Antimicrobial susceptibility of bacterial isolates from 33 thoroughbred horses with arytenoid chondropathy (2005-2019).

Objective: To describe the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of bacterial isolates cultured from surgical specimens of infected arytenoid cartilage and granulomas.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Animals: Thirty-three thoroughbred horses.

Clinical Assessment of an Ipsilateral Cervical Spinal Nerve Block for Prosthetic Laryngoplasty in Anesthetized Horses.

The nociceptive blockade of locoregional anesthesia prior to surgical stimulation can decrease anesthetic agent requirement and thereby potential dose-dependent side effects. The use of an ipsilateral second and third cervical spinal nerve locoregional anesthetic block for prosthetic laryngoplasty in the anesthetized horses has yet to be described. Anesthetic records of 20 horses receiving locoregional anesthesia prior to laryngoplasty were reviewed and compared to 20 horses of a similar patient cohort not receiving locoregional anesthesia.

Triple antithrombotic therapy following an acute coronary syndrome: prevalence, outcomes and prognostic utility of the HAS-BLED score.

Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of triple antithrombotic therapy (TT) (warfarin, aspirin and clopidogrel) in patients following an acute coronary syndrome (ACS), the bleeding risk compared to double antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) (aspirin and clopidogrel) and evaluate the accuracy of the HAS-BLED risk score in predicting serious bleeding events in TT patients.

Methods And Results: We retrospectively identified all ACS patients on TT upon discharge from the Coronary Care Unit at Skane University Hospital between 2005 and 2010. TT patients were compared to age- and sex-matched control patients discharged with DAPT.

Intravenous continuous infusion of lidocaine for treatment of equine ileus.

Objective: To determine if intravenous lidocaine is useful and safe as a treatment for equine ileus.

Study Design: Prospective double-blinded placebo-controlled trial.

Study Population: Horses (n = 32) with a diagnosis of postoperative ileus (POI) or enteritis and that had refluxed >20 L or had been refluxing for >24 hours.

Objective: To determine clinical characteristics of and outcome in Thoroughbred racehorses with tibial or humeral stress fractures.

Design: Retrospective study.

Animals: 99 Thoroughbreds with tibial or humeral stress fractures.
