Cardiovascular and locomotory parameters during training in Thoroughbred racehorses: a multi-national study (2022)
Journal Article

Studies assessing concurrent speed, cardiovascular physiology and biomechanical parameters in racehorses during training have been rarely reported, mostly due to a lack of available comprehensive technology. Here, using a validated device (the ‘Equim... Read More about Cardiovascular and locomotory parameters during training in Thoroughbred racehorses: a multi-national study.

The SEISICAT study: a pilot study assessing 1 efficacy and safety of spironolactone in cats with congestive heart failure secondary to cardiomyopathy (2017)
Journal Article
James, R., Guillot, E., Garelli-Paar, C., Huxley, J., Grassi, V., & Cobb, M. (2018). The SEISICAT study: a pilot study assessing 1 efficacy and safety of spironolactone in cats with congestive heart failure secondary to cardiomyopathy. Journal of Veterinary Cardiology, 20(1), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvc.2017.11.001

Introduction The pathophysiology of heart failure involves activation of several neurohormonal systems including the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. The mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist spironolactone has been shown to be beneficial in hu...

A method for extracting electronic patient record data from practice management software systems used in veterinary practice (2016)
Journal Article
Jones-Diette, J. S., Brennan, M. L., Cobb, M., Doit, H., & Dean, R. S. (in press). A method for extracting electronic patient record data from practice management software systems used in veterinary practice. BMC Veterinary Research, 12(239), https://doi.org/10.1186/s12917-016-0861-y

Background Data extracted from electronic patient records (EPRs) within practice management software systems are increasingly used in veterinary research. The use of real patient data gives the potential to generate research that can readily be appl...
