Hemodynamics in the Normal and Laminitic Bovine Digit

American Association of Bovine Practitioners Conference Proceedings, 2002
Bovine laminitis is of great economic importance to the dairy and beef industry. Lameness from laminitis and its sequella results in loss of milk production, decreased weight gain, culling of animals and extra labor. Similar to horses, the digital pathology is thought to occur due to vascular derangements in the digital microvasculature leading to ...

Increased plasma fructosamine concentrations in laminitic horses

Equine Veterinary Journal, 2011
Summary Reasons for performing study: The use of plasma fructosamine concentration ([fructosamine]) as a marker of abnormal glucose homeostasis in laminitic horses has not been investigated.

First Aid for the Laminitic Foot: Therapeutic and Mechanical Support

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, 2010
The goals of mechanical treatment during the acute phase of laminitis are to preserve the lamellar interface by reducing the forces that are compromising its integrity and to make the horse more comfortable. Early decision making is important in managing acute laminitis.

Rehabilitating the Chronically Laminitic Foot

Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, 2010
Abstract Trimming and shoeing the equine patients suffering with chronic laminitis entails a well organized approach, improves quality of life and generally results in a better outcome. The chronic laminitic hoof presents clinically in a variety of ways and thus treatment needs to be tailored to the individual horse.

Plasma concentrations of inflammatory markers in previously laminitic ponies

Equine Veterinary Journal, 2013
Summary Reasons for performing study The mechanisms underlying individual animal predisposition to pasture‐associated laminitis remain unclear; however, chronic inflammation is implicated. Objectives To identify ...

Forage and pasture management for laminitic horses

Clinical Techniques in Equine Practice, 2004
In the past, many cases of laminitis have been of mysterious origin. Recent investigations in veterinary medicine, coupled with the availability of new techniques for analyzing hydrolyzable carbohydrates in forage may provide evidence to solve some of these mysteries.

Insulin tolerance in laminitic ponies.

Canadian journal of comparative medicine : Revue canadienne de medecine comparee, 1984
Sensitivity to insulin was assessed in ponies episodically affected with chronic laminitis by measurement of blood glucose and arterial blood pressure during insulin tolerance tests. In terms of blood glucose values, laminitic ponies were significantly less sensitive to insulin than controls.

Laminites; a structure of flysch-type sediments

Journal of Sedimentary Research, 1963
Abstract Laminites are defined as beds that are finer grained and thinner than turbidites, both of which represent members of a series of gradual changes in the depositional character of flysch sequences. The clastic fine-grained material forming the laminites is transported not only by gravity but also by a combination of bottom ...

Laminitic Pain: Parallels with Pain States in Humans and Other Species

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, 2010
Laminitis poses a threat to all horses, and is widely considered as being one of the most important diseases of horses and a global equine welfare problem. The effects of laminitis lead to debilitation, development of pronounced digital pain, and great suffering in the afflicted animal.

Gypsum-carbonate laminites in a recent sabkha, Kuwait

Carbonates and Evaporites, 1988
Primary laminar gypsum, either alone or in couplets with carbonate and/or organic matter has been found in the supratidal zone of a carbonate sabkha in southern Kuwait. The laminites are confined to an area of abandoned, partly filled Holocene tidal channels in the supratidal zone, and not subject to regular tidal flooding at the present time.
