Equine guttural pouch tympany (GPT) is a hereditary condition affecting foals in their first months of life. Complex segregation analyses in Arabian and German warmblood horses showed the involvement of a major gene as very likely. Genome-wide linkage and association analyses including a high density marker set of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were performed to map the genomic region h...

In human beings a striking loss of pigment may occur in the skin and hair surrounding normal nevi, the primary sites of melanomas, cutaneous nodules of metastatic melanoma, and over the surface in the form of vitiligo in those with melanomas. It is generally assumed that vitiliginous changes are associated with .he local destruction of normal melanocytes on either an autoimmune or cytotoxic bas...

This paper examines the morphological interaction of possessor agreement and number possessed noun in Turkish Sakha, two distantly related Turkic languages. Of particular focus are third-person posses- sors, where both languages can use regular nominal plural suffix -LAr to index 3PL possessors, (similar many languages) do not allow instances sequence, resulting a three-way ambiguity, e.g. Sakh...

The existence of the Hucul horse on Romanian territory has been documented from the very distant past; today Hucul is a unique breed that is part of the FAO Program for the Preservation of Animal Genetic Resources. We compared Hucul with several primitive European and Asiatic breeds in order to elucidate the origin of these horses. We analyzed a 683-bp mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) D-loop fra...

201 Comparison of ω-3 Fatty Acids by GC-MS in Frequently Consumed Fish and Fish Oil Preparations on the Turkish Market Summary : In this study, two fish species, anchovy (Engraulis encrasicholus) and horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus), and three commercial fish oil products sold on the Turkish market were analyzed and compared by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) according to their...

A 3-year-old Arabian colt was presented for a major gingiva wound at the right rostral part of mandible. After clinical assessments, rostral mandibular fracture was determined. Stabilization of fractured region was achieved via cerclage wire application under general anesthesia. Fixation wires were left in place for 6 weeks. A 3 -month follow up revealed complete fracture healing. The purpose o...

Case Description- An Arabian 10-mounth-old filly with a large mass on the left lateral side of the neck was referred to the Department of Surgery, Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Shahid Bahnoar University of Kerman. Clinical Findings- In clinical examination a large, ulcerated mass (12×10×4cm diameter) was detected on left lateral side of the neck, covered with so...

Despite their ability to interbreed and produce fertile offspring, there is continued disagreement about the genetic relationship of the domestic horse (Equus caballus) to its endangered wild relative, Przewalski's horse (Equus przewalskii). Analyses have differed as to whether or not Przewalski's horse is placed phylogenetically as a separate sister group to domestic horses. Because Przewalski...

Lavender Foal Syndrome (LFS) is a lethal inherited disease of horses with a suspected autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. LFS has been primarily diagnosed in a subgroup of the Arabian breed, the Egyptian Arabian horse. The condition is characterized by multiple neurological abnormalities and a dilute coat color. Candidate genes based on comparative phenotypes in mice and humans include the...
