This study shows that post-surgical opioid use and surgery itself impair airway protection in cats, increasing aspiration pneumonia risk.

This study investigates how acute cervical spinal cord injury affects laryngeal and swallow function in animal models, finding increased laryngeal drive and altered diaphragm activity during swallow.

This paper develops a 3D multiplane kinematic model for analyzing hind limb gait in cats, showing it can quantify rotational and flexion-extension movements more accurately than sagittal plane models.
