Topic:Clinical Findings
Clinical findings in horses encompass a range of observable signs and symptoms identified during veterinary examinations that contribute to diagnosing and managing equine health conditions. These findings can include physical observations, such as changes in behavior, posture, or gait, as well as physiological measurements like heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature. Diagnostics may also involve laboratory tests, imaging, and other diagnostic procedures to assess organ function and detect abnormalities. Recognizing and interpreting clinical findings are essential components of veterinary practice, aiding in the identification of diseases, monitoring treatment progress, and guiding therapeutic interventions. This page brings together peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the methodologies, interpretations, and implications of clinical findings in the context of equine health care.
The cancellation of mirror-image electrocardiograms in the horse. The paper describes the use of a four-electrode cancellation technique, employing a bridge circuit to cancel mirror-image ECGs on the body surface of six horses. The axes joining points at which good cancellations were obtained were plotted on planar diagrams. Evidence is presented which suggests that a considerable proportion of cardiac activity could be regarded as though arising from the activity of a single resultant dipole although there is probably some mobility of the dipole centre during different parts of the cardiac cycle.
Equine isoerythrolysis–clinical pathological observations and transfusion of dam’s red blood cells to her foal. Clinical pathological investigations in a case of equine isoerythrolysis are reported. Plasma and milk from the dam strongly agglutinated the foal's red blood cells at fifth day post partum. Red blood cells from one liter of the mare's blood were separated from plasma and after three successive washings with saline were successfully transfused into the foal. Elevated plasma transaminase activity, hypoglycemia, hypogammaglobinemia, and renal embarrassment were observed in this foal. The changes in the various plasma constituents are discussed.
An equine intersex with unilateral gonadal agenesis. Cytogenetic and histological studies have been carried out on an intersex horse which was clinically diagnosed as a cryptorchid. The horse had the general conformation of a stallion but the external genitalia included a well developed vulva and a penis. The right testis which was descended was devoid of germ cells and the left "gonad" located in the cavum vaginale contained neither testicular nor ovarian tissue. The male duct system on both sides were relatively well developed despite the absence of a testis on the left side. Chromosome analysis on cultured cells from the descended testis reve...
