Factors influencing the outcome of equine anaesthesia: a review of 1,314 cases Tập 25 Số 2 - Trang 147-151 - 1993
Simon Young, Polly Taylor
SummaryPatient data, physiological variables and recovery quality were extracted
from 1,314 records of equine anaesthetics covering a 7‐year period and analysed
retrospectively. Better recovery quality was significantly associated with
shorter duration of anaesthesia, longer recovery times, less invasive surgery, a
lower pulse rate at induction and higher pulse and respiratory rates during
anaesth... hiện toàn bộ
Repeatability of subjective evaluation of lameness in horses Tập 42 Số 2 - Trang 92-97 - 2010
Kevin G. Keegan, Eric V. Dent, David A. Wilson, John C. Janicek, Joanne Kramer, Alison M. LaCarrubba, Donald M. Walsh, M. W. CASSELLS, T. M. ESTHER, Paul Schiltz, Karl E. Frees, C. Leigh Wilhite, Joseph Clark, C. C. Pollitt, Raymond A. Shaw, T. Norris
SummaryReasons for performing study: Previous studies have suggested that
agreement between equine veterinarians subjectively evaluating lameness in
horses is low. These studies were limited to small numbers of horses, evaluating
movement on the treadmill or to evaluating previously‐recorded
videotape.Objectives: To estimate agreement between equine practitioners
performing lameness evaluations in... hiện toàn bộ
Clinical and neuropathological features of West Nile virus equine encephalomyelitis in Italy Tập 32 Số 1 - Trang 31-35 - 2000
Carlo Cantile, Giovanni Di Guardo, Claudia Eleni, M. Arispici
SummaryWest Nile (WN) virus infection is a mosquito‐borne flavivirosis endemic
in Africa and Asia. Clinical disease is usually rare and mild and only in a few
cases the infection causes encephalomyelitis in horses, fever and
meningoencephalitis in man. We report here the clinical and pathological
findings in an epidemic of the disease involving 14 horses from Tuscany, Italy.
All cases were observe... hiện toàn bộ
Comparison of an inertial sensor system of lameness quantification with subjective lameness evaluation Tập 44 Số 6 - Trang 652-656 - 2012
Megan J. McCracken, Joanne Kramer, Kevin G. Keegan, Marco A. F. Lopes, David A. Wilson, Shannon K. Reed, Alison M. LaCarrubba, Michael E. Scharf
SummaryReasons for performing study:Subjective evaluation of mild lameness has
been shown to have poor interobserver reliability. Traditional methods of
objective lameness evaluation require specialised conditions and equipment.
Wireless inertial sensor systems have been developed to allow for simple, rapid,
objective lameness detection in horses trotted over ground.Objective:The purpose
of this s... hiện toàn bộ
Clinical pharmacology and therapeutic uses of non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs in the horse Tập 17 Số 2 - Trang 83-96 - 1985
P. Lees, A.J. Higgins
SummaryWeak organic acids possessing anti‐inflammatory, analgesic and
antipyretic properties — commonly known as aspirin‐like drugs — have been used
in equine medicine for almost 100 years. These non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory
drugs (NSAIDs) may be classified chemically into two groups; the enolic acids
such as phenylbutazone and carboxylic acids like flunixin, meclofenamate and
naproxen. All NSA... hiện toàn bộ
Endoscopic and virological observations on respiratory disease in a group of young Thoroughbred horses in training Tập 17 Số 2 - Trang 99-103 - 1985
M. H. Burrell
SummaryA group of racehorses in training was examined on several occasions with
a fibreoptic endoscope and monitored for viral infection. Only equine herpes
virus‐2 (EHV‐2) infection was detected. Pharyngeal lymphoid hyperplasia (PLH)
was present in all horses and decreased in severity with age. There was no
association between PLH severity and antibody titres to EHV‐1, or with the
isolation of EH... hiện toàn bộ
Mechanical nociceptive thresholds in the axial skeleton of horses Tập 38 Số 1 - Trang 70-75 - 2006
Kevin K. Haussler, Hollis N. Erb
SummaryReasons for performing study: An objective measure of neck, back and
croup pain is needed in horses with musculoskeletal injuries, vague upper limb
lameness or poor performance.Objectives: To establish mechanical nociceptive
thresholds (MNTs) within the axial skeleton and evaluate the effects of subject
status and ridden exercise.Methods: Thirty‐six mature horses (10 nonridden; 26
