Characterization of Normal Bone in the Equine Distal Limb with Effective Atomic Number and Electron Density Determined with Single-Source Dual Energy and Detector-Based Spectral Computed Tomography

Animals
Single-source dual energy (SSDECT) and detector-based spectral computed tomography (DBSCT) are emerging technologies allowing the interrogation of materials that have different attenuation properties at different energies.

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

Human Demonstration Does Not Facilitate the Performance of Horses (Equus caballus) in a Spatial Problem-Solving Task

Animals, 2018
Horses’ ability to adapt to new environments and to acquire new information plays an important role in handling and training. Social learning in particular would be very adaptive for horses as it enables them to flexibly adjust to new environments.

Development of the Human–Equine Attachment Scale

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Human–horse relationships encompass diverse roles, from companion to competition partner. The impact of such bonds informs owner decision‐making regarding horse management and veterinary care, yet standardised instruments to measure these unique bonds are limited.

Risk assessment for condylar stress fracture in elite racing Thoroughbreds using standing computed tomography‐based virtual mechanical testing

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Condylar stress fracture of the third metacarpal bone (MC3) is a common catastrophic injury in Thoroughbred racehorses and is associated with parasagittal groove (PSG) subchondral osteolysis. Standing computed tomography (sCT) imaging enables sensitive identification of this fatigue‐induced early subchondral bone injury (SBI), but ...

Exercise‐specific plasma proteomic signatures in racehorses: Candidates for training adaptation and peak load monitoring

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Racehorses undergo profound physiological changes with training and competition, but current biomarkers inadequately capture the complex molecular dynamics of exercise. This study aimed to identify novel plasma biomarkers of training adaptation and peak load using high‐throughput proteomics.

Validation of a handheld smartphone markerless gait‐analysis tool using an estimated groundline in horses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background A handheld smartphone‐based computer vision algorithm (RealHorse® [RH]) offers accessible alternatives for equine gait analysis but requires validation against a gold‐standard three‐dimensional multicamera optical motion capture system (Qualisys® [QS]).

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 ...

Transcriptomic signatures reveal systemic adaptations and immune modulation in response to training and competitive racing in horses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The molecular mechanisms underlying adaptation to physical exertion and racing stress in horses remain incompletely understood. Peripheral blood transcriptomics offers a minimally invasive method to monitor systemic responses to exercise and identify biomarkers of adaptation or overload. Objectives To evaluate transcriptomic changes
