Inferring muscle functional roles of the ostrich pelvic limb during walking and running using computer optimization (2016)
Journal Article
Rankin, J. W., Rubenson, J., & Hutchinson, J. R. (2016). Inferring muscle functional roles of the ostrich pelvic limb during walking and running using computer optimization. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2016.0035

Owing to their cursorial background, ostriches (Struthio camelus) walk and run with high metabolic economy, can reach very fast running speeds and quickly execute cutting manoeuvres. These capabilities are believed to be a result of their ability to...

Ante mortem diagnosis of canine meningoencephalitis is usually based on the results of neurologic examination, cerebrospinal fluid analysis and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. It has been hypothesized that subtraction MR imaging may increase the sen...

Technical innovation changes standard radiographic protocols in veterinary medicine: is it necessary to obtain two dorsoproximal-palmarodistal oblique views of the equine foot when using computerised radiography systems? (2016)
Journal Article
Whitlock, J., Dixon, J., Sherlock, C., Tucker, R., Bolt, D. M., & Weller, R. (2016). Technical innovation changes standard radiographic protocols in veterinary medicine: is it necessary to obtain two dorsoproximal-palmarodistal oblique views of the equine foot when using computerised radiography systems?. Veterinary Record, 178(21), https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.103396

Since the 1950s, veterinary practitioners have included two separate dorsoproximal–palmarodistal oblique (DPr–PaDiO) radiographs as part of a standard series of the equine foot. One image is obtained to visualise the distal phalanx and the other to v...

Distribution of proteins within different compartments of tendon varies according to tendon type (2016)
Journal Article
Thorpe, C. T., Karunaseelan, K. J., Ng Chieng Hin, J., Riley, G. P., Birch, H. L., Clegg, P. D., & Screen, H. R. (2016). Distribution of proteins within different compartments of tendon varies according to tendon type. Journal of Anatomy, 229(3), 450-8. https://doi.org/10.1111/joa.12485

Although the predominant function of all tendons is to transfer force from muscle to bone and position the limbs, some tendons additionally function as energy stores, reducing the energetic cost of locomotion. To maximise energy storage and return, e... Read More about Distribution of proteins within different compartments of tendon varies according to tendon type.
