Baillie, S., Crossan, A., Forrest, N. D., & May, S. A. Developing the 'Ouch-o-meter' to teach safe and effective use of pressure for palpation

Many clinical examinations involve palpation and part of the diagnostic process depends on the application of pressure. Teaching and learning such skills is difficult especially for internal examinations. A modification to a veterinary virtual realit...

Photodynamic Therapy of Superficial Nasal Planum Squamous Cell Carcinomas in Cats: 55 Cases
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bexfield, N. H., Stell, A. J., Gear, R. N., & Dobson, J. M. Photodynamic Therapy of Superficial Nasal Planum Squamous Cell Carcinomas in Cats: 55 Cases

Background: Squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) are common skin tumors in cats. We investigated photodynamic therapy (PDT) using the photosensitizing agent 5-aminolaevulinic acid (5-ALA) topically and a high-intensity red light source.

Oxidation of chylomicron remnants and vascular dysfunction
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Botham, K. M. Oxidation of chylomicron remnants and vascular dysfunction

Recent evidence suggests that chylomicron remnants (CMRs), the lipoproteins which carry dietary lipids in the blood, may play a direct role in the initiation of atherosclerosis by influencing vascular function. Unlike low-density lipoprotein (LDL), C... Read More about Oxidation of chylomicron remnants and vascular dysfunction.

Aspects of Heifer Rearing
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Brickell, J. S., McGowan, M. M., & Wathes, D. C. Aspects of Heifer Rearing

Minimal losses, optimal growth rates and excellent fertility management are key factors of a good dairy heifer rearing system. This study determined the mortality, growth and fertility of Holstein-Friesian heifers on 19 UK dairy farms, and examined t... Read More about Aspects of Heifer Rearing.
