Factors affecting foal birth weight in Thoroughbred horses.
Foaling data from 348 Thoroughbred foals born on a commercial stud were analysed to investigate interrelationships among mare age, parity, gestation length, foal sex, placental weight, and foal birth weight. Placental weight was positively correlated with foal birth weight up to a threshold of 6.5 kg; above this, placental weight was not significantly associated with foal birth weight. Placenta...
متن کاملNitric oxide synthase inhibition does not affect the exercise-induced arterial hypoxemia in Thoroughbred horses.
Because sensitivity of equine pulmonary vasculature to endogenous as well as exogenous nitric oxide (NO) has been demonstrated, we examined whether endogenous NO production plays a role in exercise-induced arterial hypoxemia. We hypothesized that inhibition of NO synthase may alter the distribution of ventilation-perfusion mismatching, which may affect the exercise-induced arterial hypoxemia. A...
متن کاملL-NAME does not affect exercise-induced pulmonary hypertension in thoroughbred horses.
The present study was carried out to examine the effects of nitric oxide synthase inhibition with Nomega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) on the right atrial as well as on the pulmonary arterial, capillary, and venous blood pressures of horses during rest and exercise performed at maximal heart rate (HRmax). Experiments were carried out on seven healthy, sound, exercise-trained Thoroughbr...
متن کاملSmall colon faecalith impaction in a thoroughbred foal
An 8-month-old female thoroughbred foal was presented showing signs of colic. The foal was anxious,exhibiting signs of abdominal pain and distention. The foal had tachycardia (120 beats/min), tachypnea (40breaths/min). Blood samples obtained for haematologic and serum biochemistry analysis that showed a PCVof 30% and a TPP of 70 g/L. The peritoneal fluid analysis revealed a clear fluid with mil...
متن کاملChordal cutting does not adversely affect left ventricle contractile function.
BACKGROUND Severing a limited number of second-order chordae to the anterior leaflet can improve ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR). Some concerns have been raised regarding possible influence on regional and global left ventricle (LV) function. We evaluated changes in cardiac function in 5 normal sheep with cutting of pre-instrumented chords in the beating heart to maintain constant load. ME...
