Multiple acquired portosystemic shunts in a cat secondary to chronic diaphragmatic rupture (2015)
Journal Article
Barfield, D. M., Gibson, A. D., & Lipscomb, V. J. (2015). Multiple acquired portosystemic shunts in a cat secondary to chronic diaphragmatic rupture. Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery Open Reports, 1(2), 1. https://doi.org/10.1177/2055116915585020

A cat with a chronic diaphragmatic rupture presented with neurological signs, including twitching and focal seizures. Blood ammonia level was markedly elevated and therefore neurological signs were thought to be related to hepatic encephalopathy. Exp...

A three-dimensional model of primary bovine endometrium using an electrospun scaffold (2015)
Journal Article
MacKintosh, S. B., Serino, L. P., Iddon, P. D., Brown, R., Conlan, R. S., Wright, C. J., …Sheldon, I. M. (2015). A three-dimensional model of primary bovine endometrium using an electrospun scaffold. Biofabrication, 7(2), 025010-025010. https://doi.org/10.1088/1758-5090/7/2/025010

Endometrial stromal and epithelial cell function is typically studied in vitro using standard two-dimensional monocultures, but these cultures fail to reflect the complex three-dimensional (3D) architecture of tissue. A 3D model of bovine endometrium... Read More about A three-dimensional model of primary bovine endometrium using an electrospun scaffold.

Circulating microRNAs Reveal Time Course of Organ Injury in a Porcine Model of Acetaminophen-Induced Acute Liver Failure (2015)
Journal Article
Baker, L. A., Lee, K. C. L., Jimenez, C. P., Alibhai, H. I. K., Chang, Y. M., Leckie, P. J., …Jalan, R. (2015). Circulating microRNAs Reveal Time Course of Organ Injury in a Porcine Model of Acetaminophen-Induced Acute Liver Failure. PLoS ONE, 10(5), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0128076

Acute liver failure is a rare but catastrophic condition which can progress rapidly to multi-organ failure. Studies investigating the onset of individual organ injury such as the liver, kidneys and brain during the evolution of acute liver failure, a...

Impact of Facial Conformation on Canine Health: Corneal Ulceration (2015)
Journal Article
Packer, R. M. A., Hendricks, A., & Burn, C. C. (2015). Impact of Facial Conformation on Canine Health: Corneal Ulceration. PLoS ONE, 10(5), e0123827. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0123827

Concern has arisen in recent years that selection for extreme facial morphology in the domestic dog may be leading to an increased frequency of eye disorders. Corneal ulcers are a common and painful eye problem in domestic dogs that can lead to scarr... Read More about Impact of Facial Conformation on Canine Health: Corneal Ulceration.

Continuing professional development: learning that leads to change in individual and collective clinical practice (2015)
Journal Article
May, S. A., & Kinnison, T. (2015). Continuing professional development: learning that leads to change in individual and collective clinical practice. Veterinary Record, 177(1), 13-13. https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.103109

The lack of effectiveness of traditional models of continuing professional development is increasingly recognised. While they can lead to increased knowledge of participants, research suggests that there is a general failure to produce meaningful and...

PinR mediates the generation of reversible population diversity in Streptococcus zooepidemicus (2015)
Journal Article
Steward, K. F., Harrison, T., Robinson, C., Slater, J. D., Maskell, D. J., Harris, S. R., …Waller, A. S. (2015). PinR mediates the generation of reversible population diversity in Streptococcus zooepidemicus. Microbiology, 161, 1105-1112. https://doi.org/10.1099/mic.0.000057

Opportunistic pathogens must adapt to and survive in a wide range of complex ecosystems. Streptococcus zooepidemicus is an opportunistic pathogen of horses and many other animals, including humans. The assembly of different surface architecture pheno... Read More about PinR mediates the generation of reversible population diversity in Streptococcus zooepidemicus.

Feline Chronic Kidney Disease Is Associated with Upregulation of Transglutaminase 2: A Collagen Cross-Linking Enzyme (2015)
Journal Article
Sanchez-Lara, A. C., Elliott, J., Syme, H. M., Brown, C. A., & Haylor, J. L. (2015). Feline Chronic Kidney Disease Is Associated with Upregulation of Transglutaminase 2: A Collagen Cross-Linking Enzyme. Veterinary Pathology, 52(3), 513-523. https://doi.org/10.1177/0300985814542811

Chronic kidney disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in cats. Transglutaminase 2 (TG2) is a calcium-dependent enzyme proposed to mediate tubulointerstitial fibrosis in the kidney by cross-linking collagen fibrils. Postmortem kidney tiss...
