Assessing Competence in Veterinary Medical Education: Where's the Evidence?
Journal Article
Rhind, S. M., Baillie, S., Brown, F., Hammick, M., & Dozier, M. Assessing Competence in Veterinary Medical Education: Where's the Evidence?. Journal of Veterinary Medical Education, 35(3), 407-411

A systematic review of the literature was carried out to determine the evidence for the reliability and validity of the assessment methods used in veterinary medical education. The review followed the approach used by the Best Evidence Medical Educat... Read More about Assessing Competence in Veterinary Medical Education: Where's the Evidence?.

Regionalisation of the muscle fascicle architecture in the equine longissimus dorsi muscle
Journal Article
Ritruechai, P., Weller, R., & Wakeling, J. M. Regionalisation of the muscle fascicle architecture in the equine longissimus dorsi muscle. Equine Veterinary Journal, 40(3), 246-251. https://doi.org/10.2746/042516408x273675

Reasons for performing study: The longissimus dorsi is the largest muscle in the equine back and plays an important role in locomotor ability and performance in the horse. In vivo studies suggest that the mechanical function varies between different... Read More about Regionalisation of the muscle fascicle architecture in the equine longissimus dorsi muscle.

Evaluation of a new strategy to modulate skeletal development in Thoroughbred performance horses by imposing track-based exercise during growth
Journal Article
Rogers, C. W., Firth, E. C., McIlwraitht, C. W., Barneveld, A., Goodship, A. E., Kawcak, C. E., Smith, R. K. W., & Van Weeren, P. R. Evaluation of a new strategy to modulate skeletal development in Thoroughbred performance horses by imposing track-based exercise during growth. Equine Veterinary Journal, 40(2), 111-118. https://doi.org/10.2746/042516408x268923

Reasons for performing study: No data exist on the intensity of exercise required or on possible harmful effects of increasing exercise in foals over the natural level when free at pasture.

Evaluation of a new strategy to modulate skeletal development in racehorses by imposing track-based exercise during growth: The effects on 2-and 3-year-old racing careers
Journal Article
Rogers, C. W., Firth, E. C., Mcilwraith, C. W., Barneveld, A., Goodship, A. E., Kawcak, C. E., Smith, R. K. W., & Van Weeren, P. R. Evaluation of a new strategy to modulate skeletal development in racehorses by imposing track-based exercise during growth: The effects on 2-and 3-year-old racing careers. Equine Veterinary Journal, 40(2), 119-127. https://doi.org/10.2746/042516408x266088

Reasons for performing study: No data exist on the effects of conditioning exercise at foal age on workload and subsequent clinical injury rate during their 2- and 3-year-old racing careers.

Clinical signs, histology, and CD3-positive cells before and after treatment of dogs with chronic enteropathies
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Schreiner, N. M. S., Gaschen, F., Grone, A., Sauter, S. N., & Allenspach, K. Clinical signs, histology, and CD3-positive cells before and after treatment of dogs with chronic enteropathies

Background: Histopathology is widely used for the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease in dogs. Variations in lesions and unavailability of uniform grading systems limit the usefulness of histologic examination.

A retrospective study comparing conservative and surgical treatments of open comminuted fractures of the fourth metatarsal bone in horses
Journal Article
Sherlock, C. E., & Archer, R. M. A retrospective study comparing conservative and surgical treatments of open comminuted fractures of the fourth metatarsal bone in horses. Equine Veterinary Education, 20(7), 373-379. https://doi.org/10.2746/095777308x329163

The proximal third of metatarsal IV is predisposed to open comminuted fractures due to its superficial and prominent position and controversy exists regarding the most appropriate management for this type of fracture. Fifty-three horses treated for o... Read More about A retrospective study comparing conservative and surgical treatments of open comminuted fractures of the fourth metatarsal bone in horses.

Diagnostic ultrasound of the limb joints, muscle and bone in horses
Journal Article
Smith, M., & Smith, R. K. W. Diagnostic ultrasound of the limb joints, muscle and bone in horses. In Practice, 30(3), 152-159

DIAGNOSTIC ultrasonography for the musculoskeletal system in the horse was first used in the early 1980s. Initial applications were directed towards the diagnosis of flexor tendon and ligament injuries in the distal limb, but this modality is now com...
