CD8+ T‐cells, CD86+ macrophages and TNF‐α signalling pathways are correlated with fetlock osteoarthritis in racehorses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background There is emerging evidence for the role of the immune system in osteoarthritis (OA) pathophysiology; however, little is known about how immune cells and the synovial transcriptome are altered in naturally occurring equine OA. Objectives To evaluate synovial fluid (SF) and synovial membrane (SM) immune cell populations and the SM ...

Validation of a smart textile electrocardiographic monitoring device in racehorses during high‐speed exercise

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Exercise‐associated cardiac arrhythmias may contribute to poor performance and sudden cardiac death in horses. Widespread monitoring is limited by device availability and suitability for field use. Objectives To (1) compare electrocardiographic (ECG) quality from a smart textile system (Myant Skiin Equine) with a reference device ...

Effect of exercise‐related nasopharyngeal disorders on upper airway function in racehorses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Exercise‐related upper respiratory tract (URT) disorders are frequently diagnosed in racehorses. Treatment recommendations are routinely based on subjective assessment of clinical evaluation and exercising endoscopy findings. Objectives To objectively investigate how palatal instability (PI), intermittent dorsal displacement of the ...

Computed Tomographic Evaluation of the Sagittal Ridge of the Third Metacarpal Bone in Young Thoroughbred Racehorses: A Longitudinal Study

Animals
Metacarpophalangeal joint region pain is a common cause of lameness in racehorses. Radiological abnormalities in the sagittal ridge (SR) of the third metacarpal bone have been associated with joint effusion, lameness and reduced sales prices.
