In small animals, clinical leptospirosis is a significant problem in dogs, but the role of leptospires in feline disease is still poorly understood. Pathogenic leptospires are maintained in the environment through the shedding of organisms in the urine of a wide variety of endemically infected mammalian reservoir hosts. These reservoir hosts usually do not develop clinical disease, but serve as a source infection for incidental hosts, such as dogs and humans. There are few reports of clinical leptospirosis in cats, but it has been shown that cats can seroconvert to lepto-spiral organisms, and there is some evidence that cats may shed lepto spires in the urine.

The disease is associated with a high morbidity and mortality and its pathogenesis is unknown. Affected dogs have a significantly increased likelihood of concurrent diagnosis of hyperadrenocorticism, hypothyroidism, and hyperlipidemia. Whether these endocrinopathies represent coincidental primary disease processes that exacerbate gallbladder mucocele formation in predisposed dogs or reflect a concurrent disruption of endocrine and lipid metabolism is unclear. In this study, we investigated a hypothesis that dogs with gallbladder mucocele formation would have a high prevalence of occult and atypical abnormalities in adrenal cortical and thyroid gland function that would suggest the presence of endocrine disruption and provide deeper insight into disease pathogenesis. We performed a case-control study of dogs with and without ultrasonographic diagnosis of gallbladder mucocele formation and profiled adrenal cortical function using a quantitative mass spectrometry-based assay of serum adrenal-origin steroids before and after administration of synthetic cosyntropin. We simultaneously profiled serum thyroid hormone concentrations and evaluated iodine sufficiency by measurement of urine iodine:creatinine ratios (UICR). The studies were complemented by histological examination of archival thyroid tissue and measurements of thyroid gland organic iodine from dogs with gallbladder mucocele formation and control dogs. Dogs with gallbladder mucocele formation demonstrated an exaggerated cortisol response to adrenal stimulation with cosyntropin. A prevalence of 10% of dogs with gallbladder mucocele formation met laboratory-based criteria for suspect or definitive diagnosis of hyperadrenocorticism. A significantly greater number of dogs with gallbladder mucocele formation had basal serum dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEAS) increases compared to control dogs. A high percentage of dogs with gallbladder mucocele formation (26%) met laboratory-based criteria for diagnosis of hypothyroidism, but lacked detection of anti-thyroglobulin antibodies. Dogs with gallbladder mucocele formation had significantly higher UICRs than control dogs. Examination of thyroid tissue from an unrelated group of dogs with gallbladder mucocele formation did not demonstrate histological evidence of thyroiditis or significant differences in content of organic iodine. These findings suggest that dogs with gallbladder mucocele formation have a greater capacity for cortisol synthesis and pinpoint DHEAS elevations as a potential clue to the underlying pathogenesis of the disease. A high prevalence of thyroid dysfunction with absent evidence for autoimmune thyroiditis suggest a disrupted thyroid hormone metabolism in dogs with gallbladder mucocele formation although an influence of non-thyroidal illness cannot be excluded. High UICR in dogs with gallbladder mucocele formation is of undetermined significance, but of interest for further study.}, number={2}, journal={PLOS ONE}, publisher={Public Library of Science (PLoS)}, author={Aicher, Kathleen M. and Cullen, John M. and Seiler, Gabriela S. and Lunn, Katharine F. and Mathews, Kyle G. and Gookin, Jody L.}, editor={Loor, Juan J.Editor}, year={2019}, month={Feb}, pages={e0212638} } @article{young_oh_williams_foster_miller_lunn_mowat_2018, title={Clinical therapeutic efficacy of mycophenolate mofetil in the treatment of SARDS in dogs-a prospective open-label pilot study}, volume={21}, ISSN={["1463-5224"]}, DOI={10.1111/vop.12545}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={6}, journal={VETERINARY OPHTHALMOLOGY}, author={Young, Whitney M. and Oh, Annie and Williams, Jonathan G. and Foster, Melanie L. and Miller, William W. and Lunn, Katharine F. and Mowat, Freya M.}, year={2018}, month={Nov}, pages={565–576} } @article{wormhoudt_boss_lunn_griffin_leary_dowers_rao_larue_2018, title={Stereotactic radiation therapy for the treatment of functional pituitary adenomas associated with feline acromegaly}, volume={32}, ISSN={0891-6640}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/jvim.15212}, DOI={10.1111/jvim.15212}, abstractNote={BackgroundConventional fractionated radiotherapy has been shown to be partially effective for management of pituitary tumors in cats that cause acromegaly and diabetes mellitus (DM), but, the efficacy and safety of stereotactic radiation therapy (SRT) as a treatment for acromegalic cats has not been described.}, number={4}, journal={Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Wormhoudt, Tiffany L. and Boss, Mary-Keara and Lunn, Katharine and Griffin, Lynn and Leary, Del and Dowers, Kristy and Rao, Sangeeta and LaRue, Susan M.}, year={2018}, month={Jul}, pages={1383–1391} } @inproceedings{talley_zimmer_bolotnov_2016, title={Coalescence prevention algorithm for level set method}, DOI={10.1115/fedsm2016-7608}, abstractNote={The application of interface tracking methods to bubbly flow modeling has grown in recent years due to improvements in computing performance and development of more efficient solvers.

