Abstract The common hippopotamus ( Hippopotamus amphibius ) shares a terrestrial ancestor with whales (Cetacea) and has independently evolved similar physiological adaptations to their aquatic lifestyle. Although several studies have explored the electrical signalling in whale hearts, understanding of conduction system activation heart remains sparse. We set out map within determine sequence activation, including mean axis ventricular activation. ECGs were recorded from three anaesthetized...
Multi-frequency BIA (mfBIA) equipment has been shown to be a non-invasive and reliable method assess muscle as whole or at fibre level. In the equine world this may future of assessment training condition injury. The aim study was test if mfBIA reliably can used horse's muscles in connection with health assessment, injury both re-training. measurements carried out on 10 'hobby' horses 5 selected cases known anamnesis. Impedance, resistance, reactance, phase angle, centre frequency, membrane...
Abstract Fascia in the veterinary sciences is drawing attention, such that physiotherapists and animal practitioners are now applying techniques based on concept of fascia studies humans. A comprehensive study therefore needed animals to understand arrangement fascial layers an unguligrade horse a digitigrade dog. This has examined difference between dog at specific regions, terms histology, compared it with human model. Histological examinations show general tissue exhibits tight dense...
The Purkinje fibers convey the electrical impulses at much higher speed than working myocardial cells. Thus, distribution of network is paramount importance for timing and coordination ventricular activation. are found in subendocardium all species mammals, but some mammals also possess an intramural fiber that provides relatively instantaneous, burst-like activation entire wall, gives rise to rS configuration lead II ECG.To relate topography horse heart histology conduction system pattern...
The cardiac conduction system in large carnivores, such as the African lion (Panthera leo), represents a significant knowledge gap both veterinary science and electrophysiology. Short QT intervals have been reported from zoo-kept, anaesthetized lions, our goal was to record first ECGs wild, conscious lions roaming freely, compare them zoo-kept under hypothesis that short is unique lions. Macroscopic histological examinations were performed on heart tissue removed nine healthy zoo recorded 15...
Summary Obesity has reached epidemic proportions globally and become the cause of several major health risks worldwide. Presently, more than 100 loci have been related to obesity metabolic traits in humans by genome‐wide association studies. The complex genetic architecture behind triggered a need for development better animal models rodents. pig emerged as very promising biomedical model study human traits. In this study, we characterized expression patterns six obesity‐related genes,...
The precise functional role of connective tissue, and especially that myofascia, remains largely unexplored. With this in mind, the present study has chosen to focus on an improved understanding interconnected web fascia formed by tissue throughout whole body, with particular consideration force transmission, biomechanics body contractility. specific aim was reveal inter-connective functionality locomotory system a mammal other than humans, namely horse.Dissections horses (n=26) were...
This study aimed at looking the frequency (T-score) and amplitude (S-score) of fiber use during contraction a forearm muscle, m. palmaris longus, as measured by acoustic myography (AMG). An additional aim was to relate T- S-scores recorded force obtained from hand dynamometer. The hypothesis being that temporal spatial summation muscle in given movement, can together describe force. Force measurements were carried out on 12 healthy human subjects aged 19–68 years (6 men & 6 women), while...
Transport in the colon of domestic fowl switches from sodium-linked hexose and amino acid cotransport on high-salt intake to amiloride-sensitive sodium channel expression low-salt (LS) diets. The present experiments were designed investigate role aldosterone suppression colonic sodium-glucose luminal cotransporter (SGLT). LS-adapted hens resalinated with or without simultaneous treatment. Changes electrophysiological responses SGLT protein levels examined at 1, 3, 7 days Serum fell ∼400...
Back pain is a common condition in horses, yet despite this, quantitative assessments of the efficacy treatment are scarce. Mechanical nociceptive thresholds (MNTs) and acoustic myography (AMG) recordings were obtained, both preinterventionand postintervention, from left right epaxial muscles eight healthy general riding horses (mean age 17 ± 6 yrs). Using an algometer, MNT readings taken at each preselected points along thoracolumbar M. longissimus gluteus medius region. AMG while walking,...
Background: Measurable sources of muscle tension include viscoelastic tone, physiological contracture, voluntary contraction, and spasm, if left untreated, they can over a period time result in clinical pain as direct increased myofascia tension. Typically, physiotherapy is used to stretch affected muscles, thereby reducing motor neuron excitability, consequence give the patient sensation correct posture movement, facilitating normal movement patterns. However, cases documented therapy...
