Topic:Diagnostic Technique
Diagnostic techniques in equine medicine encompass a range of procedures and tools used to identify diseases, injuries, or other health conditions in horses. These techniques include imaging methods such as radiography, ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as well as laboratory tests like blood work and tissue biopsies. Each diagnostic method provides specific information that can aid in the assessment and management of equine health issues. Radiography is commonly used for evaluating bone structures, while ultrasonography is useful for soft tissue examination. MRI offers detailed images of both soft and hard tissues, though its use is limited by cost and availability. Laboratory tests can detect biochemical and hematological changes indicative of disease. This page compiles peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the development, application, and efficacy of various diagnostic techniques in equine veterinary practice.
The radiographic status of the left fore fetlock of winning thoroughbreds at Ontario racetracks in 1970. FOR MANY YEARS, concern has been expressed at the wastage of young Thoroughbreds at the racetrack. This concern even manifested itself in the publication of a book (1) which referred to the prevailing practice of prematurely start-ing the racing career of the Thoroughbred long before it had attained sufficient maturity to engage in stiff, damaging competition. This is not a fault of the Thoroughbred industry alone, because in certain parts of the U.S.A., Quarter Horses less than two years of age are already racing. We could swing to the opposite extreme, of course, to the pleasure horse world ...
[Studies on doping test by gas liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. I. Detection and identification of sulpyrine, aminopyrine and their metabolites in the horse urine]. When sulpyrine and aminopyrine are administered to the horse, unchanged aminopyrine and its metabolites, 4-methylaminoantipyrine and 4-aminoantipyrine, are detected in the urine by means of thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and gas liquid chromatography. Further identification of aminopyrine and these metabolites was carried out by the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method. The procedures for separation and identification are as follows : The excretions were adjusted to pH 9 with ammonium hydroxide and extracted with chloroform. The extract was separated by TLC. The spots were loca...
