Background: Evaluating antibody titers for Sarcocystis neurona for the diagnosis of equine protozoal myeloencephalitis from serum samples is a common practice. However, ensuring timely and proper refrigeration is not always possible.
Objectives: To evaluate immunofluorescent antibody (IFA) titers for S.
Case-based diagnostic reasoning conferences, like morning reports, allow undergraduate medical trainees to practice diagnostic reasoning alongside senior clinicians. However, trainees have reported discomfort doing so. Peer-assisted learning offers an alternative approach.

Here we examine interspecies differences in RNA-protein interactions using the conserved neuronal RNA-binding protein, Unkempt (UNK) as model. We find that roughly half of mRNAs bound in human are also bound in mouse.

- Radiological evaluations of the cervicothoracic junction in horses with neck-related clinical signs haven't been thoroughly analyzed before this study.
- The research compared 127 control horses to 96 horses showing symptoms like neck pain, forelimb lameness, and proprioceptive ataxia, using standardized clinical and radiological methods.
- Findings indicated that horses with clinical signs had a higher likelihood of severe articular process issues and spondylolisthesis at C7-T1, and showed various radiological abnormalities that stress the need for detailed assessments in symptomatic horses.
Background: Parasympathetic tone activity (PTA) in response to nociceptive stimulus in conscious non-sedated horses is unknown.
Objectives: Study PTA, heart rate (HR), and horse grimace scale (HGS) at rest and during mechanical nociceptive stimulation.
Animals: Ninety healthy young adult horses (females, males): 30 each of Friesians, Quarter Horses, and Warmbloods.
