Background: Attributions are the processes by which individuals explain the causes of positive and negative events. A maladaptive attributional style has been associated with reduced self-esteem, psychosocial functioning, and mental health. Although many psychosocial interventions target an individual's attributional style in mental disorders, studies of its alterations in Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) are sparse.

Objectives: To compare: (1) bone mineral density (BMD) in weight bearing and nonweight bearing bones in PPID equids and aged and young PPID controls; and (2) biomechanical properties of the fourth lumbar vertebral body in PPID equids and aged PPID equids.
Study Design: Case-control study: five PPID equids and six aged and four young PPID control horses.
Background: Treatment with phenylbutazone (nonselective COX inhibitor) decreases the diuretic and natriuretic effects of furosemide by nearly 30% but the effects of COX-2 specific inhibitors (firocoxib) and atypical NSAIDs (dipyrone) are unknown.
Hypothesis: Furosemide-induced diuresis after pretreatment with firocoxib or dipyrone is diminished to a lesser extent than after pretreatment with phenylbutazone.
Animals: Eight healthy mares.
Article Synopsis
- Equine thyroid disorders are complex to diagnose due to the horse's ability to tolerate fluctuations in thyroid hormone levels and the impact of various nonthyroidal factors on their thyroid axis.
- While benign thyroid tumors are common in older horses, true conditions like hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are rare, and there’s a misconception that low thyroid hormone levels in horses indicate hypothyroidism, particularly when linked to symptoms like obesity and poor performance.
- Assessing thyroid function in horses involves measuring hormone levels, but interpretation is tricky, and dynamic tests can aid diagnosis; typically, thyroid hormone supplementation is used more for managing issues like obesity rather than treating true hypothyroidism, which is uncommon.
