About Research at AMC

Research is a fundamental component of the Schwarzman Animal Medical Center’s founding mission. AMC is proud to advance veterinary medicine by pioneering new discoveries and progressive treatments. Through our Caspary Research Institute, AMC veterinarians work to understand the origins of diseases, to develop preventive measures, and ultimately to achieve cures. AMC doctors conduct clinical investigations of naturally occurring diseases in pets, often in collaboration with physicians studying the same illnesses in humans, to enable more effective diagnoses, advance medical and surgical treatments, and prevent disease in animals and humans alike.

Science in Service: AMC Studies Advance Care for Police and Service Dogs

In addition to providing excellent patient care and training the next generation of veterinarians, the Schwarzman Animal Medical Center studies naturally occurring diseases in the patients we care for in hopes of finding more effective treatments. As one of the world’s largest animal hospitals, we have several unique patient populations available for study, such as working dogs like seeing eye dogs and police dogs. In 2024, AMC veterinarians published two peer-reviewed articles focused on working dogs. I’ll discuss their findings below.

No link between gastropexy and mesenteric volvulus in police dogs. Gastropexy is a common prophylactic procedure performed in police dogs to prevent gastric dilation and volvulus, or bloat, a condition in which the stomach fills with gas then twists on itself. Large breed dogs, such as police dogs, are particularly susceptible to bloat, so preventive gastropexy is often recommended by veterinarians. However, gastropexy has also been linked to another, less common disorder, mesenteric volvulus, in which the intestines twist around their blood supply resulting in a life-threatening situation. AMC’s board-certified surgeons sought to clarify the relationship between gastropexy and mesenteric volvulus. In their article published last year, they studied 82 police dogs that had undergone gastropexy and 288 that had not. Analysis of this data did not find a link between gastropexy and mesenteric volvulus. Accordingly, veterinarians at AMC will continue to recommend gastropexy to prevent bloat.

Improved treatment for fibrotic myopathy in working dogs. The second working dog publication comes from AMC’s Tina Santi Flaherty Rehabilitation & Fitness Service. The dogs in this study were diagnosed with fibrotic myopathy, a disease of unknown cause that results in scarring of the muscles in the thigh, limiting the dog’s ability to work. AMC’s Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation specialists wanted to find non-invasive rehab modalities to extend these dogs’ working careers. These dogs received extracorporeal shockwave therapy as well as rehabilitation therapy including massage, hamstring stretch and treadmill exercise. These treatments were successful in resolving the lameness associated with fibrotic myopathy and allowing dogs to continue to work.

Behind the Scenes: AMC Veterinarians’ Work as Peer Reviewers in JAVMA

Clockwise from top left: Drs. Quesenberry, Alvarez, Ferrari, & Daniels

The April 2024 issue of the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association (JAVMA) includes a special acknowledgment of the journal’s peer reviewers. These are content experts who volunteer their time to evaluate manuscripts, ensuring they meet rigorous standards for study design, scientific methodology, and statistical analysis. Reviewers also provide constructive feedback to improve the manuscript before it is published. This meticulous work, performed anonymously, is critical to maintaining the high standards of prestigious journals like JAVMA and its sister publication, the American Journal of Veterinary Research (AJVR).

In the April 2024 issue, four members of the Schwarzman Animal Medical Center’s veterinary team—Drs. Katherine Quesenberry, Lelani Alvarez, Jonathan Ferrari, and Zoe Daniels—are recognized among the peer reviewers. These contributions reflect AMC’s dedication to advancing veterinary research, not only through our clinicians’ original studies but also by contributing to the peer-review process that ensures the quality and integrity of veterinary science industry-wide.

Dr. Leilani Alvarez’s Research Among Veterinary Surgery’s Most Read Articles

AMC’s Leilani Alvarez, DVM, DACVSMR

One measure of a publication’s impact is how often the article is read. Recently, AMC’s Dr. Leilani Alvarez received a special recognition from Veterinary Surgery, the official journal of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons, when her article, Systematic review of postoperative rehabilitation interventions after cranial cruciate ligament surgery in dogs, ranked in the top 10% of papers published in the journal in 2022 based on downloads.

