3D printers their clinical, experimental, and teaching uses.
(2015-07-28)
Recent technological advances in 3D printing have resulted in increased use of this technology in human medicine, and decreasing cost is making it more affordable for veterinary use. Rapid prototyping is at its early stage ...
Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis biovar equi infection in horses: transmission and diagnosis
(2016-06-07)
A recent re-emergence of equine disease caused by C. pseudotuberculosis has been observed including spread to non-endemic regions. Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis is a Gram-positive bacterium with an equine (equi) and ...
Culture and Characterization of Endothelial Colony Forming Cells from Peripheral Blood, Bone Marrow, and Umbilical Cord Blood of Horses
(2014-05-02)
Endothelial progenitors cells (EPCs), are a type of progenitor cell originating in the bone marrow and can be found circulating in peripheral blood, bone marrow, and umbilical cord blood. EPCs play an essential role in ...
The effect of collimation on image quality and radiation safety in digital radiography of small animals
(2013-07-11)
Collimating the primary x-ray beam to the specific area of anatomic interest has traditionally been strongly recommended to produce high quality radiographic images, even though some small animal patients can fit their ...
Effect of maternally-derived immunity in the development of humoral immune responses to vaccination and subsequent challenge with BVDV
(2015-05-08)
Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is a viral pathogen of cattle that can present with different clinical syndromes including reproductive failure, immunosuppression, respiratory disease, and gastrointestinal disease. ...
Equine Endometrial Development: Setting the Stage for Reproductive Success
(2016-05-04)
Uterine development in the foal is initiated prenatally; endometrial adenogenesis, or gland development, is initiated in the fetus and completed postnatally. To date, there is little data describing this process in the ...
Evaluation of a novel antiviral compound effective against multiple pestivirus species
(2013-04-23)
Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is a viral pathogen of cattle and other wild and domestic ungulates that is capable of affecting multiple body systems, most notably the gastrointestinal, reproductive, immune and respiratory ...
Evaluation of a Transvaginal Laparoscopic NOTES (Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery) Approach to the Abdomen of Mares
(2010-07-19)
The objectives of this study were to describe a natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) using laparoscopic and endoscopic instrumentation transvaginally into the standing mare’s abdomen and identify structures ...
The evaluation of post-surgical processing on the measurement of cutaneous and myocutaneous biopsy specimen dimension in cats
(2013-08-28)
The purpose of this study was to determine if post surgical processing affected the dimensions of skin samples obtained from cats. A second objective was to identify factors that contributed to changes in the dimensions ...
Evaluation of the accessory sex glands of the bull for the presence of Tritrichomonas foetus
(2013-07-11)
A bull infected with the venereal protozoan Tritrichomonas foetus can become a chronic carrier, remaining infected for life. It has been theorized that as a bull ages he develops deep folds or crypts in the epithelium ...
Ex-Vivo Biomechanical Testing of Tendon Implant Device for the Repair of Equine Flexor Tendon Lacerations
(2013-07-10)
Flexor tendon lacerations are a serious injury in horses that are life threatening and often career ending. An ideal tendon repair allows rapid return to weight bearing by providing a high strength to failure, high resistance ...
Ex-vivo Evaluation of a Modified Teno Fix® Device Repair Pattern Versus a Three-Loop Pulley for Repair of Equine Flexor Tendons
(2015-07-29)
Current techniques for equine tendon laceration repair are not strong enough to support the normal load placed on equine tendons, which can be up to 450 kg at standing rest. Repairs can result in further wound healing ...
