The Use of Reusable Learning Objects to Enhance the Delivery of Veterinary Education: A Literature Review (2017)
Journal Article
Chapman-Waterhouse, E., Silva-Fletcher, A. T., & Whittlestone, K. D. (2017). The Use of Reusable Learning Objects to Enhance the Delivery of Veterinary Education: A Literature Review. https://doi.org/10.4018/IJMBL.2017070103

The increased demand from learners in higher education to access resources flexibly has resulted in considerable development in the use of Reusable Learning Objects (RLO) via a blended learning format across the sector. This critical review sets out... Read More about The Use of Reusable Learning Objects to Enhance the Delivery of Veterinary Education: A Literature Review.

MRI and clinical resolution of a suspected intracranial toxoplasma granuloma with medical treatment in a domestic short hair cat (2017)
Journal Article
Crawford, A. H., Drees, R., & Beltran, E. (2017). MRI and clinical resolution of a suspected intracranial toxoplasma granuloma with medical treatment in a domestic short hair cat. https://doi.org/10.1136/vetreccr-2017-000480

A two-year-old cat was presented with a left paradoxical vestibular syndrome. MRI of the brain revealed an extra-axial homogenously contrast enhancing mass in the region of the left caudal cerebellar peduncle. Toxoplasma serology was consistent with...

Developing teaching to improve the wellbeing of future vets (2017)
Journal Article
Armitage-Chan, E. (2017). Developing teaching to improve the wellbeing of future vets. Veterinary Record, 181(1), https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.j3109

Some people are under the impression that developing the educational experience of students at the Royal Veterinary College doesn't make you a ‘real vet’. Here, Elizabeth Armitage-Chan explains how her role helps future vets gain in confidence and co... Read More about Developing teaching to improve the wellbeing of future vets.

Phenotypic heterogeneity of peripheral monocytes in healthy dogs (2017)
Journal Article
Gibbons, N., Goulart, M. R., Chang, Y. M., Efstathiou, K., Purcell, R., Wu, Y., …Garden, O. A. (2017). Phenotypic heterogeneity of peripheral monocytes in healthy dogs. Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 190, 26-30. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vetimm.2017.06.007

Monocytes are key cells of the innate immune system. Their phenotypic and functional roles have been investigated in humans, mice and other animals, such as the rat, pig and cow. To date, detailed phenotypic analysis of monocytes has not been underta... Read More about Phenotypic heterogeneity of peripheral monocytes in healthy dogs.

A role for TSPO in mitochondrial Ca2+ homeostasis and redox stress signaling (2017)
Journal Article
Gatliff, J., East, D. A., Singh, A., Alvarez, M. S., Frison, M., Matic, I., …Campanella, M. (2017). A role for TSPO in mitochondrial Ca2+ homeostasis and redox stress signaling. https://doi.org/10.1038/cddis.2017.186

The 18 kDa translocator protein TSPO localizes on the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM). Systematically overexpressed at sites of neuroinflammation it is adopted as a biomarker of brain conditions. TSPO inhibits the autophagic removal of mitochondri... Read More about A role for TSPO in mitochondrial Ca2+ homeostasis and redox stress signaling.

Morphology and the gradient of a symmetric potential predicts gait transitions of dogs (2017)
Journal Article
Wilshin, S. D., Haynes, G. C., Porteous, J., Koditschek, D., Revzen, S., & Spence, A. J. (2017). Morphology and the gradient of a symmetric potential predicts gait transitions of dogs. Biological Cybernetics, 111(3-4), 269-277. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00422-017-0721-2

Gaits and gait transitions play a central role in the movement of animals. Symmetry is thought to govern the structure of the nervous system, and constrain the limb motions of quadrupeds. We quantify the symmetry of dog gaits with respect to combinat... Read More about Morphology and the gradient of a symmetric potential predicts gait transitions of dogs.

Variants in the 3'UTR of the ovine Acetyl-Coenzyme A Acyltransferase 2 gene are associated with dairy traits and exhibit differential allelic expression (2017)
Journal Article
Miltiadou, D., Hager-Theodorides, A., Symeou, S., Constantinou, C., Psifidi, A., Banos, G., & Tzamaloukas, O. (2017). Variants in the 3'UTR of the ovine Acetyl-Coenzyme A Acyltransferase 2 gene are associated with dairy traits and exhibit differential allelic expression. Journal of Dairy Science, 100(8), 6285-6297. https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2016-12326

The acetyl-CoA acyltransferase 2 (ACAA2) gene encodes an enzyme of the thiolase family that is involved in mitochondrial fatty acid elongation and degradation by catalyzing the last step of the respective β-oxidation pathway. The increased energy nee... Read More about Variants in the 3'UTR of the ovine Acetyl-Coenzyme A Acyltransferase 2 gene are associated with dairy traits and exhibit differential allelic expression.

Combination of magnesium sulphate and ropivacaine epidural analgesia for hip arthroplasty in dogs (2017)
Journal Article
Lardonea, E., Peironea, B., & Adami, C. (2017). Combination of magnesium sulphate and ropivacaine epidural analgesia for hip arthroplasty in dogs. Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia, 44(5), 1227-1235. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vaa.2016.11.016

The aim of this study was to determine whether lumbosacral epidural administration of magnesium sulphate added to ropivacaine prolongs and improves perioperative analgesia, without adverse effects on motor block duration or hind limb neurologica...
