Association between hyponatremia and neurological dysfunction in hospitalized foals (2019)
Journal Article
Dunkel, B., Dodson, F., Chang, Y. M., & Slovis, N. M. (2019). Association between hyponatremia and neurological dysfunction in hospitalized foals. Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care, 30(1), 66-73. https://doi.org/10.1111/vec.12906

Hyponatremia and rapid correction of hyponatremia can lead to neurological abnormalities. The objective of the study was to determine whether plasma sodium concentrations (Na+) and speed of correction of hyponatremia are significantly associated with...

Retrospective evaluation of the association between admission blood glucose and l-lactate concentrations in ponies and horses with gastrointestinal disease (2008-2016): 545 cases (2019)
Journal Article
Dunkel, B., Mason, C. J., & Chang, Y. M. (2019). Retrospective evaluation of the association between admission blood glucose and l-lactate concentrations in ponies and horses with gastrointestinal disease (2008-2016): 545 cases. Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care, https://doi.org/10.1111/vec.12851

A recent study described increased l‐lactate concentrations in ponies with gastrointestinal disease compared to horses, but blood glucose (BG) concentrations were not considered. The study tested the hypothesis that BG and l‐lactate concentrations ar...

Equine recurrent airway obstruction and insect bite hypersensitivity: Understanding the diseases and uncovering possible new therapeutic approaches
Journal Article
Cunningham, F. M., & Dunkel, B. Equine recurrent airway obstruction and insect bite hypersensitivity: Understanding the diseases and uncovering possible new therapeutic approaches. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2007.10.005

Recurrent airway obstruction (RAO) and insect bite hypersensitivity (IBH) are allergic conditions that are commonly encountered in the horse. Whilst complete allergen avoidance is an effective management strategy for both diseases, this may not be ac...

Equine platelets inhibit E. coli growth and can be activated by bacterial lipopolysaccharide and lipoteichoic acid although superoxide anion production does not occur and platelet activation is not associated with enhanced production by neutrophils