Both CT and MRI were performed on cadavers of four healthy cats, as well as on five radiotherapy patients with feline acromegaly. Contours of the optic apparatus were drawn for each imaging study. The volume, center of mass, and the degree of concordance and mismatch were determined for each, and compared with a reference standard.

The caudal margin of the optic chiasm and the optic tracts were difficult to confidently contour regardless of which imaging modality and/or sequence was used.

Because rapid and accurate detection of infection is critical to the diagnosis and control of CIV, the 2 main objectives of the current study were to estimate and compare the sensitivities of CIV testing methods on canine swab samples and to evaluate the performance of Flu Detect™ (Synbiotics Corp., Kansas City, MO) for detecting CIV nasal shedding in high-risk shelter dogs. To address the first objective, nasal and pharyngeal swab samples were collected from 124 shelter and household dogs seen by Colorado State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital clinicians for canine infectious respiratory disease between April 2006 and March 2007 and tested for CIV shedding using virus isolation, the rapid influenza diagnostic test Directigen Flu A+B™ (BD Diagnostic Systems, Sparks, MD), and real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). For the second objective, 1,372 dogs with unknown respiratory health status were sampled from 6 U.S. shelters from December 2009 to November 2010. Samples were tested for presence of CIV using real-time RT-PCR and Flu Detect. Using a stochastic latent class modeling approach, the median sensitivities of virus isolation, rapid influenza diagnostic test, and real-time RT-PCR were 72%, 65%, and 95%, respectively. The Flu Detect test performed poorly for detecting CIV nasal shedding compared to real-time RT-PCR. In conclusion, the real-time RT-PCR has the highest sensitivity for detecting virus nasal shedding and can be used as a rapid diagnostic test for CIV. }, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF VETERINARY DIAGNOSTIC INVESTIGATION}, author={Pecoraro, Heidi L. and Spindel, Miranda E. and Bennett, Susi and Lunn, Katharine F. and Landolt, Gabriele A.}, year={2013}, month={May}, pages={402–406} } @article{quimby_lunn_2013, title={Mirtazapine as an appetite stimulant and anti-emetic in cats with chronic kidney disease: A masked placebo-controlled crossover clinical trial}, volume={197}, ISSN={1090-0233}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/J.TVJL.2013.05.048}, DOI={10.1016/J.TVJL.2013.05.048}, abstractNote={Cats with chronic kidney disease (CKD) often experience inappetence and vomiting and might benefit from the administration of mirtazapine, a medication with appetite stimulant and anti-nausea properties. The aim of this placebo-controlled, double-masked crossover clinical trial was to evaluate the effects of mirtazapine on bodyweight, appetite and vomiting in cats with CKD. Eleven cats with stable CKD were randomized to receive 1.88 mg mirtazapine or placebo orally every other day for 3 weeks. After a 4 day washout period, each cat crossed over to the alternate treatment for 3 weeks. Physical examinations and serum biochemistry profiles were performed before and after each treatment period and owners kept daily logs of appetite, activity, behavior, and vomiting episodes. Compared to placebo, mirtazapine administration resulted in a statistically significant increase in appetite (P = 0.02) and activity (P = 0.02) and a statistically significant decrease in vomiting (P = 0.047), as determined by Wilcoxon matched pairs analysis. Cats treated with mirtazapine also gained significant bodyweight compared with placebo-treated cats (P = 0.002) as determined by linear mixed model analysis. Median weight gain during mirtazapine administration was 0.18 kg (range 0–0.45 kg). Median weight loss during placebo administration was 0.07 kg (range 0–0.34 kg). Mirtazapine is an effective appetite stimulant and anti-emetic for cats with CKD and could be a useful adjunct to the nutritional management of these cases.}, number={3}, journal={The Veterinary Journal}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Quimby, J.M. and Lunn, K.F.}, year={2013}, month={Sep}, pages={651–655} } @inbook{lunn_page_2013, title={Tumors of the Endocrine System}, ISBN={9781437723625}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/b978-1-4377-2362-5.00025-6}, DOI={10.1016/b978-1-4377-2362-5.00025-6}, booktitle={Withrow and MacEwen's Small Animal Clinical Oncology}, publisher={Elsevier}, author={Lunn, Katharine F. and Page, Rodney L.}, year={2013}, pages={504–531} } @inbook{lunn_2012, place={St. Louis, MO}, edition={4th Edition}, title={Fever}, ISBN={9781416061304}, booktitle={Infectious Diseases of the Dog and Cat}, publisher={Elsevier}, author={Lunn, K.F.}, editor={Greene, C.E.Editor}, year={2012}, pages={1115–1123} } @inbook{lunn_johnson_james_2012, title={Fluid Therapy}, ISBN={9781437706604}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/b978-1-4377-0660-4.00005-3}, DOI={10.1016/b978-1-4377-0660-4.00005-3}, booktitle={The Cat}, publisher={Elsevier}, author={Lunn, Katharine F. and Johnson, Anthony S. and James, Katherine M.}, year={2012}, pages={52–89} } @article{quimby_smith_lunn_2011, title={Evaluation of the Effects of Hospital Visit Stress on Physiologic Parameters in the Cat}, volume={13}, ISSN={1098-612X 1532-2750}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jfms.2011.07.003}, DOI={10.1016/j.jfms.2011.07.003}, abstractNote={Physiologic parameters such as blood pressure, rectal temperature, heart rate, and respiratory rate are an important part of the medical assessment of a patient.

