Summary Reasons for performing study: Improved understanding of the epidemiology atypical myopathy (AM) will help to define environmental factors that permit or support causal agent(s) exert toxicity. Objectives: This European survey AM aimed describe spatiotemporal distribution, survival, clinical signs, circumstances in which develops and its different expressions between countries over time. Methods: The history features cases reported Atypical Myopathy Alert Group from 2006 2009 were...
Summary This case report describes a Thoroughbred broodmare referred for colic and pyrexia. The mare had history of repeated urinary tract infections, placentitis, abortion endotoxaemia. A diagnosis bilateral subcapsular renal haematoma was made by ultrasonography standing laparoscopy confirmed on post‐mortem. Neoplasia an active clotting disorder were ruled out as cause the bleeding. However, histopathology revealed severe, diffuse, acute fibrinosuppurative tubulointerstitial nephritis with...
Abstract Objective To investigate the in vitro efficacy of antibiotics (amikacin, ceftiofur, and gentamicin) combination with local anesthetics (LAs; bupivacaine hydrochloride, lidocaine mepivacaine hydrochloride), a commonly performed for IA injectate regional limb perfusion (RLP) horses. Methods 17 equine clinical isolates were tested by checkerboard method their minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against concentrations LAs from August 2020 through December 2023. Results For majority...
Summary Reasons for performing study: Appropriate management of atypical myopathy (AM) requires the establishment an accurate diagnosis and prognosis. Furthermore, preventive measures to avoid AM need be refined. Objectives: The aims study were as follows: 1) improve AM; 2) identify prognostic predictors; 3) refine recommended based on indicators risk factors. Methods: An exploratory analysis cases in Europe between 2006 2009 reported Atypical Myopathy Alert Group was conducted. Based...
Abstract Objectives – The aim of this study is to describe the prevalence postoperative laminitis in colic cases and determine if low‐molecular‐weight heparin (LMWH) effective preventing complication. Design Retrospective clinical study. Animals Client‐owned horses. Interventions SC administration enoxaparin during period. Measurements Main Results Medical records 360 horses undergoing surgery for surviving at least 3 days were evaluated. Fifty‐six admitted before 1995 did not receive LMWH...
Abstract Osteochondrosis (OC) is a developmental disease that affects growing horses and severely their ability to perform. The genetic basis of its pathogenesis poorly understood. aim the study was analyze transcript profile leukocytes from affected with OC. Two transcriptome libraries were constructed OC‐affected non–OC‐affected using digital gene expression analysis (DGE) real‐time PCR. Statistical allowed selection 1,008 tags upregulated in group 1,545 group. Among these genes, 16...
To assess current habits for surgical hand preparation among veterinary specialists and to compare data with guidelines asepsis techniques.Survey of specialists.Diplomates the American (ACVS) European Colleges Veterinary Surgeons (ECVS).An internet-based survey methods before procedures was conducted 1300 listed ACVS ECVS Diplomates.A 42.6% response rate obtained. Approximately, 80% respondents use disinfecting soaps as a primary method antisepsis. Of those, 81% chlorhexidine-based scrubs 7%...
Foot pain is an important cause of lameness in horses. When horses with foot have no detectable radiographic abnormalities, soft‐tissue assessment remains a diagnostic challenge without magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Ultrasonography can provide alternative to MR imaging when that modality not available but the extent changes might be seen has been characterized. We reviewed ultrasonographic findings 39 responding positively anesthesia palmar digital nerves and radiographically osseous...
Few reports are available on the relationship between developmental orthopaedic diseases (DOD) and future performances in Warmblood horses.To investigate performance presence of DOD lesions.Records stallions for which radiographic data were collected. Showjumping expressed as scores derived from final ranking horses each competition. These an established database. The findings both number was analysed using a linear regression model.Two hundred fifteen met inclusion criteria. There no...
Summary Temporomandibular joint ( TMJ ) pathology is a rarely reported cause of decreased performance among equine athletes or at least seldom recognised. This case report describes the work‐up high level dressage horse with performance. was suspected based on computed tomography CT and responded very well to treatment.
Summary Background Paranasal sinus cysts ( PSC ) are a common cause of equine secondary sinusitis. The outcome and associated complications have not been frequently reported. Objectives To review the clinical signs, morbidities outcomes horses treated for . Study design Retrospective multicentre case series. Methods analysis records telephone follow up survey. Results Subjects were 37 1–24 years old that presented with nasal discharge (n = 31), facial swelling 25) epiphora 19). Radiography...
Abstract Objective To describe clinical data of hospitalized adult equids and foals with tetanus. Design Multicenter retrospective study (2000–2014). Setting Twenty Western, Northern, Central European university teaching hospitals private referral centers. Animals One hundred fifty‐five (>6 months) 21 (<6 Interventions None. Measurements Main Results Information on geographic, annual seasonal data, demographic‐ management‐related history, examination blood analysis admission,...
Abstract The wear of a novel temporomandibular joint (TMJ) prosthesis was evaluated in an animal model. consisted additively manufactured titanium alloy (Ti 6 Al 4 V) mandibular condyle and glenoid fossa created through selective laser melting, with machined vitamin E‐enriched ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) surface attached to the fossa. Thirteen TMJ were implanted sheep, six which had condylar heads coated HadSat® diamond‐like carbon (H‐DLC). Euthanasia took place after...
Radial extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is widely used in equine practice for the treatment of orthopedic problems. However, its original use as a lithotripsy device human and canine urology led us to postulate that it could be an alternative surgical urethral calculi horses.Radial ESWT can easily safely fragment distal urethra horse.Two postmortem cases 1 live case obstructive urinary disease admitted at Veterinary Teaching Hospital Liege.A radial was directly applied attempt...
Abstract Background – Atypical myopathy is an acute, severe rhabdomyolysis occurring in grazing horses. In the beginning of October 2009, a new outbreak occurred several European countries. Geographic, demographic and clinical data reported cases month 2009 are described. Key Findings The survival rate this was 25%. most frequently observed signs were congested mucous membranes, dyspnea, tachycardia, depression, weakness, stiffness, recumbency, trembling, sweating, myoglobinuria....
