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.
A note on a simple estimation of amphetamine, methylamphetamine and ephedrine in horse urine. A chromatographic separation of amphetamine, methylamphetamine and ephedrine from horse urine is possible on alkaline Silica Gel G plates developed with acetone-methanol (1:3). After elution, the bases are determined colorimetrically. The intensity of the violet colour resulting from the nitration of amphetamine is measured in a Unicam SP1300 colorimeter using filter No. 1 (sensitivity 50–250 μg). The colour produced by the interaction of methylamphetamine, sodium nitro-prusside, acetaldehyde and triethanolamine is measured at 590 mμ (sensitivity 200–2,000 μg). Ephedrine was determined ...
Mandibular fracture and fracture repair in a 26 year old Arab horse. In this study the treatment of a mandibular fracture in a 26 year old Arab horse, the history during the subsequent 4 years and the anatomical post-mortem findings are presented and described.
Epizootic of western encephalomyelitis virus infection in equines in Alberta in 1965. The epizootic of equine encephalomyelitis in 1965 in Alberta was proved to be due to Western Encephalomyelitis virus infection by serological findings and virus isolations.Sixty-three horses of 88 tested, showed a diagnostic rise of CF antibodies to Western Encephalomyelitis virus. Western Encephalomyelitis virus was isolated from 5 brains of horses. Homologous antibodies were shown in 3 of these animals, the only ones from which blood specimens were received. For the first time virological evidence is given that Western Encephalomyelitis virus infection in horses is found in more areas of Alb...
