Arthroscopy of septic carpitis in donkeys (Equus asinus) [PDF]
Experimental septic arthritis was induced in the radiocarpal joint of 18 donkeys by intra-articular injection of Staphylococcus aureus (3-4X106 CFU). The inoculated animals were divided into three groups (6 donkeys in each group).

The giant cells in the synovial membrane. [PDF]
Histopathological examinations of synovial tissues, obtained in 393 operations, disclosed the presence of foreign body giant cells or synovial giant cells or both in 51 cases. The presence of the former could be related to the occurrence of material foreign to the location, whereas for the latter group fo coincidence of precipitated fibrin only was ...
