The response of equine bone to training has not been quantified in racetrack trained horses, only in treadmill exercised horses. Seven two-year-old thoroughbred fillies were trained on sand and grass at a racetrack, in a typical New Zealand flatrace training regime. The horses were exercised 6 days per week for up to 13 weeks. During the day the horses were confined in 4 x 4m sand yards, and we...

In view of these contradictory findings the records of children admitted to the Royal Hospital for Sick Children during the last ten years suffering from these diseases were examined. In each case the diagnosis was established clinically and by skiagrams. The case reports and x-ray plates of 211 cases of active rickets under five years of age, fourteen cases of congenital syphilis and twenty of...

In this study; it is aimed to present the operative treatment and results, which are indicated for continue of their racing life in splint bone fractures frequently occurred race horses. The 2nd 4th metacarpal (Mc-II Mc-IV) metatarsal bones (Mt-II Mt-IV) horse accessory structures that support carpus tarsus. Fractures these horses called “splint fractures”. Splint relatively common usually seen...

Perilunate injuries are severe disruptions of the carpus, which present a formidable challenge to the treating physician. Accurate recognition of the pattern of injury is not always straightforward. The injury can propagate through ligaments and/or bone, creating multiple variations of a basic injury pattern. Posteroanterior and lateral radiographs will depict a perilunate injury, but additiona...

The wrist is a region that is very vulnerable to injuries of the extremities. Among these injuries, fractures of the pyramidal bone (or triquetrum) in association with dislocation of the hamate and carpal instability are uncommon. They are generally correlated with high-energy trauma and may be associated with neurovascular deficits, muscle-tendon disorders, skin lesions or injuries to other ca...

Four species of the genus Peramphithoe have been recorded in Korean waters. Herein we add two peramphithoid species, Peramphithoe chujaensis sp. nov. and P. eoa (Brüggen). The new species is easily distinguished from congeners by: (1) male antenna 2 with plumose setae ventrally, (2) male gnathopod 2, propodus 0.7 x as wide as long and palm excavated, (3) male pereopods 5–7, meri and carpi expan...

This study is based on the material collected from REVIZEE Program and under the Petrobrás oil-exploration programs. These collections revealed a number of representatives from the family Leptocheliidae in its broadest sense, with descriptions of one new genus, Makraleptochelia n. gen., and two new species, M. potiguara n. sp. and Intermedichelia jesseri n. sp. The new genus appears to be close...
