2023)
Journal Article

Veterinary Radiology and Ultrasound, https://doi.org/10.1111/vru.13290

Ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspirates (FNA) of the liver and spleen for cytological analysis are a commonly performed procedure in canine veterinary practice. Based on our review of the literature, this is the first published study investigating wh...

Gestation Length is Associated With Early-Life Limb Deformities in Thoroughbred Foals (2023)
Journal Article
Mouncey, R., Arango-Sabogal, J., de Mestre, A., & Verheyen, K. (2023). Gestation Length is Associated With Early-Life Limb Deformities in Thoroughbred Foals. Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, 129, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jevs.2023.104896

Flexural and angular limb deformities (LD) are an important cause of early-life morbidity and mortality/euthanasia in Thoroughbred foals. The majority are congenital in origin but, to date, their precise aetiology is poorly understood. We hypothesize...
