Research News and Information
Definition of 'Animals'Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain Eukarya.

Further validation of a pruritus severity scale for use in dogs.
17 Dec 2009
A scale to assess the severity of pruritus in dogs was further validated. Comparison of the scale with one containing visible numerical markings demonstrated that owners were heavily influenced by the presence of numbers, resulting in a loss of the ... Read more...
Genetic complexity of absence seizures in substrains of C3H mice.
15 Dec 2009
Absence epilepsy is a common form of idiopathic generalized epilepsy whose etiology is poorly understood because of genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity. The inbred mouse strain C3H/He exhibits spontaneous absence seizures characterized by spike and ... Read more...
Pulmonary toxocariasis masquerading as metastatic tumor nodules in a child with osteosarcoma.
13 Dec 2009
A 14-year-old male, who completed chemotherapy following limb salvage surgery for osteosarcoma approximately 2 years ago, was seen for routine follow-up. A CT scan revealed new scattered multifocal nodular lesions. An ultrasonography-guided ... Read more...
