Novel Insights Into the Architecture of Macro and Microstructures in Cattle Ossa Cordis (2024)
Journal Article

Ossa cordis, bones located within the heart trigones, are often classified as heterotopic or ectopic bones. Despite their high prevalence in cattle and some other bovids, little is known about their structure or development. Scanning electron microsc...

Anatomy, histology, development and functions of Ossa cordis: A review (2022)
Journal Article

This systematic review highlights the similarities and variations in Ossa cordis prevalence, histology and anatomical location between differing veterinary species and in humans. In addition, it also identifies associated factors such as aging and ca... Read More about Anatomy, histology, development and functions of Ossa cordis: A review.

Root angle is controlled by EGT1in cereal crops employing anantigravitropic mechanism (2022)
Journal Article

Root angle in crops represents a key trait for efficient capture of soil resources. Root angle is determined by competing gravitropic versus anti-gravitropic offset (AGO) mechanisms. Here we report a new root angle regulatory gene termed ENHANCED GRA... Read More about Root angle is controlled by EGT1in cereal crops employing anantigravitropic mechanism.

Discovery Of A Bone In Chimpanzee Hearts (2022)
Journal Article

The os cordis (heart bone) is a rare bone found only in a few animals in the world. We discovered an os cordis in some chimpanzees. The os cordis was found in males and females, and in young and old animals. It was not present in chimps with healthy... Read More about Discovery Of A Bone In Chimpanzee Hearts.

The Importance of Anatomy (2020)
Journal Article

Anatomy is the knowledge about the structure of the bodies of animals and people. This includes information about blood vessels, organs, the skeleton, and nerves. But have you ever wondered where the anatomical information in science books and websit... Read More about The Importance of Anatomy.

Computed tomography in veterinary medicine: currently published and tomorrow’s vision (2017)
Book Chapter

The utilisation of Computed Tomography (CT) in veterinary practice has been increasing rapidly in line with reduced cost, improved availability and the increase in expertise and technology. This review briefly examines the recent technological advanc... Read More about Computed tomography in veterinary medicine: currently published and tomorrow’s vision.

Linking bone development on the caudal aspect of the distal phalanx with lameness during life (2016)
Journal Article

Claw horn disruption lesions (CHDL; sole hemorrhage, sole ulcer, and white line disease) cause a large proportion of lameness in dairy cattle, yet their etiopathogenesis remains poorly understood. Untreated CHDL may be associated with damage to the i... Read More about Linking bone development on the caudal aspect of the distal phalanx with lameness during life.

Claw length recommendations for dairy cow foot trimming (2015)
Journal Article

The aim was to describe variation in length of the dorsal hoof wall in contact with the dermis for cows on a single farm, and hence, derive minimum appropriate claw lengths for routine foot trimming. The hind feet of 68 Holstein-Friesian dairy cows w... Read More about Claw length recommendations for dairy cow foot trimming.

Maternal protein-energy malnutrition during early pregnancy in sheep impacts the fetal ornithine cycle to reduce fetal kidney microvascular development (2014)
Journal Article

This paper identifies a common nutritional pathway relating maternal through to fetal protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) and compromised fetal kidney development. Thirty-one twin-bearing sheep were fed either a control (n=15) or low-protein diet (n=16...

Computed tomography analysis of guinea pig bone: architecture, bone thickness and dimensions throughout development. (2014)
Journal Article

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...
