(2018-11-21)Rhodococcus equi is a facultative intracellular pathogen that causes pyogranulomatous pneumonia in foals <6 months of age. Why foals are highly susceptible to R. equi is unknown. R. equi pneumonia is a leading cause of ...
-
(2016-08-02)Observational epidemiologic studies are commonly encountered as a source of clinical evidence in equine veterinary medicine and offer many advantages over experimental studies. First, naturally-occurring cases of disease ...
-
(2020-06-05)Microscopic examination of stallion spermatozoal morphology provides a useful criterion for assessing the quality of semen and reproductive capabilities of a stallion. In previous investigations, personnel in our laboratory ...
-
(2017-07-28)The main goal of regenerative medicine is to enhance the innate healing response to more closely mimic tissue development. This may include cell-based, trophic, or small molecule therapies. In cell-based therapies, the ...
-
(2017-12-14)The objective of this work was to describe bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) proliferation and characterization after expansion with the common intra-articular medications polysulfated glycosaminoglycan, ...
-
(2015-01-26)Harmful materials are released into the environment during emergencies and disasters. These materials pose a risk to animals involved in search and rescue efforts without the benefit of personal protective equipment. Search ...
-
(2010-07-14)Assessment of sperm viability is an important component for evaluating stallion sperm quality. The flow cytometer is considered the standard in the assessment of sperm plasma membrane integrity (viability); however, ...
-
Cushioned centrifugation of stallion semen: factors impacting equine sperm recovery rate and quality (2009-05-15)Centrifugation of stallion semen is an integral part of the cryopreservation procedure, primarily allowing for the concentration of sperm and removal of seminal plasma. In addition, centrifugation is required for maximizing ...
-
(2012-10-19)Ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) has been the primary preventive modality for struvite urolithiasis in goats. This study investigated the effect of continuous and pulse dose NH4Cl therapeutic regimens on urine pH in ten goats. The ...
-
(2013-09-03)This study had four experimental aims. We investigated whether fresh (unfrozen) or snap-frozen homologous seminal plasma yielded similar sperm quality in cool-stored semen. We compared sperm quality following exposure ...
-
(2012-02-14)Rhodococcus equi causes severe pneumonia, resulting in disease and sometimes death of foals. Infection is thought to occur by inhalation of dust contaminated with virulent R equi. A recent study of 3 horse breeding farms ...
-
(2013-04-24)Artificial insemination using cooled, transported semen has become a popular practice in the equine industry. However, equine sperm are assumed to show a decline in their fertilizing ability after 24 to 48 hours of cooled ...
-
(2014-05-03)Rhodococcus equi is a bacterium commonly isolated from soil that primarily causes pneumonia in foals and immunocompromised adult horses. Many vaccines were designed and tested to protect foals from developing pneumonia; ...
-
(2021-07-19)Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been used for decades to treat a variety of conditions in humans and animals, but consistent and reproducible efficacy has yet to be demonstrated. Two possible reasons for inconsistent ...
-
(2015-12-10)Rhodococcus equi causes pneumonia and extrapulmonary disorders in foals and other immunocompromised animals including people. Although exposure to virulent R. equi is widespread in the environment of foals, only a small ...
-
(2016-11-21)Although non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are among the most frequently used classes of medications in the world, they are well-known to induce an enteropathy that is associated with high morbidity and mortality ...
-
(2022-06-10)Rhodococcus equi (R. equi) is a common cause of pneumonia in foals. The only product licensed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for reducing the incidence of R. equi pneumonia in foals is transfusion ...
-
(2013-11-08)Placement of sperm deep in the equine uterine horn allows fewer sperm to be inseminated while maintaining acceptable fertility, and has been promoted for use in circumstances when fertility would be expected to be low if ...
-
(2022-05-26)The current studies determined from a clinical and molecular standpoint some potential causes associated with the occurrence of impaired acrosomal exocytosis (IAE) in stallions that carry the IAE-susceptibility genotype, ...
