Accelerometer-derived classifiers for early detection of degenerative joint disease in cats

This study uses accelerometry and machine learning to predict early signs of degenerative joint disease in cats, achieving 78% AUC in distinguishing healthy from unhealthy cats.

Body weight, gonadectomy, and other risk factors for diagnosis of osteoarthritis in companion dogs

This study identifies risk factors for osteoarthritis in dogs, finding that older age, higher body weight, gonadectomy, and younger age at gonadectomy increase risk.

Determining predictive metabolomic biomarkers of meniscal injury in dogs with cranial cruciate ligament disease

This study identifies metabolomic biomarkers of meniscal injury in dogs with cranial cruciate ligament disease using 1H NMR spectroscopy of synovial fluid.

The occurrence of tarsal injuries in male mice of C57BL/6N substrains in multiple international mouse facilities

The paper reports on the occurrence of tarsal injuries in male C57BL/6N mice across multiple international facilities, describing clinical signs and findings from radiographic and histological analyses.

A three dimensional multiplane kinematic model for bilateral hind limb gait analysis in cats

This paper develops a 3D multiplane kinematic model for analyzing hind limb gait in cats, showing it can quantify rotational and flexion-extension movements more accurately than sagittal plane models.
