Clinical reasoning in canine spinal disease: what combination of clinical information is useful? [PDF]
Spinal disease in dogs is commonly encountered in veterinary practice. Numerous diseases may cause similar clinical signs and presenting histories. The study objective was to use statistical models to identify combinations of discrete parameters from the

Prolapsed intervertebral disc [PDF]
Prolapsed intervertebral disc is common—it is seen in up to a quarter of magnetic resonance scans and can be detected even in asymptomatic adults.1 Disc prolapse is genetically driven—twin studies indicate that at least 60% of the variance can be explained on genetic grounds and not by the commonly assumed environmental factors (work, trauma, exposure ...

Identification of Key Modules and Hub Genes of Annulus Fibrosus in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration
Background: Intervertebral disc degeneration impairs the quality of patients lives. Even though there has been development of many therapeutic strategies, most of them remain unsatisfactory due to the limited understanding of the mechanisms that underlie

Classification of Intervertebral Disc Disease [PDF]
Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) has been recognized in dogs since the 1800s, when the first descriptions of extruded disc material within the vertebral canal were published. In the intervening time our understanding of intervertebral disc pathology in dogs and cats has increased dramatically, with many variations of IVDD described. Whilst the volume

FGF4 retrogene on CFA12 is responsible for chondrodystrophy and intervertebral disc disease in dogs. [PDF]
Chondrodystrophy in dogs is defined by dysplastic, shortened long bones and premature degeneration and calcification of intervertebral discs. Independent genome-wide association analyses for skeletal dysplasia (short limbs) within a single breed ...

A novel magnetic resonance imaging postprocessing technique for the assessment of intervertebral disc degeneration-Correlation with histological grading in a rabbit disc degeneration model. [PDF]
Introduction:Estimation of intervertebral disc degeneration on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is challenging. Qualitative schemes used in clinical practice correlate poorly with pain and quantitative techniques have not entered widespread clinical use.
