An overview of reliable and representative DVC measurements for musculoskeletal tissues
Abstract Musculoskeletal tissues present complex hierarchical structures and mechanical heterogeneity across multiple length scales, making them difficult to characterise accurately. Digital volume correlation (DVC) is a non‐destructive imaging technique that enables quantification of internal 3D strain fields under realistic loading conditions ...

Characterisation of spinal ligaments in the embryonic chick
Use of the embryonic chick provides an opportunity to examine the maturation of spinal ligaments during development, to inform anatomical defects in the spine. Abstract Ligaments are important connective tissues within the musculoskeletal system that connect bone to bone and provide support and stability.

When – and whether – should we spay/neuter companion dogs
The recent publication of guidelines for the control of reproduction in dogs and cats shows that a variety of non‐neoplastic and neoplastic conditions occur more commonly in spayed/neutered than entire dogs, and for several of such conditions the earlier the age at surgery – the higher the risk. In addition, unwanted behavioural changes may occur after

Diagnosis of degenerative myelopathy in a Boston terrier–French bulldog mixed breed
Canine degenerative myelopathy (DM) has been associated with mutations in the superoxide dismutase 1 gene (SOD1). Although the SOD1:c.118G>A mutation has been identified in Boston terriers and French bulldogs, no histological‐confirmed degenerative myelopathy has been reported in either breed.
