Topic:Diagnosis
Diagnosis in horses involves the systematic identification of diseases and conditions affecting equine health. This process relies on a combination of clinical evaluations, laboratory tests, imaging techniques, and other diagnostic tools to assess the health status of horses. Veterinarians utilize these methods to identify symptoms, determine the underlying causes of health issues, and formulate appropriate treatment plans. Diagnostic procedures in equine medicine can include blood tests, ultrasound, radiography, endoscopy, and more specialized tests such as genetic screening or advanced imaging modalities like MRI and CT scans. This page aggregates peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore various diagnostic techniques, their applications, and advancements in the field of equine veterinary medicine.
Studies Into Equine Electrocardiography and Vectorcardiography: II. Cardiac Vector Distributions in Apparently Healthy Horses. The paper describes observations on the distributions of the P, QRS and T cardiac vectors in the horizontal plane in 377 apparently healthy horses. The possible usefulness of vectorcardiography in the clinical evaluation of cardiac function is briefly discussed.
Tumours in large domestic animals in the Netherlands. A pathological study of 333 tumours of farm animals in the Netherlands is presented. Most of the tumours (224) were collected at the Amsterdam abattoir over a period of five consecutive years. The incidence of different types of the tumours is compared with figures compiled in the U.S.A. Tumours in cattle and pigs were less frequent in the Amsterdam material than in the U.S.A., but the incidence in horses and sheep was higher than reported elsewhere. Tumours of the jejunum, the ovaries and to a lesser extent of the heart were more frequent, but those of the skin and male genital organs were le...
Studies into equine electrocardiography and vectorcardiography: I. Cardiac electric forces and the dipole vector theory. Theoretical consideration has been given in two horses to the properties of the electric field created by the equine heart acting as a simple electric generator. The principles of the vectorial theory have been applied to test the validity of application of the dipole concept. The cardiac electric forces, althrough complex in the immediate region of the heart, appear at the body surface in a similar form to those arising from a relatively immobile, single equivalent dipole. The potential value of the technique of vectorcardiography in cardiological investigations is briefly discussed.
Two cases of suspected Brucella abortus abortion in mares. Extract
Recent reviews of brucellosis in horses (Stableforth and Galloway, Citation1959; Mascaro and Hoffman, Citation1963: Ritscher, Citation1963) refer to Brucella abortus associated with fistulous withers, arthritis and debility and emphasize the rarity of abortion caused by this organism. One case of abortion in a mare caused by Br. abortus was reported as having occurred in Iowa, U.S.A. (McNutt and Murray, Citation1924).

Equine antihapten antibody. The subunits and fragments of anti-beta-lactoside antibody. Eight antigenically unique immunoglobulins have been identified in purified equine anti-p-azophenyl-beta-lactoside (Lac) antibody isolated from a single horse. The Fc fragments of the gammaGa-, gammaGb-, gammaGc-, and -gammaA-globulins have been shown to possess unique antigenic determinants. Common gammaG- and gammaA-Fc fragment antigenic determinants, which were absent from the 10Sgamma(1)- and gammaM-globulins, have also been observed. All antibody populations share two antigenically distinct light (B, L) chain variants. The association of anti-Lac antibody with the hapten p-(p-dimethylamin...
