Abstract Objective—To determine repeatability of a wireless, inertial
sensor–based lameness evaluation system in horses. Animals—236 horses.
Procedures—Horses were from 2 to 29 years of age and of various breeds and
lameness disposition. All horses were instrumented with a wireless, inertial
sensor-based motion analysis system on the head (accelerometer), pelvis (midline
croup region [acceleromete... hiện toàn bộ
Application of a scaling model to establish and validate an interval level pain scale for assessment of acute pain in dogs Tập 66 Số 12 - Trang 2154-2166 - 2005
Carolyn Morton, Jacky Reid, EM Scott, Lynne Louise Holton, Andrea M. Nolan
AbstractObjective—To establish interval level measurement in a prototype
composite measure pain scale (CMPS) for assessment of acute pain in dogs and to
investigate the scale's validity.Animals—20 clinically normal dogs, 20 dogs with
medical conditions, and 117 dogs undergoing surgery.Procedure—First, a scaling
model was applied to the CMPS descriptors to establish weights for each and
create a co... hiện toàn bộ
Assessing repeatability and validity of a visual analogue scale questionnaire for use in assessing pain and lameness in dogs Tập 65 Số 12 - Trang 1634-1643 - 2004
Jonathan Thomas Hudson, Margaret R. Slater, Lathrop Taylor, Harriet Scott, Sharon C. Kerwin
AbstractObjective—To develop a visual analogue scale (VAS) questionnaire that is
repeatable and valid for use in assessing pain and lameness in dogs.Sample
Population—48 client-owned dogs with mild to moderate lameness.Procedure—The
dogs were from 3 studies conducted during a 3-year period. Of the 48 dogs, 19
were used in repeatability assessment, 48 were used in principal component
analysis, and ... hiện toàn bộ
Effect of transport stress on respiratory disease, serum antioxidant status, and serum concentrations of lipid peroxidation biomarkers in beef cattle Tập 65 Số 6 - Trang 860-864 - 2004
N. K. Chirase, L. W. Greene, Charles W. Purdy, Raymond W. Loan, Brent W. Auvermann, David B. Parker, Earl F. Walborg, Donald E. Stevenson, Yong Xu, Romil Saxena
AbstractObjective—To determine the effect of transportation stress on serum
concentrations of oxidative stress biomarkers of calves.Animals—105 crossbred
beef steer calves (mean [± SD] body weight, 207 ± 21.2 kg).Procedure—Calves were
assembled at 1 location in Tennessee, and pretransit (day –3) blood samples were
collected. Calves were allotted randomly by body weight into 2 groups. Calves
were t... hiện toàn bộ
Experimental infection of cats with Tritrichomonas foetus Tập 62 Số 11 - Trang 1690-1697 - 2001
Jody L. Gookin, Michael G. Levy, J. Mac Law, Mark G. Papich, Matthew F. Poore, Edward B. Breitschwerdt
AbstractObjective—To determine whether infection withTritrichomonas foetuscauses
diarrhea in specific pathogen-free orCryptosporidiumcoinfected cats.Animals—4
cats with subclinical cryptosporidiosis (group 1) and 4 specific-pathogen-free
cats (group 2).Procedure—Cats were infected orogastrically with an axenic
culture ofT foetusisolated from a kitten with diarrhea. Direct microscopy and
protozoal ... hiện toàn bộ
Effect of fibroblast growth factor-2 on equine mesenchymal stem cell monolayer expansion and chondrogenesis Tập 68 Số 9 - Trang 941-945 - 2007
Allison A. Stewart, Christopher R. Byron, Holly C. Pondenis, Matthew C. Stewart
Abstract Objective—To determine whether fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2)
treatment of equine mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) during monolayer expansion
enhances subsequent chondrogenesis in a 3-dimensional culture system. Animals—6
healthy horses, 6 months to 5 years of age. Procedures—Bone marrow–derived MSCs
were obtained from 6 horses. First-passage MSCs were seeded as monolayers at
10,000 cell... hiện toàn bộ
Assessment of lithium dilution cardiac output as a technique for measurement of cardiac output in dogs Tập 62 Số 8 - Trang 1255-1261 - 2001
Douglas J. Mason, Micheal O'Grady, J. Paul Woods, Wayne N. McDonell
Abstract Objectives—To determine agreement of cardiac output measured by use of
lithium dilution cardiac output (LiDCO) and thermodilution cardiac output (TDCO)
techniques in dogs and to determine agreement of low- and high-dose LiDCO with
TDCO. Animals—10 dogs (7 males, 3 females). Procedure—Cardiac output was
measured in anesthetized dogs by use of LiDCO and TDCO techniques. Four rates of
cardia... hiện toàn bộ

Pascale Sierra, Jacques Guillot, H. Jacob, Simone Bussiéras, René Chermette
AbstractObjective—To compare cutaneous and mucosal mycoflora in cats infected
with FIV or FeLV with that in noninfected cats.Animals—85 client-owned cats; 24
seropositive for FIV, 10 seropositive for FeLV, 1 seropositive for both viruses,
and 50 seronegative for both viruses.Procedure—Cutaneous specimens were obtained
from the coat and external acoustic meatus (ear canal) and mucosal specimens
