Distal urethral obstruction in an eight‐week‐old colt with struvite urolithiasis
Summary An 8‐week‐old Thoroughbred colt presented with acute colic signs. Physical examination and transcutaneous ultrasound of the abdomen and penis revealed a urinary tract obstruction in the distal urethra due to urolithiasis. A distal urethrotomy over the site of obstruction was performed to remove the urolith and relieve the obstruction.

Abstract Background Nocardioform placentitis (NP) is an understudied form of equine placentitis historically attributed to nocardioform bacteria, yet it remains uncertain whether these organisms are the sole pathogens involved. Objectives To elucidate the pathophysiology of NP and the host–pathogen interaction. Study Design In vivo clinical multi‐omics

Efficacy of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae vaccination before and at weaning against experimental challenge infection in pigs [PDF]
Background: Commercial bacterins are widely used at weaning to control Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae infections in pigs. However, it is not known whether the efficacy of vaccinating against M.

Relapsing–Remitting Multiple Sclerosis Is Associated With a Dysbiotic Oral Microbiome
ABSTRACT Objective Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation, demyelination, and neurological impairment. While the gut microbiota's role in MS is extensively studied, the association between the oral microbiota and MS remains underexplored, particularly in North American cohorts.

Infections due to Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans
Three cases are described which show the typical range of infections which may be caused by Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans. namely an actinomycosis-like infection. a prosthetic cardiac valve endocarditrs and a post-traumatic soft-tissue infection. Cultural studies are detailed.

Optimal combinations of acute phase proteins for detecting infectious disease in pigs [PDF]
The acute phase protein (APP) response is an early systemic sign of disease, detected as substantial changes in APP serum concentrations and most disease states involving inflammatory reactions give rise to APP responses.
