Analyzing Euthyroid & Hyperthyroid Indoor Cat Exposure to Flame Retardants
(2020-04-23)Hyperthyroidism in cats has increased since its original description in the 1970s. Environmental exposures are suggested as a potential contributing factor. This research investigated pet cats’ exposure to flame retardant ... -
Cerebral oxygenation and optimal vascular brain organization.
(J R Soc Interface, 2015-06-06)The cerebral vascular network has evolved in such a way so as to minimize transport time and energy expenditure. This is accomplished by a subtle combination of the optimal arrangement of arteries, arterioles and capillaries ... -
Design and in vivo evaluation of more efficient and selective deep brain stimulation electrodes.
(Journal of neural engineering, 2015-08)<h4>Objective</h4>Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective treatment for movement disorders and a promising therapy for treating epilepsy and psychiatric disorders. Despite its clinical success, the efficiency and selectivity ... -
Evaluation of high-perimeter electrode designs for deep brain stimulation.
(Journal of neural engineering, 2014-08)<h4>Objective</h4>Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective treatment for movement disorders and a promising therapy for treating epilepsy and psychiatric disorders. Despite its clinical success, complications including ... -
Stimulation Efficiency With Decaying Exponential Waveforms in a Wirelessly Powered Switched-Capacitor Discharge Stimulation System.
(IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering, 2018-05)The purpose of this study was to test the feasibility of using a switched-capacitor discharge stimulation (SCDS) system for electrical stimulation, and, subsequently, determine the overall energy saved compared to a conventional ... -
Transmission of MRSA between companion animals and infected human patients presenting to outpatient medical care facilities.
(PLoS One, 2011)Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a significant pathogen in both human and veterinary medicine. The importance of companion animals as reservoirs of human infections is currently unknown. The companion ... -
Whole body mechanics of stealthy walking in cats.
(PLoS One, 2008)The metabolic cost associated with locomotion represents a significant part of an animal's metabolic energy budget. Therefore understanding the ways in which animals manage the energy required for locomotion by controlling ...
