BWE, 18 these findings provide additional support for the role of leukocytes and proinflammatory cascades in the early pathogenesis of laminitis. The purpose of the study reported here was to evaluate the effects of BWE on equine mononuclear cells
Equine plasma has been recognized as a valuable resource for > 100 years. In the early 20th century, people with diphtheria infections were treated with plasma obtained from horses that had been vaccinated with diphtheria toxin, which provided
horses, and this limitation delays progress in the investigation of equine physiologic and pathophysiologic immune responses. Because of their importance in various medical conditions, immune inflammatory factors, such as cytokines, are widely studied
studies, 2 for recovering Cryptosporidium oocysts from foals, 3 and for recovering ascarid and other helminth eggs from soil. 4 A detailed description of the McMaster technique for counting equine strongyle eggs was provided by Herd. 5 Comparisons
recent study 14 indicate a lack of superoxide dismutase in equine laminar tissues, suggesting a tissue-specific susceptibility to damage by inflammatory leukocytes during laminitis. These recent findings support continued investigation into the
Gait analysis tools for use in horses have been the subject of interest in the equine industry for many years. Use of such tools for the purposes of lameness investigation and objective assessment of gait quality is quickly becoming widespread in
hypnotic drug administration, we could validate our equine nociception technique on the basis of epidurally derived EPs. Materials and Methods Animals —The study design was approved by the institutional ethical committee for animal experiments
accordance with results of other human 15,23 and equine studies, 29,30 and could have been attributable to factors such as interindividual differences in GI tract motility. Cessation time in other studies 29,30 of horses ranged from 33 hours to > 1 week
associated with postpartum colic, 8 chronic laminitis, 9 and colitis, 10 conditions that have high morbidity and mortality rates in horses. Equine fecal samples used for DNA extraction and analysis in previous studies 7–10 were obtained from the ground
evaluation of lameness in horses. Potentially, such devices could be routinely used by equine practitioners in the field for evaluation of lameness in horses. The objective of the study reported here was to compare data obtained with an inertial sensor
