Research Project

The research project for this MVM will involve investigating the use of ketamine perioperatively in dogs undergoing orthopaedic surgery. Using quantitative sensory testing methods, the development of hypersensitivity will be compared. The project will also investigate current practices in relation to ketamine usage in orthopaedic practice.

Informal enquiries, in the first instance, should be made to Kerry.Woodhouse@glasgow.ac.uk or Pamela.Murison@glasgow.ac.uk

Resident MVM project summary:

The project will assess the usefulness of RUNX1 as a potential biomarker for cardiac disease in patients treated with the cytotoxic drug Doxorubicin. Doxorubicin is cardiotoxic and assessment of heart function by echocardiography is part of clinical management, although blood cardiac biomarkers such as troponins and proBNP are variably increased with longterm Doxorubicin use. Runx1 is a transcription factor expressed in heart following cardiac damage and Runx1 protein levels are increased in the serum of human patients following myocardial infarction. Runx1 has not been investigated previously as a cardiac biomarker in dogs, but could prove useful as a clinical tool.

Informal enquiries, in the first instance, should be made to Professor Jo Morris, e-mail: Joanna.Morris@glasgow.ac.uk
