(1978)The resistivity of canine blood was measured at 37°C over a hematocrit range of 0 to 81 percent, with a variable-length conductivity cell similar to one developed by Dr. L. A. Geddes of Purdue University and his associates. ...
-
(2019-01-11)When it comes to saving lives after a destructive and catastrophic crisis, urban search and res-cue (USAR) dogs are an essential emergency response component, where each dog can perform the equivalent work of 20 to 30 ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)The measurement of pain has had a growing importance in animals for both privately owned animals and those animals involved in clinical research. Lameness is considered to be 1 aspect of the pain experience. The ability ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Previous studies examining the canine intestinal microflora have focused on cultivation of bacteria from intestinal content. Recently, it has been recognized that the majority of bacteria cannot be identified using standard ...
-
(2019-07-29)The osteon (Haversian system) is the basic structural and functional unit of cortical bones in human and many other large mammals like dogs and cows. Different from mouse cortical bones consisting of uniform lamellar bones, ...
-
(2012-10-19)Non-invasive markers that are clinically useful for the diagnosis and monitoring of canine chronic enteropathies are scarce. The first aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of cobalamin deficiency on a cellular ...
-
(2012-10-19)Recent 16S rRNA gene sequencing studies of the duodenal and fecal microbiota have revealed alterations in the abundance of specific bacterial groups in dogs with gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. The aim of this study was ...
-
(2009-05-15)The domestic dog, Canis familiaris, has over 450 naturally occurring inherited diseases. Over half of these diseases are clinically similar to human diseases making the dog an excellent model in which to study human ...
-
(2019-04-23)In treating spinal cord injury (SCI), it is important to identify agents that could diminish the inflammatory response that follows primary injury. Human and rodent SCI research shows an increase in neutrophils following ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)The Dalmatian is affected by deafness more than any other breed of domestic dog, with 30% of the United States population suffering from unilateral or bilateral deafness. The genetic origin of deafness in the Dalmatian is ...

-
(2015-04-24)Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a common condition in dogs that is challenging to diagnose. A dysregulated innate immunity plays a major role in its pathogenesis, and surrogate inflammatory markers that reflect disease ...
-
(2013-11-07)Recent molecular studies have revealed that the canine gastrointestinal tract (GIT) harbors a highly complex microbial ecosystem. Gut microbes play a very important role in the development and regulation of the immune ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)The morphologic variability seen in the domestic dog, Canis lupus familiaris, is unique among mammals. Selective pressures imposed by humans have divided dogs into almost 400 separate breeds. Selection has also led to the ...
-
(2009-05-15)The domestic dog, Canis lupus familiaris, is a unique model system for the dissection of hereditary diseases. Selective breeding practices have created more than 300 distinct breeds of dogs, born from a desire to create ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)The domestic dog, Canis lupus familiaris, plays many roles in the lives of humans. Additionally, the dog is recognized for its potential as a model for many human hereditary diseases. Thus, the genetics and genomics of the ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Natural diseases caused by keratin mutations are rare and have only been reported in humans. We have recently identified a heritable skin disorder in Norfolk terriers caused by a mutation in KRT10. Affected dogs have a ...
-
(2014-10-30)The eosinophil count in the peripheral blood does not accurately represent eosinophil activation in tissues, as eosinophils primarily reside in tissues and not in peripheral blood. To date, a non-invasive biomarker for ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a vital role in differentiation, proliferation and tumorigenesis by binding to messenger RNAs (mRNA) and inhibiting translation. To initiate an investigation into the identification of miRNAs in the ...
-
(2018-07-10)Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant cause of death in dogs. However, the gene and microRNA (miRNA) expression profile that affects progression in CKD has only been partially characterized. Dogs with X-linked ...
