Receiver operator characteristic curves (ROCs) were used to describe the overall diagnostic utility of each test, with optimal cutpoints analyzed to dichotomize continuous variables. Positive and negative likelihood ratios were calculated at these cutpoints.ResultsA total of 166 unique samples, including 87 septic and 79 non‐septic peritoneal effusions, were included. There were no significant differences in dog sex, age, or days hospitalized between groups. Septic effusions had significantly higher TP, TNCC, absolute neutrophil count, and neutrophil percentage compared with non‐septic effusions. The area under the curve of the ROC curves was TNCC (0.80), absolute neutrophil count (0.80), neutrophil percentage (0.64), and TP (0.63). For TNCC and absolute neutrophil count, optimal cutoffs were 17.13 × 103 cells/μL and 19.88 × 103 cells/μL, resulting in positive and negative likelihood ratios of 2.39 and 0.28 and 2.85 and 0.28, respectively.ConclusionsTotal nucleated cell counts and absolute neutrophil counts aid in the differentiation of septic and non‐septic peritoneal effusions with similar diagnostic utility but are not sufficiently sensitive or specific to use without concurrent microscopic evaluation.}, journal={VETERINARY CLINICAL PATHOLOGY}, author={Didomenico, Amy E. and Jacob, Megan E. and Stowe, Devorah M. and Gruber, Erika J.}, year={2024}, month={Feb} } @article{stowe_held_cross_meritet_hess_ferris_mochizuki_2024, title={Elevated serum gamma‐glutamyltransferase activity and immunohistochemistry in two dogs with renal carcinoma}, url={https://doi.org/10.1111/vcp.13373}, DOI={10.1111/vcp.13373}, abstractNote={During a 3-year time period, a 15-year-old male castrated Terrier mix (dog 1) and a 6-year-old female spayed Labrador Retriever (dog 2) presented to the North Carolina State Veterinary Hospital with similar blood work abnormalities and no significant physical examination findings. A CBC, chemistry panel, and urinalysis performed on both dogs were relatively unremarkable, other than a marked increase in serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) activity. Through imaging, both patients were diagnosed with a renal mass, and histopathology of both masses revealed a carcinoma. Immunohistochemical staining of the renal mass in both dog 1 and dog 2 were intensely positive for GGT. Dog 1 had the affected kidney removed, which normalized the GGT value. Dog 2 was euthanized, and metastasis to the lung was noted upon postmortem examination. There have been limited case studies documenting an elevation in serum GGT in dogs diagnosed with renal carcinoma. While renal carcinoma is uncommon in dogs, it is an important differential to keep in mind when there is a marked increase in serum GGT without accompanying increases in other measured liver enzymes. In addition, serum GGT can serve as a helpful biomarker for disease resolution and recurrence, as surgical removal of the renal mass (dog 1) led to the resolution of the elevated serum GGT.

Eosinophilic cavitary effusions are infrequently observed in cats, with few case reports comprising the majority of the recent literature.ObjectiveThe objective was to review disease associations of cats with eosinophilic cavitary effusions and to assess if a lower threshold of eosinophils (5%–9%) may warrant consideration of similar etiologies associated with effusions with ≥10% eosinophils.MethodsCytology reports were retrospectively reviewed for all feline cavitary effusions submitted for fluid analysis from 2010 to 2020 at a veterinary teaching hospital. Cases were included if the manual leukocyte differential included ≥5% eosinophils and separated into 5%–9% and ≥10% eosinophils groups. Patient records were reviewed for associated medical conditions.ResultsA total of 669 effusions were submitted from 579 cats; 50 effusions from 48 cats had a leukocyte differential with ≥5% eosinophils. The eosinophil proportion was ≥10% in 22 cats; the most common underlying cause was neoplasia (10/22, 45%), followed by inflammatory disease (4/22, 18%), cardiac disease (3/22, 14%), suspect neoplasia (3/22, 14%), and undetermined (2/22, 9%). The underlying causes for the 26 cats with 5%–9% eosinophils were similar; neoplasia (8/26, 31%), cardiac disease (6/26, 23%), inflammatory disease (4/26, 15%), suspect neoplasia (3/26, 12%), undetermined (3/26, 12%), and idiopathic chylothorax (2/26, 8%).

