چکیده
Almost every day, horses with unspecified lameness and locomotor disorders are being examined in numerous equine orthopaedic surgeries all over Germany. "In most cases, young horses with particularly strong movements are concerned that perfectly reflect today's breeding goals for sport horses", reports FEI veterinarian Dr. Mark Kaminski. The veterinary specialist in equine orthopaedics at the equine surgery in Bochum summarizes the riders' reports: "For a while, the horse has suffered from blockades when turning and exhibited gait abnormalities. After a few days of rest, the horse movements improve, however with increasing exercise, the problems get worse again."

Isolation and molecular identification of Mycoplasma equigenitalium from equine genital tracts in northern India
Although Mycoplasma equigenitalium has been implicated in equine reproductive problems, its prevalence is largely unexplored due to the lack of specific diagnostic tests. To address this limitation, the authors developed and optimized species-specific primer pairs that target M. eguigenitalium rpoB (RNA polymerase B subunit) gene sequences. The specificity of the PCR assay developed in this stu...
متن کاملSuccessful management of an equine carpal chip fracture by intra-articularly injected adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction after arthroscopic removal
Carpal chip fractures are common causes of lameness in racehorses. Due to disadvantages in surgical management, adjuvant treatment modalities are usually necessary. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have the potential to differentiate into other cell types including bone and cartilage cells. Adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) is produced during ADSCs isolation from adipose tissue....

متن کاملReview of Radiographic Technique and Interpretation of the Equine Skull
Acquisition and interpretation of equine skull radiographs is notoriously difficult. However, by dividing the skull into anatomic regions and considering the radiographic appearance of various pathologic changes that occur in these regions, the process of evaluation becomes simpler. This report aims to review acquisition of skull radiographs and radiographic appearance of various diseases in or...
