Diagnostic testing in first opinion small animal consultations (2014)
Journal Article
Robinson, N. J., Dean, R. S., Cobb, M., & Brennan, M. L. (2015). Diagnostic testing in first opinion small animal consultations. Veterinary Record, 176(7), 174-174. https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.102786

DIAGNOSTIC testing is a vital part of the decision-making process, which aims to increase diagnostic certainty, assist management and treatment decisions and provide a prognosis (Radostits and others 2000). A wide range of tests are available, with v... Read More about Diagnostic testing in first opinion small animal consultations.

Analysis of interaction between the apicomplexan protozoan Toxoplasma gondii and host cells using label-free Raman spectroscopy (2014)
Journal Article
Naemat, A., Elsheikha, H. M., Al-sandaqchib, A., Kong, K., Ghita, A., & Notingher, I. (2015). Analysis of interaction between the apicomplexan protozoan Toxoplasma gondii and host cells using label-free Raman spectroscopy. Analyst, 140(3), 756-764. https://doi.org/10.1039/c4an01810a

Label-free imaging using Raman micro-spectroscopy (RMS) was used to characterize the spatio-temporal molecular changes of T. gondii tachyzoites and their host cell microenvironment. Raman spectral maps were recorded from isolated T. gondii tachyzoite...

Adaptive Management and the Value of Information: Learning Via Intervention in Epidemiology (2014)
Journal Article
Shea, K., Tildesley, M. J., Runge, M. C., Fonnesbeck, C. J., & Ferrari, M. J. (2014). Adaptive Management and the Value of Information: Learning Via Intervention in Epidemiology. PLoS Biology, 12(10), Article e1001970. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.1001970

Optimal intervention for disease outbreaks is often impeded by severe scientific uncertainty. Adaptive management (AM), long-used in natural resource management, is a structured decision-making approach to solving dynamic problems that accounts for t...

Physics of nail conditions: why do ingrown nails always happen in the big toes? (2014)
Journal Article
Rauch, C., & Cherkaoui-Rbati, M. (2014). Physics of nail conditions: why do ingrown nails always happen in the big toes?. Physical Biology, 11(6), Article 066004. https://doi.org/10.1088/1478-3975/11/6/066004

Although surgical treatment of nail conditions can be traced back centuries to the writings of Paul Aegineta (625–690 AC), little is known about the physical laws governing nail growth. Such a poor understanding together with the increasing number of... Read More about Physics of nail conditions: why do ingrown nails always happen in the big toes?.

High basal expression of interferon-stimulated genes in human bronchial epithelial (BEAS-2B) cells contributes to influenza A virus resistance (2014)
Journal Article
Seng, L.-G., Daly, J. M., Chang, K.-C., & Kuchipudi, S. V. (2014). High basal expression of interferon-stimulated genes in human bronchial epithelial (BEAS-2B) cells contributes to influenza A virus resistance. PLoS ONE, 9, Article e109023. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0109023

Respiratory epithelial cells play a key role in influenza A virus (IAV) pathogenesis and host innate response. Transformed human respiratory cell lines are widely used in the study of IAV−host interactions due to their relative convenience, and inher...

Quantitative trait loci mapping for canine hip dysplasia and its related traits in UK Labrador Retriever (2014)
Journal Article

Background Canine hip dysplasia (CHD) is characterised by a malformation of the hip joint, leading to osteoarthritis and lameness. Current breeding schemes against CHD have resulted in measurable but moderate responses. The application of marker-ass...
