Kinetic Effects of Heat Stress on Olfaction: A Thermodynamic Evaluation of Electrical Responses to Odorants in Olfactory Epithelia
(2018-04-23)
Detection dogs are exposed to some of the most extreme environmental conditions in the world while simultaneously expected to maintain maximal olfactory function. Sometimes these conditions exceed their thermoregulatory ...
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 ...
The role of zinc nanoparticles in the initial events of olfaction, their characterization, preservation, and microenvironmental influence.
(2018-04-24)
Olfactory responses are intensely enhanced with the addition of endogenous and engineered primarily-elemental small zinc nanoparticles (ZnNPs). The endogenous ZnNPs have been found as proteon nucleating centers (PNCs) ...
Novel Infectious Bronchitis Virus Vaccines and Immune Responses
(2019-11-25)
Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) occurs as multiple serotypes and genotypes worldwide. In the United States IBV belonging to the Arkansas (Ark) Delmarva Poultry Industry (DPI) genotype is the most frequently isolated ...
Minimally invasive routes of AAV administration to treat GM1 gangliosidosis
(2020-04-17)
GM1 gangliosidosis is a lysosomal storage disease caused by a deficiency of lysosomal β-galactosidase (βgal), which results in the accumulation of GM1 ganglioside and fatal neurodegeneration. In the human type II (late ...
Australian Labradoodle Dystrophinopathy: A Novel Canine Model for the Study of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Cardiomyopathy
(2020-04-22)
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive disorder that results in progressive damage to both skeletal and cardiac myocytes. As a result of improved ventilatory care, mortality in affected patients is ...
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 ...
Changes in the Open Reading Frame of Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus during Serial Infection of Pregnant Cattle, Sheep, and Swine
(2018-04-24)
Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is an economically important pathogen that is endemic in cattle populations of many countries. This virus can also infect pigs, camelids, and a wide range of ruminants including sheep, ...
Infectious Bronchitis Virus-Host Interaction: Viral Spike Protein Cell/Tissue Binding Specificity and Immune Responses
(2019-10-03)
The coronavirus avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) causes a highly contagious disease in chickens affecting the respiratory tract and, depending on virus strains, reproductive and urogenital tracts. Strains are ...
