Sometimes when you hear hoof beats, it could be a zebra: consider the diagnosis of Fabry disease
BACKGROUND Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder that results from a deficiency of the enzyme α-galactosidase A. Fabry disease is present in 4-5% of men with unexplained left ventricular hypertrophy or cryptogenic stroke. As enzyme replacement therapy is now more widely available, it is important to recognise the signs and symptoms of the disease and establish the diagnosis so...
متن کاملHoof wall defects: chronic hoof wall separations and hoof wall cracks.
Hoof wall defects in horses are common occurrences, and, fortunately, many of those detected present little or no danger to the individual horse. Those defects that are either presently a problem or have a great likelihood of being a problem do often require specialized consideration. Horse shoeing and farriery are ancient practices; over the years, a multitude of methods, theories, and managem...
متن کاملFeeding the Hoof
Horses are able to interconvert fats, carbohydrates and even amino acids (the building blocks of protein) to some extent. They can increase active absorption of minerals when they have a need, and are equipped with mechanisms to excrete excess minerals except iron. However, there are certain amino acids and fatty acids they cannot manufacture. These are termed “essential” because it is essentia...
متن کاملNo hoof, no horse! The clinical implications of modelling the hoof capsule.
Horses stand on the tips of their middle fingers and toes. In each forelimb, they bear their weight on an adapted fingernail which forms the hoof wall. This hoof wall is strongly attached to the last bone (third phalanx) which, in turn, is tied into the column of support in such a way that the complex locomotory forces received through the hoof capsule are directed up into the limb in alignment...
متن کاملThe modulus of elasticity of equine hoof wall: implications for the mechanical function of the hoof.
During normal weight-bearing and locomotion, the equine hoof wall deforms in a consistent pattern; the proximal dorsal wall rotates caudo-ventrally about the distal dorsal border and there is latero-medial flaring posteriorly. The aim of this study is to examine whether there are regional differences in the modulus of elasticity of hoof wall material and whether such differences correlate with ...
