Abstract Background In veterinary medicine, conventional radiography is the first–choice method for most diagnostic imaging applications in both small animal and equine practice. One direction its development integration of bone density evaluation artificial intelligence–assisted clinical decision–making, which expected to enhance streamline veterinarians’ daily practices. such decision–support k–means clustering, a machine learning data mining technique that can be used clinically classify...
Uterine diseases stand as the primary cause of infertility in mares; however, diagnostic process often relies on obtaining endometrial biopsies and their hematoxylin–eosin staining. This review seeks to present variability uterine changes impact fertility underscore utility special stains, such Masson trichrome, picrosirius red, elastica van Gieson, or periodic acid–Schiff, enhancing breadth. Connective tissue evaluation cervix is discussed, it subjected cyclic overall fertility. Vascular...
Purpose: The aim of the study was to compare efficacy Nordic pole walking (NPW) training with traditional treadmill (TT) on a claudication (CD) and maximum distance (MWD) in patients peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Method: Patients intermittent (IC) (n = 70; age=68.27) Fontaine class II were randomized into two three-month rehabilitation programs performed three times per week. TT finished by 31 patients, NPW 21. Walking capacity measured an exercise test (ETT) Gardner–Skinner protocol...
Osteoarthritis (OA) of the tarsal joint, also known as bone spavin, is a progressive joint disease that increases in severity with age. It significant cause hind limb lameness, leading to deterioration quality life horses, particularly old In this study, joints 20 older horses aged 15 35 years were radiographically imaged and processed using computed digital absorptiometry (CDA) method for mineral density (BMD) assessment. The radiological signs spavin scored on scale ranging from normal (0)...
Complete fractures of the third metacarpal bone (MC III) diaphysis pose a significant clinical challenge, prompting advanced veterinary medicine to utilize constitutive and biomechanical modeling better understand behavior. This study aims compare elastic modulus MC III cortical bone, supported by measurements thickness relative density, across dorsal, lateral, medial, palmar aspects III, as well evaluate bone’s response compressive forces applied in different directions. Given structure can...
Abstract Proximal phalanx (P1) fractures in horses are relatively common, and present significant treatment challenges, especially when the comminuted or infected. An innovative approach includes attaching an external fixator to third metacarpal bone (MC III), healthy above fracture, offload injured P1 protect it from load–bearing forces, particularly during post–surgical standing up. This study aims develop favourable mathematical numerical models for screws configuration this fixator. Nine...
Blood testing is one of the most important ways to improve performance, facilitate recovery and monitor training endurance race horses. However, little known about physical activity-dependent changes blood parameters in horses used for pleasure riding schools. This study aimed perform routine tests monitoring sport three different horse types use. Then values indicators were compared between school, find similarities profile. The was carried out on 15 endurance, school healthy who underwent...
Infrared thermography (IRT) was applied as a potentially useful tool in the detection of pregnancy equids, especially native or wildlife. IRT measures heat emission from body surface, which increases with progression blood flow and metabolic activity uterine fetal tissues increase. Conventional imaging is promising; however, specific limitations considered, this study aimed to develop novel digital processing methods for thermal images pregnant mares detect earlier higher accuracy. In...
As the detection of horse state after exercise is constantly developing, a link between blood biomarkers and infrared thermography (IRT) was investigated using advanced image texture analysis. The aim study to determine which combinations RGB (red-green-blue), YUI (brightness-UV-components), YIQ (brightness-IQ-components), HSB (hue-saturation-brightness) color models, components, features are related effect. Twelve Polish warmblood horses underwent standardized tests for six consecutive...
The paranasal sinuses, a bilaterally symmetrical system of eight air-filled cavities, represent one the most complex parts equine body. This study aimed to extract morphometric measures from computed tomography (CT) images head and implement clustering analysis for computer-aided identification age-related variations. Heads 18 cadaver horses, aged 2-25 years, were CT-imaged segmented their volume, surface area, relative density frontal sinus (FS), dorsal conchal (DCS), ventral (VCS), rostral...
Abstract Background: As high-performance human and equine athletes train compete at the highest level of effort, prevention high-performance-cased diseases, such as osteoarthritis (OA), requires knowledge anatomy physiology subjected bones. Objective: Implementation scaled–pixel–counting protocol to quantify radiological features anatomical structures normal tarsal joint first step in joints OA sport horses. Methods: A radiographic examination was performed six cadaverous pelvic limbs. The...
Since donkey breeding has increased due to their variety of uses, welfare evaluation become more important. This study aimed compare donkey, pony, and horse dorsal profiles head shapes using geometric morphometrics (GM). Photographs 14 donkeys, ponies, horses were analyzed GM, including the sliding semilandmarks method. The variations in first three principal components (PCs) PC1: 57.16%, PC2: 16.05%, PC3: 8.31% for 44.77%, 13.46%, 7.66% shapes. Both differed between donkeys (p < 0.0001) but...
A treadmill is an important tool in the equine analysis of gait, lameness, and hoof balance, as well for evaluation horse rehabilitation or poor performance including dynamic endoscopy. Before all these uses, horses have to be habituated a locomotion. We used principal component evaluate relationship between aspects horse's temperament emotional response, progress behavioral habituation treadmill. Fourteen were tested, by same familiar handler, using novel object test, handling both positive...
Infrared thermography (IRT) is a valuable diagnostic tool in equine veterinary medicine; however, little known about its application to donkeys. This study aims find patterns thermal images of donkeys and horses determine if these share similarities. The carried out on 18 16 horses. All equids undergo imaging with an infrared camera measurement the skin thickness hair coat length. On class maps each image, fifteen regions interest (ROIs) are annotated then combined into 10 groups ROIs...
Infrared thermography is a non-invasive technique which allows to distinguish between pregnant and non-pregnant animals. Detecting accurate body surface temperatures can be challenging due external factors altering thermograph measurements. This study aimed determine the associations ambient temperature, hair coat features of mares' abdomens. It compared mares throughout 11 months. The research was carried out on 40 Konik Polski mares, were divided into groups. temperature (Tmax, maximal;...
Appropriate matching of rider-horse sizes is becoming an increasingly important issue riding horses' care, as the human population becomes heavier. Recently, infrared thermography (IRT) was considered to be effective in differing effect 10.6% and 21.3% rider:horse bodyweight ratio, but not 10.1% 15.3%. As IRT images contain many pixels reflecting complexity body's surface, pixel relations were assessed by image texture analysis using histogram statistics (HS), gray-level run-length matrix...
Uterine myoactivity is crucial for successful reproductive performance of the sow. Spontaneous contractions uterus are strictly controlled and coordinated. electromyographic (EMG) activity undergoes hormonal regulation with rapid long-term effects. What more, interstitial Cajal-like Cells (ICLC) appear essential smooth muscle contractility in tract where they suspected to be playing a major role generating, coordinating, modulating synchronizing slow triggering waves.
