BACKGROUND Previous analysis of the behavioural effects of spinal cord injury has focussed on coordination in the sagittal plane of movement between joints, limb girdle pairs or thoracic and pelvic limb pairs. In this study we extend the functional analysis of the consequences of clinical thoracolumbar spinal cord injury in dogs to quantify the well-recognised deficits in lateral stability duri...

OBJECTIVES To study the efficacy of hypertonic fluid therapy on central haemodynamics, leg blood flow, and skeletal muscle metabolism at reperfusion after subtotal bilateral limb ischaemia. DESIGN Prospective, randomised, controlled study, in pigs (n = 24). METHODS Bilateral limb ischaemia was induced (aortic balloon catheter) and central haemodynamics, peripheral blood flow-thoracic fluid ...

ABSTRACT The present study aimed to evaluate and compare the palmar plantar digital arteries of 10 horses mules through B-mode spectral Doppler ultrasound. Likewise, pelvic limbs with thoracic limbs, in addition verifying differences contralateral (right left) using ultrasonography. evaluated parameters were diameter intima-media thickness (IMT), resistivity index (RI), pulsatility (PI), peak s...
