Congenital bilateral laryngeal paralysis in a neonatal foal—Expanding our understanding of neonatal airway dysfunction Open
Summary The case report by De Maré et al. 2025 describes a rare but instructive case of bilateral laryngeal paralysis in a newborn Warmblood foal with suspected neonatal encephalopathy (NE). The foal presented with inspiratory stridor from…

Utility of cell-free DNA concentrations and illness severity scores to predict survival in critically ill neonatal foals Open
Plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) levels have been associated with disease and survival status in septic humans and dogs. To date, studies investigating cfDNA levels in association with critical illness in foals are lacking. We hypothesized tha…
