An investigation of the equine epidermal growth factor system during hyperinsulinemic laminitis.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Equine laminitis is a disease of the digital epidermal lamellae typified by epidermal cell proliferation and structural collapse. Most commonly the disease is caused by hyperinsulinemia, although the pathogenesis is incompletely understood.

Predicting outcomes in equine peritonitis: Multivariable analysis of admission and post‐admission data from a UK hospital population

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Peritonitis is life‐threatening, and limited information exists regarding outcomes and predictors of survival. Objectives To report short‐ and long‐term outcomes in horses diagnosed with peritonitis and identify factors associated with survival. Study Design Retrospective observational. Methods Data were obtained for horses admitted

Assessing veterinary students’ attitudes towards pain in cattle before and after final‐year clinical training

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cattle only show subtle signs of pain, making pain assessment difficult. The approach to pain and the use of analgesics depend on the treating person's experience and opinions. Methods Bavarian veterinary students were asked to answer two identical questionnaires before and after 12 weeks of clinical training in a ruminant clinic. A

Laminar Inflammation Responses in the Oligofructose Overload Induced Model of Bovine Laminitis

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020
Bovine laminitis causes substantial economic losses and animal welfare problems in dairy farms worldwide. Previously published studies have reported that the inflammatory response plays a central role in the pathogenesis of the disease. To our knowledge,

Adjusting Our Thinking About Feeding Animals: Fiber as the Metric for Mimicking Natural Diets

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
A typical effect of the change of an animal group to a diet higher in fiber: juveniles keep growing, animals of ideal body weight maintain their weight, and obese individuals lose weight. ABSTRACT Free‐ranging animals often ingest markedly different diets than their counterparts under human care, whether companion animals, production animals, or zoo ...

Zymographic analysis of equine laminitis

, 1999
To investigate the role of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity in the pathophysiology of equine laminitis, the techniques of in situ zymography and quantitative SDS-PAGE zymography were used to analyse the lamellae and plasma and serum of horses with

Lamin and the heart [PDF]

Heart, 2017
Lamins A and C are intermediate filament nuclear envelope proteins encoded by the LMNA gene. Mutations in LMNA cause autosomal dominant severe heart disease, accounting for 10% of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Characterised by progressive conduction system disease, arrhythmia and systolic impairment, lamin A/C heart disease is more malignant than other

Feeding Practices and Welfare of Zoo‐Housed Giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis) on a Global Scale

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
We collected feeding and stereotypy information on 702 giraffes from 146 zoos from all over the world. Less appropriate diets were linked to more oral stereotypies. ABSTRACT Since giraffe feeding practices have only been reported for European and US facilities, this study aimed to achieve a comprehensive overview of the current giraffe feeding ...

Circulating miR-23b-3p, miR-145-5p and miR-200b-3p are potential biomarkers to monitor acute pain associated with laminitis in horses

Animal, 2018
Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as promising biomarkers for several disorders and related pain. In equine practice, acute laminitis is a common disease characterised by intense pain that severely compromises horse welfare. Recently, the Horse
