Unilateral full-field light- and dark-adapted electroretinography was performed using a handheld device, with mydriasis and topical anaesthesia. Partial least squares effect screening analysis was performed to determine the effect of age, sex, body weight and use of anxiolytic medication on log-transformed ERG peak times and amplitudes; age and anxiolytic usage had significant effects on multiple ERG outcomes. Mixed model analysis was performed on data from dogs not receiving anxiolytic medications. {"Label"=>"RESULTS", "NlmCategory"=>"RESULTS"} In dogs not receiving anxiolytics, median age was 118 months (interquartile range 72-140 months, n = 77, 44 purebred, 33 mixed breed dogs). Age was significantly associated with prolonged peak times of a-waves (dark-adapted 3 and 10 cds/m {"sup"=>"2"} flash p < 0.0001) and b-waves (cone flicker p = 0.03, dark-adapted 0.01 cds/m {"sup"=>"2"} flash p = 0.001). Age was also significantly associated with reduced amplitudes of a-waves (dark-adapted 3 cds/m {"sup"=>"2"} flash p < 0.0001, 10 cds/m {"sup"=>"2"} flash p = 0.005) and b-waves (light-adapted 3 cds/m {"sup"=>"2"} flash p < 0.0001, dark-adapted 0.01 cds/m {"sup"=>"2"} flash p = 0.0004, 3 cds/m {"sup"=>"2"} flash p < 0.0001, 10 cds/m {"sup"=>"2"} flash p = 0.007) and flicker (light-adapted 30 Hz 3 cds/m {"sup"=>"2"} p = 0.0004). Within the Golden Retriever breed, these trends were matched in a cross-sectional analysis of 6 individuals that received no anxiolytic medication. {"Label"=>"CONCLUSIONS", "NlmCategory"=>"CONCLUSIONS"} Aged companion dogs have slower and reduced amplitude responses in both rod- and cone-mediated ERG.

The species can only be found on the north-west slopes of the highest volcano on Isabela Island and was first described to science in 2009. As part of a population telemetry study, a health assessment was authorized by the Galápagos National Park. Wild adult iguanas were captured on Wolf Volcano in September 2019 and April 2021 to record morphological and physiological parameters including body temperature, heart rate, intraocular pressures, tear formation, and infrared iris images. Blood samples were also collected and analyzed. An i-STAT portable blood analyzer was used to obtain values for base excess in the extracellular fluid compartment (BEecf), glucose (Glu), hematocrit (HctPCV), hemoglobin (Hb), ionized calcium (iCa), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2), partial pressure of oxygen (pO2), percent oxygen saturation (sO2%), pH, potassium (K), and sodium (Na). When possible, data were compared to previously published and available data for the other Galápagos iguanas. The results reported here provide baseline values that will be useful in detecting changes in health status among pink land iguanas affected by climate change, invasive species, anthropogenic threats, or natural disturbances. The collected data also provide an invaluable resource for conservation scientists planning to implement conservation strategies, like translocations, that may temporarily alter these baseline values.}, number={3}, journal={PLOS ONE}, author={Colosimo, Giuliano and Gentile, Gabriele and Vera, Carlos A. and Sevilla, Christian and Gerber, Glenn P. and Westermeyer, Hans D. and Lewbart, Gregory A.}, year={2022} } @article{ruiz-baier_taffetani_westermeyer_yotov_2022, title={The Biot-Stokes coupling using total pressure: Formulation, analysis and application to interfacial flow in the eye}, volume={389}, ISSN={["1879-2138"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.cma.2021.114384}, abstractNote={We consider a multiphysics model for the flow of Newtonian fluid coupled with Biot consolidation equations through an interface, and incorporating total pressure as an unknown in the poroelastic region.

