Fall 2016
Antemortem identification of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) patients is initially based upon clinical presentation of the disease. Symptoms are assessed in combination with results from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis, electroencephalography (EEG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and...

Carotid atherosclerosis is responsible for 15-25% of the nearly 8 million first-ever ischemic strokes that occur each year worldwide. This proportion has remained constant over the past three decades, thus suggesting that some patients with carotid atherosclerosis currently receive suboptimal...

Wilkinson, Jamie M., Ladinig, Andrea, Bao, Hua, Kommadath, Arun, Stothard, Paul, Lunney, Joan K., Harding, John C. S., Plastow, Graham S.
Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) infection of pregnantfemales causes fetal death and increased piglet mortality, but there is substantial variationin the extent of reproductive pathology between individual dams. This study used RNA-sequencing to characterize the whole...

Evaluating the Role of Bacterial Lipopolysaccharide on Etiology and Pathogenesis of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies
DownloadFall 2014
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) or otherwise known as prion diseases are a class of fatal neurodegenerative diseases related to irreversible brain damage. Presently, there is no effective treatment or preventive strategy for this disease because the etiology and biological...

Background Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity globally. Vertical transmission is the primary mode of HIV acquisition among infants. Although successful interventions have reduced vertical transmission to less than <2.9% in low-to-middle income countries...

Identification of biomarkers associated with the onset and progression of ketosis in transition dairy cows
DownloadFall 2016
Ketosis is a common metabolic disorder of transition dairy cows during the early lactation period. Cows with ketosis have lower milk yield and reproductive performance, greater risk of other periparturient diseases, and higher culling rate. Although ketosis has been extensively studied, not many...

Non digestible carbohydrates in the diet determine toxicity of irinotecan (CPT-11)/5-fluorouracil in rats independently of β-glucuronidase activity in intestinal lumen
DownloadFall 2012
Aim of this study was to assess effects of non-digestible carbohydrates on the pathobiology of mucosal injury after chemotherapy. Rats bearing colon tumor (n=6/diet) were fed diets including 8% (w/w) as either cellulose, inulin, fructo-oligosaccharide (OligoF), 50:50 (w/w) inulin and oligoF...

Fall 2015
Despite considerable research progress towards characterizing the neurobiology of anxiety, the focus on putative behavioral markers and the absence of a common behavioural/neurobiological signature for the different classes of anxiolytic drugs have potentially slowed research into the neural...

Spring 2018
The presence of natural oil seeps, abandoned well sites (generally containing light oil), and high quality source rocks along the coast of western Newfoundland has refocused interest on the region as an area for potential petroleum exploration and development. Most of the oil seeps and old well...

Prophylactic ciprofloxacin treatment prevented high mortality, and modified systemic and intestinal immune function in tumour-bearing rats receiving dose-intensive CPT-11 chemotherapy

Baracos, Vickie E., Xue, Hongyu, Sawyer, Michael B., Field, Catherine J
Infectious complications are a major cause of morbidity and mortality from dose-intensive cancer chemotherapy. In spite of the importance of intestinal bacteria translocation in these infections, information about the effect of high-dose chemotherapy on gut mucosal immunity is minimal. We studied...
