Chronic pleuropulmonary fibrosis and elastosis of aged donkeys: similarities to human pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis. Donkey pulmonary fibrosis (DPF) is a spontaneous syndrome of aged donkeys with a high prevalence (35%). No previous detailed characterization of DPF has been performed. We sought to determine the similarities between DPF and recognized patterns of human pulmonary fibrosis. Methods: Whole lungs were collected from 32 aged donkeys at routine necropsy. Gross examination revealed pulmonary fibrosis in 19 donkeys (DPF cases), whereas 13 (control cases) had grossly normal lungs. Eighteen whole inflated ex vivo lungs (11 DPF cases, seven control cases) were imaged with high-resolution CT (HRCT) scan,...
Equine arch vessel anomaly associated with coarctation of the aorta. Angiography in a 30-year-old man revealed the unique combination of aortic coarctation and an unusual arch anomaly. Proximal to the coarctation, a single arch vessel trifurcated into the brachiocephalic, left common carotid and left subclavian arteries. This anomalous arch vessel is a normal equine variant.
Role of intracranial [H+] receptor in physiologic regulation of ventilation in ponies. Numerous studies have demonstrated the existence of an intracranial [H+] chemoreceptor mechanism capable of stimulating ventilation. 1 Supposedly, this chemoreceptor is located 0.2 mm below the surface of the ventrolateral side of the medulla and is responsive to [H+] in the surrounding cerebral extracellular fluid (ECF). During chronic conditions, ECF [H+] is supposedly in equilibrium with CSF [H+]; hence, stimulus level can be established through sampling and analysis of CSF. In this presentation, we summarize data from studies on spontaneously breathing, unanesthetized ponies which suggests...