Presumptive diagnosis is made through physical examination, exclusion of systemic/metabolic conditions, and completion of screening questionnaires by owners. Objective: This study aimed to determine whether cognitive function could be quantified in aging pet dogs, and to correlate cognitive testing with validated questionnaires and plasma neurofilament light chain (pNfL) concentration. Methods: Thirty-nine dogs from fifteen breeds were recruited (9.3 to 15.3 years). Owners completed the Canine Dementia Scale (CADES) and Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Rating scale (CCDR). Executive control and social cues were tested, and pNfL was measured with single molecule array assay. Comparisons were made between cognitive testing scores, CADES, CCDR scores, and pNfL. Results: CADES scoring classified five dogs as severe CCDS, six as moderate, ten as mild, and eighteen as normal. CCDR identified seven dogs at risk of CCDS and thirty-two as normal. Cognitive testing was possible in the majority of dogs, although severely affected dogs were unable to learn tasks. CADES score correlated with sustained attention duration (r = –0.47, p = 0.002), inhibitory control (r = –0.51, p = 0.002), detour (r = –0.43, p = 0.001), and pNfL (r = 0.41, p = 0.025). Concentration of pNfL correlated with inhibitory control (r = –0.7, p≤0.001). The CCDR scale correlated with performance on inhibitory control (r = –0.46, p = 0.005). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that a multi-dimensional approach using a combination of questionnaires, specific cognitive tests, and pNfL concentration can be used to quantify cognitive decline in aging pet dogs.}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF ALZHEIMERS DISEASE}, author={Fefer, Gilad and Panek, Wojciech K. and Khan, Michael Z. and Singer, Matthew and Westermeyer, Hans D. and Mowat, Freya M. and Murdoch, David M. and Case, Beth and Olby, Natasha J. and Gruen, Margaret E.}, year={2022}, pages={1367–1378} } @article{zibura_salmon_lopez_lascelles_westermeyer_2021, title={Glaucoma-associated pain results in mechanical sensitivity changes in dogs: A pilot study}, volume={24}, ISSN={["1463-5224"]}, DOI={10.1111/vop.12800}, abstractNote={Abstract}, journal={VETERINARY OPHTHALMOLOGY}, author={Zibura, Ashley E. and Salmon, Jacklyn H. and Lopez, Beatriz Belda and Lascelles, B.

However, there is conflicting evidence regarding the presence of antiretinal antibodies, as assessed by western blotting, in the serum of SARDS patients. Because of the possibility that antibodies recognize only conformational epitopes, we hypothesized that a more sensitive method to investigate circulating retinal autoantibodies in SARDS is immunofluorescence. Sera from 14 dogs with early SARDS, and 14 age- and breed-matched healthy control dogs were screened for circulating antiretinal IgG, IgM, IgE and IgA using indirect immunofluorescence on lightly fixed frozen sections of normal canine retina. Controls without canine serum were also performed. A nuclear counterstain was used to identify cellular retinal layers. Images were obtained using a fluorescence microscope, and 2-3 separate masked observers graded retinal layers for fluorescence staining intensity using a 0–3 scale. Total circulating IgG and IgM was assessed by radial immunodiffusion. Statistical analysis was performed using 2-way ANOVA, paired 2-tailed student's t-test and correlation analysis. Intensity of IgG staining of photoreceptor outer segments was significantly higher using serum from dogs with SARDS compared with healthy controls in 2/3 observers (P < 0.05). Intensity of IgM staining throughout the retina was higher in SARDS dogs compared to matched healthy controls (P < 0.0001), although no specific retinal layer was statistically significant. There were no differences in staining intensity for IgE or IgA. Dogs with SARDS had a comparably lower circulating IgG and higher IgM than healthy controls (P = 0.01 and 0.001 respectively) and IgG and IgM were negatively correlated (r = −0.69, P = 0.007). Despite having decreased serum IgG compared with healthy controls, circulating IgG in dogs with SARDS binds photoreceptor outer segments to a greater extent. Dogs with SARDS have a relatively higher circulating IgM than matched healthy controls. The pathogenic nature of these antibodies is unknown.}, journal={EXPERIMENTAL EYE RESEARCH}, author={Mowat, Freya M. and Avelino, Janelle and Bowyer, Ashley and Parslow, Vanessa and Westermeyer, Hans D. and Foster, Melanie L. and Fogle, Jonathan E. and Bizikova, Petra}, year={2020}, month={Apr} } @article{petritz_westermeyer_whitehead_christiansen_lohmann_lohmann_lewbart_2020, title={Effective mydriasis in juvenile loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) following topical administration of rocuronium bromide and 10% phenylephrine}, volume={23}, ISSN={["1463-5224"]}, DOI={10.1111/vop.12681}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={1}, journal={VETERINARY OPHTHALMOLOGY}, author={Petritz, Olivia A. and Westermeyer, Hans D. and Whitehead, Michelle C. and Christiansen, Emily F. and Lohmann, Kenneth J. and Lohmann, Catherine M.

