Bilateral bronchoalveolar lavage cytology profiles in a warmblood horse population during a 1‐year period

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine
Background Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cytology results from 1 lung might not be representative of both lungs. Objectives To determine whether the lung site sampled would influence the horse's BAL cytology profile, and if a pooled BAL sample would be ...

Effects of hypersensitivity disorders and environmental factors on the equine intestinal microbiota

Veterinary Quarterly, 2020
Background Recent evidence suggests that an altered intestinal microbiota, specifically a reduction of bacterial diversity or a shift in microbial composition, is associated with the development of hypersensitivity disorders in humans, but this is ...

Examining Atopic Dermatitis Through the One Health Concept Lens

Allergy, Volume 81, Issue 2, Page 345-357, February 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper explores the application of the One Health framework to atopic dermatitis (AD), a complex, chronic skin disease, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches to prevention and management. One Health integrates human, animal, environmental, and plant health, addressing challenges such as antimicrobial resistance, infectious diseases, and

Serum Vitamin D Level Is Unchanged in Equine Asthma

Animals
Vitamin D deficiency is associated with asthma development and severity of symptoms in humans, but whether the same occurs in horses is unknown. We aimed to determine whether the serum vitamin D levels differ in horses with asthma compared to control ...

4379 MARCKS protein is altered in naturally occurring model of asthma in horses

Journal of Clinical and Translational Science, 2020
OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Asthma is a significant health concern that affects people of all ages worldwide. EAS demonstrates many of the pathophysiological characteristics of nonatopic human asthma, which has led EAS to be used as naturally occurring model ...

Associations between clinical signs, endoscopic and cytological findings in equine bronchoalveolar lavage samples

Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 101-108, February 2026.
Summary Background Endoscopy, including tracheal mucus score (TMS) and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid cytology, is commonly employed in the diagnosis of equine asthma (EA). Large‐scale studies comparing clinical signs, TMS and BAL cytology are warranted.

Neutrophils are not less sensitive than other blood leukocytes to the genomic effects of glucocorticoids. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Neutrophils are generally considered less responsive to glucocorticoids compared to other inflammatory cells. The reported increase in human neutrophil survival mediated by these drugs partly supports this assertion.

Development of a health‐related quality‐of‐life assessment tool for equines with pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, Issue 1, Page 190-202, January 2026.
Abstract Background Clinical signs of pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID) are frequently mistaken for ‘normal’ ageing and may not be optimally assessed. Objective quality of life (QoL) assessment could improve clinical decision‐making. Objectives To develop an owner‐reported health‐related quality‐of‐life (HRQoL) assessment tool for equines ...

Anti‐IL‐5 Vaccination Dampens Allergen‐Specific IgE Levels and Modulates IL‐4 and IL‐5 Th2 Cytokines in Skin Allergy of Mice and Horses

Allergy, Volume 80, Issue 12, Page 3377-3390, December 2025.
This study investigates the effect of IL‐5 vaccination on allergen‐specific IgE levels, as well as mRNA and protein expression of Th1/Th2‐associated cytokines using a murine OVA skin allergy model and the naturally occurring skin allergy IBH in horses.
