Student and staff experiences of interactive digital models when learning animal anatomy

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Compared to human medical sciences, digital models of animals are rare, often behind subscription services and are comparatively lacking in interactivity and accessibility features. This study explores how digital models are currently being used to teach animal anatomy, providing the data required to construct the best anatomical models ...

Why Should Human-Animal Interactions Be Included in Research of Working Equids’ Welfare? [PDF]

Animals, 2019
The livelihood of working horses’ owners and their families is intimately linked to the welfare of their equids. A proper understanding of human-animal interactions, as well as the main factors that modulate them, is essential for establishing strategies oriented to improve the welfare of animals and their caretakers.

Emotional responses of veterinary students to first encounters with animal body donors

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Students' first encounters with animal body donors in higher education are a formative and also potentially stressful experience. The complex emotions elicited by body donor use in learning and their effects on professional development have been documented in medical students, but are far less explored in veterinary medical counterparts.

Arthroscopic Treatment of Focal Chondral Defects in the Hip Joint With Autologous Minced Cartilage, Allograft Cartilage Extracellular Matrix, and Platelet‐Rich Plasma

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Focal chondral defects (FCDs) are often encountered during hip arthroscopy for the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement. Historically, arthroscopic treatment for FCDs in the hip joint has revolved around microfracture, though recent evidence has showed inferior outcomes with this approach. Open cartilage repair procedures in the hip joint

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

Characterization and immunogenicity of nanoparticle vaccines displaying embecovirus spike proteins

Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
Virus‐like particle vaccines displaying spike proteins from OC43, HKU1 A, and HKU1 B were evaluated in mice for their ability to elicit antibodies against the spike proteins from OC43, HKU1 A, HKU1 B, and HKU1 C. Abstract Endemic human coronaviruses OC43 and HKU1 cause widespread respiratory infections and can be associated with severe illness in ...
