Laminitis is a common debilitating disease in horses that involves painful disruption of the lamellar dermo-epidermal junction within the hoof. This condition is often refractory to conventional anti-inflammatory analgesia and results in unremitting pain, which in severe cases requires euthanasia. The mechanisms underlying pain in laminitis were investigated using quantification of behavioural ...

Subclinical seizures (SCS) have rarely been considered in the diagnosis and therapy of epilepsy and have not been systematically analyzed in studies on seizure prediction. Here, we investigate whether predictions of subclinical seizures are feasible and how their occurrence may affect the performance of prediction algorithms. Using the European database of long-term recordings of surface and in...

This clinical study , carried out from 1996 to 1999, was aimed at assessing the effect of varicoceletomy on the spermogram of patients with subclinical varicocele. A total of 142 patients (mean age 28.1 ± 4.3) with varicocele (63 with subclinical) took part in the study. All individuals were informed and were satisfied to get involve in the study. Two spermograms were recorded one at the beginn...

Renal dysfunction, both acute and chronic, is a recognized association of overt hypothyroidism. We describe a patient who developed renal dysfunction at the stage of subclinical hypothyroidism. We emphasize that renal dysfunction is a reflection of tissue hypothyroidism, dissociated with the severity of biochemical hypothyroidism and can manifest in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism. Thi...

Horses with navicular disease, laminitis, and bone spavin redistribute weight to unload the painful aspect of the foot/limb. Wedges aided this redistribution but shoe extensions did not. It is not appropriate to undertake studies into the mechanics of corrective farriery on sound horses of good conformation and then extrapolate these results to predict the effect of corrective shoeing on a lame...

Horses with pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction or equine metabolic syndrome require special consideration because insulin resistance can be associated with these conditions. Sufficient calories must be provided to these patients without exacerbating insulin resistance or triggering laminitis in susceptible animals. Author’s address: 2407 River Drive, Knoxville, TN 37996; and University of No...

background: the influence of hashimoto’s thyroiditis (ht) with subclinical hypothyroidism or euthyroid status on the alteration of glucagon-like peptide (glp)-1 and glp-2 levels remains uncertain. materials and methods: twenty-four untreated ht patients with subclinical hypothyroidism, 24 euthyroid ht patients, and 24 age- and gender-matched controls were enrolled in the study. the levels of gl...

the importance of vessel structure has been shown in pathogenesis of the equine and bovine laminitis. investigation on vessel structures is necessary to diagnose the mechanism of laminitis. due to lack of literature on ovine digital arteries. ovine digital vessels were studied using corrosion casting method. the hind limbs of 15 lambs of 3 months ages were separated from tarsus joint. after the...