Significant pleural and pericardial effusions prompted thoracocentesis and pericardiocentesis. Cytologic evaluation of the pericardial effusion revealed a highly cellular hemorrhagic, eosinophilic (12%) effusion, with many markedly atypical suspected mesothelial cells, interpreted as concerning for neoplasia. Thoracoscopic subtotal pericardiectomy and histology of the pericardium revealed predominantly eosinophilic inflammation with multifocal mesothelial hypertrophy and ulceration. A peripheral eosinophilia was not present on serial complete blood counts. Initial infectious disease testing was mostly negative. Toxoplasma gondii titers were most consistent with prior exposure, although reactivation could not be excluded. The owner’s medical history included a prior diagnosis of bartonellosis. Owing to the challenges of definitive Bartonella species exclusion, the cat was treated empirically with pradofloxacin and doxycycline, and a subtotal pericardectomy. There was improvement at first but pleural effusion recurred approximately 3 months after discharge. The cat was euthanized and a necropsy was not performed. Subsequent pericardial effusion Piroplasma/Bartonella/Borrelia droplet digital PCR detected DNA of Bartonella vinsonii subspecies berkhoffii, and peripheral blood culture and sequencing revealed a rare apicomplexan organism (90% homology with Colpodella species) of unknown clinical significance. Testing for filamentous bacteria and fungal pathogens was not performed. Relevance and novel information This case offers several unique entities – eosinophilic pericardial effusion and eosinophilic pericarditis of unknown etiology – and illustrates the well-known marked atypia that may occur in reactive and hyperplastic mesothelial cells, particularly of infrequently sampled and cytologically described feline pericardial effusion, supporting a cautious interpretation of this cytology finding. }, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF FELINE MEDICINE AND SURGERY OPEN REPORTS}, author={Wheatley, Meagan Alisa and Shamoun, John and Maggi, Ricardo and Breitschwerdt, Edward B. and Sommer, Samantha L. and Cullen, John M. and Stowe, Devorah Marks}, year={2023}, month={Jul} } @article{gookin_hartley_aicher_mathews_cullen_cullen_callahan_stowe_seiler_jacob_et al._2023, title={Gallbladder microbiota in healthy dogs and dogs with mucocele formation}, volume={18}, ISSN={["1932-6203"]}, DOI={10.1371/journal.pone.0281432}, abstractNote={To date studies have not investigated the culture-independent microbiome of bile from dogs, a species where aseptic collection of bile under ultrasound guidance is somewhat routine. Despite frequent collection of bile for culture-based diagnosis of bacterial cholecystitis, it is unknown whether bile from healthy dogs harbors uncultivable bacteria or a core microbiota. The answer to this question is critical to understanding the pathogenesis of biliary infection and as a baseline to exploration of other biliary diseases in dogs where uncultivable bacteria could play a pathogenic role. A pressing example of such a disease would be gallbladder mucocele formation in dogs. This prevalent and deadly condition is characterized by excessive secretion of abnormal mucus by the gallbladder epithelium that can eventually lead to rupture of the gallbladder or obstruction of bile flow. The cause of mucocele formation is unknown as is whether uncultivable, and therefore unrecognized, bacteria play any systematic role in pathogenesis. In this study we applied next-generation 16S rRNA gene sequencing to identify the culture-negative bacterial community of gallbladder bile from healthy dogs and gallbladder mucus from dogs with mucocele formation. Integral to our study was the use of 2 separate DNA isolations on each sample using different extraction methods and sequencing of negative control samples enabling recognition and curation of contaminating sequences. Microbiota findings were validated by simultaneous culture-based identification, cytological examination of bile, and fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) performed on gallbladder mucosa. Using culture-dependent, cytological, FISH, and 16S rRNA sequencing approaches, results of our study do not support existence of a core microbiome in the bile of healthy dogs or gallbladder mucus from dogs with mucocele formation.

