Multifunctional cellulose hydrogel‐derived plastics (FCBPs) are fabricated via a novel molecular network engineering strategy involving epoxy cross‐linking, solvent exchange, and hot‐pressing techniques. The resulting materials exhibit high mechanical strength, excellent thermal/solvent resistance, stable fluorescence, complete biodegradability, and ...

Gut‐microbiota‐brain Axis and post‐traumatic epilepsy
Abstract There has been growing evidence that perturbations in gut‐microbiota‐brain axis (GMBA) are involved in mechanisms of chronic sequelae of traumatic brain injury (TBI). This review discusses the connection between GMBA and post‐traumatic epilepsy (PTE), the latter being a common outcome of TBI.

Review of articular cartilage repair techniques and their application in the horse
Abstract Articular cartilage lesions represent a significant career‐limiting problem in athletic horses. A healthy articular cartilage surface is vital for optimal joint function, and defects can result in irreversible degenerative changes. Successful treatment of cartilage lesions remains a long‐standing challenge for orthopaedic surgeons, prompting ...

Air pollution exposure during training impairs performance in Thoroughbred racehorses
Abstract Background Ambient air pollution contributes substantially to human morbidity and mortality, and athletes are recognised as a particularly vulnerable group. However, little is known about the impact of air pollution on equine athletes. Objectives To explore the relationship between air pollution exposure during the pre‐competition training ...

Composition of allogeneic equine orthobiologics and their repeated intra‐articular administrations
Abstract Background Orthobiologics such as platelet‐rich plasma (PRP) and alpha‐2‐macroglobulin (A2MG) are increasingly used for equine musculoskeletal injuries. However, their composition and safety with repeated allogeneic intra‐articular administration remain poorly investigated.

Abstract Background The prevalence of insulin dysregulation (ID) has not been investigated in sport horses. Stall‐side insulin assays offer convenience but need further validation. Objectives To determine the prevalence of and risk factors for ID in a sport horse population using an oral sugar test (OST) and assess agreement between stall‐side and ...
