Flight of the dragonflies and damselflies (2016)
Journal Article
Bomphrey, R. J., Nakata, T., Henningsson, P., & Lin, H. (2016). Flight of the dragonflies and damselflies. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 371(1704), 20150389. https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2015.0389

This work is a synthesis of our current understanding of the mechanics, aerodynamics and visually mediated control of dragonfly and damselfly flight, with the addition of new experimental and computational data in several key areas. These are: the di... Read More about Flight of the dragonflies and damselflies.

Assessing Professionalism: A theoretical framework for defining clinical rotation assessment criteria (2016)
Journal Article
Armitage-Chan, E. (2016). Assessing Professionalism: A theoretical framework for defining clinical rotation assessment criteria. Journal of Veterinary Medical Education, 43(4), 364-371. https://doi.org/10.3138/jvme.1215-194R

Although widely accepted as an important graduate competence, professionalism is a challenging outcome to define and assess. Clinical rotations provide an excellent opportunity to develop student professionalism through the use of experiential learni...

Ultrasound-Guided Femoral and Sciatic Nerve Blocks for Repair of Tibia and Fibula Fractures in a Bennett's Wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus) (2016)
Journal Article
Monticelli, P., Campoy, L., & Adami, C. (2016). Ultrasound-Guided Femoral and Sciatic Nerve Blocks for Repair of Tibia and Fibula Fractures in a Bennett's Wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus). Case Reports in Anesthesiology, 8909205. https://doi.org/10.1155/2016/8909205

Locoregional anesthetic techniques may be a very useful tool for the anesthetic management of wallabies with injuries of the pelvic limbs and may help to prevent capture myopathies resulting from stress and systemic opioids’ administration. This repo... Read More about Ultrasound-Guided Femoral and Sciatic Nerve Blocks for Repair of Tibia and Fibula Fractures in a Bennett's Wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus).

Olfactory variation in mouse husbandry and its implications for refinement and standardisation: UK survey of non-animal scents (2016)
Journal Article
Lopez-Salesansky, N., Mazlan, N. H., Whitfield, L. E., Wells, D. J., & Burn, C. C. (2016). Olfactory variation in mouse husbandry and its implications for refinement and standardisation: UK survey of non-animal scents. Laboratory Animals, 50(4), 286-295. https://doi.org/10.1177/0023677215614296

With their highly sensitive olfactory system, the behaviour and physiology of mice are not only influenced by the scents of conspecifics and other species, but also by many other chemicals in the environment. The constraints of laboratory housing lim... Read More about Olfactory variation in mouse husbandry and its implications for refinement and standardisation: UK survey of non-animal scents.

Cryptic Eimeria genotypes are common across the southern but not northern hemisphere (2016)
Journal Article
Clark, E. L., Macdonald, S. E., Thenmozhi, V., Kundu, K., Garg, R., Kumar, S., …Suo, X. (2016). Cryptic Eimeria genotypes are common across the southern but not northern hemisphere. International Journal for Parasitology, 46(9), 537-544. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpara.2016.05.006

The phylum Apicomplexa includes parasites of medical, zoonotic and veterinary significance. Understanding the global distribution and genetic diversity of these protozoa is of fundamental importance for efficient, robust and long-lasting methods of c...

Transgenic Rescue of the LARGEmyd Mouse: A LARGE Therapeutic Window? (2016)
Journal Article
Hildyard, J. C. W., Lacey, E., Booler, H., Hopkinson, M., Wells, D. J., & Brown, S. C. (2016). Transgenic Rescue of the LARGEmyd Mouse: A LARGE Therapeutic Window?. PLoS ONE, 11(7), e0159853. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0159853

LARGE is a glycosyltransferase involved in glycosylation of α-dystroglycan (α-DG). Absence of this protein in the LARGEmyd mouse results in α-DG hypoglycosylation, and is associated with central nervous system abnormalities and progressive muscular d...
