Ultrasonography of the prostate gland and testes in dogs (2016)
Journal Article
Barbosa de Souza, M., Silva, L. D. M. D., Moxon, R., Russo, M., & England, G. C. (2017). Ultrasonography of the prostate gland and testes in dogs. In Practice, 39(1), 21-32. https://doi.org/10.1136/inp.i6054

Ultrasonographic imaging is an important diagnostic tool because it allows assessment of the shape, size, position, margination and internal architecture of organs, as well as facilitating the study of vascular supply and vascularisation. Recently, t... Read More about Ultrasonography of the prostate gland and testes in dogs.

Concentrations of faecal glucocorticoid metabolites in Asian elephant's dung are stable for up to 8 h in a tropical environment (2016)
Journal Article
Wong, E. P., Yon, L., Purcell, R., Walker, S. L., Othman, N., Saaban, S., & Campos-Arceiz, A. (in press). Concentrations of faecal glucocorticoid metabolites in Asian elephant's dung are stable for up to 8 h in a tropical environment. Conservation Physiology, 4(1), https://doi.org/10.1093/conphys/cow070

The use of faecal glucocorticoid metabolites (fGCMs) has facilitated the development of non-invasive methods to study physiological conditions of endangered wildlife populations. One limitation is that fGCM concentrations are known to change over tim...

The Effects of Diet on Anatomy, Physiology and Health in the Guinea Pig (2016)
Journal Article
Witkowska, A., Price, J., Hughes, C., Smith, D., White, K., Alibhai, A., & Rutland, C. S. (2017). The Effects of Diet on Anatomy, Physiology and Health in the Guinea Pig. Journal of Animal Health and Behavioural Science, 1(1), 1-6

Given the increasing popularity of the guinea pig as a pet, it is perhaps surprising that relatively little is published as to their husbandry and dietary requirements. Indeed, a review of the literature currently available to owners, scientists and... Read More about The Effects of Diet on Anatomy, Physiology and Health in the Guinea Pig.

Multiple genetic associations with Irish wolfhound dilated cardiomyopathy (2016)
Journal Article
Simpson, S., Dunning, M. D., Brownlie, S., Patel, J., Godden, M., Cobb, M., Mongan, N. P., & Rutland, C. S. (2016). Multiple genetic associations with Irish wolfhound dilated cardiomyopathy. BioMed Research International, 2016(637408), https://doi.org/10.1155/2016/6374082

Cardiac disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in dogs and humans, with dilated cardiomyopathy being a large contributor to this. The Irish Wolfhound (IWH) is one of the most commonly affected breeds and one of the few breeds with gene...

Dual infection with bluetongue virus serotypes and first time detection of serotype 5 in India (2016)
Journal Article
Hemadri, D., Maan, S., Rao, P. N., Putty, K., Krishnajyothi, Y., Reddy, G. H., Kumar, V., Batra, K., Reddy, Y. V., Maan, N. S., Reddy, Y. N., Singh, K. P., Shivachandra, S. B., Hegde, N., Rahman, H., & Mertens, P. P. (2017). Dual infection with bluetongue virus serotypes and first time detection of serotype 5 in India. Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 64(6), 1912-1917. https://doi.org/10.1111/tbed.12589

Bluetongue is endemic in India and has been reported from most Indian states. Of late, the clinical disease is most frequently seen in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana (erstwhile Andhra Pradesh state), Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. Our analysis o...

Quadrilateral suspensory and straight sesamoidean ligament calcifying desmopathy in an Arabian mare (2016)
Journal Article
Hui, S., Turner, S., Leaman, T., de Brot, S., & Barakzai, S. (2016). Quadrilateral suspensory and straight sesamoidean ligament calcifying desmopathy in an Arabian mare. Equine Veterinary Education, 30(8), 419-423. https://doi.org/10.1111/eve.12705

A 5-year-old Arabian mare was referred for the investigation of recent behavioural change, generalised stiffness, and owner-reported polyuria and polydipsia. Clinical examination revealed severe pain associated with palpation along the entire length...

Simultaneous NMR characterisation of multiple minima in the free energy landscape of an RNA UUCG tetraloop (2016)
Journal Article
Borkar, A. N., Vallurupalli, P., Camilloni, C., Kay, L. E., & Vendruscolo, M. (2017). Simultaneous NMR characterisation of multiple minima in the free energy landscape of an RNA UUCG tetraloop. Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 19(4), 2797-2804. https://doi.org/10.1039/c6cp08313g

© the Owner Societies 2017. RNA molecules in solution tend to undergo structural fluctuations of relatively large amplitude and to populate a range of different conformations some of which with low populations. It is still very challenging, however,... Read More about Simultaneous NMR characterisation of multiple minima in the free energy landscape of an RNA UUCG tetraloop.

The optimisation of Pseudotyped viruses for the characterisation of immune responses to equine influenza virus (2016)
Journal Article
Scott, S. D., Kinsley, R., Temperton, N., & Daly, J. M. (2016). The optimisation of Pseudotyped viruses for the characterisation of immune responses to equine influenza virus. Pathogens, 5(4), Article 68. https://doi.org/10.3390/pathogens5040068

Pseudotyped viruses (PVs) produced by co-transfecting cells with plasmids expressing lentiviral core proteins and viral envelope proteins are potentially powerful tools for studying various aspects of equine influenza virus (EIV) biology. The aim of... Read More about The optimisation of Pseudotyped viruses for the characterisation of immune responses to equine influenza virus.

Development of a critical appraisal tool to assess the quality of cross-sectional studies (AXIS) (2016)
Journal Article
Downes, M. J., Brennan, M. L., Williams, H. C., & Dean, R. S. (2016). Development of a critical appraisal tool to assess the quality of cross-sectional studies (AXIS). BMJ Open, 6(12), Article e011458. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2016-011458

Objectives: The aim of this study was to develop a critical appraisal (CA) tool that addressed study design and reporting quality as well as the risk of bias in cross-sectional studies (CSSs). In addition, the aim was to produce a help document to gu... Read More about Development of a critical appraisal tool to assess the quality of cross-sectional studies (AXIS).
