Distribution of proteins within different compartments of tendon varies according to tendon type (2016)
Journal Article
Thorpe, C. T., Karunaseelan, K. J., Ng Chieng Hin, J., Riley, G. P., Birch, H. L., Clegg, P. D., & Screen, H. R. (2016). Distribution of proteins within different compartments of tendon varies according to tendon type. Journal of Anatomy, 229(3), 450-8. https://doi.org/10.1111/joa.12485

Although the predominant function of all tendons is to transfer force from muscle to bone and position the limbs, some tendons additionally function as energy stores, reducing the energetic cost of locomotion. To maximise energy storage and return, e... Read More about Distribution of proteins within different compartments of tendon varies according to tendon type.

A Possible Case of Neurogenic Pulmonary Edema in a Sheep following Intracranial Surgery (2016)
Journal Article
Casoni, D., Giovannini, A. E. J., Precht, C. M., & Adami, C. (2016). A Possible Case of Neurogenic Pulmonary Edema in a Sheep following Intracranial Surgery. https://doi.org/10.16966/2470-9956.110

A 3-year-old female crossbred sheep weighing 64 kg was anaesthetized for intracranial surgery as a part of a research project. Premedication and induction of anesthesia were uneventful as well as tracheal intubation. Anesthesia was maintained with is...

The global antigenic diversity of swine influenza A viruses (2016)
Journal Article
Lewis, N. S., Russell, C. A., Langat, P., Anderson, T. K., Berger, K., Bielejec, F., …Vincent, A. L. (2016). The global antigenic diversity of swine influenza A viruses. eLife, 5, e12217. https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.12217

wine influenza presents a substantial disease burden for pig populations worldwide and poses a potential pandemic threat to humans. There is considerable diversity in both H1 and H3 influenza viruses circulating in swine due to the frequent introduct... Read More about The global antigenic diversity of swine influenza A viruses.

Assessment of the effectiveness of head only and back-of-the-head electrical stunning of chickens (2016)
Journal Article

The study assesses the effectiveness of reversible head-only and back-of-the-head electrical stunning of chickens using 130–950 mA per bird at 50 Hz AC.

Assessing nursing skills in the clinical environment (2016)
Journal Article
Williams, S. (2016). Assessing nursing skills in the clinical environment. Veterinary Nursing Journal, 31(5), 154-157. https://doi.org/10.1080/17415349.2016.1155428

Assessment is essential to encourage learning and ensure that students are achieving a minimum standard (May & Head, 2010). There are two types of assessment, formative and summative; both will be discussed with regard to assessing practical skills.... Read More about Assessing nursing skills in the clinical environment.

The scaling of postcranial muscles in cats (Felidae) I: forelimb, cervical, and thoracic muscles (2016)
Journal Article
Cuff, A. R., Sparkes, E. L., Randau, M., Pierce, S. E., Kitchener, A. C., Goswami, A., & Hutchinson, J. R. (2016). The scaling of postcranial muscles in cats (Felidae) I: forelimb, cervical, and thoracic muscles. Journal of Anatomy, 229(1), 128-141. https://doi.org/10.1111/joa.12477

The body masses of cats (Mammalia, Carnivora, Felidae) span a ~300‐fold range from the smallest to largest species. Despite this range, felid musculoskeletal anatomy remains remarkably conservative, including the maintenance of a crouched limb postur...

Developmental Origin of Oligodendrocyte Lineage Cells Determines Response to Demyelination and Susceptibility to Age-Associated Functional Decline (2016)
Journal Article
Crawford, A. H., Tripathi, R. B., Richardson, W. D., & Franklin, R. J. M. (2016). Developmental Origin of Oligodendrocyte Lineage Cells Determines Response to Demyelination and Susceptibility to Age-Associated Functional Decline. Cell Reports, 15(4), 761-773. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.celrep.2016.03.069

Oligodendrocyte progenitors (OPs) arise from distinct ventral and dorsal domains within the ventricular germinal zones of the embryonic CNS. The functional significance, if any, of these different populations is not known. Using dual-color reporter m...

Linking bone development on the caudal aspect of the distal phalanx with lameness during life (2016)
Journal Article
Newsome, R., Green, M. J., Bell, N. J., Chagunda, C. S., Mason, C. S., Rutland, C. S., …Huxley, J. N. (2016). Linking bone development on the caudal aspect of the distal phalanx with lameness during life. Journal of Dairy Science, 99(6), 4512-4525. https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2015-10202

Claw horn disruption lesions (CHDL; sole hemorrhage, sole ulcer, and white line disease) cause a large proportion of lameness in dairy cattle, yet their etiopathogenesis remains poorly understood. Untreated CHDL may be associated with damage to the i... Read More about Linking bone development on the caudal aspect of the distal phalanx with lameness during life.

Effect of short-term probiotic Enterococcus faecium SF68 dietary supplementation in overweight and obese cats without comorbidities (2016)
Journal Article
