Mixed Inheritance of Equine Recurrent Airway Obstruction [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2009
Abstract Background Mode of inheritance of equine recurrent airway obstruction (RAO) is unknown. Hypothesis Major genes are responsible for RAO. Animals

Airway reactivity in ponies with recurrent airway obstruction (heaves)

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1985
We measured lung function and airway reactivity to histamine administered by aerosol in two groups of ponies. Principal ponies had a history of heaves, a disease characterized by recurrent airway obstruction when ponies are housed in a barn and fed hay; control ponies had no history of airway obstruction. Ponies were paired (principal and control) and

Evaluation of serum cytokine levels in recurrent airway obstruction [PDF]

Polish Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2016
Abstract Recurrent airway obstruction (RAO) represents a serious health problem and is traditionally classified as an allergic disease, where contact with an antigen can induce clinical airway inflammation, bronchial hyper-responsiveness and reversible airway obstruction.

Effects of atropine in ponies with recurrent airway obstruction

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1988
The effects of atropine on lung function and airway reactivity in two groups of ponies were measured. Principal ponies had a history of recurrent airway obstruction when housed in a barn and fed hay; control ponies had no history of airway obstruction.

Increased hypoxia-inducible factor 1α expression in lung cells of horses with recurrent airway obstruction [PDF]

BMC Veterinary Research, 2012
Background Recurrent airway obstruction (RAO, also known as equine heaves) is an inflammatory condition caused by exposure of susceptible horses to organic dusts in hay.

Understanding Equine Asthma and Recurrent Airway Obstruction (RAO) in the Horse

EDIS, 2016
VM142, a 3-page fact sheet by Amanda M. House, describes this asthma-like condition in horses, how it is detected, and how it is treated. Includes references.

Spi2 gene polymorphism is not associated with recurrent airway obstruction and inflammatory airway disease in thoroughbred horses

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2011
The aim was to detect the presence of polymorphisms at exons 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the Spi2 gene, and evaluate a possible association between them and recurrent airway obstruction (RAO) or inflammatory airway disease (IAD) in thoroughbred horses, through ...

Persistent mucin glycoprotein alterations in equine recurrent airway obstruction

American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology, 2001
Horses with the episodic asthmalike condition of recurrent airway obstruction (RAO) have bouts of inflammation and bronchoconstriction associated with indoor housing. To assess the potential differences in airway secretions between RAO-affected and control horses, methods to quantify mucus secretions were developed and applied to bronchoalveolar lavage

Overexpression of eCLCA1 in Small Airways of Horses with Recurrent Airway Obstruction [PDF]

Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry, 2005
The human hCLCA1 and murine mCLCA3 (chloride channels, calcium-activated) have recently been identified as promising therapeutic targets in asthma. Recurrent airway obstruction in horses is an important animal model of human asthma. Here, we have cloned and characterized the first equine CLCA family member, eCLCA1.

Can HRCT be used as a marker of airway remodelling in children with difficult asthma? [PDF]

, 2006
BACKGROUND: Whole airway wall thickening on high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is reported to parallel thickening of the bronchial epithelial reticular basement membrane (RBM) in adult asthmatics. A similar relationship in children with difficult
