Effects of sedation with acepromazine on echocardiographic measurements in eight healthy thoroughbred horses
Journal Article
Menzies-Gow, N. J. Effects of sedation with acepromazine on echocardiographic measurements in eight healthy thoroughbred horses. Veterinary Record, 163(1), 21-25

Eight normal thoroughbred horses were examined by echocardiography before and 10 minutes after they had been sedated by the intravenous administration of 0.03 mg/kg acepromazine. There were significant (P < 0.025) increases in the diameters of the pu...

Evaluation of the induction of vasoactive mediators from equine digital vein endothelial cells by endotoxin
Journal Article
Menzies-Gow, N. J., Bailey, S. R., Berhane, Y., Brooks, A. C., & Elliott, J. Evaluation of the induction of vasoactive mediators from equine digital vein endothelial cells by endotoxin. American Journal of Veterinary Research, 69(3), 349-355

Objective - To determine the effect of endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide [LPS]) on vasoactive mediator production by cultured equine digital vein endothelial cells (EDVECs). Sample Population - EDVECs obtained from forelimb digital veins of 7 healthy adu...

Roles of thromboxane A2 and 5-hydroxytryptamine in endotoxin-induced digital vasoconstriction in horses
Journal Article
Menzies-Gow, N. J., Sepulveda, M. F., Bailey, S. R., Cunningham, F. M., & Elliott, J. Roles of thromboxane A2 and 5-hydroxytryptamine in endotoxin-induced digital vasoconstriction in horses. American Journal of Veterinary Research, 69(2), 199-207. https://doi.org/10.2460/ajvr.69.2.199

Objective-To evaluate the roles of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), thromboxane A(2) (TxA(2) and platelet-activating factor (PAF) in endotoxin-induced digital hypoperfusion in horses. Animals-6 healthy adult Thoroughbreds. Procedures-Horses were treated w... Read More about Roles of thromboxane A2 and 5-hydroxytryptamine in endotoxin-induced digital vasoconstriction in horses.

The influence of exercise during growth on ultrasonographic parameters of the superficial digital flexor tendon of young Thoroughbred horses
Journal Article
Moffat, P. A., Firth, E. C., Rogers, C. W., Smith, R. K. W., Barneveld, A., Goodship, A. E., Kawcak, C. E., Mcilwraith, C. W., & Van Weeren, P. R. The influence of exercise during growth on ultrasonographic parameters of the superficial digital flexor tendon of young Thoroughbred horses. Equine Veterinary Journal, 40(2), 136-140. https://doi.org/10.2746/042516408x253109

Reasons for performing study: Conditioning by early training may influence the composition of certain musculoskeletal tissues, but very few data exist on its effect during growth on tendon structure and function.

Objective-To describe associations between computed tomography (CT) and arthroscopy in dogs with elbow dysplasia lesions. Study Design-Retrospective clinical study. Sample Population-Canine elbows (n = 101) investigated by CT and arthroscopy. Methods... Read More about Computed tomography versus arthroscopy for detection of canine elbow dysplasia lesions.
