Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome: An Update on Current Knowledge.

Abstract: Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS) is a term that has been used since 1999, initially being used to describe all gastric mucosal disease in horses. Since this time, the identification of two distinct main disease entities of the equine gastric mucosa have been described under the umbrella of EGUS; these are Equine Squamous Gastric Disease (ESGD) and Equine Glandular Gastric Disease (EGGD). In 2015 the European College of Equine Internal Medicine (ECEIM) released a consensus statement defining these disease entities. This document highlighted the lack of evidence surrounding EGGD compared to ESGD, and identified knowledge gaps for further research to be directed. Subsequently, many studies on EGGD have been published, especially on pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment. This article updates current knowledge on both ESGD and EGGD as understanding has evolved since the last large-scale review.

The research article talks about the current understanding of Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS), a common disease affecting horses, with specifics on its two main categories – Equine Squamous Gastric Disease (ESGD) and Equine Glandular Gastric Disease (EGGD).

Introduction to Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS)

  • The term EGUS was first introduced in 1999 to describe all gastric mucosal diseases in horses.
  • It includes two main diseases which affect the gastric mucosa of horses: ESGD and EGGD.

Division of EGUS into ESGD and EGGD

  • In 2015, the European College of Equine Internal Medicine (ECEIM) made it official by releasing a consensus statement which distinguished the two disease forms under EGUS, clearly defining them.
  • However, the statement also highlighted the fact that EGGD was not as well studied as ESGD thereby pointing out a gap in the research and understanding of this distinct disease.

Recent Studies on EGGD

  • Following the consensus statement in 2015, there has been an influx of research on the less understood EGGD, focusing on its pathophysiology (how the disease processes function), diagnosis, and treatment.

An Update on Current EGUS Knowledge

  • The research article provides an update on the comprehensive understanding of both diseases — ESGD and EGGD — as there have been many learnings since the last significant review.
  • It is important to keep updating knowledge on these gastronomical diseases as it can help in better diagnosing and treating horses suffering from them.
