Cefazolin Concentration in Surgically Created Wounds Treated with Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Compared to Surgically Created Wounds Treated with Nonadherent Wound Dressings
… prospective, controlled, experimental study. The animal population included 12 female spayed beagles. We hypothesized there would be a difference between the cefazolin concentrations of wounds treated with negative pressure wound therapy when compared to the cefazolin concentrations of wounds …

Ecological succession on abandoned farmland and its relationship to wildlife production in Cumberland County, Virginia
… so as to meet most adequately the needs of any animal species. Natural habitats are constantly undergoing many changes in response to external influences. These changes are usually very slow but almost invariably take place in a series of integrating, but well defined steps when the pattern is …

Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor/ Mitogen- Activated Protein Kinase Signal Transduction Cascade in Mammary Cancer
… causes of death in both the human and companion animal population. There are many histological and pathophysiological similarities between human and feline mammary cancer, therefore investigating the molecular pathways of disease progression in one species may provide useful information for both. …

Conservation genetics of a spotted salamander (Ambystoma maculatum (Shaw 1802)) local population in southeast Tennessee
… how genetic variation in local amphibian populations is affected by disturbance. The goal of this study was to assess the genetic impacts of past chemical and ammunition storage and present industrialization on a local population of Ambystoma maculatum (Shaw 1802) using thirteen …

Evaluation of estimators of population size based on simulation techniques
Estimating the size of an animal population has been a major problem for the biologist. Although a host of techniques and mathematical refinements of existing estimators have been developed, they fail to aid the investigator when the individuals in the population do not exhibit equal probability of …

Mitochondrial genomics and Northwestern Atlantic population genetics of marine annelids
… marine benthic invertebrate phylogenetics and population genetics, focused on the phylum Annelida. Recent expansions of molecular methods and the increasing diversity of available markers have allowed more complex and fine-scale questions to be asked at a variety of taxonomic levels. At the …

Genomic insights into the host range and interspecies transmission dynamics of Staphylococcus aureus
… range, including livestock, companion, and wild animal species. Genomic and epidemiological studies show that S. aureus can freely transmit between different species, with some of these transmissions resulting in successful adaptation and ongoing transmission in a new species. Given an …

Modeled and Unmodeled Approaches for Quantification of the Cardiac Autonomic Nervous System
… system function. Using data collected from animal experiments, we show that it is related to heart rate (HR) and not an independent measure. In White New Zealand Rabbits (N=8), HR was titrated using a combination of electrical stimulation of the right cervical vagus nerve (simulating …

A comparative Study of the Population Densities of Various Tardigrada Species
… purpose of this investigation was to compare the population density of tardigrades in regions as related to: (a) high and low particulate counts without reference to the nature of the particulate present and (b)high and low traffic flow density without reference to particulate counts. Procedure. …

Assessment of the Zoonotic Potential of a Novel Bovine Influenza Virus
… suggesting the natural reservoir being bovine populations. The virus had genome characteristics most similar to influenza C viruses (ICV) but, due to the extent of sequence divergence, was proposed as a new genus, influenza D virus (IDV). Current literature on IDV has largely focused on the …
