Topic:Clinical Study
Clinical studies in equine research involve the systematic investigation of health and disease in horses through structured scientific methods. These studies aim to evaluate the safety and efficacy of treatments, understand disease mechanisms, and improve veterinary care practices. Clinical studies can include randomized controlled trials, observational studies, and case-control studies. They may focus on various aspects such as pharmacokinetics, therapeutic interventions, and diagnostic techniques. This page compiles peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the design, implementation, and findings of clinical studies in equine medicine, providing insights into their impact on horse health and veterinary practices.
Traumatic duodenitis with subsequent thrombosis of the posterior vena cava in a horse. The possible sequelae of traumatic perforation
of the reticulum of cattle are described by Blood
and Henderson (1963). Traumatic splenitis and
hepatitis following perforation of the reticulum
have also been described in detail (Blood and
Hutchins 1955).
Frank (1959) described and illustrated both
thrombus formation and stricture of the posterior
vena cava following traumatic reticulitis with subsequent abscess formation. The proximity of the
abscess to the posterior vena cava apparently
caused erosion of the vessel wall, and the inflammatory reaction initiated the formation of a
thr...
Comparative action of various kininogenases on crude horse plasma substrates. The kininogenase activity of trypsin, plasmin, plasma kallikrein and heated Bothrops venom was compared, using fresh, heated and heat-acid-denatured horse plasma as source of kininogen. The venom kininogenase was found to have the highest activity on fresh horse plasma, followed by plasmin and trypsin which were equally active, and plasma kallikrein which was half as active as plasmin on these substrates. Plasmin and trypsin released more kinin from heat-treated than from fresh plasma whereas kallikrein released half as much as it liberates from fresh plasma. On heat-aciddenatured plasma equal...
