  • Stem cells in Veterinary Medicine
    Stem cell research & therapy, 2011
    Co-Authors: Lisa A. Fortier, Alexander J. Travis
    Abstract:

    The stem cell field in Veterinary Medicine continues to evolve rapidly both experimentally and clinically. Stem cells are most commonly used in clinical Veterinary Medicine in therapeutic applications for the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries in horses and dogs. New technologies of assisted reproduction are being developed to apply the properties of spermatogonial stem cells to preserve endangered animal species. The same methods can be used to generate transgenic animals for production of pharmaceuticals or for use as biomedical models. Small and large animal species serve as valuable models for preclinical evaluation of stem cell applications in human beings and in Veterinary patients in areas such as spinal cord injury and myocardial infarction. However, these applications have not been implemented in the clinical treatment of Veterinary patients. Reviews on the use of animal models for stem cell research have been published recently. Therefore, in this review, animal model research will be reviewed only in the context of supporting the current clinical application of stem cells in Veterinary Medicine.

  • Renal Scintigraphy in Veterinary Medicine
    Seminars in Nuclear Medicine, 2013
    Co-Authors: Reid Tyson, Gregory B. Daniel
    Abstract:

    Renal scintigraphy is performed commonly in dogs and cats and has been used in a variety of other species. In a 2012 survey of the members of the Society of Veterinary Nuclear Medicine, 95% of the respondents indicated they perform renal scintigraphy in their practice. Renal scintigraphy is primarily used to assess renal function and to evaluate postrenal obstruction. This article reviews how renal scintigraphy is used in Veterinary Medicine and describes the methods of analysis. Species variation is also discussed.

  • Food systems Veterinary Medicine.
    Animal health research reviews, 2011
    Co-Authors: H. Scott Hurd
    Abstract:

    The objectives of this review are to suggest the use of the systems thinking framework to improve how Veterinary Medicine is applied to food production. It applies the eight essential skills of systems thinking to a few selected Veterinary examples. Two of the skills determine how we approach or define a problem, and are (i) dynamic thinking (taking a longer term perspective) and (ii) the 30,000 foot view (expanding the boundary of analysis beyond the animal, farm, or even country). The other skills are (iii) system-as-cause, (iv) operational thinking, (v) closed-loop (feedback) thinking, (vi) non-linear thinking, (vii) scientific thinking and (viii) generic thinking. The challenge is to adopt and apply this systems framework to Veterinary Medicine and food production. The result will be a rigorous new approach to solving the complex food and health problems of the 21st century.
