Over an eight year period (2004-2011) 68 horses with nodular skin disease were diagnosed with 70 tumour like skin lesions. Diagnoses of the 70 nodular lesions were based on clinical features (5), cytology of fine needle aspirates(4), histological examination of either a biopsy or a complete surgical specimen (59) or on a combination of cytology and histology (2). Fifty-nine (84%) of the nodules proved to be genuine tumour like lesions and eleven (16%) were different forms of localised inflammatory dermatitis. Owners (93%) were very supportive of the need to perform histological or cytological investigations (65/70). Sarcoid was the most common nodular lesion (21) followed in order of occurrence by; melanoma (8), squamous cell carcinoma (8), nodular necrobiosis (7), mastocytoma (3), papilloma (2), maligne lymphoma (2), fibroma (2), naevus (1), botryomycosis (1), calcinosis circumscripta (1), collagen tumour (1), follicular hyperplasia (1) and follicular cyst (1). In the present study there was no breed predilection and the mean age of the group was 10.8 year (range 3-23 years). Melanoma occurred in 62.5% of the grey horses (5/8). Nodular necrobiose was only diagnosed in 10% of the cases , because when the nodule was noticed in the girth or saddle region no therapy was performed. Melanoma, nodular necrobiosis and sarcoids were in this relatively small study found on aspecific locations. In 70% (49/70) the nodules were surgical removed with either sedation and local anaesthesia (38) or general anaesthesia (11). Most patients (60.6%) were surgically treated at the practice (42/70). Of the 70 tumour-like lesions 61 lesions were scored for follow-up (for 8 cases no follow up was possible and one case had just started therapy); 64% (39/61) of the horses had no recurrence of the skin lesion(s) and the owners considerd their horses to be cured. Satisfaction rate as judged by owners was even higher: 80% (49/61).

Early stages of navicular disease (ND) in horses have been observed to be associated with chronic lameness. These early stages of disease have been recognised as increased signal intensity in fat suppressed images in the spongiosa of the navicular bone (NB). Calcium dobesilate (CD) has an effect on pressure dynamics in the subchondral bone of osteoarthritic joints of rabbits and could potentially be used as a treatment for the early stages of ND in horses. The aim of this pilot study was to monitor the lameness and the MRI changes in 12 horses diagnosed with chronic foot pain and demonstrating increased signal intensity in fat suppressed images in the spongiosa of the NB. Twelve horses with fore foot lameness of between one month and two year's duration were selected for the study. Inclusion criteria were: absence of radiographic findings on standard foot radiographs and an increased signal intensity in fat suppressed images in the spongiosa of the NB without concurrent lesions detected on MRI scans of the foot. Horses were treated with CD and a controlled exercise regimen and were re-evaluated cl nically and with MRI two and four months after diagnosis. In 10 of 12 horses (83 %) lameness improved between the first and second examination and in 10 horses (91%) between the first and third examinations. Eight of 12 horses were sound at the end of the trial. There was a general trend for reduction in the severity of MRI abnormalities during the study period. Calcium dobesilate is a potential treatment option for horses with foot pain associated with increased signal intensity in fat suppressed images in the spongiosa of the NB. The results of this pilot study suggest that a double blind controlled clinical trial into the effectiveness of CD is warranted.

Dieser Fallbericht beschreibt die erfolgreiche interne Fixation einer offenen Tibiafraktur nach einer Schlagverletzung bei einem 7-jahrigen Islanderwallach. Das Pferd wurde durch den Grostier-Rettungsdienst CH/FL (GTRD CH/FL) in die Klinik transportiert, wo anhand der Rontgenbilder eine offene, diaphysare Schragfraktur der Tibia diagnostiziert wurde. Die Fraktur wurde in Allgemeinanasthesie reponiert und mittels zwei breiten 4.5 dynamischen Kompressionsplatten (DCP) fixiert. Das Pferd wachte im Aufwachbecken aus der Narkose auf. Anschliesend wurde das Pferd wahrend 4 Wochen im TBTN (Tierbergungs- und Transportnetz) gehalten. Wahrend weiteren 6 Wochen hatte das Pferd Boxenruhe und wurde taglich im Schritt gefuhrt. Drei Monate nach der Operation hatte sich eine Schraube gelockert und musste unter Sedation und Lokalanasthesie entfernt werden. Funf Monate nach der Operation konnte das Pferd wieder normal geritten werden. Nach 17 Monaten war das Pferd unregelmasig im Trab und beide Platten wurden in Allgemeinanasthesie entfernt. Danach konnte das Pferd in allen Gangarten geritten werden und es waren keine Komplikationen zu verzeichnen. Das niedrige Korpergewicht und der ruhige Charakter des Pferdes haben sicher zu diesem Erfolg beigetragen.

