02081-A: Integrating Cutting Edge Science with Scientific Training to Defeat Hemangiosarcoma
Canine hemangiosarcoma (HSA) is an intractable disease with no warning signs and no effective treatments. Contemporary research is overturning long-held, yet incorrect assumptions about its origins and biological behavior. One approach to accelerate progress is to bring young, talented scientists with no deep-held biases into the field and allow them to evaluate data with a […]
0002222: Molecular Control of Prostaglandin Synthesis in Canine Mammary Tumors
Tumors originating from the mammary gland represent the most frequent form of cancer in female dogs. However, very little information is known of the mechanisms involved in the development of this cancer. In dogs, the growth of mammary gland tumors is dependent on the age of the animal and on its hormones. Malignant mammary tumors […]
02363-A: Platelet Function in Dogs with Chronic Liver Disease
Chronic liver disease is common among adult dogs with numerous breeds being predisposed. Liver biopsy is usually required to identify the underlying cause of liver disease in these patients, and is often recommended to monitor response to treatment. Because dogs with liver disease have abnormal clotting activity, bleeding is a substantial risk of biopsy. Routine […]
