The antiendotoxin effects of polymyxin B in a feline model of endotoxemia
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Introduction: Directed, effective therapies for feline sepsis are needed to reduce the high morbidity and mortality associated with this disease. Materials and Methods: We investigated the anti-endotoxin effects of PMB in ... -
Canine pharmacodynamic assays: applications in immune-mediated disease
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Immune-mediated diseases are commonly diagnosed in veterinary medicine and a high rate of mortality, expense and complications of immunosuppressive ... -
Canine T-regulatory cells in aging and cancer : quantifying a unique T cell subset
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)T regulatory lymphocytes (Tregs), identified by the markers CD4, CD25, and FoxP3, are an essential part of the immune system and promote tolerance with the purpose of minimizing auto-immune disease. However, if Tregs are ... -
Determination of allergen sensitization and comparison of subcutaneous and mucosal (intranasal) allergen-specific immunotherapy in an experimental model of feline asthma
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Rush immunotherapy (RIT) is effective in experimental feline allergic asthma. Further studies evaluating reliable allergen identification and improved ... -
The effects of an antiseritonergic drug and antihistamine in an experimental model of feline asthma
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Use of cyproheptadine, a serotonin antagonist, and cetirizine a selective histamine (H1) antagonist, in feline asthma has not been previously described. We tested the hypotheses 1) 5 mg of oral cetirizine would be adequately ... -
Immunomodulators in feline asthma
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Experimental asthma was induced in 10 cats using Bermuda grass allergen (BGA) and cats were randomly selected to receive either feG (1 mg/kg, PO) or saline for 2 weeks, followed by a 2 week washout period before receiving ... -
Longitudinal evaluation of effects of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells in a model of feline allergic asthma
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Asthma is characterized by airway inflammation, airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), and structural changes in the lungs. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) ... -
Neurokinin-1 antagonism as a novel treatment for feline asthma : investigation of the role of substance p in airflow limitation and airway inflammation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Feline asthma, a chronic respiratory condition, results cough and/or episodic respiratory distress induced by airway hypperresponsiveness (AHR), airway ... -
Reflux, aspiration and respiratory disease in dogs : clinical consideration and advances in aerodigestive diagnostics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)The aspiration of gastric contents into the respiratory tract has been associated with the development and progression of multiple respiratory diseases in humans. In veterinary medicine the term "aspiration" is considered ... -
The use of ventilator-acquired pulmonary mechanics and computed tomography in the assessment of interventions for experimental feline asthma
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In an experimental model of feline asthma, computed tomography (CT) and ventilator-acquired pulmonary mechanics were used in the assessment of various ...
