Increased plasma nucleosomes are associated with severe sepsis in foals Open
Sepsis is a main cause of death in neonatal foals. While the syndrome is not completely understood, sepsis is a dysregulated inflammatory response of the host to infection. It can be difficult to diagnose because of varying and non-specifi…

Use of prototype bi‐nasal prongs for noninvasive ventilation in foals Open
Background Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) provides effective respiratory support in foals, but face masks are poorly tolerated and associated with hypercapnia. Bi‐nasal prongs might be a more effective device interface in foals. Objectives …

Storage of equine faecal microbiota transplantation solution has minimal impact on major bacterial communities and structure Open
Management of diarrhoea in horses is usually non-specific and supportive. Faecal microbiota transplantations (FMT) are used to manage dysbiosis in horses with diarrhoea. There are few studies investigating the effects of storage on prepare…

The Use of Bi-Nasal Prongs for Delivery of Non-Invasive Ventilation to Foals Open
Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is a method of providing respiratory support without the need for airway intubation. The current study was undertaken to assess tolerance to bi-nasal prongs and NIV in healthy, standing, lightly sedated foals…

Wound healing of experimental equine skin wounds and concurrent microbiota in wound dressings following topical propylene glycol gel treatment Open
Introduction Topical wound treatments rely on carrier formulations with little to no biological impact. The potential for a common vehicle, a propylene glycol (PG) gel, to affect wound healing measures including microbiota is not known. Mi…

Visualizing neutrophil extracellular traps in septic equine synovial and peritoneal fluid samples using immunofluorescence microscopy Open
Septic synovitis and peritonitis are routinely diagnosed in horses based on clinical examination findings and laboratory assessment of synoviocentesis and abdominocentesis samples, respectively. Diagnosis is difficult in some cases because…
View article: Effects of 2 modes of positive pressure ventilation on respiratory mechanics and gas exchange in foals
Effects of 2 modes of positive pressure ventilation on respiratory mechanics and gas exchange in foals Open
Background Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and pressure support ventilation (PSV) can improve respiratory mechanics and gas exchange, but different airway pressures have not been compared in foals. Hypothesis/Objectives Assess t…
View article: Effects of Transport and Feeding Strategies Before Transportation on Redox Homeostasis and Gastric Ulceration in Horses
Effects of Transport and Feeding Strategies Before Transportation on Redox Homeostasis and Gastric Ulceration in Horses Open
Transportation may lead to oxidative stress (OS) and gastric ulceration in horses, and optimal feed management before, or during, transportation is unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of transportation after three different f…
View article: Impact of sedation, body position change and continuous positive airway pressure on distribution of ventilation in healthy foals
Impact of sedation, body position change and continuous positive airway pressure on distribution of ventilation in healthy foals Open
Background This study aimed to compare the distribution of ventilation measured by electrical impedance tomography (EIT), in foals under varying clinical conditions of sedation, postural changes, and continuous positive airway pressure (CP…
