Hyperinsulinaemia is the suspected component of insulin dysregulation having strongest association with laminitis and occurs variably in equids pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID).We hypothesised that magnitude hyperinsulinaemia correlates severity PPID-affected equids. Furthermore, we owners can be unaware chronic endocrinopathic laminitis.Cross-sectional study.Serum concentrations, owner-reported history radiographic evidence were determined 38 client-owned horses ponies confirmed...
Summary Background Tumours of the oral cavity in horses are rare, and because they not easily visible, their diagnosis is often delayed. Different types equine tongue tumours have been described, but information about clinical signs, treatments outcomes very limited. Objectives To identify with a confirmed antemortem tumour to document presentation, treatment outcome. Study design Retrospective multicentre study. Methods Medical records (1997–2024) from eight specialty or referral practices...
Summary Background Injury resulting in proliferative new bone formation on the dorsal aspect of middle phalanx (P2) has been recognised by equine veterinarians and is generally referred to as capsulitis. However, no retrospective case series published condition. Objectives To describe clinical features, treatment, outcome this Study design Case ( n = 19). Methods Clinical cases which horse presented for lameness was diagnosed with acute P2 diaphysis were included study (cases collected from...
Bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) initiate immune response through Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). Because many a times host is confronted with secondary bacterial challenges, it critical to understand TLR4 expression following initial provocation. We studied in rats at various after intra-tracheal instillation of LPS. Although mRNA was undetectable normal lungs, increased 6h and 12h declined 36h post-LPS treatment. Western blots showed protein all time points. Immunohistochemistry localized...
By study of the translocation and deformation equine menisci throughout range motion, it may be possible to identify potential mechanical factors in pathogenesis injury cranial horn medial meniscus.To quantitatively document meniscal using radiographic MR imaging, evaluate for variation between lateral menisci.Radiographic markers were embedded periphery 6 cadaver stifles. Proximal-distal radiographs taken at 15° intervals ranging from full flexion (30°) extension (160°). Magnetic resonance...
Objective To evaluate the magnitude and distribution of joint contact pressure on medial tibial condyle after grade III cranial horn tears meniscus. Study Design Experimental study. Animals Cadaveric equine stifles ( n = 6). Methods were mounted in a materials testing system electronic sensors placed between Specimens loaded parallel to longitudinal axis tibia 1800 N at 130°, 140°, 150°, 160° stifle angle. Peak area recorded from maps. Testing was repeated surgical creation tear meniscus,...
Summary Reason for performing the study: To identify potential functional‐anatomical characteristics of cranial horn attachment medial meniscus (MM) that may help explain pathogenesis common tear patterns have been reported. Hypothesis: Full extension stifle generates a significant increase in tensile forces within meniscotibial ligament (CrMTL) MM, which predispose this structure to injury. Methods: The effect femorotibial angle (160°, 150°, 140° and 130°) on axial abaxial components CrMTL...
The conventional arthroscopic approach to the palmar/plantar aspect of distal interphalangeal joint (DIPJ) may result in inadvertent penetration digital flexor tendon sheath (DFTS) and navicular bursa (NB). This iatrogenic communication would be undesirable subsequent lavage a septic DIPJ.A lateral/medial DIPJ will significantly lower rate DFTS NB, whilst still providing adequate intra-articular evaluation.The or novel was performed on cadaver fore- hindlimbs (30 limbs/approach)....
Background : Injury resulting in proliferative new bone formation on the dorsal aspect of middle phalanx (P2) has been recognised by equine veterinarians and is commonly referred to as capsulitis. Objectives Describe clinical features, treatment options, outcomes this condition. Study Design Case series (n=19) Methods Clinical cases which horse presented for lameness was diagnosed with acute P2 were included study (cases collected from 2005-2022). Signalment, history, presenting signs,...