Biofilms are highly tolerant to conventional antibiotics which were developed against planktonic cells. Consequently, there is a lack of antibiofilm agents in the antibiotic development pipeline. To address this problem, we developed a platelet-rich plasma (PRP)-derived biologic, termed BIO-PLY (for the BIOactive fraction of Platelet-rich plasma LYsate) which has potent in vitro bactericidal activity against S. aureus synovial fluid free-floating biofilm aggregates. Additional in vitro studies using equine synoviocytes and chondrocytes showed that BIO-PLY protected these cells of the joint from inflammation. The goal of this study was to test BIO-PLY for in vivo efficacy using an equine model of infectious arthritis. We found that horses experimentally infected with S. aureus and subsequently treated with BIO-PLY combined with the antibiotic amikacin (AMK) had decreased bacterial concentrations within both synovial fluid and synovial tissue and exhibited lower systemic and local inflammatory scores compared to horses treated with AMK alone. Most importantly, AMK+BIO-PLY treatment reduced the loss of infection-associated cartilage proteoglycan content in articular cartilage and decreased synovial tissue fibrosis and inflammation.

Coelomic fluid in an Eastern River Cooter ( Pseudemys concinna concinna )}, volume={8}, ISSN={0275-6382 1939-165X}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/vcp.13142}, DOI={10.1111/vcp.13142}, abstractNote={An adult male intact Eastern River Cooter (Pseudemys concinna concinna) was presented by a good Samaritan to North Carolina State Veterinary Hospital's Turtle Rescue Team (TRT) after presumably being hit by a motor vehicle. The patient suffered from a carapace fracture of the left bridge (see Figure 2), prefemoral lacerations cranial to the left hind leg, and partial externalization of the intestines. The injuries appeared to be acute in nature. A shell repair was performed, and supportive care was initiated while the patient was dry docked. Blood work was not performed at the time of intake. Approximately 2 months following admittance, the patient was placed in water submersion due to the development of plastron pressure sores secondary to dry-docking. A week later, the patient reportedly had become very lethargic and appreciably edematous. The patient's packed cell volume (PCV) and plasma protein by refractometry at this time were 19% and 8.0 g/dL, respectively (the reference interval [RI] for related species, PCV 14%-26%, total protein 2.3-3.8 g/dL).1 Gross plasma abnormalities, such as hemolysis, were not appreciated. A coelomocentesis was performed, and approximately 35 ml of yellow, slightly cloudy fluid was removed from the coelomic cavity via fine-needle aspiration, which was then submitted for cytologic evaluation only (Figure 1); a total leukocyte count and total protein by refractometry were not performed. Low cellularity fluid with spermatozoa. The cellularity of the effusion was estimated to be low, along with low numbers of erythrocytes and few thrombocytes. Nucleated cells consisted predominantly of variably intact heterophils and macrophages. Outnumbering the leukocytes were several variably intact spermatozoa. Spermatozoa had deeply basophilic staining vermiform-shaped heads, which were elongate and tapered to a point, and variably appreciable, poorly staining midpieces and tails (Figure 2). No intracellular spermatozoa were definitively seen. No infectious agents were identified. Following water submersion and cytologic findings, the patient underwent both a computed tomography (CT) scan and coelomic laparoscopy to re-evaluate the overall extent of injuries due to trauma. The most notable finding on the CT scan included multiple severe comminuted fractures of the pelvis bilaterally, with moderate left sacroiliac subluxation and marked accumulation of coelomic fluid. While there were no obvious abnormalities in the gonads, this region was directly adjacent to the spinal luxation. The CT scan was performed without contrast. Together with the amount of coelomic fluid, any trauma to the gonads may have been inadvertently overlooked. Coelomic laparoscopy revealed a large amount of fluid with free-floating particulate matter, suspected to be plant material. Following the presumptive diagnosis of GI perforation (due to free-floating plant material), euthanasia was elected. On necropsy, a duodenal perforation and ruptured bladder, both with fibrinous adhesions, were discovered. Grossly visible gonadal trauma was not appreciated. Histopathology