West Nile Virus (WNV) may cause significant morbidity and mortality in birds, humans and horses. WNV is not (yet) present in the Netherlands, but it is steadily approaching from south-eastern Europe. Recently, a WNV-vaccine (Duvaxyn®-WNV) became available in Europe. It is claimed that vaccination results not or only infrequently in an IgM response making it possible to differentiate acutely-infected horses from vaccinated horses by using an IgM-based ELISA. The aims of the study were to investigate the supposition that vaccination does not result in IgM production, to evaluate whether different intramuscular injection sites influence the immunological responses and whether any local or systemic adverse reactions would occur. Twenty horses and ponies, 3 to 21 years old, were divided into four groups and horses of each group were vaccinated twice (day 0 and 21) at different intramuscular sites (neck, pectoral muscles, rump and thigh). Weekly blood samples were collected over a period of 42 days and tested for Flavivirus IgM antibodies using a WNV-IgM ELISA and for Flavivirus Ig antibodies using a WNV blocking ELISA. None of the horses tested positive for WNV antibodies prior to vaccination. All horses showed a clear Ig (total antibody) response to the WNV vaccination, but in two horses this response was limited. Surprisingly, ten horses also gave a (limited) positive IgM response. This suggests that an IgM capture ELISA will not distinguish horses with an acute WNV infections from recently vaccinated horses with certainty. The location of the intramuscular injections had no significant effect on the immunogenic response. No systemic reactions were encountered nor were there local reactions at any of the injection sites.

The study describes the prevalence of multiple congenital ocular abnormalities (MCOA) in Rocky Mountain Horses and Kentucky Moutain Saddle Horses in Europe. Materials and methods: 35 RMH und KMSH were examined between 1999 and 2010. Their coat color were chocolate (24), seal brown (7), and one each of bay, black, chestnut and palomino. Ciliary body cysts (CBC) were found in 17/35 hor- ses. Two (2/35) horses had multiple congenital ocular abnormalities consistent with anterior segment dysgenesis (ASD). None of the seal brown, black or bay horses had ocular abnormalities, while 18/24 chocolate horses had lesions. One chestnut mare had also bilateral CBC. Fourteen horses (40%) were unaffected. While the prevalence of multiple ocular abnormalities appears to be lower in Europe than in the US, the prevalence of ciliary body cysts is almost the same. Prior to breeding, RMH und KMSH should be carefully examined for the presence of CBC and MCOA. Keywords: Mountain horse, eye, congenital anomaly, anterior segment dysgenesis

Summary Earplugs are occasionally used to reduce horses responsiveness to noise but there performance has not been evaluated. A modified 'micro- phone in real ear' technique was used to quantitatively assess the effects of several earplugs on sound transmission in the external ear of equine cadavers. Significant variations in the performance of the earplugs tested were identified. These results may affect the selection of earplugs for clinical use and should inform the design of future investigations into the clinical utility of earplugs in horses Ohrstopsel werden bei Pferden verwendet um Umgebungslarm zu reduzieren und dadurch das Pferd zu beruhigen oder ruhig zu halten. Die Schallreduktion der am Markt erhaltlichen Ohrstopsel wurde bisher noch nicht wissenschaftlich evaluiert. In dieser Studie wurde eine modifizierte "Mikrophon in echtem Ohr" Methode verwendet um die Abschwachung der Gerauschubertragung durch kommerziell verfug- bare Ohrstopsel zu messen. Es wurden dafur 6 Pferdekadaver verwendet, die in gleicher Weise in einer gepolsterten Aufwachbox gelagert wurden. Die Dimensionen der Pinna wurden gemessen und aufgezeichnet. Ein Mikrophon wurde in den auseren Gehorgang eingebracht und Lautsprecher wurden 1.5 Meter von der Nasenspitze entfernt aufgestellt Danach wurde eine definierte Tonabfolge uber die Lautspre- cher abgespielt und mit dem Mikrophone aufgezeichnet (Basiswert). In weiterer Folge wurden 5 verschiedene kommerziell erwerbbare Ohr- stopsel und ein selbstgemachter Wattestopsel in randomisierter Folge in den auseren Ohrkanal distal des Mikrophons eingebracht und die Tonfolge mit jedem Ohrstopsel dreimal abgespielt und aufgezeichnet. Ein neuerlicher Basiswert wurde zwischen jeder Messung aufge- zeichnet. Die Schallreduktion (minimale, maximale und mittlere "Root Mean Square" Amplitude = RMSA) von jedem einzelnen Produkt sowie die Differenz in den Basiswerten zwischen den Kadavern wurde mittels Kruskal-Wallis Test mit folgendem post-hoc Test auf Signifikanz uberpruft. Signifikante Unterschiede zwischen den 5 Produkten und dem Wattestopsel wurden in der Reduktion des Schalls gefunden. Nur ein einziger kommerziell verfugbarer Ohrstopsel (Finntrack 12704) zeigte eine bessere Reduktion der RMSA Werte als die selbstgemach- ten Wattestopsel. Ein signifikanter Unterschied wurde im Ausgangswert zwischen den Kadavern gefunden. Kein signifikanter Unterschied wurde zwischen den Basiswerten innerhalb eines Kadavers gefunden. Die Schallreduktion der einzelnen Ohrstopsel zwischen Kadavern zeigte keinen signifikanten Unterschied. Diese Pilotstudie zeigt, dass ein groser Unterschied in der Schallreduktion zwischen kommerziell verfugbaren Ohrstopseln besteht. Dies kann die klinische Wahl beeinflussen und eine wichtige Rolle bei zukunftigen Studien spielen in denen eine Schallreduktion eine wichtige Rolle spielt.

