• Development of a checklist for the detection of degenerative joint disease-associated pain in cats

  Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery · 2020 · 50 citations

  1st authorCorresponding

  OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to develop an evidence-based, clinically expedient checklist to identify cats likely to have degenerative joint disease (DJD)-associated pain. METHODS: Data were compiled from previously conducted studies that employed a standardized subjective outcome measure consisting of a series of questions. These studies included a prevalence study (with DJD non-informed owners) and therapeutic trials (with DJD-informed owners). For each cat, and each question, respons…

• Prevalence of radiographic appendicular osteoarthritis and associated clinical signs in young dogs

  Scientific Reports · 2024-02-03 · 40 citations

  articleOpen access1st author

  This study aimed to determine the prevalence of osteoarthritis (OA) and associated clinical signs in young dogs. Owners of dogs aged 8 months-4 years from a single practice, were contacted in random order, to participate in a general health screen. Clinical and orthopedic examinations were performed. Each joint was scored for pain reactions (0-4). Orthogonal radiographs of all joints were made under sedation. Each joint was scored for radiographic OA (rOA) severity on an 11-point scale. Clinical…

• Initial exploration of the discriminatory ability of the PetPace collar to detect differences in activity and physiological variables between healthy and osteoarthritic dogs

  Frontiers in Pain Research · 2022-09-06 · 31 citations

  articleOpen access

  Background: Accelerometry has been used to evaluate activity in dogs with osteoarthritis (OA) pain, especially in relation to effect of treatment; however no studies have compared accelerometry-measured activity in dogs with OA-pain and healthy dogs. The aims of this study were to (1) compare activity output from the PetPace collar with the validated Actical monitor and (2) determine if PetPace collar outputs (overall activity, activity levels, body position, and vital signs) differed between he…

• Correlation of Artemin and GFRα3 With Osteoarthritis Pain: Early Evidence From Naturally Occurring Osteoarthritis-Associated Chronic Pain in Dogs

  Frontiers in Neuroscience · 2020 · 24 citations

  Arthritis, including osteoarthritis (OA) and other musculoskeletal-associated pain, is a worldwide problem, however, effective drug options are limited. Several receptors, neurotransmitters, and endogenous mediators have been identified in rodent models, but the relevance of these molecules in disease-associated pain is not always clear. Artemin, a neurotrophic factor, and its receptor, glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family receptor alpha-3 (GFRα3), have been identified as involved in…

• Gut Microbiome and Osteoarthritis: Insights From the Naturally Occurring Canine Model of Osteoarthritis

  Arthritis & Rheumatology · 2024-07-19 · 9 citations

  articleOpen access

  OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to enhance the current knowledge of the relationship between the gut microbiome and osteoarthritis (OA) and associated pain using pet dogs as a clinically relevant translational model. METHODS: Fecal samples were collected from 93 owned pet dogs. Dogs were designated as either clinically healthy or OA pain using validated methods. Metagenomic profiling was performed through shotgun sequencing using the Illumina NovaSeq platform. MetaPhlAn2 and HUMAnN2 wer…