While studies suggest that CIV is commonly detected in shelter dogs, little is known about its prevalence in household dogs. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the seroprevalence of CIV in pet dogs presented for care in a veterinary hospital in Colorado and to investigate risk factors that might predispose these dogs to CIV infection. ANIMALS One hundred and forty dogs presenting to the Community Practice service, 110 dogs seen at other clinical services at Colorado State University's Veterinary Teaching Hospital in 2009, and samples from 75 dogs seen before 2004. METHODS In this prospective study, samples were tested with hemagglutination inhibition assays, using 3 CIV isolates. To identify risk factors for CIV infection, 140 owners completed questionnaires at time of sampling. RESULTS CIV seroprevalence was 2.9% (4/140) for dogs seen by the Community Practice service and 4.5% (5/110) for dogs seen by other hospital services (P=.48). All sera collected before 2004 tested negative for CIV. No differences were seen in antibody titers to the 3 CIV isolates tested. Data from the questionnaires indicated an association between CIV seropositivity and canine daycare visits (P<.001). CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE CIV seropositivity in household dogs in Colorado is low, although it has increased since 2004. Antibody titers to the 3 CIV isolates were comparable, suggesting that measurable antigenic drift has not yet occurred. Finally, dogs boarded in kennels or attending daycare might be at an increased risk of CIV infection.}, number={6}, journal={Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Barrell, E.A. and Pecoraro, H.L. and Torres-Henderson, C. and Morley, P.S. and Lunn, K.F. and Landolt, G.A.}, year={2010}, month={Oct}, pages={1524–1527} } @article{burr_lunn_yam_2009, title={Current perspectives on canine leptospirosis}, volume={31}, ISSN={0263-841X 2042-7689}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/inpract.31.3.98}, DOI={10.1136/inpract.31.3.98}, abstractNote={LEPTOSPIROSIS has been recognised as a significant disease of dogs throughout the world for almost a century.

