Macroscopic and Histological Morphology of the Equine Digital Cushion and Its Association with Subcutaneous Fat Thickness

Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, 2020
This study evaluated the influence of the Body Condition Score (BCS) and subcutaneous fat thickness on the tissue composition of the digital cushion in horses. Sixty mixed breeds of Criollo horses (21 males and 39 females) were sent for slaughter. All animals were submitted to BCS analysis, through visual antemortem evaluation, and then ultrasound ...

Oral-facial-digital syndrome with Y-shaped fourth metacarpals and endocardial cushion defect

American Journal of Medical Genetics, 1999
We report on a boy with pseudo-cleft of the upper lip, cleft palate, bifid uvula, lobulated tongue, hypoplasia of the epiglottis, both preaxial and central polydactyly of the hands (Y-shaped fourth metacarpals), bilateral preaxial polydactyly of the feet, postaxial polydactyly of the left foot, hearing impairment, and congenital heart disease with ...

Manipulating the fatty acid composition of lipids in the digital cushion of the bovine claw

Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science, 2009
The fatty acid (FA) composition of animal tissues is influenced by many factors including age, dietary forage to concentrate ratio, breed and energy status. Despite a high degree of bio-hydrogenation of unsaturated FA’s in the rumen, another crucial influence on tissue FA composition is the FA composition of the diet.

Sole Cushion or Digital Cushion?

2016
Atlarda ayak yere bastığında, tırnak içerisinde büyük bir basınç oluşur. Yürüyen bir atta dört ayak aynı anda yeretemas etmez, her bir ayağa düşen ağırlık daha da artar. Tırnak içerisindeki canlı dokuların zarar görmemesi için, bu basıncıabsorbe eden yapılara ihtiyaç vardır. At ayağındaki bu yapıların en önemlisi çatal-ökçe yastığıdır.

Biomechanical and histological variables differ by site but not by lameness in equine digital cushion samples from forelimbs

Journal of Equine Veterinary Science
The equine digital cushion (DC) has been a poorly understood structure regarding its mechanical properties and composition. The objective of this study was to develop a sampling technique and to compare the biomechanical and histologic properties of DC between lame and non-lame forelimbs.

Histological and functional characterizations of the digital cushion in Quarter horses.

Canadian journal of veterinary research = Revue canadienne de recherche veterinaire, 2018
The digital cushion (DC) plays a role in absorbing and dampening forces applied to the foot and therefore supports internal structures such as navicular bone; yet, its architecture is not well-known. The goal of this study was to characterize the microanatomical structure of the DC in horses with clinically sound hooves. Both forefeet from the cadavers

GENOTYPIC AND PHENOTYPIC ASSOCIATIONS WITH DIGITAL CUSHION THICKNESS IN DAIRY CATTLE

2019
The bovine digital cushion is a compression pad between the distal phalanx and sole. Digital cushion thickness (DCT) is associated with lameness and claw horn disruption lesions (CHDL) and estimated to be moderately heritable. This dissertation focuses on understanding DCT phenotypically and genotypically to evaluate whether DCT has an opportunity to ...

Functional anatomy of the cartilage of the distal phalanx and digital cushion in the equine foot and a hemodynamic flow hypothesis of energy dissipation

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1998
Abstract Objectives To examine macro- and microscopic characteristics of cartilage of the distal phalanx (ungual cartilage [UC]) and digital cushion in the equine foot and to relate them to the foot's function of energy dissipation. Animals 85 horses and 5 foals of various breeds and ages.

Digital Cushions in Horses Comprise Coarse Connective Tissue, Myxoid Tissue, and Cartilage but Only Little Unilocular Fat Tissue

Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, 2005
SummaryDigital cushions were studied in horses with particular reference to vascularization, tissue constituents and matrix components. The cushions mainly resembled a network of coarse collagen bundles. The areas inbetween the bundles were replenished with loosely woven interstitial connective tissue, myxoid tissue, and fibrocartilage. Expected masses

Lipid content and fatty acid composition of the digital cushion of bulls offered different amounts of linseed.

Journal of animal science, 2010
Previous research suggests that the digital cushion, a shock-absorbing structure in the claw, plays an important role in protecting cattle from lameness. This study aimed to assess the degree to which nutritional factors influence the composition of the digital cushion.
