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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 feasibility of interspecific rescue of endothelial/hematopoietic lineage deficiency
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)Here we propose to develop a mouse model which will establish “proof of principle” for future development of large animal (e.g. pig) models which could be used as actual human solid organ and blood donors as well as in ... -
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. ... -
Murine theiloviruses : characterization and pathogenesis of enteric and disseminated disease
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Rat theilovirus (RTV), a member of the Theilovirus (ThV) species and closely related to Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV), is a prevalent ... -
Universal blood : the life stream all four one and one for all : an enzymatic methodology creating a universal blood supply
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)α-NAGA (α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase) is an exoglycosidase that cleaves a specific carbohydrate, terminal linked 1-3 α-N-acetylgalactosamine, from the A antigen. The enzymatic hydrolysis creates the H antigen. This modification ...
