The prescience to measure airway reactivity in horses without heaves

Heaves in Horses : Allergy or Non-specific Response to Environmental Antigens?

Prescience

Close to forty years ago, my senior colleague, Leslie Orgel, had the perspicacity to invent two novel disciplines, astrobotany and theochemistry, which he thought might be with us by the end of the century. I cannot remember what he wanted to include in these areas of research, but I want to report that one of these is flourishing now and that the other will soon appear. I only recently heard t...

Endoscopic Evaluation of Angiogenesis in the Large Airways of Horses with Heaves Using Narrow Band Imaging

BACKGROUND Heaves is a severe debilitating condition of horses, characterized by lower airway inflammation and permanent structural changes of the bronchial wall. Chronic inflammation promotes the formation of new vessels, a phenomenon known as angiogenesis. Narrow band imaging (NBI) endoscopy is a noninvasive technique that enhances the visualization of submucosal vessels, and commonly is empl...

Development of a Semiquantitative Histological Score for the Diagnosis of Heaves Using Endobronchial Biopsy Specimens in Horses

BACKGROUND Remodeling of the peripheral airways persists during the asymptomatic phase of heaves. Assessing the histology of large bronchi could facilitate the diagnosis of heaves during remission of the disease. HYPOTHESIS Airway inflammation and remodeling in endobronchial biopsy (EBB) specimens differentiate horses with heaves from controls, independently of their clinical status (exacerba...
