Exploring the Relationship between Temporal Fluctuations in Satellite Nightlight Imagery and Human Mobility across Africa
(MDPI, 2023-08-30)Mobile phone data have been increasingly used over the past decade or more as a pretty reliable indicator of human mobility to measure population movements and the associated changes in terms of population presence and ... -
Hemophagocytic syndrome in a cat with Mycoplasma haemofelis infection
(Wiley, 2023-04)A six-year-old, castrated male domestic shorthair cat was presented for a week-long history of lethargy, acute anorexia, and adipsia. On presentation, the cat was weak with pale mucous membranes, open-mouth breathing, and ... -
Environmental Stability of Enveloped Viruses Is Impacted by Initial Volume and Evaporation Kinetics of Droplets
(American Society for Microbiology, 2023-04)Efficient spread of respiratory viruses requires the virus to maintain infectivity in the environment. Environmental stability of viruses can be influenced by many factors, including temperature and humidity. Our study ... -
A Comparison of Dobutamine, Norepinephrine, Vasopressin, and Hetastarch for the Treatment of Isoflurane-Induced Hypotension in Healthy, Normovolemic Dogs
