Agarose gel serum protein electrophoresis in cats with and without lymphoma and preliminary results of tandem mass fingerprinting analysis [PDF]
<b>Background</b>: Serum electrophoretic profiles in cats are poorly characterized with respect to the protein components of the globulin fractions, and interpretation of the electrophoretograms has routinely been done in ignorance of the ...

Clinical and computed tomography findings of fatal poxviral vasculitis in a domestic shorthair cat
Abstract This report describes the clinical presentation, haematological abnormalities and imaging findings of systemic poxvirus infection in a cat that resulted in widespread severe dermal oedema and systemic inflammatory response syndrome. The cat lacked cutaneous lesions before the onset of dermal oedema, but developed crusting skin lesions and a ...

Altered Tryptophan Metabolism in FIV-Positive Cats [PDF]
Background:Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is analogous to human immunodeficiency virus, the causative agent of human acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). In AIDS patients, a progressive reduction in serum tryptophan concentration occurs because of activation of an inducible tryptophan degradation pathway mediated by elevated Λ‐interferon ...

Abstract A 10‐month‐old, neutered, male domestic shorthair cat with outdoor access was presented with a thoracic wound, severe respiratory distress, cachexia, dehydration and pleural effusion. Imaging confirmed bilateral pyothorax. Haematology showed marked neutrophilia with left shift, mild anaemia, thrombocytopenia and lymphocytosis.

The structure of FIV reverse transcriptase and its implications for non-nucleoside inhibitor resistance. [PDF]
Reverse transcriptase (RT) is the target for the majority of anti-HIV-1 drugs. As with all anti-AIDS treatments, continued success of RT inhibitors is persistently disrupted by the occurrence of resistance mutations.

Modelling of Flow-Induced Vibration of Bluff Bodies: A Comprehensive Survey and Future Prospects
A comprehensive review of modelling techniques for the flow-induced vibration (FIV) of bluff bodies is presented. This phenomenology involves bidirectional fluid–structure interaction (FSI) coupled with non-linear dynamics.

Abstract A 6‐month‐old intact female domestic shorthair cat was presented for surgical correction of a vascular ring anomaly. The main clinical sign on presentation was persistent regurgitation after ingestion of solid food. Computed tomography of the thorax confirmed the diagnosis of a persistent right aortic arch (PRAA) with a left ligamentum ...
