Determination of Flunixin Meglumine in Veterinary Pharmaceutical Formulations by Capillary Electrophoresis With Capacitively Coupled Contactless Conductivity Detection

ELECTROPHORESIS, EarlyView.
A CE‐C4D method was developed for the indirect determination of flunixin meglumine (FM) by quantifying meglumine and using lithium ions as an internal standard. The method allows the use of a low‐cost standard reagent, providing suitable analytical performance for the determination of FM in veterinary pharmaceutical formulations.

Calcitonin gene‐related peptide concentration in cerebrospinal fluid and serum in horses affected by trigeminal‐mediated headshaking

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Trigeminal‐mediated headshaking (TMHS) in horses shares clinical features with human trigeminal neuralgia (HTN). Increased levels of the neuropeptide calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP) have been found in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of HTN patients. Inhibition of CGRP in humans has shown promise for pain relief.

Mono‐dimensional, two‐dimensional and Doppler echocardiographic measurements in healthy Standardbred neonatal foals in the first 5 days of life

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bodyweight, age and breed influence the echocardiographic assessment of foals. There are no echocardiographic studies in Standardbred neonatal foals. Objectives To describe echocardiographic values for selected variables, evaluate intra‐ and inter‐observer variability and assess cardiac changes in the first 5 days of life in healthy

Clinical and research applications of synthetic bone substitutes in equine veterinary medicine: A systematic review

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bone grafting in equine medicine offers a promising contribution to treating orthopaedic developmental diseases and chondral, osteochondral and segmental bone defects. Among grafts, synthetic bone substitutes—alloplastics—show favourable biological properties addressing numerous limitations presented by autografts, xenografts and ...