was not performed. Descriptive texts and images of the cytomorphology of mature turtle spermatozoa are limited.3, 4 Since cytopathology is more commonly used as a diagnostic tool in exotic and wildlife animal medicine; it is advantageous to have accessible resources with both routine and unusual findings that one might encounter as a cytopathologist. Many mammals and birds are seasonal and continuous breeders with synchronous reproductive events. In contrast, turtles located in temperate zones have a unique reproductive cycle in which spermatogenesis in male turtles is asynchronous with ovulation in the female. Spermatogenesis in the male turtle occurs episodically, starting in early summer and ending in autumn, with spermatozoa leaving the testes and entering the epididymis.5 Asynchrony of reproduction events necessitates methods for spermatozoa storage in both male and female turtles.3 In spring-breeding turtles, such as the Eastern River Cooter, spermatozoa are stored in the ductus epididymis of the male. In a study by Gist et al, spermatozoa were found in the ductus epididymis of painted turtles throughout the year, even when the testes were completely regressed in the spring.5 The spermatozoa were observed to be relatively impervious to deterioration over time (as long as 5 months), when evaluated both within and outside of the epididymis. While an official total leukocyte count and protein by refractometry was not performed, a low cellularity fluid suggestive of a transudate was considered most likely. In this case, chief uncertainties included how both the fluid and spermatozoa came to be free within the coelomic cavity. The patient was not hypoproteinemic at the time of water submersion; thus, decreased oncotic pressure was not considered to be a likely cause for the increased presence of coelomic fluid. Given that the fluid accumulation in the coelomic cavity appeared to occur simultaneously with water submersion, a postulation for the coelomic fluid was that water from the patient's enclosure had entered the coelom through the patient's wounds. The testis and epididymis are both located ventral to the kidneys and cranial to the accessory urinary bladder in the male turtle.3 Spermatozoa are a normal finding in the urine of clinically normal male turtles, as well as female turtles that have been in contact with males.6 Therefore, considerations for the presence of spermatozoa in the coelomic fluid include both traumatization to the gonads and/or contamination from the ruptured urinary bladder. An interesting observation made during the cytologic evaluation of the coelomic effusion was the relatively minimal inflammatory response. While heterophils and macrophages were present in low numbers, the spermatozoa appeared practically untouched. In small domesticated animals, the testes are considered an immune-privileged site; if exposed to surrounding tissues, a robust inflammatory response (predominantly macrophages) is anticipated (eg, sperm granuloma).2 Medications administered during the patient's hospitalization at various time points included nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (ketorolac and ketoprofen), as well as antibiotics (ceftazidime). Postulation for the lack of a significant inflammatory response includes anti-inflammatory and/or immunomodulatory effects of these medications. The timing of duodenal and urinary bladder perforations is not clear; neither plant-like material nor bacteria were observed at the time of cytologic evaluation; however, fibrinous adhesions described during necropsy suggest a degree of chronicity. Given the necessity for spermatozoa storage in both male and female turtles,3 not only traumatic mating but trauma, such as vehicular trauma, to reproductive organs in either sex may lead to spermatozoa leakage into the coelomic cavity year-round. While the presence of spermatozoa in the coelomic fluid was not a primary issue for the patient, this case allowed for the documentation of the cytologic features of spermatozoa from the Eastern River Cooter (Pseudemys concinna concinna).

Collection technique, cytology, bacterial growth, and antibiotic history were analyzed.ResultsFewer transtracheal specimens (9/144, 6.3%) were excluded for hypocellularity than endotracheal (28/174, 16.1%); otherwise, results were similar and were combined. Of 281 specimens with cellularity sufficient for interpretation, 97 (34.5%) had bacteria on cytology and 191 (68.0%) had bacterial growth. Cytology positive/culture negative discordancy was uncommon (8/97, 8%).

