Proactive dairy cattle disease control in the UK: veterinary surgeons' involvement and associated characteristics (2013)
Journal Article

Characteristics of 94 veterinary surgeons associated with delivering preventive herd-level strategies to control mastitis, lameness and Johne's disease were investigated using two multinomial models. The response variables were ‘Gold Standard Monitor... Read More about Proactive dairy cattle disease control in the UK: veterinary surgeons' involvement and associated characteristics.

Sex differences in metabolic and adipose tissue responses to juvenile-onset obesity in sheep (2013)
Journal Article

Sex is a major factor determining adipose tissue distribution and the subsequent adverse effects of obesity-related disease including type 2 diabetes. The role of gender on juvenile obesity and the accompanying metabolic and inflammatory responses is...

Polycomb recruitment attenuates retinoic acid–induced transcription of the bivalent NR2F1 gene (2013)
Journal Article

Polycomb proteins play key roles in mediating epigenetic modifications that occur during cell differentiation. The Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) mediates the tri-methylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3). In this study, we identify a dist...

Methods used to estimate the size of the owned cat and dog population: a systematic review (2013)
Journal Article

Background: There are a number of different methods that can be used when estimating the size of the owned cat and dog population in a region, leading to varying population estimates. The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review to evalu... Read More about Methods used to estimate the size of the owned cat and dog population: a systematic review.

CluGene: A Bioinformatics Framework for the Identification of Co-Localized, Co-Expressed and Co-Regulated Genes Aimed at the Investigation of Transcriptional Regulatory Networks from High-Throughput Expression Data (2013)
Journal Article

The full understanding of the mechanisms underlying transcriptional regulatory networks requires unravelling of complex causal relationships. Genome high-throughput technologies produce a huge amount of information pertaining gene expression and regu...

Imaging diagnosis: ultrasonographic appearance of small bowel metastasis from canine mammary carcinoma (2013)
Journal Article

A 10-year-old entire female Beagle dog was evaluated for an acute history of lethargy, anorexia, and diarrhea. Mammary tumors were detected during physical examination. Ultrasonographic scanning revealed the presence of a unique pattern of multiple,...

The progesterone receptor antagonist, onapristone has differential effects on the timing and control of the luteolytic mechanism depending on timing of administration in sheep (2013)
Journal Article

Cyclic ewes were treated with control vehicle or progesterone receptor antagonist (onapristone; 100 mg i.m. twice daily) during either early (day 3–5) or late (day 12–14) luteal phase and plasma samples collected for hormone analysis and to determine...

A method of determining RNA conformational ensembles using structure-based calculations of residual dipolar couplings (2013)
Journal Article

We describe a method of determining the conformational fluctuations of RNA based on the incorporation of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) as replica-averaged structural restraints in molecular dynamics simulations. I... Read More about A method of determining RNA conformational ensembles using structure-based calculations of residual dipolar couplings.

Association between somatic cell count early in the first lactation and the longevity of Irish dairy cows (2013)
Journal Article

Reduced longevity of cows is an important component of mastitis costs, and increased somatic cell count (SCC) early in the first lactation has been reported to increase culling risk throughout the first lactation. Generally, cows must survive beyond... Read More about Association between somatic cell count early in the first lactation and the longevity of Irish dairy cows.

Effect of extended cefquinome treatment on clinical persistence or recurrence of environmental clinical mastitis (2013)
Journal Article

The effectiveness of antibiotic treatment of clinical mastitis (CM) is classically evaluated using bacteriological cure, which provides a concise and objective way of assessing efficacy but does not reflect the situation in the field where persistenc...

How does reviewing the evidence change veterinary surgeons’ beliefs regarding the treatment of ovine footrot?: a quantitative and qualitative study (2013)
Journal Article

Footrot is a widespread, infectious cause of lameness in sheep, with major economic and welfare costs. The aims of this research were: (i) to quantify how veterinary surgeons’ beliefs regarding the efficacy of two treatments for footrot changed follo...

The role of proton dynamics in the development and maintenance of multidrug resistance in cancer (2013)
Journal Article

With a projected 382.4 per 100,000 people expected to suffer from some form of malignant neoplasm in 2015, improving treatment is an essential focus of cancer research today. Multi-drug resistance (MDR) is the leading cause of chemotherapeutic failur... Read More about The role of proton dynamics in the development and maintenance of multidrug resistance in cancer.

Using hormones to manage dairy cow fertility: the clinical and ethical beliefs of veterinary practitioners (2013)
Journal Article

In the face of a steady decline in dairy cow fertility over several decades, using hormones to assist reproduction has become common. In the European Union, hormones are prescription-only medicines, giving veterinary practitioners a central role in t...

Cattle producers’ perceptions of biosecurity (2013)
Journal Article

Background: The limited use of biosecurity practices by many in the farming community is likely to be due to a range of factors; further understanding of this issue is required. In this study, attitudes and behaviours of producers relating to selecte... Read More about Cattle producers’ perceptions of biosecurity.

Evolution of equine influenza virus in vaccinated horses (2013)
Journal Article

Influenza A viruses are characterized by their ability to evade host immunity, even in vaccinated individuals. To determine how prior immunity shapes viral diversity in vivo, we studied the intra- and interhost evolution of equine influenza virus in...
