Abstract Background Data on equine thoracic pathology hardly exist in breeds other than Thoroughbreds. Objectives To describe pathological changes of the osseous thoracic vertebral column in Warmblood horses, Shetland ponies and Konik horses, and to compare prevalence and severity. Study design Descriptive post‐mortem study. Methods Computed tomography

An anatomical investigation of alkaptonuria: Novel insights into ochronosis of cartilage and bone
Examination of an alkaptonuria body highlights the susceptibility of all cartilage types and associated perichondrium to ochronotic pigmentation and the heterogeneity of ochronotic pigment distribution both within and between tissues. In joints, calcified cartilage pigments before non‐calcified cartilage.

Multi-vertebral CT-based FE models implementing linear isotropic population-based material properties for the intervertebral discs cannot accurately predict strains [PDF]
Vertebral fractures prediction in clinics lacks of accuracy. The most used scores have limitations in distinguishing between subjects at risk or not. Finite element (FE) models generated from computed tomography (CT) of these patients may improve the predictive capability.
