EVALUATION OF OSCILLOMETRIC BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT USING A FINGER CUFF IN ANESTHETIZED CHIMPANZEES (PAN TROGLODYTES)

JOURNAL OF ZOO AND WILDLIFE MEDICINE, 54(1), 16–22.

By: K. Cassady n, J. Balko n, K. Bailey n, L. Posner n, J. Robertson n  & L. Minter n

MeSH headings : Animals; Blood Pressure / physiology; Pan troglodytes; Blood Pressure Determination / veterinary; Blood Pressure Determination / methods; Arterial Pressure; Isoflurane; Blood Pressure Monitors / veterinary
TL;DR: FBP showed good agreement with I BP for SAP, MAP, and DAP but consistently overestimated values compared with IBP, suggesting FBP may be useful for serial blood pressure monitoring in conscious chimpanzees. (via Semantic Scholar)

Effect of Prolonged Serum Storage Time and Varied Temperatures on Biochemical Values in African Savanna Elephants (<i>Loxodonta africana</i>)

JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGICAL AND BOTANICAL GARDENS, 4(1), 12–20.

By: E. Schlake n, K. Cassady n, E. Gruber n  & L. Minter n

author keywords: elephant; serum chemistry; blood storage; temperature; serum stability; Loxodonta africana
TL;DR: It is concluded that if serum is properly separated shortly after collection, many serum biochemical analytes can be accurately measured even after suboptimal serum storage, but refrigeration and prompt evaluation are still required for some analytes. (via Semantic Scholar)

2023 article

Performance of a manually operated salad spinner centrifuge for serum separation in the healthy domestic horse (Equus caballus) and southern white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum)

Cassady, K. R., Minter, L. J., & Gruber, E. J. (2023, July 26). VETERINARY CLINICAL PATHOLOGY, Vol. 7.

By: K. Cassady n, L. Minter* & E. Gruber n 

author keywords: blood; clinical chemistry; field medicine; frugal science
TL;DR: An inexpensive, manually operated centrifuge that could accept standard laboratory tubes by modifying a consumer-grade salad spinner with low-cost materials yields diagnostic quality serum suitable for the measurement of most standard biochemistry analytes. (via Semantic Scholar)

2016 journal article

A Diverse Family of Host-Defense Peptides (Piscidins) Exhibit Specialized Anti-Bacterial and Anti-Protozoal Activities in Fishes

PLOS ONE, 11(8).

By: S. Salger n, K. Cassady n, B. Reading n  & E. Noga n

MeSH headings : Amino Acid Sequence / genetics; Animals; Anti-Bacterial Agents / immunology; Antimicrobial Cationic Peptides / genetics; Antimicrobial Cationic Peptides / immunology; Disease Resistance / genetics; Disease Resistance / immunology; Fish Proteins / genetics; Fish Proteins / immunology; Fishes / immunology; Fishes / microbiology; Fishes / parasitology; Gene Expression; Immunity, Innate; Sequence Alignment
TL;DR: Four new piscidin isoforms in the hybrid striped bass are identified and their tissue distributions are described, which may help in the future development of disease-resistant lines of striped bass and white bass that could be used to produce superior hybrids for aquaculture.