Although it is difficult to learn, practice increases confidence and proficiency. Practicing ophthalmoscopy on live animals presents an additional level of complexity, so we sought to evaluate how students would respond to practicing ophthalmoscopy on an ocular fundus model. We constructed a simple and inexpensive model and allowed half of the students (49/100) in a first-year veterinary medicine class to practice ophthalmoscopy (direct, PanOptic, and indirect) for 20 minutes using the model. Students completed a questionnaire regarding ease of use, enjoyment, and recommendations for future use of the model immediately after the practice session. Six weeks later, we tested students’ ability to correctly match a fundus to a photograph using indirect ophthalmoscopy. All students who used the model rated it as ‘easy’ or ‘somewhat easy’ to use. All students reported that they ‘enjoyed’ (93.9%) or ‘somewhat enjoyed’ (6.1%) using the model. Also, all students who used the model stated the models should continue to be used to aid student learning. Students who used the model were significantly more likely ( p = .013) to correctly match a fundus photograph to the fundus being observed than students who had not used the model. These findings demonstrate that the model used in this study is well received by students and results in discernible gains in proficiency. }, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF VETERINARY MEDICAL EDUCATION}, author={Westermeyer, Hans D. and Druley, Gail E. and Royal, Kenneth D. and Mowat, Freya M.}, year={2019}, pages={518–522} } @article{young_zheng_davidson_westermeyer_2019, title={Visual outcome in cats with hypertensive chorioretinopathy}, volume={22}, ISSN={["1463-5224"]}, url={https://doi.org/10.1111/vop.12575}, DOI={10.1111/vop.12575}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={2}, journal={VETERINARY OPHTHALMOLOGY}, author={Young, Whitney M. and Zheng, Chaowen and Davidson, Michael G. and Westermeyer, Hans D.}, year={2019}, month={Mar}, pages={161–167} } @article{mowat_royal_westermeyer_2018, title={Ophthalmoscopy skills in primary care: a cross-sectional practitioner survey}, volume={182}, ISSN={["2042-7670"]}, url={https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.104569}, DOI={10.1136/vr.104569}, abstractNote={Ophthalmoscopy is challenging to master. Medical professionals regularly practising ophthalmoscopy exhibit greater confidence1–3 and competence.4 Methods practised in veterinary medicine include direct, PanOptic and indirect ophthalmoscopy (Fig 1). Direct ophthalmoscopy is relatively straightforward, but its utility is diminished by a narrow field of view, limiting the ability to visualise the entire fundus during examination, although its use can complement other methods by providing a magnified view of a detected lesion. The PanOptic ophthalmoscope provides a wider field of view, intermediate between direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy. Indirect ophthalmoscopy is arguably the most technically challenging method (requiring optimal orientation of light source, lens and eye), but allows visualisation of a wide fundus area5 facilitating quick identification of lesions during short periods in which an animal’s eye is still. Indirect ophthalmoscopy use by primary care veterinary practitioners is low compared with direct ophthalmoscopy, although no studies have confirmed this speculation. This limited use of indirect ophthalmoscopy could impair detection of ophthalmic diseases with focal or multifocal manifestation that may not be immediately obvious from the small fields of view visible with direct ophthalmoscopy. Since in some cases of systemic illness ophthalmic manifestations may be the only changes present on physical examination, inability to perform comprehensive funduscopic examination may result in delay in diagnosis and poorer patient outcomes. …}, number={15}, journal={VETERINARY RECORD}, publisher={BMJ}, author={Mowat, Freya M. and Royal, Kenneth D. and Westermeyer, Hans D.