Article Synopsis
- * The study examined 266 young horses in Wallonia for correlations between conformation traits (foot and fetlock angles and height at withers) and the presence of these fragments, utilizing radiographic screenings.
- * Key findings showed significant links between specific foot angles and fragment presence, including a notable palmar angle correlation, while an optimal cut-off for predicting fragment presence based on height at withers and bone diameter was established.
Article Synopsis
- - Laminitis in horses causes severe pain and can lead to euthanasia, prompting research for better treatments through an in vitro model that tests cell responses to stressful conditions.
- - The study found that during reoxygenation, keratinocytes (skin cells) show reduced metabolism, indicating cellular stress, but introducing muscle-derived stem cells helped restore their function.
- - Additionally, exposure to activated neutrophils increased cell activity related to inflammation, which stem cells could help regulate, suggesting their potential use in treating laminitis through cell therapy.
Osteochondrosis dissecans is a particularly common developmental orthopaedic disorder in equines. Among its causes, the hereditary component is no longer a matter of debate, and, for several decades, the various studbooks for sport horses have been selecting stallions in order to limit the prevalence of this condition in the population. However, to our knowledge, no study has evaluated changes in the prevalence of osteochondrosis dissecans over time through longitudinal monitoring of a population of sport horses.

Study Design: Retrospective, clinical, cohort study.
Animals: A group of 73 client-owned horses treated with salbutamol when PaO <100 mmHg (13.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of inhaled salbutamol versus salmeterol in treating arterial hypoxaemia in anesthetized horses.
- A total of 108 horses were anesthetized for various procedures and randomly given either salbutamol or salmeterol if their oxygen levels dropped below a specific threshold.
- Results showed that salbutamol was significantly more effective, with a higher percentage of horses showing improvements in oxygen levels compared to those treated with salmeterol.
