Journal Article
Hudson, C. D., Bradley, A. J., Breen, J. E., & Green, M. J. (2015). Dairy herd mastitis and reproduction: using simulation to aid interpretation of results from discrete time survival analysis. Veterinary Journal, 204(1), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2015.01.024

Probabilistic sensitivity analysis (PSA) is a simulation-based technique for evaluating the relative importance of different inputs to a complex process model. It is commonly employed in decision analysis and for evaluation of the potential impact of...

Investigating common clinical presentations in first opinion small animal consultations using direct observation (2015)
Journal Article
Robinson, N. J., Dean, R. S., Cobb, M., & Brennan, M. L. (2015). Investigating common clinical presentations in first opinion small animal consultations using direct observation. Veterinary Record, 176(18), 463-463. https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.102751

Understanding more about the clinical presentations encountered in veterinary practice is vital in directing research towards areas relevant to practitioners. The aim of this study was to describe all problems discussed during a convenience sample of...

Epidrug mediated re-expression of miRNA targeting the HMGA transcripts in pituitary cells (2015)
Journal Article
Kitchen, M. O., Yacub-Usman, K., Emes, R. D., Richardson, A., Clayton, R. N., & Farrell, W. E. (2015). Epidrug mediated re-expression of miRNA targeting the HMGA transcripts in pituitary cells. Pituitary, 18(5), 674-684. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11102-014-0630-5

Transgenic mice overexpressing the high mobility group A (HMGA) genes, Hmga1 or Hmga2 develop pituitary tumours and their overexpression is also a frequent finding in human pituitary adenomas. In some cases, increased expression of HMGA2 but not that... Read More about Epidrug mediated re-expression of miRNA targeting the HMGA transcripts in pituitary cells.

Persistence of scrapie infectivity within a farm environment after cleaning and decontamination (2015)
Journal Article
Hawkins, S. A., Simmons, H. A., Gough, K. C., & Maddison, B. C. (2015). Persistence of scrapie infectivity within a farm environment after cleaning and decontamination. Veterinary Record, 176(4), https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.102743

Scrapie of sheep/goats and Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) of deer/elk are contagious prion diseases where environmental reservoirs are directly implicated in the transmission of disease. In this study the effectiveness of recommended scrapie farm deco... Read More about Persistence of scrapie infectivity within a farm environment after cleaning and decontamination.
