Effects of cyclic equibiaxial mechanical stretch on α-BK and TRPV4 expression in equine chondrocytes (2014)
Journal Article
Hdud, I. M., Mobasheri, A., & Loughna, P. (2014). Effects of cyclic equibiaxial mechanical stretch on α-BK and TRPV4 expression in equine chondrocytes. SpringerPlus, 3, Article 59. https://doi.org/10.1186/2193-1801-3-59

Background

Chondrocytes are regularly exposed to load-induced stimuli and have the capability to sense and respond to applied mechanical stress. However, the mechanisms involved in chondrocyte mechanotransduction are not clearly understood. The pu...

Acinar cell carcinoma of exocrine pancreas in two horses (2014)
Journal Article
de Brot, S., Junge, H., & Hilbe, M. (2014). Acinar cell carcinoma of exocrine pancreas in two horses. Journal of Comparative Pathology, 150(4), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcpa.2014.01.003

Two horses were presented with non-specific clinical signs of several weeks' duration and were humanely destroyed due to a poor prognosis. At necropsy examination, both horses had multiple small, white nodules replacing pancreatic tissue and involvin... Read More about Acinar cell carcinoma of exocrine pancreas in two horses.

Development of a surveillance scheme for equine influenza in the UK and characterisation of viruses isolated in Europe, Dubai and the USA from 2010-2012 (2014)
Journal Article
Woodward, A. L., Rash, A. S., Blinman, D., Bowman, S., Chambers, T. M., Daly, J. M., …Elton, D. M. (2014). Development of a surveillance scheme for equine influenza in the UK and characterisation of viruses isolated in Europe, Dubai and the USA from 2010-2012. Veterinary Microbiology, 169(3-4), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vetmic.2013.11.039

Equine influenza viruses are a major cause of respiratory disease in horses worldwide and undergo antigenic drift. Several outbreaks of equine influenza occurred worldwide during 2010-2012, including in vaccinated animals, highlighting the importance...

Computed tomography analysis of guinea pig bone: architecture, bone thickness and dimensions throughout development. (2014)
Journal Article
Witkowska, A., Alibhai, A., Hughes, C., Price, J., Klisch, K., Sturrock, C., & Rutland, C. S. (2014). Computed tomography analysis of guinea pig bone: architecture, bone thickness and dimensions throughout development. PeerJ, 2, Article e615. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.615

The domestic guinea pig, Cavia aperea f. porcellus, belongs to the Caviidae family of rodents. It is an important species as a pet, a source of food and in medical research. Adult weight is achieved at 8-12 months and life expectancy is ∼5-6 years. O...

The impact of cafeteria feeding during lactation in the rat on novel object discrimination in the offspring (2014)
Journal Article
Wright, T., King, M., Davey, W., Langley-Evans, S. . C., & Voigt, J.-P. (2014). The impact of cafeteria feeding during lactation in the rat on novel object discrimination in the offspring. British Journal of Nutrition, 112, https://doi.org/10.1017/S0007114514003134

There is increasing evidence that hyperenergetic diets impact on memory in rodents. However, it is largely unknown how diets, such as a cafeteria diet (CD), that mimic a Western diet act on learning and memory, in particular when fed during early sta...

Bayesian evaluation of budgets for endemic disease control: an example using management changes to reduce milksomatic cell count early in the first lactation of Irish dairy cows (2014)
Journal Article
Archer, S. C., Mc Coy, F., Wapenaar, W., & Green, M. J. (2014). Bayesian evaluation of budgets for endemic disease control: an example using management changes to reduce milksomatic cell count early in the first lactation of Irish dairy cows. Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 113(1), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prevetmed.2013.10.011

The aim of this research was to determine budgets for specific management interventions to control heifer mastitis in Irish dairy herds as an example of evidence synthesis and 1-step Bayesian micro-simulation in a veterinary context. Budgets were det...

Association between somatic cell count during the first lactation and the cumulative milk yield of cows in Irish dairy herds (2014)
Journal Article
Archer, S. C., Mc Coy, F., Wapenaar, W., & Green, M. J. (2014). Association between somatic cell count during the first lactation and the cumulative milk yield of cows in Irish dairy herds. Journal of Dairy Science, 97(4), https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2013-7158

Reduced potential milk yield is an important component of mastitis costs in dairy cows. The first aim of this study was to assess associations between somatic cell count (SCC) during the first lactation, and cumulative milk yield over the first lacta...

Survey of the UK veterinary profession: common species and conditions nominated by veterinarians in practice (2014)
Journal Article
Nielsen, T., Dean, R. S., Robinson, N., Massey, A., & Brennan, M. L. (in press). Survey of the UK veterinary profession: common species and conditions nominated by veterinarians in practice. Veterinary Record, 174(13), https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.101745

The practice of evidence-based veterinary medicine involves the utilisation of scientific evidence for clinical decision making. To enable this, research topics pertinent to clinical practice need to be identified, and veterinary clinicians are best...