Ein Mikrophon wurde in den auseren Gehorgang eingebracht und Lautsprecher wurden 1.5 Meter von der Nasenspitze entfernt aufgestellt Danach wurde eine definierte Tonabfolge uber die Lautspre- cher abgespielt und mit dem Mikrophone aufgezeichnet (Basiswert). In weiterer Folge wurden 5 verschiedene kommerziell erwerbbare Ohr- stopsel und ein selbstgemachter Wattestopsel in randomisierter Folge in den auseren Ohrkanal distal des Mikrophons eingebracht und die Tonfolge mit jedem Ohrstopsel dreimal abgespielt und aufgezeichnet. Ein neuerlicher Basiswert wurde zwischen jeder Messung aufge- zeichnet. Die Schallreduktion (minimale, maximale und mittlere \"Root Mean Square\" Amplitude = RMSA) von jedem einzelnen Produkt sowie die Differenz in den Basiswerten zwischen den Kadavern wurde mittels Kruskal-Wallis Test mit folgendem post-hoc Test auf Signifikanz uberpruft. Signifikante Unterschiede zwischen den 5 Produkten und dem Wattestopsel wurden in der Reduktion des Schalls gefunden. Nur ein einziger kommerziell verfugbarer Ohrstopsel (Finntrack 12704) zeigte eine bessere Reduktion der RMSA Werte als die selbstgemach- ten Wattestopsel. Ein signifikanter Unterschied wurde im Ausgangswert zwischen den Kadavern gefunden. Kein signifikanter Unterschied wurde zwischen den Basiswerten innerhalb eines Kadavers gefunden. Die Schallreduktion der einzelnen Ohrstopsel zwischen Kadavern zeigte keinen signifikanten Unterschied. Diese Pilotstudie zeigt, dass ein groser Unterschied in der Schallreduktion zwischen kommerziell verfugbaren Ohrstopseln besteht. Dies kann die klinische Wahl beeinflussen und eine wichtige Rolle bei zukunftigen Studien spielen in denen eine Schallreduktion eine wichtige Rolle spielt.","PeriodicalId":54626,"journal":{"name":"Pferdeheilkunde","volume":"26 1","pages":"199-203"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2010-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68456909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
multifragment radius Shetland The case discusses the successful treatment of a closed radius fracture with the help of one interfragmentary compression screw and two locking compression plates (LCP) in a mini Shetland pony stallion. Ten months postoperatively, the medial plate had to be removed because of a persisting fistulous tract as a result of an implant infection. The multifragment fracture of the radius was completely healed at 22 months postoperatively. The pony was sound in all three gaits and was again used for driving purposes.

Summary Scientific studies, investigating the aetiology of osteochondrosis focus mainly on the articular-epiphyseal cartilage complex and the growth plate. In osteochondrosis dissecans cleft formation through the necrotic cartilage leads to the formation of intraarticular osteochondral fragments. In contrast to osteochondral fragments located at typical predilection sites, a causative allocation of fragments located at different sites may be more challenging. Only limited numbers of studies have focused on the histological appearance of osteochondral fragments. They are mainly limited to the identification of types of tissue present, but do not further investigate possible specific characteristics and differences of involved components.The aim of the present study was to histologically evaluate osteochondral fragments more in detail to identify possible characteristics which may allow a causative and topographical allocation. A total of 76 osteochondral fragments were examined by two blinded observers. Signs of bone remodeling, enchondral ossification and proteoglycan staining properties were graded semi-quantitatively. The appearance of fibrous tissue or enchondral ossification at the separation border as well as the presence of ligamentous attachments were graded qualitatively. The articular cartilage present was evaluated applying the Mankin score. Significant differences in enchondral ossification (within the fragment and at the separation border), proteoglycan staining properties, the appearance of fibrous tissue at the separation border as well as differences in bone remodeling and in the Mankin scores were detected in osteochondral fragments from different locations. It was concluded that histological evaluation of osteochondral fragments may help in their aetiological allocation and may contribute to future understanding of the disease.