The popularity of Dr. Alvarez’s research is due in part to the prevalence of cranial cruciate ligament disease, which is the leading cause of hindlimb lameness and arthritis of the canine knee. Dogs with one torn cruciate ligament frequently develop a tear in the other leg. While surgeons repair the ligament using a variety of techniques, postoperative rehabilitation therapy helps return the knee to normal function. Dr. Alvarez’s study determined therapeutic exercise and cold compression therapy to be the most useful modalities available.

Congratulations to Dr. Alvarez on this achievement!

AMC Veterinarians are Key Contributors to Landmark Internal Medicine Textbook

AMC Senior Veterinarians with the ninth edition of Ettinger’s Textbook of Veterinary Internal Medicine (L to R: Dr. Dennis Slade, Dr. Ann Hohenhaus, Dr. Alexandra van der Woerdt, Dr. Taryn Donovan, Dr. Allyson Berent, Dr. Chick Weisse)

The ninth edition of Ettinger’s Textbook of Veterinary Internal Medicine (TVIM) was just released. This textbook is a veterinarian’s trusted resource and is considered the “bible” for internal medicine specialists. The book is extra special to AMC because the eponymous title belongs to none other than a member of AMC’s first intern class, Dr. Stephen Ettinger!

No single person could author such an imposing book. This tome comes off the shelf at an imposing 2,448 pages co-authored by dozens of veterinary experts worldwide. The book’s two volumes are divided into sections covering major topics such as heart disease, kidney disease and liver disease. Of the 22 sections within the TVIM, three current AMC Senior Veterinarians — Drs. Allyson Berent, Ann Hohenhaus and Chick Weisse — served as editors for sections entitled “Minimally Invasive Interventional Therapies,” “Hematologic and Immunologic Disease” and “Lower Urinary Tract Disease,” respectively. A fourth section editor is an AMC alumnus.

Each of the 22 sections is further divided into chapters focusing on a specific disorder, such as different types of cancer, Addison’s disease or hypoadrenocorticism and seizures. In total, the two volumes contain 331 chapters, and ten of those chapters were authored by AMC Senior Veterinarians including:

An additional 16 chapters were authored by AMC alumni, giving AMC a strong presence in this authoritative new edition.

How a Chance Encounter Led to Research Success: Highlighting the Work of Dr. Taryn Donovan

Dr. Taryn Donovan, Diplomate, ACVP Anatomic Pathology

Over the past 4 years, Dr. Donovan has been a prolific contributor to new research in veterinary medicine, serving as senior author or co-author on 18 manuscripts in her specialty of veterinary pathology. This very productive stretch started with a chance encounter at the annual meeting of the American College of Veterinary Pathologists. A colleague, not from AMC, had misspelled the name of a legendary AMC pathologist, Dr. Amiya Patnaik in a presentation, and when Dr. Donovan brought this error to the colleague’s attention, the ensuing conversation led to a research collaboration and a published article: “Mitotic Figures-Normal, Atypical, and Imposters: A Guide to Identification.”

Dr. Donovan’s unique expertise in identifying mitotic figures (cells in the process of dividing, commonly seen on cancer biopsies) also led to frequent collaborations with Dr. Christoph Bertram of the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna, Austria. Dr. Bertram’s research interests include applications of artificial intelligence in biopsy analysis, and one of their early collaborations was a paper titled “Computer-assisted mitotic count using a deep learning-based algorithm improves interobserver reproducibility and accuracy,” which showed the AI-guided algorithm was more accurate and reliable than human pathologists in assessing dividing cells in a biopsy.

Her work in cancer biopsy interpretation has also led to her participation in the standardizing of tumor biopsy evaluation and reporting and a recent call to action for the veterinary oncology community to adopt common guidelines to improve patient care worldwide.
