Gerber,Caroline Hahn,Pat Harris,John Keen,Nathalie Kirschvink,Laurence Lefère,Bruce McGorum,J. M. V. Muller,Marie-Thérèse Picavet,Richard J. Piercy,Katja Roscher,Didier Serteyn,Lucia Unger,J. H. van der Kolk,G. van Loon,Denis Verwilghen,C.M. Westermann,D. Votion +24 more
TL;DR: This study refines the list of risk factors for AM, and clinical signs valuable for diagnosis and prognosis have been identified, enabling clinicians to improve management of AM cases.

Retrospective evaluation of 155 adult equids and 21 foals with tetanus in Western, Northern, and Central Europe (2000-2014). Part 1: Description of history and clinical evolution.

Malalana,Jessika Muller Cavalleri,Tresemiek Picavet,Katja Roscher,Denis Verwilghen,Meret Wehrli Eser,C.M. Westermann,Tim Mair +20 more
TL;DR: This is the first study that rigorously describes a large population of equids affected by tetanus and the information provided is potentially useful to clinicians for early recognition and case management of tetanus in adult horses and foals.
Traditional and quantitative assessment of acid-base and shock variables in horses with atypical myopathy.
G. van Galen,Simona Cerri,Sarah Rebecca Porter,Claude Saegerman,Laurence Lefère,Katja Roscher,Celia M. Marr,Hélène Amory,Dominique Votion +8 more
TL;DR: The strong ion model provided a more accurate assessment than the traditional approach and identified mixed derangements in horses with atypical myopathy.

Effects of a blend of green tea and curcuma extract supplementation on lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation in horses and ponies
Janine Starzonek,Katja Roscher,Matthias Blüher,Dominique Blaue,Carola Schedlbauer,Manuela Hirz,Jens Raila,Ingrid Vervuert +7 more
TL;DR: LPS was able to induce inflammation but seemed less suitable to induce ER stress in the horses and ponies and the polyphenol-rich supplement showed some potential to reduce inflammatory responses, but did not exert an overall anti-inflammatory effect.

Inhibition of platelet function with clopidogrel, as measured with a novel whole blood impedance aggregometer in horses.
TL;DR: The loading dose of clopidogrel induced rapid inhibition of platelet function within hours, and the low dose was suitable for maintaining the inhibition over the 4 days of therapy, indicating differences in the activation of platelets between horses and humans that were previously unknown.
