Analysis of platlet function in the setting of controlled trauma in dogs using a whole blood electrical impedance platelet aggregometer
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
of congenital coagulopathy, recent surgeries, or illnesses within the last month were enrolled to establish a reference interval. All animals had a normal physical examination, complete blood count (CBC) with a platelet count greater than 200,000/L...
Fever and pyrexia with verification of thermisters in dogs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
An elevated body temperature (pyrexia) often accompanies disease. Body temperature measurement is one of the vital parameters in medicine. This thesis contains a literature review of the pathophysiology of temperature regulation, hyperthermia, fever...
The effects of temperature and admixture handling on lipid emulsion stability in centrally administered veterinary parenteral nutrition (PN) admixtures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
This research centered on veterinary parenteral nutrition (PN) admixtures which are mixtures of amino acids, dextrose, and lipid emulsions designed for the intravenous provision of nutrition to small animal patients. Specifically the research...
In vitro evaluation of veterinary and human suture anchors in metaphyseal bone of the canine tibia
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Fix system in this model are likely to be of adequate strength to facilitate desired healing for similar applications in small animal surgery. The objectives of this study were to evaluate 6 soft tissue fixation devices with respect to 1) load to failure, 2...
Comparison of left 4th and 5th intercostal space thoracotomy for open-chest cardiopulmonary resuscitation in dogs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Open-chest cardiopulmonary resuscitation (OC-CPR) is indicated in certain cardiopulmonary arrest situations such as thoracic trauma. Laboratory research and clinical studies in human medicine have established the superiority of OC-CPR compared...
