09/10/17 Guess who’s here to visit for a week! Meet Dot the labradoodle, my much missed dog from home. She’s already claimed my bed as her nap spot whilst I study and has got everyone in the flat totally in love with her. It’s going to be a fun week.

just audrey blythe things:

when she was a smol child, she was really annoyed by her name for the sole reason that its initials weren’t ordered properly. audrey blythe derosier. ABD. “where’s the c?” “the c?” “in my name. audrey blythe derosier --- there’s no c! you should give me another middle name so there can be a c.”

home girl has smiles for days, and they all mean something. growing up in a world of pleasantries and formalities meant that she had to learn to smile through everything. close friends will know what her different smiles translate to.

if you haven’t caught on already she is married to the rose motif.

she’s ??????????? so type a. so type a. oh dear lord. and has a perfectionist streak for miles with stuff that Matter/she cares about.

her high school gpa is like a 3.1 something something? ironically it’s the science that brought it down. she has to get help for that when she realizes she wants to go into vetsci.

she. loves. dogs. i always liked the idea of the derosier’s having a lot of hounds? like three or four bye large, lithe things that audrey grew up and ran around with.

she adopts her border collie, max, from a shelter after grad school. he’ a timid thing with an abusive history that boils audrey’s blood to thing about. but he’s extremely sweet and active, and he’s lucky she likes to go for jogs (gotta stay Fit amirite) because boy can he go. she love him more than she can put into words.

she loves her brother jonathan even more than that, which says something tbh. with twelve years between them, he really is her baby brother and she is fiercely protective. chad gets him into fencing when he’s old enough and audrey has never wanted to strangle them both so much. but the sport makes jonny happy and is good for the stress that comes as a result of his ocd.

back to the subject of animals ----- she inherited her mother’s Way with them. call it magic, call it some strange intuition, but when she was younger audrey would definitely talk to her pets and swear they spoke back. as she grew older she “grew out” of it, just assuming it was a childhood quirk. it still comes in handy in the veterinary science field, but in a more intuitive way than anything really “special ability” related. had she nurtured the thing, though.... who knows.

doesn’t like reptiles for the majority of her first twenty years, and it has everything to do with stories about maleficent. a little tiny lizard is not a fire breathing dragon, no ----- but try telling that to a five year old audrey. the fear stuck over the years. not crippling, but they give her the heebie jeebies. she learns to work around it for vocational reasons.

the fam is a musical fam. everyone sings in this family, and the house is rarely without some sort of music happening. she’s competent with a piano, though she’s no virtuoso (that’s a skill for her brother), and will tinker with it on occasion. her voice is her biggest instrument, some of her mother’s Gift For Song trickling down.

CHRISTMASES ARE LIT AF IN THE DEROSIER FAMILY. big trees, lots of decorations, lots of caroling, oh boyo. 

pretty religious, and very set in her faith. by the time she reaches her last year of high school she’s learned to navigate it and take from it what she believes in and scrap all the bigotry nonsense, but she very much believes in god. she wears a cross until college, wherein she realizes she just doesn’t need one anymore (and gets tired of having to replace them tbh), and she’s got a chastity ring that she wears until she’s married. (in most verses. there’s one where she takes it off beforehand, if only because she’s with the person for a _long ass time,_ and she’s secure in her belief that they’re the one anyway.)

Electronic Records Could Help Solve the Laminitis Mystery

Electronic Records Could Help Solve the Laminitis Mystery

More than 70% of horses diagnosed with laminitis suffered at least one recurrence.

Thanks to technology, with a few clicks of a button you can now find directions to the nearest coffee shop, get a rundown of the day’s celebrity sightings, and book a flight or shop for groceries. But one research team thinks electronic technology might have another use, one that could benefit our horses and expand the collective knowledge about one of the most feared horse health concerns: laminitis.

“We still have a lot to learn about why some horses suffer the disease and others do not,” said Claire E. Welsh, BVMS, MSc(VetSci), AHEA, PhD, MRCVS, a medical statistician at the University of Glasgow, in Scotland. She believes searching through and evaluating electronic medical records could be key to finding the answers.

Welsh said electronic medical records from first opinion equine veterinary practices (not referral hospitals, but primary practitioners seeing horses in the field) could offer new insight into laminitis and its associated risk factors. In human medicine, electronic medical records are used regularly for research, but widespread use is still relatively new in veterinary medicine.

Veterinary practices across the world are collecting and archiving electronic medical records every day. “This data source contains huge amounts of useful information on millions of horses that represents an untapped resource for research that can be used as soon as it is acquired,” she said.

Welsh acknowledged these records are not a perfect resource. To be useful, she said, accurate, detailed notes must be entered into the system.

“Veterinarians vary in how much detail they enter into medical records and in the language and abbreviations used to describe the same conditions and treatments,” she said.

Additionally, she said, “mining the data to detect diseases and treatments relies on very careful and painstaking work to identify all the possible ways the disease has been recorded, and only then can analysis of the risk factors begin.”

Despite the challenges, Welsh said she sees electronic medical records as a promising method for studying disease. For instance, in a recent study of clinical and pharmacologic risk factors for laminitis, she and colleagues examined electronic medical records from seven U.K. veterinary practices. From that data mining, the team determined that:

More than 70% of horses diagnosed with laminitis suffered at least one recurrence;

Risk factors for first and subsequent laminitis episodes varied; and

Prednisolone (a corticosteroid) use was significantly associated only with subsequent, and not initial, laminitis episodes.

Moving forward, she said, “the next steps are replication of our work in different populations to lend further confidence in our findings and implementation of the findings into practice, to hopefully reduce the number of horses suffering this painful disease.”

The study, “Disease and pharmacologic risk factors for first and subsequent episodes of equine laminitis: A cohort study of free-text electronic medical records,” was published in Preventative Veterinary Medicine.

There's not many things that unsettle me about myself, but the fact that I have a mysterious six inch long scar on my foot and no clue of why it's there is definitely one of those things.

[madwickedawesome]

i finished my vetsci & calc everyone :) Wahoo!!!!!

[aspiringvetsurgeon]

05/10/2017 First week of lectures is going well. Just trying to settle back into the routine of things at the moment. Also trying out a few different societies to see what I want to join this year as I'd love to be more involved and meet new people.
