{"title":"Pathological and Clinicopathological Features of Canine and Feline Bladder Disease","authors":"Emily Jones","doi":"10.53060/PRSQ.2021.A1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.53060/PRSQ.2021.A1","url":null,"abstract":"Dogs and cats commonly present to veterinary hospitals with urinary bladder disease, but despite their clinical importance and comparative potential to human diseases, bladder diseases in Australian dogs and cats are under investigated. In veterinary pathology, insufficient levels of diagnostic agreement can occur, and this is influenced by sample quality as well as the pathologist’s own experience, training, and cognitive biases. Logistic regression is a statistical technique which, when applied to veterinary histopathology, could improve pathologist agreement. Thus, there were two overarching goals of this thesis - to investigate the pathology and comparative potential of canine and feline urinary bladder disease in Australia, and to explore the utility of logistic regression modelling in improving inter-pathologist agreement.This project conducted a retrospective evaluation of pathology cases of canine and feline urinary bladder tissue from the veterinary pathology archives of the University of Queensland School of Veterinary Science and Murdoch University’s School of Veterinary and Life Sciences, with prospective sampling from veterinary clinics and a commercial veterinary pathology service in South East Queensland. The demographics of the dataset were examined using proportionate morbidity and logistic regression to identify associations between animal factors and the diagnosis. Secondly, a comprehensive histological evaluation was undertaken of every sample, with logistic regression modelling performed to identify associations between histological variables and diagnosis. Thirdly, a subset of canine and feline diseased and normal bladder tissue samples was tested for biomarker expression using immunohistochemistry and polymerase chain reaction. This combined approach tested if retrospective samples were of sufficient quality, and when validated provided quantity as well as cellular location of the target biomarkers. To further investigate the comparative potential of feline idiopathic cystitis (FIC), a systematic review was conducted on biomarkers in bladder pain syndrome (BPS) compared to FIC, following the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Finally, to investigate the role of logistic regression modelling in veterinary pathologist agreement, the modelling of histological variables was used to formulate a predictive probability tool which we then tested on four pathologists evaluating the same set of twenty-five slides, with diagnostic agreement evaluated using the Fleiss kappa statistic.The main findings from the demographic analysis were a higher risk of bladder neoplasia in dogs compared to cats, increasing risk for bladder neoplasia with age, and decreased risk for cystitis in neutered animals. Next, logistic regression modelling on the histology dataset of canine and feline urinary bladder tissue from Eastern and Western Australia identified six significant variables that3were assoc","PeriodicalId":40055,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society of Queensland","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70765112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"An Appraisal of the Queensland Flora Survey Guidelines for Protected Plants, Through a Survey of Ipomoea antonschmidii, a Near Threatened Plant of the Northwest Highlands Bioregion","authors":"P. Williams, Bree C. Clouten","doi":"10.53060/prsq.2021.5","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.53060/prsq.2021.5","url":null,"abstract":"The Flora Survey Guidelines for Protected Plants are the basis for pre-clearing assessments of Threatened or Near Threatened flora listed under the Queensland Nature Conservation Act 1992. They require targeted searches for listed plants in designated ‘high risk areas’. High risk areas are based on a 2 km radius of a herbarium specimen collection site or a vetted sighting record, with extensions to the 2 km radius using habitat modelling for some species. High risk areas only cover approximately 2.1% of Queensland, encompassing a higher proportion of South East Queensland and the Wet Tropics compared with other bioregions. This paper describes a survey method interpreting the Queensland Flora Survey Guidelines, which was used to evaluate Ipomoea antonschmidii, a Near Threatened plant of the Northwest Highlands. We found the timed meander survey method described in the Guidelines provided a useful approach for detecting I. antonschmidii. However, high risk areas do not adequately cover I. antonschmidii, as 84% of the locations where it was detected in 2011, prior to the amended legislation, are currently outside any high risk area. It is important for botanists and ecologists to be aware of the need for replicating specimen and sightings data over the scale of only a kilometre to improve high risk area maps across the state. Further assessment is required to test and refine modelled habitats of rare flora that contribute to high risk areas. Suggestions of interpretation and refinements of the Guidelines are provided, including the reinstatement of suitable non remnant areas into high risk areas, and a pathway for emerging plant ecologists to become suitably qualified to lead protected plant surveys.","PeriodicalId":40055,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society of Queensland","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70765043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Concentrations of the trace element strontium in primate teeth have been used as a proxy to estimate this transition. An influential model posits that strontium levels (relative to calcium) should be low during initial nursing due to limited strontium in milk, increase with the introduction of solid foods that contain higher amounts of strontium, peak at the cessation of suckling, and slowly decline as the gut begins discriminating against strontium in favour of calcium. This study tests this model by assessing trace elements in 13 human and non-human primate first molars (M1) with laser-ablation, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Only 54% of M1s had a peak in strontium immediately after the cessation of suckling, and none of these showed a subsequent decline in strontium. Alternative approaches are needed for inferring the weaning ages and life histories of ancient marsupials.","PeriodicalId":40055,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society of Queensland","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70765618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
