1. Clinical Implications and Hospital Outcome of Immune‐Mediated Myositis in Horses

Author:
Hunyadi, L.; Sundman, E.A.; Kass, P.H.; Williams, D.C.; Aleman, M.
Source:
Journal of veterinary internal medicine 2017 v.31 no.1 pp. 170-175
ISSN:
0891-6640
Subject:
Anaplasma phagocytophilum; Quarter Horse; cohort studies; fever; gait; histology; horses; hospitals; influenza; muscular atrophy; myositis; pathogens; probability; prognosis; regression analysis; rhabdomyolysis; therapeutics
Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Immune‐mediated myositis (IMM) is a cause of rhabdomyolysis, stiffness, and muscle atrophy predominantly affecting Quarter horses. Limited information is available with regard to outcome, prognostic indicators, and associations with concurrent diseases. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES: To report outcomes and associations between outcome and clinical and laboratory parameters, and presence of con ...

2. Duodenitis‐Proximal Jejunitis in Horses After Experimental Administration of Clostridium difficile Toxins

Author:
Arroyo, L.G.; Costa, M.C.; Guest, B.B.; Plattner, B.L.; Lillie, B.N.; Weese, J.S.
Source:
Journal of veterinary internal medicine 2017 v.31 no.1 pp. 158-163
ISSN:
0891-6640
Subject:
Clostridium difficile; animal models; blood; clinical examination; fibrinogen; gastrointestinal system; gastroscopy; histology; histopathology; horses; mixed breeds; pathogenesis; tissues; total solids; toxins; ultrasonography
Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Duodenitis‐proximal jejunitis (DPJ) is an acute sporadic gastrointestinal disorder of horses of unknown cause. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES: We hypothesize that Clostridium difficile toxins are involved in the pathogenesis of DPJ in horses. The objective of this study was to determine whether experimentally delivered C. difficile toxins cause clinical signs and histologic lesions similar to t ...

3. Effect of Dexamethasone on Resting Blood Lactate Concentrations in Horses

Author:
Mizen, K.; Woodman, J.; Boysen, S.R.; Wagg, C.; Greco‐Otto, P.; Léguillette, R.; Roy, M.‐F.
Source:
Journal of veterinary internal medicine 2017 v.31 no.1 pp. 164-169
ISSN:
0891-6640
Subject:
adrenal cortex hormones; adults; blood; cross-over studies; dexamethasone; dogs; experimental design; glucose; horses; humans; lactic acid; least squares; metabolism
Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Blood lactate concentration is a marker of tissue perfusion and helps guide therapeutic interventions in critically ill horses. In both humans and dogs, administration of corticosteroids can increase blood lactate concentration, leading to type B hyperlactatemia. This effect could be a consequence of the impact of corticosteroids on glucose metabolism. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the ef ...

4. Hemostatic Findings in Ascitic Fluid: A Cross‐Sectional Study in 70 Dogs

Author:
Zoia, A.; Drigo, M.; Piek, C.J.; Simioni, P.; Caldin, M.
Source:
Journal of veterinary internal medicine 2017 v.31 no.1 pp. 43-50
ISSN:
0891-6640
Subject:
ascites; coagulation; cross-sectional studies; dogs; fibrinogen; horses; humans; osmotic pressure; pathophysiology
Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Ascitic fluids of horses and humans have fibrinolytic activity, independent of the underlying mechanism of fluid formation. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether coagulation and fibrinogenolytic/fibrinolytic activity (ie, low fibrinogen and increased fibrin–fibrinogen degradation products [FDPs], D‐dimer, or both) occur in all types of ascitic fluid in dogs. ANIMALS: A total of 70 client‐own ...

5. The Effect of Inadequate Presample Blood Volume Withdrawal from Intravenous Catheter and Extension Sets on Measured Circulating L‐Blood Lactate Concentration in Horses Receiving Lactated Ringer's Solution

Author:
Marqués, F.J.; Higgins, S.; Chapuis, R.; Waldner, C.
Source:
Journal of veterinary internal medicine 2017 v.31 no.1 pp. 51-54
ISSN:
0891-6640
Subject:
adults; blood; blood sampling; blood volume; catheters; horses; intravenous injection; jugular vein; lactic acid; statistical models
Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Circulating l‐lactate concentration is commonly measured in hospitalized horses by sampling from indwelling intravenous (IV) catheters. However, there are no published evidence‐based recommendations to prevent contamination by lactated Ringer's solution (LRS). HYPOTHESIS: Withdrawing 10 mL of blood from the LRS‐containing extension set connected to the IV catheter before obtaining the ...
