Respiratory system projects

  • The cytokine expression of COPD lung tissue determined by PCR and in vitro hybridization
  • Temporal variation in respiratory mechanics and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cell cytology in horses with COPD and in horses free of respiratory disease
  • Effects of temperature and syringes on the temporal variation in gas tension in arterial blood
  • Evaluation of hypertonic saline in the treatment of COPD by measuring respiratory mechanics
  • Evaluation of repeated pentoxifylline administration in the treatment of COPD by measuring respiratory mechanics.
  • Evaluation of buprenorphine effects on the pulmonary function of horses with COPD and in horses without respiratory disease.

 

Musculoskeletal system projects

  • The effects of repeated intra-articular corticosteroid injections on cartilage metabolism in horses
  • Markers of cartilage metabolism in synovial fluids of horses with osteochondrosis (OCD) of the hock joint
  • Markers of cartilage metabolism and bone metabolism in the serum of normal foals and foals with osteochondrosis (OCD)
  • Characterization of OCD lesions of the stifle in young horses
  • Thermographic evaluation of the distal limb of young standardbreds in training
  • Treatment of musculoskeletal infections with antibiotic implants and regional perfusion techniques

Other projects 

  • Evaluation of a treadmill exercise test to predict performance
  • Laparoscopic repair of ruptured bladders in foals
  • Study of clinical signs, diagnosis and treatment of equine proliferative enteropathy.
