Journal ArticleDOI

Methicillin-resistant staphylococci in companion animals.

TL;DR: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus identical to human EMRSA-15 was found in dogs and hospital staff and 5 distinct MRSA strains were isolated from horses but not from hospital staff.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stem cells in veterinary medicine--attempts at regenerating equine tendon after injury.

TL;DR: The background on why this treatment has been advocated, the data supporting its use and the current encouraging outcome from clinical use in horses treated with bone-marrow-derived cells are presented together with the future challenges of stem-cell therapy for the veterinary community.
Journal ArticleDOI

Specialization of tendon mechanical properties results from interfascicular differences

TL;DR: At physiological loads, the stiffness at the fascicular interface was lower in the SDFT samples, enabling a greater fascicle sliding that could account for differences in tendon and fascicle failure strain, and may allow the large extensions required in energy-storing tendons while protecting fascicles from damage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aspartic Acid Racemization and Collagen Degradation Markers Reveal an Accumulation of Damage in Tendon Collagen That Is Enhanced with Aging

TL;DR: It is proposed that increased susceptibility to injury in older individuals results from an inability to remove partially degraded collagen from the matrix leading to reduced mechanical competence.
