Analysis of coffin and shoulder joint lameness with an inertial sensor-based system : impact versus pushoff
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Reason for performing the study: An inertial sensor-based system (Lameness Locator[copyright] [LL]) can help veterinarians detect mild lameness. It would be beneficial if this tool could also be used to distinguish lamenesses ...
Comparison of an inertial sensor based system of lameness quantification to subjective lameness evaluation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Recently developed wireless inertial sensor systems provide a means to objectively detect lameness as a horse is trotted over natural footing. The ...
Apigenin : chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic potential for progestin-dependent breast cancer
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Use of estrogen-progestin hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has been linked to increased risk of breast cancer, an effect that has been attributed to the progestin component. Commonly available antiprogestins are associated ...
The effects of furosemide on ureteral diameter and attenuation using computed tomographic excretory urography in normal healthy dogs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
A number of imaging techniques have been employed to try and diagnose ureteral disease, including ectopic ureters. CTEU has overcome those disadvantages and has become the imaging modality of choice for evaluating human ...
The mechanism of C-type natriuretic peptide production in dogs and its use as a prognostic indicator in critically ill dogs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
The N-terminal portion of pro C-type natriuretic peptide (NT-pCNP) has shown promise as a diagnostic biomarker for sepsis in humans and dogs. The mechanism of NT-pCNP induction and its use as a prognostic indicator in dogs ...
Parenteral fish oil effects on plasma non-esterified fatty acids and systemic cytokine concentrations in dogs immediately following ovariohysterectomy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
An extreme systemic inflammatory response may be observed in dogs that experience severe accidental trauma, such as being struck by a car. The inflammatory response may be so extreme that it complicates treatment and causes ...
New strategies in canine corneal wound healing for the veterinary ophthalmic patient
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Canine corneal fibrosis is a significant clinical problem in veterinary ophthalmology. Corneal wound healing following injury or infection often results ...
Molecular epidemiology of tick-borne Anaplasmataceae among client-owned dogs in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Several tick-borne agents of zoonotic ehrlichiosis or anaplasmosis are endemic to Missouri. Dogs are susceptible to the same infections and tick vectors, but their roles as models, sentinels or reservoirs are undefined. ...
