Bioinformatics Analysis And Comparison Of The S Protein Of Canine Coronavirus And Feline Coronavirus, Bo Dong, Xiaowei Zhong, Jiaqi Zhuo, Renyi Hu, Xiaodong Zhang, Xiaolian Xu, Haiyan Deng, Xiaofang Yan, Weiming Lin

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The Coronavirus S protein induces neutralizing antibodies, specific receptor binding, and membrane fusion between the virus and host cells. These changes are crucial to understanding the mechanism, genetic correlates, and prophylactic treatment of viral infection. In this study, the spike (S) protein structure and phylogenetic association of CCoV and FcoV were analyzed using bioinformatics. The results showed that the S proteins of CCoV and FCoV contained transmembrane regions and signal peptides. The S proteins of these coronaviruses were soluble. The S proteins of these strains also contained two functional domains and two motifs, i.e., corona_S1 and corona_S2. Phylogenetic analysis showed …

Comparison Between Surgical And Non-Surgical Treatments Of Concomitant Cranial Cruciate Ligament Rupture And Medial Patellar Luxation In Small-Breed Dogs, Ekkapol Akaraphutiporn, Chalika Wangdee, Irin Kwananocha

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Cranial cruciate ligament rupture (CrCLR) and medial patellar luxation (MPL) are common problems that cause hindlimb dysfunction, lameness and pain in dogs. Although surgical intervention is recommended for these conditions, it may not be suitable for an individual with some underlying diseases. The objective of the present study was to compare the outcomes between surgical and non-surgical treatments for concomitant CrCLR and MPL in small-breed dogs. Seven stifles from five small-breed dogs with concomitant CrCLR and MPL were enrolled and divided into two groups. Four limbs (three dogs) in Group 1 were treated conservatively, and three limbs (two dogs) in …

Development Of A Preliminary Clinical Approach For Detecting Insulin Resistance For Normoglycemic Control In Canine Diabetes, Chutirat Torsahakul

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Consistent and effective blood glucose (BG) control is crucial in the treatment of diabetes mellitus (DM) and insulin resistance (IR). In this study, the surrogate indices for monitoring insulin sensitivity and the preliminary clinical approach for detecting IR were established. Fasting serum C-peptide was measured by a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit and utilized as an endogenous insulin representation. The homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was then calculated. To detect the IR, the relationship between HOMA-IR and fasting serum C-peptide in each individual subject was analyzed, and designed cut-off values. The results revealed that the HOMA-IR of …

I Would Do Anything For You: Exploring The Experiences Of Guardians Providing Hospice Care For Their Dying Companion Animals, Amanda Riches, Charlotte Brigden

People and Animals: The International Journal of Research and Practice

Veterinary hospice is a philosophy of care that seeks to maintain comfort and quality of life for terminally ill or geriatric animals. The practice is in its infancy in the United Kingdom (UK) and the needs and wants of caregivers are therefore not clearly understood. This study explored the unique perspectives and experiences of guardians undertaking hospice care for their dying canine and feline companions, filling an immediate knowledge gap in this field of study. Semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted with 15 hospice caregivers, consisting of 11 females and 4 males, sharing personal experiences with 17 dogs and 4 cats. …

“Quacking For Noggin”: Farm Animal–Assisted Therapy For Traumatic Brain Injury Survivors, Alex Sargsyan, Lora Beebe, Zenithson Ng, Patricia Roberson, Sandra Thomas

People and Animals: The International Journal of Research and Practice

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of animal-assisted therapies with farm animals (AATF), in this case domesticated ducks, on depression, anxiety, and self-efficacy in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Furthermore, the following hypothesis was tested:

Engaging in AATF with domesticated ducks will be associated with decreased depression, decreased anxiety, and increased self-efficacy.

The study examined the effects of AATF on anxiety, depression, and self-efficacy among nine patients with TBI. A time series quasi-experimental design was utilized. Participants completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Survey (HADS) and General Self-Efficacy (GSE) questionnaires at baseline, followed by the …

Shalom As Telos For Responsible Leaders, Kirk J. Nolan

Journal of Religion and Business Ethics

Biblical portrayals of shalom offer two important contributions to responsible leadership theory and practice. Responsible leadership theory arises out of the demands that socially responsible businesses place on their leaders. As these businesses become more serious about their impacts on society and on nature, they come closer to the vision of shalom found in the biblical narrative. The first contribution of this vision is that it provides a telos for human flourishing, which orients the virtues necessary for responsible leadership. In addition, this vision contextualizes human attempts to build virtuous business communities by situating these attempts within the framework of …

Pseudomonas Aeruginosa And Tobramycin Effects On Aspergillus Fumigatus Infection In Cystic Fibrosis Airway, Tuan Anh Nguyen

All ETDs from UAB

Aspergillus fumigatus (Af) is one of the most common molds in the airways of people with Cystic Fibrosis (pwCF). The infection of Af is often preceded by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PsA) infection and its correlated treatment. PsA is considered a highly prevalent bacteria in the CF lung. PwCF suffers from complex and sophisticated coinfections within the airway that negatively impact the health outcomes of patients. Despite this, why fungal and bacterial coinfection occurs in pwCF is still being determined. However, abnormal mucus production and its characteristics are suspected of creating an environment that promotes Af germination and disease progression. This study …

Improving Molecular Diagnosis Success Rates And Prognosis Prediction For Patients With Rare Diseases, Tarun Karthik Kumar Mamidi

All ETDs from UAB

Rare diseases are medical conditions that affect a small number of people compared to the general population. There are more than 10,000 estimated rare diseases with 80% being genetic in origin, which although individually have a relatively low prevalence, collectively impact the lives of hundreds of millions of people worldwide. The diagnosis process is usually difficult and slow, but an accurate and early diagnosis can be crucial for disease treatment and management. This dissertation focuses on some of the important problems in this area by investigating the application of advanced machine learning methods to enhance the accuracy, precision, and efficiency …

Renaissance Equity Holding Llc V. Riley

All Decisions

The landlord filed a nonpayment proceeding seeking $41,176.75 in rent arrears dating back to January 2020. The tenant was granted leave to file a late answer. The court granted partial summary judgment on the tenant's laches defense, finding the landlord unreasonably delayed in bringing the case. The court limited the proceeding to only the most recent 6 months of rent, severing the remaining $30,385.15 in older arrears for a plenary action. This significantly reduced the amount the landlord could potentially recover in the summary proceeding.
