Speciation through homoploid hybridization (HHS) is considered extremely rare in animals. This is mainly because the establishment of reproductive isolation as a product of hybridization is uncommon. Additionally, many t...

This paper addresses trajectory tracking problem in mobile robots considering additive uncertainties. The controller design method is based on linear algebra theory. Numerical estimation techniques are used to estimate t...

Abstract Background Infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (IBK) in beef cattle has major welfare and production implications. Effective vaccination against IBK would also reduce antibiotic use in beef production. Object...

Abstract Background Cardiac cachexia, loss of muscle mass associated with congestive heart failure (CHF), is associated with increased morbidity and shorter survival times in people, but an association between cardiac ca...

Abstract Background Urine concentration (UC) provides clinically useful information concerning hydration status and renal function of animals. Objectives To characterize the clinical performance of urine specific gravity...

Abstract Background Development of management strategies for lumbosacral stenosis in dogs is hampered by the lack of objective diagnostic criteria and outcome measures. Objective To explore the suitability of electrodiag...

Abstract Background Brachycephalic dogs have abnormal breathing patterns similar to those in humans with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is associated with dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, ...

Abstract Background Salmonellosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in neonatal calves, often occurring before preventative vaccines can be administered. Hypothesis/Objective To evaluate the protective effect o...

Abstract Background Typical atrioventricular accessory pathways (APs) are composed of myocardial cells. They provide electrical connections between atria and ventricles separate from the normal conduction system. Accesso...

Abstract Background Characterization of the clinical signs, response to treatment and prognosis can be useful information for decision‐making when evaluating cattle with pharyngeal trauma. Objective To describe the sig...

Abstract Background Nonantibiotic alternatives providing local gut immunity have been recommended for managing calf diarrhea. Animals One hundred and two calves with diarrhea. Hypothesis Oral supplementation with immunog...

Existing empirical studies have mainly focused on determinants of average investment levels. Instead, we investigate episodes of accelerated capital stock growth having a duration of eight years or longer. We find that e...

Abstract Background Whether underweight calves respond differently to transport stress, enhancing their disease risk, is currently unknown. Objective To determine the effects of low body weight and transport stress on im...

Abstract A 7‐year‐old neutered female domestic shorthaired cat born in Poland and then moved to Japan presented to the local clinic with recent onset of convulsive cluster seizures and status epilepticus. Magnetic re...

Abstract Background There are no known treatments that halt or reverse chronic kidney disease (CKD) in cats. In rodent models, stem cell treatment has been associated with improvement in renal function parameters, especi...

Abstract Background There is a successful outcome after surgical management of spinal arachnoid diverticula (SAD) in up to 82% of cases. Hypothesis/Objectives We hypothesized that Pugs have favorable short‐term and poo...

Abstract Background Heart disease is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in cats, but there is limited evidence of the benefit of any medication. Hypothesis The angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitor benazep...

Abstract Background Caregiver burden is present in many clients managing illness in a companion animal, but current assessment tools are time‐consuming and lack normative reference values. Objectives Statistical reduct...

Abstract Background Acute hemolytic transfusion reactions because of dog erythrocyte antigen (DEA) 1 sensitization after mismatched transfusions are serious complications. Dog erythrocyte antigen 1 expression varies from...

Abstract Background Diabetes mellitus is the main cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in humans. The relationship between the 2 diseases in cats is unclear. Objective To assess the association between diabetes and CKD ...

Abstract Background Babesia canis infection induces a marked acute phase response (APR) that might be associated with alteration in lipid and lipoprotein metabolism and disease prognosis. Hypothesis Dogs with B. canis‐...

Abstract Background Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid cytology and culture are used to characterize respiratory diseases in dogs. Little is known about disorders associated with increased numbers of lymphocytes in BAL f...

Abstract Background Cervical spondylomyelopathy (CSM) occurs because of compression of the cervical spinal cord, nerve roots, or both, usually affecting young adult to older large and giant breed dogs. Juvenile dogs are ...
