Norby co-authors article in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association
Bo Norby, a FAZD Center principal investigator, co-published with three authors an article in the Nov. 1, 2008 issue of the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association entitled, "Associations between dietary factors and pancreatitis in dogs."
Norby is an assistant professor of epidemiology at Texas A&M University's College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, and is a member of the FAZD Center's Information Analysis Systems team.
The co-authors gathered and analyzed medical information on 198 dogs with a clinical diagnosis of pancreatitis and 187 control dogs with a diagnosis of renal failure without clinical evidence of pancreatitis.
"Results suggested that dietary factors, being neutered, and previous surgery other than neutering increased the odds of pancreatitis in dogs," according to the article's abstract.
