A SPRINT TO SAVE A LIFE. Paddy, a 20-year-old quarter horse, was in dire shape when he arrived at #NCStateVetMed in severe abdominal pain caused by strangulation of his small intestine. Veterinarians jumped in to save his life, and now Paddy is back to spending quality riding time with his owner. Read their story using the link in our bio.
PROBLEM: Only 6% of U.S. veterinarians work in academia, and veterinary colleges worldwide are struggling to fill academic positions.
OUR SOLUTION: #NCStateVetMed`s Veterinary Academic Leaders Program helps residents prepare for academic careers, focusing on research, teaching and professional skills.

ICYMI: MOO-VING ON UP. The new, state-of-the-art dairy barn on the #NCStateVetMed campus is done, and the cows have moo-ved in! The facility boasts a modern waste-disposal system, hydraulic gates, data-collecting technology (aka cow “Fitbits”), misting sensors and industrial fans that keep the space 20 degrees cooler than outside. How are the cows feeling about these upgrades? We decided to ask them. Read more about the facility using the 🔗 in our bio.
WHAT YOU MISSED: Yesterday, during our largest ever Annual CVM Research Forum and Litwack Lecture, students and researchers showcased 109 posters and 46 oral presentations! Faculty members served as judges for the poster session and oral presentations. The entire #NCStateVetMed community was also invited to vote in the research image competition. We caught up with a couple students to see what they were working on - watch below and read more about the event using the link in our bio.
FINDINGS ON FOALS: In 2 to 5% of live equine births, the foals have trouble breathing, nursing and standing, and the ones who can get up often wander around aimlessly. Suspicions about the causes of neonatal maladjustment syndrome are numerous, but no one has pinpointed the culprit. Dr. Javier Perez Quesada, an #NCStateVetMed resident in equine internal medicine, has been working on that with the help of Dr. Katarzyna Dembek. Quesada will present his research at the annual Litwack Research Forum today. Learn more about the study at the link in our profile. #equineresearch #NMS #dummyfoals
INVESTIGATING INFECTION: Which patients are more likely to contract bacterial infections in human hospitals? #NCStateVetMed Ph.D. student Umang Joshi and Dr. Cristina Lanzas, a professor of infectious disease, teamed up to answer this question. They used AI to model data from four hospitals in a major U.S. city and determined a link between sociodemographic factors and the diagnosis of health care-associated infections.
Joshi will present his research at the College of Veterinary Medicine’s annual Litwack Research Forum on Wednesday. Learn how his and Lanzas` study can help address health care disparities in the Q&A linked in our bio.
