Use of Accelerometers to Characterize Behavior in Beef Cattle During Health and Subclinical Disease
(2017-11-30)
The acute phase response (APR) represents a protective, coordinated response of the host with the aim of eliminating the inciting stimuli and re-establishing homeostasis. Produced by activated immune cells, proinflammatory ...
Effect of Increasing Intra-Abdominal Pressures on Hemodynamic Variables and Biomarkers of Ischemia and Acute Inflammation in the Horse
(2017-04-20)
Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) is defined as increased pressure within the confines of the abdominal cavity. As pressure rises, ischemia of the splanchnic organs will result from direct compression of the organs and ...
Sustained-Release Voriconazole-Thermogel for Subconjunctival Injection in Horses: Ocular Toxicity and in-vivo Studies
(2017-07-31)
Subconjunctival (SC) injection of a thermosensitive voriconazole-hydrogel poly (DL-lactide-co-glycolide-b-ethylene glycol-b-DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA-PEG-PLGA) may allow for sustained delivery of voriconazole to the ...
An In Vitro Study Assessing the Effect of Fluid Media on the Mechanical Properties of Pattern Starting and Ending Surgeon’s, Square and Aberdeen knots
(2017-07-07)
The objective of this study was to investigate the knot holding capacity (KHC) of pattern starting and ending square, surgeon’s and Aberdeen knots each tied in 4 throw combinations using either 2USP polydioxanone or 3USP ...
Adenoviral Vectored Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone Vaccine for Estrus Suppression in Mares
(2017-07-27)
The objective of this study was to evaluate an adenoviral vectored gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) vaccine as a method to suppress estrus behavior and cyclicity in mares. An additional objective was to determine the ...
Role of Intrauterine Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus in Modulating Host Gene Expression at the Maternal-Fetal Interface
(2017-04-25)
Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is a member of the genus Pestivirus within the family Flaviviridae. Infections with BVDV have a substantial economic impact on beef and dairy producers in the United States and worldwide. ...
Pharmacological characterization and functional rescue of the giant panda and human melanocortin-4 receptors
(2017-07-25)
The melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) is a member of family A rhodopsin-like G protein-coupled receptors. It is well established that MC4R is critically involved in regulating food intake and energy expenditure in mammals. ...
Prevention and Pathogenesis of Avian Infectious Bronchitis: The Role of Infectious Bronchitis Virus Spike Proteins in Cell Attachment and Protective Immunity
(2017-12-01)
Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) evolves by genetic diversity and selection resulting in continuous emergence of new virus phenotypes. Spike (S) protein is responsible for virus entry. The S1 subunit of the S glycoprotein ...
In vitro effect of Altered Platelet Count on Multiple Electrode Impedance Aggregometry in Dogs
(2017-01-10)
The objective of this study was to assess platelet aggregation by impedance aggregometry using canine whole blood with adjusted platelet counts. Citrated venous samples from 24 healthy dogs were aliquoted into unmanipulated ...
