Presence of Emissary Veins in the Glabellar Region in Metopic Craniosynostosis

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Emissary veins connect intra‐ and extracranial venous circulation by bridging the dural venous sinuses to the external veins of the skull. Their variable presence and location may have important implications in perioperative blood loss. Clinical observations and previous studies suggest that emissary veins are more frequently present in the ...

Using machine learning to understand neuromorphological change and image‐based biomarker identification in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels with Chiari‐like malformation‐associated pain and syringomyelia

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2019
Background Chiari‐like malformation (CM) is a complex malformation of the skull and cranial cervical vertebrae that potentially results in pain and secondary syringomyelia (SM).

Evidence for functional convergence between LZTS2 and DYRK1A during craniofacial development

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Precise control of DYRK1A dosage is essential for embryonic development, including craniofacial morphogenesis. While LZTS2 is among the most consistently identified DYRK1A‐interacting proteins, its roles in embryonic development remain incompletely understood, and its potential contribution to craniofacial development has not been ...

Evaluation of systemic consequences of brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome in dogs

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) results from upper airway anatomical abnormalities and may cause systemic effects depending on severity. Methods A prospective, case‒control and observational study was conducted.

Risk factors for dental overgrowth in rabbits: A retrospective study using electronic health records

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Rabbits’ teeth grow continuously. Overgrown teeth are a frequent cause for veterinary consultation and can have severe welfare implications. The risk factors for overgrown teeth are incompletely understood. Methods Rabbits with overgrown teeth recorded in their electronic health records (EHRs) were identified from a large population

Development and validation of a cephalic conformation scoring system for the domestic rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus)

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Extreme cephalic conformation has been theorised to be associated with compromised health in rabbits. However, recognition and assessment of such phenotypes remain largely subjective. This study aimed to develop and validate a visual, semi‐quantitative system for head shape phenotype in rabbits.