To improve on conventional diagnostic tests for EHV-1, a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique was developed, using primers and probes specific for the EHV-1 gB gene. Amplification efficiencies of 100% ± 5% were obtained for DNA isolated from a plasmid, infected peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and nasal secretions from infected ponies. The dynamic range of the assay was 8 log10 dilutions, and the lower limit of detection was 6 DNA copies. Fifteen ponies, seronegative for EHV-1, were experimentally infected with EHV-1, and nasal samples were used to quantify shedding of virus by both virus isolation and real-time PCR analysis. Virus isolation identified nasal shedding of EHV-1 in 12/15 ponies on a total of 25 days; real-time PCR detected viral shedding in 15/15 ponies on 75 days. Viremia was quantified using PBMC DNA, subsequent to challenge infection in 3 additional ponies. Viremia was identified in 1/3 ponies on a single day by virus isolation; real-time PCR detected viremia in 3/3 ponies on 17 days. When real-time PCR was used to analyze PBMC DNA from 11 latently infected ponies (documented by nested PCR), EHV-1 was not detected. We conclude that real-time PCR is a sensitive and quantitative test for EHV-1 nasal shedding and viremia and provides a valuable tool for EHV-1 surveillance, diagnosis of clinical disease, and investigation of vaccine efficacy. }, number={4}, journal={Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation}, publisher={SAGE Publications}, author={Hussey, Stephen B. and Clark, Rodney and Lunn, Katharine F. and Breathnach, Cormac and Soboll, Gisela and Whalley, J.

Quantitative and qualitative electron microscopic studies of myelin development and oligodendrocyte morphology were used to describe the temporal development of the defect in this mutant, in three regions of the CNS. The results indicate that the time of onset of myelination is similar in mutant and control rats, however the amount of myelin formed is reduced in the mutant, compared to controls, and there is a loss of myelin from the taiep CNS as the animals age. Thus the myelination defect in taiep has features of both hypomyelination and demyelination. Oligodendrocyte microtubule abnormalities were noted in each region of the taiep CNS at the time of onset of myelination. The earliest changes seen were close associations of oligodendrocyte microtubules with endoplasmic reticulum, with marked accumulations of microtubules filling the cytoplasm of oligodendrocytes from older taiep rats. These findings suggest that the microtubule abnormality in the taiep mutant inhibits both the initial formation and the long-term maintenance of myelin by the oligodendrocyte. In addition, there is also evidence to suggest that although the microtubule abnormality is present in oligodendrocytes throughout the taiep CNS, it results in a more marked defect in the myelination of axons of small diameter.}, number={5}, journal={Journal of Neurocytology}, publisher={Springer Science and Business Media LLC}, author={Lunn, K.

