Involvement of mast cells and mast cell serine proteinases in equine heaves [PDF]
Mast cells release potent mediators upon degranulation, including serine proteinases. These proteinases play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of human asthma. Due to the similarities between human asthma and equine heaves, a similar role for the mast

Nebulized dexamethasone sodium phosphate in the treatment of horses with severe asthma
Background A study reported low systemic availability of injectable dexamethasone nebulized to healthy horses using the Flexineb mask. When used in horses with severe asthma and a different nebulizer, lack of efficacy and cortisol suppression were ...

The role of inhaled endotoxin in the aetiopathogenesis of equine heaves [PDF]
Soluble lipopolysaccharide (LPS) inhalation challenge induced a dose-dependent bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) neutrophilia in both heaves-susceptible and control horses, and significant lung dysfunction in the heaves group.

Nicoletella semolina in the airways of healthy horses and horses with severe asthma
Background Nicoletella semolina was identified in the airways of horses and its low prevalence could be because of its difficult differentiation from other Pasteurellaceae. Objectives To develop a molecular method for the identification of N.

Endobronchial Ultrasound Reliably Quantifies Airway Smooth Muscle Remodeling in an Equine Asthma Model. [PDF]
Endobronchial ultrasonography (EBUS) revealed differences in the thickness of the layer representing subepithelial tissues (L2) between human asthmatics and controls, but whether this measurement correlates with airway smooth muscle (ASM) remodeling in ...
