Factors influencing the outcome of equine anaesthesia: a review of 1,314 casesEquine Veterinary Journal - 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
Evaluation of a wireless activity monitoring system to quantify locomotor activity in horses in experimental settingsEquine Veterinary Journal - Tập 49 Số 2 - Trang 225-231 - 2017
Michael Fries, Stéphane Montavon, Claudia Spadavecchia, Olivier Levionnois
SummaryReasons for performing studyMethods of evaluating locomotor activity can
be useful in efforts to quantify behavioural activity in horses
objectively.ObjectivesTo evaluate whether an accelerometric device would be
adequate to quantify locomotor activity and step frequency in horses, and to
distinguish between different levels of activity and different gaits.Study
designObservational study in... hiện toàn bộ
Influence of shoes with different weights on the motion of the limbs in Icelandic horses during toelt at different speedsEquine Veterinary Journal - Tập 42 Số s38 - Trang 451-454 - 2010
Bill V. Rumpler, A. Riha, Theresia Licka, A. KOTSCHWAR
SummaryReason for performing study:Weight boots are commonly used for Icelandic
horses to increase the height of the flight arc of the forelimbs in
toelt.Objective:To show the influence of weights and toelting speed on the
height of the swing phase.Materials and methods:Eight Icelandic horses (mean ±
s.d. 12 ± 3 years old, 369 ± 46 kg) were used. Reflecting makers were placed on
the dorsal side of... hiện toàn bộ
Comparison of echocardiographic and autopsy measurements of cardiac dimensions in the horseEquine Veterinary Journal - Tập 17 Số 5 - Trang 361-368 - 1985
Michael O’Callaghan
SummaryThis study was initiated to determine the accuracy of M‐mode
echocardiography in measuring left ventricular dimensions and estimating heart
weights in horses. Left ventricular free wall and interventricular septal
thickness and left ventricular external and internal diameters were measured and
heart weights estimated from the echocardiograms of 47 horses. Autopsy
measurements of the same pa... hiện toàn bộ
Clinical and neuropathological features of West Nile virus equine encephalomyelitis in ItalyEquine Veterinary Journal - 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 lithium dilution and thermodilution cardiac output measurements in anaesthetised neonatal foalsEquine Veterinary Journal - Tập 34 Số 6 - Trang 598-601 - 2002
Kevin T.T. Corley, Lydia Donaldson, Martin Furr
SummaryKnowledge of cardiac output is expected to help guide the treatment of
hypotension associated with critical illness and/or anaesthesia in neonatal
foals. However, a practical and safe method of measuring cardiac output has not
been described for the foal. Lithum dilution, a new method of cardiac output
determination not requiring cardiac catheterisation, has recently been reported
in mature... hiện toàn bộ
Development of biochemical heterogeneity of articular cartilage: influences of age and exerciseEquine Veterinary Journal - Tập 34 Số 3 - Trang 265-269 - 2002
Pieter A.J. Brama, J.M. TeKoppele, Ruud A. Bank, A. Barneveld, P. René van Weeren
SummaryThe objective of this study was to document the development of
biochemical heterogeneity from birth to maturity in equine articular cartilage,
and to test the hypothesis that the amount of exercise during early life may
influence this process. Neonatal foals showed no biochemical heterogeneity
whatsoever, in contrast to a clearbiochemical heterogeneity in mature horses.
The process of forma... hiện toàn bộ
The effect of training on the calcified zone of equine middle carpal articular cartilageEquine Veterinary Journal - Tập 31 Số S30 - Trang 274-278 - 1999
Rachel C. Murray, R. Chris Whitton, S. Vedi, Allen E. Goodship, Pierre Lekeux
SummaryCarpal osteochondral injury is frequently observed in strenuously trained
horses. It is clear that the integrity of articular cartilage and subchondral
bone are intimately related, although there is controversy about which component
is the most important. Calcified cartilage provides the mechanical link between
soft hyaline cartilage and stiff subchondral bone so it is essential to
understa... hiện toàn bộ