Because the development of neuronal morphology is known to depend on the presence of highly organized microtubule arrays, it may be hypothesized that the properties of microtubules influence the form and function of oligodendrocytes. The goals of the present study were to define the physical attributes of microtubules in oligodendrocytes maintainedin vitro. The results of electron and confocal microscopy indicate that microtubules are present throughout the cell bodies and large and small processes of oligodendrocytes and are rarely associated with discrete microtubule-organizing centers. A modified “hooking” protocol demonstrated that the polarity orientation of microtubules is uniformly plus-end distal in small oligodendrocyte processes, compared with a nonuniform, predominantly plus-end distal orientation in large processes. Oligodendrocytes were exposed to the microtubule-depolymerizing drug nocodazole to examine microtubule stability in these cells. The results suggest that oligodendrocyte microtubules can be resolved into at least three distinct microtubule populations that differ in their kinetics of depolymerization in the presence of nocodazole. These findings suggest that the properties of the oligodendrocyte microtubule array reflect the functions of the different regions of this highly specialized cell.}, number={13}, journal={The Journal of Neuroscience}, publisher={Society for Neuroscience}, author={Lunn, Katharine F. and Baas, Peter W. and Duncan, Ian D.}, year={1997}, month={Jul}, pages={4921–4932} } @article{lunn_fanarraga_duncan_1995, title={Myelin mutants: New models and new observations}, volume={32}, ISSN={1059-910X 1097-0029}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/jemt.1070320303}, DOI={10.1002/jemt.1070320303}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={3}, journal={Microscopy Research and Technique}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Lunn, Katharine F. and Fanarraga, Monica L. and Duncan, Ian D.}, year={1995}, month={Oct}, pages={183–203} } @article{duncan_nadon_hoffman_lunn_csiza_wells_1995, title={Oligodendrocyte survival and function in the long-lived strain of the myelin deficient rat}, volume={24}, ISSN={0300-4864 1573-7381}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/bf01191211}, DOI={10.1007/bf01191211}, abstractNote={This study has examined cellular and molecular aspects of glial cell function in a newly described long-lived myelin deficient rat mutant. In contrast to the shorter-lived mutants which died at 25-30 days, the longer-lived mutant rats lived to 75-80 days of age. Despite living longer, these mutants had a similar frequency of seizures to their younger counterparts. In the spinal cord and optic nerves of the older mutants, myelinated fibres in similar numbers to those seen in the younger myelin deficient rats were present. However, the total glial cell numbers were markedly reduced with few remaining normal appearing oligodendrocytes, and very few microglia compared to the younger mutants. In addition, little or no cell death or division was seen in the longer-lived rats. However, there was some evidence of ongoing myelination and the persistence of immature oligodendrocytes or their progenitors in the older mutant. There was some continued myelin gene expression, although this was at much reduced levels compared to normal, with proteolipid protein and myelin basic protein being most affected. In situ hybridization analysis for proteolipid protein mRNA showed that few proteolipid protein expressing oligodendrocytes remained in the 70-80-day-old mutant. Polymerase chain reaction analysis of exon 3 of the long-lived mutant revealed the same point mutation as described in the younger myelin deficient rat.}, number={10}, journal={Journal of Neurocytology}, publisher={Springer Science and Business Media LLC}, author={Duncan, I.

At two months of age, myelin is present throughout the spinal cord, but is immature in the fasciculus gracilis and corticospinal tracts despite the presence of abundant oligodendrocytes. By 12 months, myelin has largely been lost in these spinal cord tracts and also in more rostral parts of the CNS, such as the cerebellum and optic nerves. Other funiculi of the spinal cord show a more diffuse lack of myelin. Oligodendrocytes develop a unique cellular abnormality, most obviously in older rats, which is characterized by the accumulation of microtubules throughout their cytoplasm. As the mutant rats age, there is a continued protracted breakdown of myelin throughout the CNS, with evidence suggesting either persistent hypomyelination or attempts at remyelination of affected axons. It is proposed that the microtubular defect in oligodendrocytes results in a disruption of the normal myelination process in certain areas of the CNS of this mutant, and eventually leads to failure of maintenance of the myelin sheath.}, number={12}, journal={Journal of Neurocytology}, publisher={Springer Science and Business Media LLC}, author={Duncan, I.

Light and electron microscopy revealed Schwann cell and myelin degeneration in the sciatic nerves at each age studied. These changes were similar to those described in weanling rats as a result of Te intoxication. In the CNS, hypomyelination of the optic nerves was convincingly demonstrated at 14, 21, and 28 days of age, accompanied by some evidence of myelin degeneration. These changes were also seen in the ventral columns of the cervical spinal cords, although less markedly, and were confirmed by quantitative methods. There was little evidence of oligodendrocyte pathology in the CNS, and it appears that degeneration of these cells is not the primary cause of the CNS hypomyelination, in contrast to the PNS where Schwann cell degeneration has been shown to precede the myelin pathology.}, number={3}, journal={Acta Neuropathologica}, publisher={Springer Science and Business Media LLC}, author={Jackson, K.

Labelling indices in the md optic nerves were significantly higher than control values at 16-25 days. Oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, microgliacytes and unclassified cells were labelled in both normal and md rats. The mutants showed higher percentages of labelled astroglia and microglia, and the labelled oligodendroglia appeared immature when compared to the normal animals. Md optic nerves showed significantly higher counts of necrotic cells than controls at 14-30 days. Electron microscopy revealed the presence of abnormal oligodendrocytes, characterized by distended rough endoplasmic reticulum and a dilated perinuclear envelope, from 6 days of age in the mutant. These cells appear to degenerate and die. These results suggest a defect in the md rat oligodendrocyte, resulting in a protracted uptake of thymidine and increased cell death.
