Based on Baunaz (2011), we distinguish among French wh-words and claim that they are three-way ambiguous: they can involve partitivity, specificity (both are presuppositional) and non-presupposition (where nonpresuppositional means not-specific/not-partitive). In addition to semantic differences, specificity and partitivity are argued to involve different prosody with wh-phrases in-situ. Buildi...

ageing is defined as the ‘‘accumulation of changes in an organism or object over time’’ (Jarvis, 2009). Horses are living into their 30s, and the changes that occur to their bodies with the ageing process are highly individual. Horses that have been well cared for during their youth and middle age will have a better chance of survival and quality of life as they enter their golden years. previo...

the aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of toxoplasma gondii in mares and stallionsin the province of ankara. sera from 168 clinically healthy horses were tested for the presence oftoxoplasma gondii antibodies using the sabin feldman dye test. toxoplasma gondii infection wasdetermined in 62 (36.9%) of 168 horses with the titers ranging from 1:16 to 1:256.

Fractures of the rostral mandible in horses are the most common type of jaw fractures. The present study was performed for stabilization of rostral mandibular fracture with cerclage wire.

Rostral mandibular...

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) commonly refers to blood products which contain a higher platelet (PLT) concentration as compared to normal plasma. Autologous PRP has been shown to be safe and effective in promoting the natural processes of soft tissue healing or reconstruction in humans and horses. Variability in PLT concentration has been observed in practice between PRP preparations from differen...
