Utilization of selected dietary fibers by dogs and cats
Several experiments with dogs and cats were designed to evaluate the fermentative properties of selected fiber sources, the efficacy of including various fibers in dog and cat diets, and to evaluate factors that may influence the fermentative activity of intestinal microflora. In vitro fiber …

Pharmacokinetics of propofol in cats
Since the introduction of the lipid emulsion formulation in 1986, propofol has become established for induction as well as for maintenance of anaesthesia in veterinary practice1 including cats2;3-8. Propofol is rapidly metabolized by hepatic glucuronidation in most species and it has also been …

Computed tomography of cats without general anesthesia: feasibility, protocol development and assessment of cats with thoracic disease
This study consisted of three phases. On phase one, the VetMouseTrapTM, a novel device that allows computed tomography (CT) of awake cats and provides a clinically supportive environment, was designed. Ten normal cats were used to test the device for safety parameters, including ambient internal …

Feline Leukemia Virus Detection in Corneal Tissues of Cats by Polymerase Chain Reaction and Immunohistochemistry
Corneal transplantation carries a high rate of success in the domestic cat and is an indicated treatment for specific corneal diseases in this species. The potential for iatrogenic transmission of viral diseases is a well-recognized problem in human corneal transplantation programs and screening …

Evaluation of hemostasis in hyperthyroid cats
Background: Hyperthyroid cats are predisposed to thrombus formation. The mechanism for thrombogenesis is currently unknown, but could be associated with altered hemostasis as seen in hyperthyroid humans. Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate markers of hemostasis in hyperthyroid cats …

Prevalence of Cardiomyopathy in Apparently Healthy Cats
… abnormalities are detected during auscultation of apparently healthy cats. Little is known regarding the prevalence of CM in this population. Furthermore, the clinical importance of auscultatory abnormalities in apparently healthy cats is unclear. In order to estimate the prevalence of murmurs …

Cardiac Biomarkers in Hyperthyroid Cats
… Hyperthyroidism has substantial effects on the circulatory system. The cardiac biomarkers NT-proBNP and troponin I (cTNI) have proven useful in identifying cats with myocardial disease but have not been as extensively investigated in hyperthyroidism. Hypothesis: Plasma NT-proBNP and cTNI …

Observing and measuring the drinking mechanism in cats
This study explores the characteristics of the lapping mechanism in domestic cats (Felis catus). Using high-speed video, digital image processing, and weight measurements we quantify data pertaining to the frequency of lapping and the volume of liquid consumed per lap. These observations allow us …

Carbon fluxes at an upland blanket bog in the north Pennines
The peat soils found in blanket bogs are significant stores of carbon. The degree to which these ecosystems are currently functioning as sinks or sources of carbon is not clear. There is a paucity of measurements from suitable sites but the available evidence suggests that certain sites might be …

Hydrologic and topographic analyses of bog turtle (Glyptemys muhlenbergii) wetlands
Bog turtles (Glyptemys muhlenbergii), a federally threatened species, depend on mountain wetland seeps to support their habitat needs. Bog turtles have been found to predominantly use saturated soil areas, making them highly sensitive to small changes in wetland hydrology. Recent research …

Restoration of lowland raised bogs damaged by peat extraction - with particular emphasis on Sphagnum regeneration.
… too dry for spontaneous re-establishment of raised bog vegetation. The latter was restricted to small flooded peat pits which had recolonised 'hydroserally' to support floating rafts of bog vegetation. 2. The water storage capacity of cut-over bog surfaces is low compared with undisturbed …

The Habitat Ecology of Bog Turtles (<i>clemmys Muhlenbergii</i>) in Southwestern Virginia
I radiotracked 31 bog turtles (<i>Clemmys muhlenbergii</i>) from May 1995 to December 1996 at 4 study areas in southwestern Virginia. Radio location data were used to provide measures of annual activity, spatial distributions of animals, and habitat selection. The techniques I used in this study …

Black Cats, Berlin, Broadway And Beyond: The Genre Of Cabaret
Music and Theatre have always captivated me. As a child, my parents would take me to live performances and cinematic shows and I would sit rapt, watching the theatrical events and emotional moments unfold before my eyes. Movie musicals and live shows that combined music and theatre were my …

Regulation of Energy Balance by Dietary Protein
The protein leverage hypothesis posits that protein restriction triggers a compensatory hyperphagia to facilitate the acquirement of the animal's protein needs whereas protein excess elicit hypophagia as the animal's protein requirement is met at a lesser calorie intake. However, the effects of …

The outer spiral network and its innervation by the olivocochlear system
Outer hair cells (OHCs) are key elements of the mammalian hearing system, which amplify sound-evoked signals transmitted into the inner ear. OHCs are innervated by peripheral projections of olivocochlear (OC) and type-II spiral ganglion neurons. Type-II neurons innervate up to 100 OHCs, but their …

The Socially Deviant (M)other in Euripides' "Medea" and Two Modern Adaptations
… male-dominated societies have developed their own culturally constructed images of the socially acceptable and socially deviant mothers. The thesis explores how the Grecian, Caribbean, and Irish cultures of Euripides’ <em>Medea </em>(431 BC), Steve Carter’s <em>Pecong </em>(1990), and …

A Bog Approach: An Ethnography, Or, An Anthropology Of Climate Emergency
… and aspirational state actors intersect on “The Flow Country” blanket bogs in the far north of Scotland. The Flow Country is the premier site of the UK’s large scale “forest-to-bog” peatland restoration project, one of the few “natural climate solutions” enacted and institutionalized. My …

Peroxidative protection of parenteral admixture by d-α-tocopherol and its effect on oxidative status of obese cats
… sensitive to peroxidation. This study evaluated the antioxidative effect of vitamin E in both HL:LD PA and in obese cats given HL:LD PA. Natural d-α-tocopherol (Vital E-300) was added to HL:LD PA at seven concentrations (8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, or 64 IU/g of lipid). PA were exposed to fluorescent …

Evaluation of Thyroid to Background Ratios in Hyperthyroid Cats
Hyperthyroidism is the most common feline endocrinopathy. 131I is the treatment of choice, and over 50,000 cats have been treated using an empirical fixed dose. Better treatment responses could be achieved by tailoring the dose based on the severity of disease. Scintigraphy is the best method to …
