چکیده
The Milne Lecture, named for AAEP past president and distinguished life member Frank J. Milne, each year honors a researcher for his lifetime of work in a specific field. This year the presenter was Alfred Merritt, DVM, MS, of the University of Florida, who spoke on "The Equine Stomach: A Personal Experience (1963-2003)." Merritt's presentation highlighted advances made in the understanding of how the equine stomach functions and its diseases. He emphasized information on equine gastric ulcer syndrome (EGUS).

متن کاملComparison of commercial RNA extraction kits and qPCR master mixes for studying gene expression in small biopsy tissue samples from the equine gastric epithelium
Gastric tissue biopsy and gene expression analysis are important tools for disease diagnosis and study of the physiology of the equine stomach. However, RNA extraction from gastric biopsy samples is a complex procedure because the samples contain low quantities of RNA and are contaminated with mucous protein and bacterial flora. The objectives of these studies were to compare the performance of...
