Horse shoe shaped lipoma of the upper extremity is a very rare entity. We present a case of 45 years old female who presented with painless progressive swelling over the distal forearm and tingling and numbness over the ulnar nerve territory. MRI and surgical exploration showed a horse shoe shaped multilobulated lipoma encasing the distal ulna. The mass was excised in toto, and the sensory alterations were completely relieved at three months follow up. We would like to highlight this rare occurrence of a horse shoe lipoma and present a detailed history of this case to increase awareness amongst clinicians regarding this condition.

Mucinous adenocarcinoma in kidneys with developmental anomalies - a report of two cases.
BMC Urol
November 2024
Department of Urology, Kasturba Medical College, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, Karnataka, 576104, India.
Article Synopsis
- Primary mucinous adenocarcinomas of the kidney are rare and their origins are unclear, with theories including chronic irritation and kidney maldevelopment.
- Two cases are presented: one involving a 50-year-old male with a duplex collecting system who had invasive mucinous carcinoma, and another case with a 53-year-old male who had a horseshoe kidney and recurrent mucinous adenocarcinoma after previous surgery.
- Both cases highlight the association between mucinous adenocarcinomas and kidney anomalies, emphasizing the importance of histopathology for diagnosis.
Risks of Renal Anomalies and Urinary Tract Infections in Neonates With Single Umbilical Artery.
Cureus
October 2024
Department of Pediatrics, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Hong Kong, HKG.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on congenital anomalies of the kidneys and urinary tracts (CAKUT) and urinary tract infections (UTI) in babies with a single umbilical artery (SUA), analyzing data from 2006 to 2020.
- A total of 291 babies were examined, revealing a CAKUT prevalence of 7%, with hydronephrosis being the most common anomaly, and many significant conditions identified before birth.
- The researchers found that congenital heart defects, limb abnormalities, and sacral issues were linked to CAKUT, and 2.1% of the babies developed UTIs, particularly those with CAKUT.
Hoof slip duration at impact in galloping Thoroughbred ex-racehorses trialling eight shoe-surface combinations.
PLoS One
October 2024
The Royal Veterinary College, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom.
Article Synopsis
- Horseshoes significantly affect the safety and performance of racehorses by providing necessary traction while managing hoof slip, which can help reduce stress and potential injuries.
- The study measured hoof slip duration in retired Thoroughbreds galloping on turf and artificial tracks with different shoeing setups using high-speed video, analyzing data from 389 hoof interactions.
- Findings revealed that slip duration varied among shoeing conditions and surfaces, with the leading hindlimb typically having the shortest slip duration, while turf generally resulted in longer slip durations for most limbs compared to artificial track surfaces.
Horseshoe effects on equine gait-A systematic scoping review.
Vet Surg
September 2024
Laboratory for Equine and Comparative Orthopedic Research, Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, School of Veterinary Medicine, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA.
Objective: To provide an overview of available research about effects of horseshoes on equine kinetics and kinematics.
Methods: The terms, "horse/equine," "hoof," "shoes/horseshoes," "kinetics," and "kinematics" were searched in PubMed, Web of Science, Center for Agriculture and Bioscience International, and United States Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Library for manuscripts from first availability to 2024. Independent reviewers used preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines to map and extract evidence-based data from sources.
Effects of different shoeing conditions on equine cervical and back kinematics during walking and trotting on a soft surface.
J Equine Vet Sci
November 2024
University of Calgary, Department of veterinary science, 3280 Hospital Dr NW, Calgary AB T2N 4Z6, Canada.
There is a paucity of scientific data on the effect of shoeing on equine neck and back kinematics during locomotion over commonly used sand training surfaces. A better appreciation of how alterations at hoof-ground interface influence equine upper body movements is relevant for improving horse's health and performance. Our objectives were to determine the effects of different shoeing conditions on equine neck and back kinematics at walk and trot in straight line over sand.
