Prairie Rattlesnake Envenomation in 27 New World Camelids

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2013
Abstract Background Morbidity and case fatality from rattlesnake envenomation is regionally specific because of variability in relative toxicity of the species of snake encountered. A previous report of rattlesnake envenomation in New World camelids (NWC) from the western coastal United States ...

How many large camelids in the world? A synthetic analysis of the world camel demographic changes

Pastoralism, 2020
At world level, the current official number of large camelids cannot be determined exactly (it is estimated to be more than 35 million heads), and the role of camels in the livestock economy is highly variable.

Evaluation of insulin secretion and action in New World camelids

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 2013
Abstract Objective—To measure and compare insulin secretion and sensitivity in healthy alpacas and llamas via glucose clamping techniques. Animals—8 llamas and 8 alpacas. Procedures—Hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamping (HEC) and hyperglycemic clamping (HGC) were performed on each camelid in a crossover design with a minimum 48-hour washout period ...

Nucleotide diversity of functionally different groups of immune response genes in Old World camels based on newly annotated and reference-guided assemblies

BMC Genomics, 2020
Background Immune-response (IR) genes have an important role in the defense against highly variable pathogens, and therefore, diversity in these genomic regions is essential for species’ survival and adaptation.

Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

Flow cytometry‐based monitoring of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells: Reagent selection, assay design, and clinical utility

Cytometry Part B: Clinical Cytometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Accurate quantification of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells is essential for monitoring post‐infusion CART expansion and persistence and for real‐time clinical decision‐making. Multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) enables rapid, live‐cell detection with absolute quantification and concurrent immunophenotypic characterization. This review
