Neutering of cats has been associated with significant weight gain in the weeks following surgery. The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a moderate fat, low-energy dry expanded diet in reducing weight gain in growing pet cats when fed as part of a weight-control regimen over the 6 months post-neutering. Cats in participating primary care veterinary hospitals were enrolled at ...

We present a model-based approach to gait extraction that is capable of reliable operation on real-world imagery. Hierarchies of shape and motion are employed to yield relatively modest computational demands, avoiding the high-dimensional search spaces associated with complex models. Anatomical data is used to generate shape models consistent with normal human body proportions. Mean gait data i...

OBJECTIVE To describe engagement along the HIV continuum of care using a large network of clinics in Zambia. METHODS We employed a practical framework to describe retention along the HIV treatment cascade, using routinely collected clinical data available in resource-constrained settings. We included health facilities in four Zambian provinces with more than 300 enrolled patients over the age...
