A Computed Tomographic and Pathological Study of Equine Cheek Teeth Infundibulae Extracted From Asymptomatic Horses. Part 2: MicroCT, Gross, and Histological Findings.

Equine maxillary cheek teeth infundibulae are frequently affected by developmental and acquired disorders, but the imaging, gross, and histological features of normal and abnormal infundibulae remain incompletely understood. To perform MicroCT, gross examination, and histology on sectioned teeth and compare the imaging and anatomical findings. original study.

A Computed Tomographic (CT) and Pathological Study of Equine Cheek Teeth Infundibulae Extracted From Asymptomatic Horses. Part 1: Prevalence, Type and Location of Infundibular Lesions on CT Imaging.

Equine maxillary cheek teeth infundibulae are frequently affected by developmental and acquired disorders, but the computed tomographic (CT) imaging features of normal and abnormal infundibulae remain incompletely understood. To examine infundibulae with various grades of occlusal caries and control teeth by standard CT in order to assess the prevalence, type and location of subocclusal infundibular lesions present. original study.

Gingival Fibrosarcoma in a Horse.

A 4-year-old thoroughbred cross mare was referred to the University of Edinburgh Veterinary School Equine Hospital for treatment of a soft tissue tumor on the buccal gingival margin of the rostral right maxillary cheek teeth. The lesion was initially surgically excised and diagnosed as a fibrosarcoma via histopathology. Adjunctive treatment with intralesional cisplatin chemotherapy was begun.

Long-term effect of cued fear conditioning on REM sleep microarchitecture in rats.

Study Objectives: To study long-term effects of conditioned fear on REM sleep (REMS) parameters in albino rats.

Design: We have investigated disturbances in sleep architecture, including muscle twitch density as REMS phasic activity, and freezing behavior in wakefulness, upon reexposure to a conditioned stimulus (CS) on Day 1 and Day 14 postconditioning.

Subjects: Male Sprague-Dawley rats prepared for polysomnographic recordings.
