Ultrasonographic diagnosis of caudoproximal humeral stress fracture in thoroughbred racehorses. [PDF]

Equine Vet J
Abstract Background Humeral stress fractures in racehorses can progress to catastrophic fracture if unrecognised. Scintigraphy is the gold standard diagnostic technique but is limited by accessibility and cost. It was hypothesised that ultrasonography could be used to visualise caudoproximal humeral stress fractures. Objectives To determine the utility

Effects of vatinoxan on gastrointestinal motility, sedation, and antinociception during and after long-lasting detomidine infusion in horses. [PDF]

Equine Vet J
Abstract Background Sedation in horses is typically achieved using alpha‐2 adrenoceptor agonists, although their use is associated with multiple side effects. A peripheral alpha‐2 adrenoceptor antagonist, vatinoxan, can alleviate many of these. Objectives To evaluate the effects of vatinoxan infusion on gastrointestinal motility, sedation, and ...

Background – Recurrent urticaria is common in horses. The pathophysiology is poorly understood and treatment options are limited. Often only glucocorticoids are effective for controlling clinical signs, albeit with potential adverse effects. Studies investigating new treatments need a validated objective scoring system for the grading of skin lesions ...

Computed tomographic myelography of the cranial cervical spine in Warmblood horses with no spinal pathology-Inter- and intravertebral ratios and distribution of contrast columns in neutral and flexed cervical spine. [PDF]

Equine Vet J
Abstract Background Computed tomographic myelography (CTM) and radiographic myelography (RxM) are diagnostic for extradural spinal cord compression, but knowledge about the contrast distribution in flexion and normal position of nonaffected horses is lacking.

Condylar fracture location is correlated to exercise history in Thoroughbred racehorses. [PDF]

Equine Vet J
Abstract Background Condylar fractures are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in Thoroughbred racehorses. Condylar fractures have a variety of fracture configurations that suggest there may be differences in aetiopathogenesis. Objective To determine if exercise history differs with condylar fracture location in a population of Thoroughbred ...
