Genetic Research
https://vimeo.com/1034673422/1807bd06c7 Dr. Carrie Finno provides a comprehensive overview of genetic research in horses, focusing on malformations and diseases linked to specific genetic mutations. She covers various aspects such as the genetic basis of C6 and C7 malformations, genotype versus phenotype, inheritance patterns, and penetrance. The use of microsatellites, SNPs, GWAS, and whole genome sequencing is […]
2024 Annual Meeting Presentation
https://vimeo.com/1036843879/2f1dcc8312 Dr. Melissa King presents a comprehensive discussion on approaches to cervical dysfunction and rehabilitation, focusing on both equine and human applications. She highlights the integration of evidence-based techniques for addressing axial skeletal pain and dysfunction, emphasizing parallels between equine and human therapy. The session explores diagnostic challenges, therapeutic modalities, and rehabilitation protocols aimed at […]
Biologics
https://vimeo.com/1034594591/e5a6955fc1 Dr. Lauren Schnabel explores the role of orthobiologics in managing cervical pain, particularly in horses, and compares them to traditional treatments like corticosteroids, which have notable side effects such as neurotoxicity and insulin dysregulation. She covers a range of therapies, including musculoskeletal treatments, polyacrylamides for visco supplementation, and combination therapy for equine meniscal tears. […]
Surgery
https://vimeo.com/1034593774/1e01a97dde Dr. John Janicek provides an in-depth exploration of surgical procedures and rehabilitation techniques for addressing equine spinal issues, specifically focusing on neck pathologies such as cervical vertebral stenotic myelopathy and foraminal stenosis. It emphasizes the critical role of advanced imaging techniques, including radiographs and CT scans, to accurately diagnose spinal cord compression and other […]
Neck Inject
https://vimeo.com/1034593268/a9a2a3bde6?ts=0&share=copy The research by Kara Brown at the University of Pennsylvania investigates perineural injections for cervical radiculopathy, focusing on the dorsal ultrasound-guided approach for injecting caudal cervical spinal nerves in horses. The study evaluates this technique’s accuracy using methylene blue and iohexol injections in both live and euthanized horses to avoid epidural distribution. Successful visualization […]
Cervical Fusion: Stem Cells
https://vimeo.com/1034592803/67eb174351 Watch Dr. Barrie Grant present content on stem cell applications for spinal cord repair in horses. He discusses the use of stem cells from bone marrow and umbilical cords to treat spinal cord compression and other conditions such as wobblers and kyphosis in horses. He covers various veterinary cases, including gliosis, meningiomas, and chronic […]
C6 Anomaly
https://vimeo.com/1029501457/1a38aa97e9 In this video, Dr. Kevin Haussler dives into the complexities of the C6 anomaly in horses, examining the anatomy, clinical implications, and ongoing debate within the veterinary community. The C6 anomaly, a structural variation in the cervical vertebra, has been linked by some to behavioral issues, instability, and various health challenges, while others see […]
