Diagnosis and management of equine metabolic syndrome
Summary Equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) is a prevalent endocrine disorder that increases the risk of hyperinsulinaemia‐associated laminitis (HAL), the most common and clinically significant form of laminitis. The central pathological feature of EMS is insulin dysregulation (ID), which encompasses basal or postprandial hyperinsulinaemia and tissue ...

Intravenous infusion of magnesium sulfate and its effect on horses with trigeminal-mediated headshaking. [PDF]
BackgroundTrigeminal-mediated headshaking results from low-threshold firing of the trigeminal nerve resulting in apparent facial pain. Magnesium may have neuroprotective effects on nerve firing that potentially dampen signs of neuropathic pain.

Risk factors for equine strangulating lipoma colic: An international, case–control study
Abstract Background Obstruction by strangulating lipoma (SLO) is one of the most common causes of small intestinal strangulation in horses and is fatal without surgery. Current knowledge of risk factors for SLO is limited to horse signalment features. To date, other risk factors have not been investigated.

Risk factors for strangulating lipoma obstruction and lipomata in horses
Abstract Background Strangulating lipoma obstruction (SLO) is the most common cause of equine small intestinal strangulation and is fatal without surgery. Currently, epidemiological information is primarily limited to signalment‐related risk factors and requires further investigation.
