An overview of reliable and representative DVC measurements for musculoskeletal tissues

open access: yesJournal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
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 ...

When – and whether – should we spay/neuter companion dogs

open access: yesJournal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
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

open access: yesJournal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
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.