Results: The academic motivation survey revealed that both prior to and during the pandemic, the main drivers for student achievement were an interest in learning the content due to anticipated relevance in clinical practice, as well as a desire to master course goals. While the students predicted feeling more confident in their data interpretation ability in the traditionally taught topics vs. topics modified due to social distancing, the data from the content exam suggests that students showed better retention of topics taught in a modified manner. Lastly, the focus group revealed that participants perceived online learning to be more challenging due to the lack of in-person contact and increased frustration with technical issues. Conclusion: While moving courses online may make it more difficult to engage with the materials, peers, and instructors, there did not appear to be adverse effects on the overall student learning or content retention.}, number={3}, journal={Education in the Health Professions}, publisher={Medknow}, author={Stowe, DevorahM and Schoenfeld-Tacher, ReginaM and Hammond, Sarah and Hedgpeth, Mari-Wells and Neel, JenniferA}, year={2021}, pages={99} } @article{stowe_fiebrandt_druley_taylor_2022, title={Implementation of a Fine Needle Aspirate Simulation Model}, volume={49}, ISSN={0748-321X 1943-7218}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.3138/jvme-2020-0157}, DOI={10.3138/jvme-2020-0157}, abstractNote={ Being able to appropriately perform fine needle aspiration (FNA) collecting techniques and sample preparation is essential in obtaining a diagnostic sample, which is a critical skill for veterinary practitioners. Collection and preparation of cytologic samples are skills gained through practice. Experience leads to refinement of technique and improved diagnostic quality. Using live patients for mass skills training is not feasible; therefore, an aspiration simulation model and laboratory session was developed to reinforce physical exam skills, appropriate selection of sample collection supplies, and collection technique. Materials for the models include Ping-Pong balls, silicone, instant vanilla pudding mix, water, and stuffed animals. The laboratory session allows veterinary students to practice lesion identification, isolation, aspiration, and successful preparation. Subsequent submission of the collected sample involves being able to expel and spread the sample on a slide and proper labeling. While the simulation experience was initially developed for a short course with 12 students, it has recently been incorporated into the required clinical pathology clinical year rotation for up to 100 fourth-year veterinary students. The model is inexpensive and efficient and allows for technique development and immediate instructor assessment and feedback. }, number={4}, journal={Journal of Veterinary Medical Education}, publisher={University of Toronto Press Inc.

Suitable point of care analyzers can allow for rapid delivery of results, but small patient size can inhibit sufficient sample collection. This study evaluated the utility of sample dilution with sterile distilled water as a means of biochemical evaluation when sample volume is limited. Blood was collected from 12 eastern box turtles (Terrapene carolina carolina) and 12 marine toads(Rhinella marinus) and analyzed via i-STAT CHEM8+ cartridges. Two undiluted samples and two samples diluted 1 : 1 with sterile water were evaluated immediately following collection for each animal in the study. Analytes reported in the diluted samples were limited to glucose, ionized calcium, and total carbon dioxide. The expected dilution ratio value of diluted to undiluted samples was 0.5, of which glucose in both turtles and toads was nearest. Dilution ratio values for ionized calcium, however, were higher than expected in both turtles and toads. Sample dilution is not recommended for most analytes included on the CHEM8+ cartridge due to values occurring outside the limits of detection for the analyzer. Glucose and ionized calcium values obtained on diluted samples should be interpreted with caution but may provide clinical utility in reptile and amphibian patients where sample volume is limited.}, journal={Veterinary Medicine International}, publisher={Hindawi Limited}, author={Griffioen, John A. and Stowe, Devorah M. and Trosclair, Macy and Minter, Larry J. and Vanetten, Chelsey and Harrison, Tara M.}, year={2020}, month={Aug}, pages={1–7} } @article{stowe_schoenfeld-tacher_royal_neel_2021, title={Evaluation of Retention of Veterinary Clinical Pathology Knowledge between Second-Year and Fourth-Year Clinical Pathology Courses}, volume={48}, ISSN={0748-321X 1943-7218}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.3138/jvme-2020-0038}, DOI={10.3138/jvme-2020-0038}, abstractNote={ There is a concern over long-term retention of knowledge in professional programs. The goal of this study was to evaluate the retention of veterinary clinical pathology knowledge between the fourth-semester and fourth-year clinical pathology courses. We hypothesize that students will forget a significant amount of content area knowledge between the fourth semester and fourth year in the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) program. We further hypothesize that a review of material during the fourth-year clinical pathology rotation will help students rebuild existing knowledge and increase performance on specific test questions, between T2 (rotation pre-test) and T3 (rotation post-test). Initial mastery of course material was assessed via a 94-item multiple-choice final exam (T1) given in the semester 4 clinical pathology course. Retention of course material from semester 4 to year 4 was assessed via a 55-item multiple-choice pre-test, administered at the start of the clinical pathology rotation in year 4 while learning/mastery during the clinical rotation was assessed via a 55-item multiple-choice post-test, administered at the end of each clinical pathology rotation. In this study, evidence of knowledge retention between semester 4 and year 4 was 55.5%. There is a small increase in the measure of knowledge gain from the beginning to the end of the rotation. As an added benefit, we were able to use identified trends for retention of knowledge within specific subject areas as a mechanism to evaluate the effectiveness of our course and reallocate additional instructional time to topics with poorer retention. }, number={6}, journal={Journal of Veterinary Medical Education}, publisher={University of Toronto Press Inc.

