A Longitudinal Analysis of Equine Asthma Presentation and Response to Treatment Using Lung Function Testing and BAL Cytology Analysis in Combination with Owner Perception [PDF]

open access: yesAnimals, 2023
(1) Background: Equine asthma (EA) is a pervasive and important cause of poor performance and respiratory morbidity in horses. Diagnosis of EA includes an owner complaint, clinical scoring, lung function testing, and cytological analysis of ...

Experiment and Application Study on High-Performance Grouting Material Used to Solve the Floor Heave Problem of Broken Soft Rocks

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2022
To meet the project demands of controlling the floor heaves in broken soft rocks, a new high-performance grouting material was studied. The main performance parameters of the grouting materials with different ratios, such as the setting time, the density

Evaluating the performance of the twin tunnel complex in soft soil subjected to horizontal ground shaking

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
Tunnel construction in soft soil necessitates a thorough evaluation of soil behavior, embedment depth, ground heaves, and tunnel distortions, especially in earthquake-prone areas.

The Dynamics of Circulating Immune Complexes in Horses with Severe Equine Asthma

open access: yesAnimals, 2021
Non-invasive diagnostic biomarkers of equine asthma syndrome (EAS) from blood or urine are sought. The aim of this study was to assess the absorbance of circulating immune complexes (CICs) during the exacerbation, remission, and treatment of an asthma ...

Profiling of differentially expressed genes using suppression subtractive hybridization in an equine model of chronic asthma. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Gene expression analyses are used to investigate signaling pathways involved in diseases. In asthma, they have been primarily derived from the analysis of bronchial biopsies harvested from mild to moderate asthmatic subjects and controls.

Comprehensive Flow Cytometric Characterization of Bronchoalveolar Lavage Cells Indicates Comparable Phenotypes Between Asthmatic and Healthy Horses But Functional Lymphocyte Differences

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Equine asthma (EA) is a highly relevant disease, estimated to affect up to 20% of all horses, and compares to human asthma. The pathogenesis of EA is most likely immune-mediated, yet incompletely understood.

Heave Motion of a Vertical Cylinder with Heave Plates [PDF]

open access: yesPolish Maritime Research, 2021
Abstract The shape of a vertical cylinder resembles the classic form of a spar platform. Spar platforms are floating platforms that are successfully used in waters of great depths and have several advantages that mean they are readily used in the oil industry.

Heave motion suppression of a Spar with a heave plate [PDF]

open access: yesOcean Engineering, 2004
Abstract Vortex shedding flow of an oscillating vertical cylinder with a disk attached at its keel is considered. This configuration is of interest for the offshore oil and gas industry. A finite difference method is employed to solve the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in the primitive-variables formulation.

Glucocorticoid treatment in horses with asthma: A narrative review

open access: yesJournal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2021
Despite substantial research efforts to improve the treatment and outcome of horses with asthma, glucocorticoids (GC) remain the cornerstone of drug treatment of this prevalent disease. The high efficacy of GC to relieve airway obstruction explains their

Exercise‐induced airflow changes in horses with asthma measured by electrical impedance tomography

open access: yesJournal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2021
Background Equine asthma (EA) causes airflow impairment, which increases in severity with exercise. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is an imaging technique that can detect airflow changes in standing healthy horses during a histamine provocation ...
