Anatomy of equine incisors: Pulp horns and subocclusal dentine thickness.

Background: Equine incisors are often reduced in height during corrective dental procedures. Increased knowledge of subocclusal dentine thickness and pulp morphology may help prevent iatrogenic pulpar exposure. Although such data exist for equine cheek teeth, there are currently no reliable data for incisors.

Uneven distribution of enamel, dentine and cementum in cheek teeth of domestic horses (Equus caballus): A micro computed tomography study.

Background: Hypsodont equine cheek teeth possess large dental crowns, resting partly in the bony alveolus. Over a horse's life cheek teeth erupt continuously to compensate for occlusal wear of 3-4 mm per year. Parts of the crown initially resting in the bony alveolus become progressively exposed at the occlusal surface with time.

Effects of early treatment with immunoglobulin on critical illness polyneuropathy following multiple organ failure and gram-negative sepsis.

Objective: The evaluation of incidences and relating factors of severe persisting critical illness polyneuropathy (CIP) in survivors of multiple organ failure (MOF).

Design: Prospective study with an entry period of 24 months. Electrophysiological studies for the diagnosis of CIP were performed 1 or 2 days before the patients were discharged from the intensive care unit (ICU).