Guidelines for optimizing assay performance and interpretation of results are limited, and concordance of results across laboratories is unknown.ObjectivesThis study aimed to determine inter‐investigator agreement on the interpretation of FC results from split samples analyzed in different laboratories using various protocols, cytometers, and software; and on the interpretation of archived FC standard (FCS) data files contributed by the different investigators.MethodsThis was a multicenter observational cross‐sectional study. Anticoagulated blood or lymph node aspirate samples from nine client‐owned dogs were aliquoted and shipped to participating laboratories. Samples were analyzed with individual laboratory‐developed protocols. In addition, FCS files from a set of separate samples from 11 client‐owned dogs were analyzed by participating investigators. A person not associated with the study tabulated the results and interpretations. Agreement of interpretations was assessed with Fleiss’ kappa statistic.ResultsProlonged transit times affected sample quality for some laboratories. Overall agreement among investigators regarding the FC sample interpretation was strong (κ = 0.86 ± 0.19, P < .001), and for specific categories, ranged from moderate to perfect. Agreement of the lymphoproliferation or other leukocyte sample category from the analysis of the FCS files was weak (κ = 0.58 ± 0.05, P < .001).ConclusionsLymphoproliferations were readily identified by FC, but identification of the categories of hematolymphoid neoplasia in fresh samples or archived files was variable.

Normally expressed only in fetal or gametogenic tissues, CTAs are tantalizing immunotherapy targets, since autoimmunity risks appear minimal. Few prevalent CTAs have been identified in human hematologic cancers, and just two in their veterinary counterparts. We sought to discover new CTAs in canine hematologic cancers such as histiocytic sarcoma (HS) and lymphoma to foster immunotherapy development. To accomplish this, the ligandome binding the dog leukocyte antigen (DLA)‐88*508:01 class I allele overexpressed in an HS line was searched by mass spectrometry to identify possible CTA‐derived peptides, which could serve as CD8+ T‐cell epitopes. Twenty‐two peptides mapped to 5 human CTAs and 12 additional proteins with CTA characteristics. Expression of five promising candidates was then evaluated in tumour and normal tissue by quantitative and end‐point RT‐PCR. The ortholog of an established CTA, IGF2BP3, had unexpectedly high expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Four other testis‐enhanced proteins were also assessed. AKR1E2, SPECC1 and TPX2 were expressed variably in HS and T‐cell lymphoma biopsies, but also at high levels in critical tissues, including kidney, brain and marrow, diminishing their utility. A more tissue‐restricted candidate, NT5C1B, was detected in T‐cell lymphomas, but also at low levels in some normal dog tissues. These results illustrate the feasibility of discovering canine CTAs by a reverse approach, proceeding from identification of MHC class I‐presented peptides to a comparative RNA expression survey of tumours and normal tissues.}, number={3}, journal={Veterinary and Comparative Oncology}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Nemec, Paige S. and Kapatos, Alexander and Holmes, Jennifer C. and Stowe, Devorah M. and Hess, Paul R.