Repeat patient testing-quality control compared to commercial quality control material for the Sysmex XT-2000iV hematology analyzer in a multi-site veterinary laboratory (2024)
Journal Article

Background: Quality control material (QCM) for hematology in veterinary laboratories is limited, and repeat patient testing quality control (RPT‐QC) is an alternative method using excess matrix‐specific samples. Objectives: This study aimed to determ...

Repeat patient testing-quality control with canine samples shows promise as an alternative to commercial quality control material for a network of 4 Sysmex XT2000iV hematology analyzers (2023)
Journal Article

Background Repeat patient testing-quality control (RPT-QC) uses retained patient samples as an alternative to commercial quality control material (QCM). We elected to calculate and validate RPT-QC limits for red blood cell count (RBC), hemoglobin (H...

Successful use of a benchtop fluorescent enzyme immunoassay analyzer to measure serum cortisol concentration as a screening test for hypoadrenocorticism in dogs (2022)
Journal Article

OBJECTIVE To assess the diagnostic performance of a benchtop fluorescent enzyme immunoassay analyzer (AIA-360; Tosoh Bioscience Inc) for the measurement of serum cortisol concentration as a screening test for hypoadrenocorticism in dogs. ANIMALS 173... Read More about Successful use of a benchtop fluorescent enzyme immunoassay analyzer to measure serum cortisol concentration as a screening test for hypoadrenocorticism in dogs.

Quality control validation for a veterinary laboratory network of six Sysmex XT-2000i/V hematology analyzers iV hematology analyzers (2022)
Journal Article

Background: Quality control (QC) validation is an important step in the laboratory harmonization process. This includes the application of statistical QC requirements, procedures, and control rules to identify and maintain ongoing stable analytical p...

Evaluation of Sysmex XT-2000iV analyzer performance across a network of five veterinary laboratories using a commercially available quality control material (2021)
Journal Article

Background Laboratory and instrument harmonization is seldom reported in the veterinary literature despite its advantages to clinical interpretation, including the use of interchangeable results and common reference intervals within a system of labo...

Results of urinary bacterial cultures and antibiotic susceptibility testing of dogs and cats in the UK (2021)
Journal Article

Objectives Bacterial urinary tract infections are a common diagnosis in small animal practice and antibiotics are often administered empirically. The aim of this study was to investigate the aetiology and antibiotic resistance of uropathogens in dog...

Antimicrobial resistance profiles of bacteria associated with lower respiratory tract infections in cats and dogs in England (2021)
Journal Article

Background: Bacterial lower respiratory tract infections (bLRTIs) are common and potentially life threatening in cats and dogs. Antibiotic treatment is often initiated before the diagnosis of bLRTI; therefore improved knowledge of the aetiology and a... Read More about Antimicrobial resistance profiles of bacteria associated with lower respiratory tract infections in cats and dogs in England.

Comparison of 25?hydroxyvitamin D concentration in chimpanzee dried blood spots and serum (2020)
Journal Article

Background Dried blood spots (DBS) are used in human medicine to measure total 25‐hydroxyvitamin D (25‐OHD) in the blood. However, this easy and affordable sampling technique has not been evaluated in primates to measure vitamin D concentrations.... Read More about Comparison of 25?hydroxyvitamin D concentration in chimpanzee dried blood spots and serum.

Polymorphisms in the CTLA4 promoter sequence are associated with canine hypoadrenocorticism (2020)
Journal Article

Background Canine hypoadrenocorticism is an immune-mediated endocrinopathy that shares both clinical and pathophysiological similarities with Addison’s disease in humans. Several dog breeds are overrepresented in the disease population, suggesting t... Read More about Polymorphisms in the CTLA4 promoter sequence are associated with canine hypoadrenocorticism.

Pathological findings in the pituitary glands of 201 dogs and cats (2018)
Journal Article

With the exception of classic functional adenomas in dogs and horses, pituitary lesions are infrequently described in the veterinary literature. Approximately 10% of pituitary glands from asymptomatic humans contain abnormalities but the equivalent p... Read More about Pathological findings in the pituitary glands of 201 dogs and cats.

A longitudinal study of autoantibodies against cytochrome P450 side-chain cleavage enzyme in dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) affected with hypoadrenocorticism (Addison's disease) (2018)
Journal Article

Autoantibodies directed against the P450 side chain cleavage enzyme (P450scc) have been recently described in dogs affected with hypoadrenocorticism, consistent with an immune-mediated pathogenesis of this endocrinopathy. In human autoimmune Addison’...

Hypophysitis, Panhypopituitarism, and Hypothalamitis in a Scottish Terrier Dog (2017)
Journal Article

A 6-year old male neutered Scottish Terrier was referred with a 1 week history of progressive lethargy and anorexia. Neurological examination localized a lesion to the forebrain and hormonal testing showed panhypopituitarism. Magnetic resonance imagi...