}, year={2018}, month={Apr}, pages={435-+} } @article{cannizzo_lewbart_westermeyer_2017, title={Intraocular pressure in American Bullfrogs (Rana catesbeiana) measured with rebound and applanation tonometry}, volume={20}, ISSN={["1463-5224"]}, url={https://doi.org/10.1111/vop.12463}, DOI={10.1111/vop.12463}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={6}, journal={VETERINARY OPHTHALMOLOGY}, author={Cannizzo, Sarah A. and Lewbart, Gregory A. and Westermeyer, Hans D.}, year={2017}, month={Nov}, pages={526–532} } @article{smith_westermeyer_mariani_gilger_davidson_2017, title={Optic neuritis in dogs: 96 cases (1983-2016)}, volume={21}, ISSN={1463-5216}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/vop.12528}, DOI={10.1111/vop.12528}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={5}, journal={Veterinary Ophthalmology}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Smith, Sara M. and Westermeyer, Hans D. and Mariani, Christopher L. and Gilger, Brian C. and Davidson, Michael G.}, year={2017}, month={Dec}, pages={442–451} } @article{sherman_cullen_westermeyer_grindem_gilger_2016, title={Histiocytic chorioretinitis in a dog}, volume={21}, ISSN={1463-5216}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/vop.12421}, DOI={10.1111/vop.12421}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={1}, journal={Veterinary Ophthalmology}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Sherman, Amanda B. and Cullen, John M. and Westermeyer, Hans D. and Grindem, Carol and Gilger, Brian C.}, year={2016}, month={Aug}, pages={88–95} } @article{chow_westermeyer_2016, title={Retrospective evaluation of corneal reconstruction using ACell Vet (TM) alone in dogs and cats: 82 cases}, volume={19}, ISSN={["1463-5224"]}, url={https://doi.org/10.1111/vop.12294}, DOI={10.1111/vop.12294}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={5}, journal={VETERINARY OPHTHALMOLOGY}, author={Chow, Derek W.

Physical examination and radiographs revealed severe edema of the head and face that was cranial to a circumferential, midcervical constriction caused by scarring related to previous removal of a foreign body. Surgical en bloc resection of the cicatricial tissue was performed, and clinical signs resolved completely after 2 months. Histopathology showed ongoing inflammation and hairs within a fibrous band. This case emphasizes that incomplete wound debridement may lead to excessive fibrous tissue proliferation and that thorough wound examination and debridement should be performed after removing circumferential cervical foreign bodies to ensure complete healing.}, number={1}, journal={Journal of the American Animal Hospital Association}, publisher={American Animal Hospital Association}, author={Westermeyer, Hans D. and Tobias, Karen M. and Reel, Danielle R.}, year={2009}, month={Jan}, pages={48–51} } @article{westermeyer_kado-fong_maggs_2008, title={Effects of sampling instrument and processing technique on DNA yield and detection rate for feline herpesvirus-1 via polymerase chain reaction assay}, volume={69}, ISSN={0002-9645}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.2460/ajvr.69.6.811}, DOI={10.2460/ajvr.69.6.811}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={6}, journal={American Journal of Veterinary Research}, publisher={American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA)}, author={Westermeyer, Hans D. and Kado-Fong, Helen and Maggs, David J.}, year={2008}, month={Jun}, pages={811–817} }