}, year={2019}, month={Jun}, pages={317–328} } @article{foster_jacob_stowe_smith_2019, title={Exploratory cohort study to determine if dry cow vaccination with a Salmonella Newport bacterin can protect dairy calves against oral Salmonella challenge}, volume={33}, ISSN={0891-6640 1939-1676}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/jvim.15529}, DOI={10.1111/jvim.15529}, abstractNote={AbstractBackgroundSalmonellosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in neonatal calves, often occurring before preventative vaccines can be administered.Hypothesis/ObjectiveTo evaluate the protective effect on calves of colostrum from cows vaccinated with a commercially available Salmonella Newport bacterin against a Salmonella Typhimurium challenge.AnimalsTwenty Holstein bull calves from a university dairy farm.MethodsNonrandomized placebo‐controlled trial in which colostrum was harvested from 30 cows that received 2 doses of either Salmonella bacterin or saline before calving. Colostrum collected from each group was pooled and fed to 2 groups of 10 calves at birth. At approximately 2 weeks of age, calves were challenged with Salmonella Typhimurium. Clinical, hematologic, microbiological, and postmortem findings were compared between the 2 groups.ResultsNo differences in mortality, clinical findings, hematology results, blood and fecal cultures, or necropsy findings between the 2 groups were observed. Vaccinated cows had higher colostral titers, and calves fed this colostrum had higher serum titers (mean difference, 0.429; mean [SE], 0.852 [0.02] for vaccinated versus 0.423 [0.02] for control calves).Conclusions and Clinical ImportanceTransfer of colostral immunoglobulins from Salmonella enterica serotype Newport bacterin to neonatal calves was not sufficient to decrease mortality, clinical signs, sepsis, intestinal damage, or fecal shedding when exposed to a highly pathogenic Salmonella isolate. A large‐scale randomized controlled clinical trial is needed to evaluate the efficacy of this bacterin when administered in the dry period for prevention of salmonellosis in neonatal calves.}, number={4}, journal={Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Foster, D. and Jacob, M. and Stowe, D. and Smith, G.}, year={2019}, pages={1796–1806} } @article{mochizuki_sherrick_mastromauro_stowe_2019, title={What is your diagnosis?

Radiographs of the right stifle revealed a multiloculated lytic lesion of the distal femur, with a large open lytic zone centrally, numerous osseous septations peripherally, and focal areas of cortical thinning and loss. An aspirate of the right distal femoral lesion yielded mildly cloudy serosanguineous fluid. Cytologic examination of the fluid revealed a pleomorphic population of discrete cells that exhibited marked anisocytosis and anisokaryosis and a variable nuclear‐to‐cytoplasmic (N:C) ratio, which were interpreted as probable neoplastic cells, with few macrophages, and evidence of hemorrhage. Given the clinical signs of pain, lesion size, and concern for malignant neoplasia, amputation of the right hind limb was performed. Histologically, the lesion had undulating walls 1‐3 mm thick with a continuous outer layer of dense fibrous tissue and an inner layer composed of reactive cancellous bone with no cortical compacta remaining. Remnants of thin fibrous or fibro‐osseous septa projected from the bony wall into the cyst lumen. The final histologic diagnosis was a benign multiloculated solitary (unicameral) bone cyst of the distal right femur. Based on the histopathologic findings, it was speculated that the cells identified on cytology were a mixture of developing osteoclasts, osteoblasts, endothelial, and stromal cells. This is the first report describing the cytologic examination of a solitary bone cyst in veterinary medicine.}, number={3}, journal={Veterinary Clinical Pathology}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Roode, Sarah C. and Shive, Heather R. and Hoorntje, Willemijn and Bernard, Jennifer and Stowe, Devorah M. and Pool, Roy R. and Grindem, Carol B.}, year={2018}, month={May}, pages={484–488} } @article{stowe_bidwell_patel_2016, title={What is your diagnosis?
