Temporomandibular Joint Replacement (Tmjr) Prosthesis For Dogs And Cats

Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have developed a 3D-printed implant for dogs and cats for treating TMJ ankylosis. The device can accommodate any sized animal and is produced with biocompatible materials with high stress/strain resistance.

Anti-microbial, Immune-modulating, Naturally-derived Adjunctive Therapies

Researchers at the University of California, Davis have developed adjunctive therapies applicable to multiple types of infectious conditions. These therapies – derived from compounds found in natural herbs - also have potential prophylactic efficacy.

Non-Antibiotic, Treatment for Recurrent UTIs in Canines

Researchers at the University of California, Davis have developed a biologic treatment for mitigating pain and treating acute urinary tract infections (UTIs) in canines.

Monoclonal Antibodies Specific to Canine PD-1 and PD-L1

Researchers at the University of California, Davis have developed monoclonal antibodies with multiple applications relevant to canine PD-1 and PD-L1.

Machine Learning Program that Diagnoses Hypoadrenocorticism in Dogs Using Standard Blood Test Results

Researchers at the University of California, Davis have developed a program based on machine learning algorithms to aid in diagnosing hypoadrenocorticism.

Applying a Machine Learning Algorithm to Canine Radiographs for Automated Detection of Left Atrial Enlargement

Researchers at the University of California, Davis have developed a method of detecting canine left atrial enlargement as an early sign of mitral valve disease by applying machine learning techniques to thoracic radiograph images.

Diagnostic Marker for Chondrodystrophy and Intervertebral Disk Disease Susceptibility in Canines

Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have developed a diagnostic method to identify dogs that are at risk for chondrodystrophy and/or intervertebral disc disease.

A New Pharmaceutical Therapy Target for Depression and Other Central Nervous System Diseases

Researchers at the University of California, Davis have discovered a new signal pathway involved in depression. This could be a potential target of pharmacological treatment of central nervous system disease and specially depression in man and companion animals. The technology could be best practiced with soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitors, which have high oral bioavailability, good pharmacokinetics, picomolar potency, low toxicity and CNS activity.

Fractal RF Coils for Use in High Field MRI (>3T) Resulting in High Resolution Images

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine have designed a fractal shaped RF coil for magnetic resonance (MR) image acquisition that effectively reduces interference commonly associated with coil loops (such as the birdcage coil) that are in close proximity. Limiting coil interference enables an increase in the flexibility of phased array design and reduces the need for additional system components to cancel out signal noise.

Synthetic Platelets (SynPlats) to Treat Internal & External Bleeding

      Biomaterial nano-particles that mimic the key structural and functional attributes of platelets and have been shown to greatly reduce bleeding time both internally and externally.

Novel Imaging Technique Combines Optical and MR Imaging Systems To Obtain High Resolution Optical Images

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine have developed a novel high resolution imaging technique, referred to as Photo-Magnetic Imaging (PMI), that combines the abilities of optical and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging systems. Images are created with PMI by heating tissue with a light (e.g. laser) and measuring the resulting temperature change with MR Thermometry. This change in temperature can then be related to a tissue’s absorption, scattering, and metabolic properties. PMI addresses the limitations of current optical imaging techniques by providing a repeatable, non-contact, high resolution optical image with increased quantitative accuracy. This technique can be used for a wide-range of applications including but not limited to imaging of small animals for research purposes. This technique may also be used in imaging the tissue and organs of a patient.
