Diagnosis of hyperthyroidism in cats with mild chronic kidney disease
Journal Article
Wakeling, J. M., Moore, K., Elliott, J., & Syme, H. M. Diagnosis of hyperthyroidism in cats with mild chronic kidney disease. Journal of Small Animal Practice, 49(6), 287-294. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1748-5827.2008.00544.x

OBJECTIVES: In cats with concurrent hyperthyroidism and non-thyroidal illnesses such as chronic kidney disease, total thyroxine concentrations are often within the laboratory reference range (19 to 55 nmol/l). The objective of the study was to determ... Read More about Diagnosis of hyperthyroidism in cats with mild chronic kidney disease.

Plasma asymmetric dimethylarginine, symmetric dimethylarginine, L-arginine, and nitrite/nitrate concentrations in cats with chronic kidney disease and hypertension
Journal Article
Jepson, R. E., Syme, H. M., Vallance, C., & Elliott, J. Plasma asymmetric dimethylarginine, symmetric dimethylarginine, L-arginine, and nitrite/nitrate concentrations in cats with chronic kidney disease and hypertension. Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 22(2), 317-324. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1939-1676.2008.0075.x

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hypertension have been associated with decreased bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO) and endothelial dysfunction. Increased concentrations of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) inhibitor asymmet...

Objective - To determine the effect of endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide [LPS]) on vasoactive mediator production by cultured equine digital vein endothelial cells (EDVECs). Sample Population - EDVECs obtained from forelimb digital veins of 7 healthy adu...

Roles of thromboxane A2 and 5-hydroxytryptamine in endotoxin-induced digital vasoconstriction in horses
Journal Article

Objective-To evaluate the roles of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), thromboxane A(2) (TxA(2) and platelet-activating factor (PAF) in endotoxin-induced digital hypoperfusion in horses. Animals-6 healthy adult Thoroughbreds. Procedures-Horses were treated w... Read More about Roles of thromboxane A2 and 5-hydroxytryptamine in endotoxin-induced digital vasoconstriction in horses.

Ropinirole eye drops induce vomiting effectively in dogs: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study
Journal Article
Suokko, M., Saloranta, L., Lamminen, T., Laine, T., & Elliott, J. (in press). Ropinirole eye drops induce vomiting effectively in dogs: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study. Veterinary Record, https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.104953

There is a need for an effective and safe emetic agent that dog owners could easily administer to their dogs following veterinary advice in cases of potential poisoning. As a response to this need, a randomised, double-blind, multi-site, clinical fie...

Incidence of and mortality from kidney disease in over 600,000 insured Swedish dogs
Journal Article
Pelander, L., Ljungvall, I., Egenvall, A., Syme, H. M., Elliott, J., & Haggstrom, J. (in press). Incidence of and mortality from kidney disease in over 600,000 insured Swedish dogs. Veterinary Record, 176(25), 656. https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.103059

Kidney disease is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in dogs. Knowledge about the epidemiology of kidney disease in the dog population is valuable and large-scale epidemiological studies are needed. The aim of the present study was to use...
