Exogenous estrogen partially rescues progesterone deficiency and autophagosome enlargement in mouse model with lysosomal storage disorder.

Objective: Female mice exhibit progressive progesterone (P4) deficiency, luteal cell degeneration, and premature embryo implantation failure at 5 months old. We attempted to rescue embryo implantation in non-virgin mice (5-6 months old) with exogenous P4 treatment on days 1.5 post-coitum (D1.

Effect of hydrocolloid-nitric oxide wound dressings on wound healing in dogs.

Objective: To determine the rates of wound healing in surgically created wounds between nitric oxide releasing wound dressings and control wound dressings.

Study Design: Prospective, controlled, randomized experimental study.

Animals: Purpose-bred, adult, male Beagles (n = 6).

Recognition of Field Signs, Necropsy Procedures, and Evaluation of Macroscopic Lesions of Cervids Infected with Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease Virus.

Epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) is an arthropod-borne RNA virus in the genus Orbivirus, family Sedoreoviridae. Globally, seven known EHDV serotypes circulate among ruminant hosts and Culicoides species vectors. A variety of domestic and wild ruminant species are susceptible to EHDV infection, but infection outcome is highly variable between species, as well as between individuals of the same species.

Development of a peptide-generated antibody to rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus 2 VP60 and its immunohistochemical application in natural cases.

Rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus 2 (RHDV2) has spread across the United States infecting and causing death in domestic and wild rabbits. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) would be a useful tool for the detection of RHDV2 antigen in tissues as it is inexpensive and readily achievable in most diagnostic laboratories. However, there is no readily available antibody for this purpose.
