Influence of Extended Photoperiod Using Blue Light Masks on Hypertrichosis, Coat Condition and General Health Parameters in Horses with Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction [PDF]

Animals
Fifty-two horses aged >15 years, diagnosed with pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID), and displaying hypertrichosis were recruited via an online survey of PPID horse owners. From mid-December, group T (n = 29) wore Equilume® light masks extending

Equine Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction [PDF]

Veterinary Sciences
Pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID) is a common, slowly progressive, neurodegenerative disorder of the older horse. Oxidative damage to the hypothalamic periventricular neurons results in loss of dopaminergic inhibition of the pars intermedia ...

Development and diagnostic performance of a sensitive multiplex pneumonia pathogen identification assay for emergency department patients with pneumonia [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum
Pneumonia imposes a significant global health burden, with high morbidity and mortality, and challenges in pathogen identification due to diverse etiologies. Conventional culture-based methods are time-consuming and insufficient for fastidious organisms,

Prospective Case Series of Clinical Signs and Adrenocorticotrophin (ACTH) Concentrations in Seven Horses Transitioning to Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction (PPID)

Veterinary Sciences, 2022
Poor recognition of subtle clinical abnormalities and equivocal ACTH concentrations make early diagnosis of PPID difficult. Progressive clinical findings and corresponding ACTH concentrations in horses transitioning to PPID over time have not been ...

Prevalence and Progression of Resting ACTH, Insulin and Adiponectin Values as Indicators of Suspected Endocrine Diseases in Sport Horses and Ponies Compared to Non-Sport Horses, Ponies and Donkeys [PDF]

Animals
Prevalence of endocrine disease in sport horses has been sparsely reported. They often compete well into their teenage years; thus, diagnosis and control of endocrine disease could be important to maintain performance and optimise health and welfare. The
