The efficacy and costs of plasma transfusion in naturally diseased horses

Creator:

Busby, Madeleine F.

Abstract:

Hypoproteinemia secondary to gastrointestinal disease in horses has traditionally been treated with the administration of colloids such as equine plasma or hetastarch. While plasma transfusion is common, evidence-based guidelines for its use in hypoproteinemic horses are lacking. This study involved prospective and retrospective components that aimed to weigh the efficacy...

In Vitro Evaluation of Therapeutic Laser Treatment on Equine Tendon Fibroblasts

Creator:

Husby, Kirsty A.

Abstract:

Previous investigations have failed to show benefits of low level laser therapy (LLLT) for tendon healing in horses, contrary to reports in other species. We hypothesized that delivery of LLLT at manufacturer-recommended energy fluence through equine cadaver skin to equine tendon-derived fibroblasts in vitro would increase cell proliferation, metabolic activity...

Chiropractic treatment is used to reduce stiffness and pain. While more thoroughly studied in humans, it has been shown to be effective in horses, but relatively little evidence exists to quantify the benefits. To address this shortcoming, four methods were used to assess the effects of chiropractic treatment in horses...
