The group consisted of 15 horses and 6 ponies of various breeds and the age ranged from 3 to 19 years. The desmotomy was performed on the standing sedated horse (except the minishetland horses, where the surgery was done under general anaesthesia) and NSAIDS were given post-operatively. All horses were rested or hand walked for 47 days until resuming work. At the time of the study the desmotomy has been performed 2 months to six years ago. The operation had been succesfull in all patients and no reoccurence of proximal patella fixation was observed. Most of the animals (19/21) went back to their original work including dressage, show jumping, circus and pleasure riding. Two patients were lame at the time of the examination, in one case the cause of the lameness was identified as a bonespavin, the other horse had lesions in the femorotibial joint. The radiologic evaluation, which was compared to the pictures before desmotomy, showed several pathologic changes of the patella and the margo cranialis of the crista tibiae, but were of no clinical consequence. None of the ponies showed any radiologic changes. Manual palpation revealed a fibrous structure on the medial aspect of the stifle joint at 4 months after desmotomy suggesting reparation tissue of the medial patella ligament by this time. Most owners (19/21) were satisfied with the outcome of this treatment. This study demonstrates that the medial patellar desmotomy is an effective treatment of the pathological proximal patellar fixation in equines. The post-operative mangement seems to be of great importance for the outcome of this treatment.","PeriodicalId":54626,"journal":{"name":"Pferdeheilkunde","volume":"17 1","pages":"208-216"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2001-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70657301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Retained placenta was defined as failure to expel all fetal membranes within 3 hours after the delivery of the foal. The group of mares with retained placenta was subdivided into mares in which the placenta had been removed manually (n=30) and mares in which it was not (n=24). Within each group, reproductive performance after breeding in the foal heat and breeding in a subsequent heat was compared. Age of the mares, number of mares treated with antibiotics after insemination, and number of mares treated with prostaglandins were recorded. The interval between delivery and conception, efficacy rate, seasonal pregnancy rate, pregnancy rate after first insemination, pregnancy loss rate, and fooling rate did not differ between the mares with, and without retained placenta or between the mares with and without manual removal of the retained placenta. Within each group, the pregnancy rate after first insemination did not differ between breeding for the first time in the foal heat and breeding for the first time in a subsequent heat. It is concluded that reproductive performance did not differ between 1) Friesian mares with and without retained placenta and, 2) Friesian mares with and without manual removal of the placenta. With regard to reproductive performance, retained placenta and manual removal of the placenta are not valid reasons to avoid foal heat breeding in Friesian mares.","PeriodicalId":54626,"journal":{"name":"Pferdeheilkunde","volume":"68 1","pages":"633-638"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2001-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68454840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As possible risk factors for retained placenta, serum calcium, magnesium (n = 155), and vitamin-E concentrations, and glutathion peroxidase activity in blood (n=99) were determined within 12 hours post partum and compared between mares with and without retained placenta. Age of the mare, sex of the foal, gestational length and recurrence of retained placenta were recorded and also compared between mares with and without retained placenta.

The environmental dust burden was evaluated by means of an air filtration system and an optical counter with laser diode. Dust particles were sorted in eight size classes ranging from 0.3 to >20 μm. Qualitative evaluation of dust components was achieved by means of a Surface air system sampler (Sas). Total dust, which ranged from 0.03 mg/m3 to 0.40 mg/m3, prooved highly related with mast cell differential count (r = 0.61; P = 0.03). Besides, BALF mastcells differential count decreased significantly when hay was soaked.

The horses were 26 mares, 28 geldings and 1 stallion of different breeds aged between 4 and 30 years (10.9±5.3). Physical examination, rhinoscopy, diagnostic imaging, treatment and prognosis were evaluated. Dental disease (n=34) was the most common cause of chronic sinusitis. The typical clinical sign of sinusitis was nasal discharge in 52 cases that was unilateral in 49 cases. In 29 horses the nasal discharge was purulent and had a fetid odor resulting from dental disease in 28 cases. With radiography in 47 cases a fluid line could be visualized in 1 or more sinuses. Signs of dental involvement in 1 or more tooth roots were suspected in 39 cases. However, only in 20 cases it could be diagnosed with certainty based on the radiographs. 25 horses were treated conservatively. Of these horses 5 had to undergo surgery after conservative treatment had failed. Altogether 21 horses underwent surgery. One tooth had to be removed in 13 cases and 2 teeth in one case. They were M1 (n=8), PM4 (n=5), M2 (n=1) or PM3 (n=1). Postoperative complications were common and consisted of chronic sinusitis (n=5), draining tracts (n=4), oral fistula (n=4) or facial wound dehiscence (n=2). Because of complications 6 horses required on additional surgical procedure. 26 horses that were treated for either primary sinusitis or sinusitis caused by dental disease were available for follow-up after 2 months.

But it can also be an incidental finding (Ferraro, 1990). A 14 year old Trakehner stallion was presented to the Veterinary Hospital of the University of Zurich with a history of an abnormal inspiratory noise increasing with exercise. The general physical examination showed no abnormalities. By endoscopy during exercise on a high-speed treadmill the diagnosis of intermittent epiglottic entrapment could be made. Therapy consisted of two transendoscopic surgeries two days apart. In the first session subepiglotteal tissue was resected via a transoral approach, in a second session the aryepiglottic folds were partly removed. Both manipulations were performed electrosurgically with a wire snare in the standing, sedated horse and local anaesthesia of the mucosal membranes. No medication was given after surgery. The horse was fed fresh gras and was walked daily for 15 minutes for one week. Six days after the second surgery no abnormalities on general physical examination and during an endoscopy at rest were present. By exercise endoscopy on the treadmill the Epiglottic entrapment could not be induced any more neither at the same or at higher exercise intensities than before surgery. The main advantages of the surgical technique used in this case are the easy to perform procedure, minimal trauma by the transoral approach and a short reconvalescence period.","PeriodicalId":54626,"journal":{"name":"Pferdeheilkunde","volume":"13 1","pages":"113-116"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"1997-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70645021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
