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.
Some observations on the isomerization of horse and human serum albumins. Electrophoretic studies were made of normal horse and human serum albumins over the pH range 3.6–6.8 and at 25 °. The ionic strength of acetate or phosphate buffer used was 0.1, and the concentration of protein was 0.5% (g./100 ml.). Patterns were usually enantiographic and there were two (N and F1) or three (N, F1, and F2) boundaries in the pH range 3.6–5.2. The areas of the N and F1 boundaries changed continuously with pH, and the area of F2 was almost constant. The results were interpreted, in the same way as was previously done in the case of bovine serum albumin, by the isomerization...
