(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
Background: Reversed patent ductus arteriosus (rPDA) is a comparatively rare form of canine congenital heart disease (CHD) and is defined by severe pulmonary arterial hypertension (PH), pulmonary-to-systemic shunting across ...
Assessment of tibial morphologic alterations following correction of excessive tibial plateau angle in dogs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
. In the first study, virtual corrections were performed in orthopedic planning software using the following procedures: center of rotation of angulation (CORA)- based leveling osteotomy (CBLO) and coplanar cranial closing wedge ostectomy (CCWO), TPLO and CCWO...
Cardiac biomarkers (NT-proBNP and cardiac troponin-I) and point-of-care ultrasound in dogs with cardiac and non-cardiac causes of non-hemorrhagic ascites
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
between cNHA and ncNHA. Hypothesis/Objectives: This study compared NT-proBNP and cTnI concentrations, as well as POCUS findings in dogs presenting with cNHA and ncNHA. Animals: Dogs (n=60) were enrolled based on identification of NHA with an effusion PCV...

(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Lameness is an economically important and common disease of cattle. Foot disease is the most common cause of cattle lameness; however, there are few publications regarding lameness in cow-calf operations. The objectives ...
Relative HER2 protein expression in normal canine tissue and canine osteosarcoma
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Development of HER2-targeted immunotherapy in canine osteosarcoma (OSA) is underway, yet HER2 expression in normal and neoplastic canine tissue has not yet been defined. This study's objective was to evaluate the relative ...
Evaluation of a relatively hyperosmolar irrigation solution for use in equine femorotibial arthroscopy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
lactated Ringer's solution (273 mOsm/L) and a hyperosmolar (600 mOsm/L) irrigation solution for an exploratory medial femorotibial joint arthroscopy. Primary outcomes focused on the amount of periarticular fluid retention based on change in stifle girth...
Evaluation of incisional gastropexy modified by addition of two full-thickness stomach to body wall sutures for prevention of gastric dilatation-volvulus
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
Gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV) is a common disease in large breed dogs. Its treatment involves medical management and surgical reposition of the stomach. To prevent the occurrence or recurrence of GDV, gastropexy is ...
