Radiographic, ultrasonographic and arthroscopic evaluation of the left carpus was consistent with synovial osteochondromatosis. This presumptive clinical diagnosis was confirmed histopathologically. Arthroscopic removal of the osteochondral bodies resulted in resolution of the carpal effusion and return to previous athletic activity by 4.5 months post operatively. Arthroscopic removal of osteochondral bodies is the treatment of choice in cases of suspected synovial osteochondromatosis.}, number={8}, journal={EQUINE VETERINARY EDUCATION}, author={Newman, J.

The secretion of prolactin in horses is affected by season, thyrotropin-releasing hormone, dopaminergic and antidopaminergic agents, exercise and stressful stimuli, meal feeding, estrogen treatment, and antiopioidergic agents. The need of prolactin for mammary growth and lactation in mares has been elucidated from research on endophyte-infected fescue grazing and its associated problems in late gestation. This has led to the development of treatments for fescue toxicity and protocols for inducing lactation in nonpregnant mares. Treatment with prolactin has demonstrated that it is involved with the shedding of the winter coat in spring (increasing concentrations) and likely with the growth of the winter coat in the fall (decreasing concentrations). Prolactin secretion is highly correlated with the photoperiod and is low in winter and high in summer. The coincidence of rising prolactin concentrations in blood with the onset of ovarian activity during the spring transition period in mares led to research showing that prolactin treatment, or inducement of high prolactin secretion by means of antidopaminergic agents, in winter can induce ovarian activity and ovulation in seasonally anovulatory mares. The combination of a small amount of estrogen in addition to an antidopaminergic agent has been shown to produce a synergy resulting in very high prolactin concentrations in blood. The results of 39 years of research on equine prolactin illustrate nicely how the gradual accumulation of knowledge derived from basic research questions can generate applied solutions to real-world problems.}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF EQUINE VETERINARY SCIENCE}, author={Vivrette, S and Stebbins, ME and Martin, O and Dooley, K and Cross, D}, year={2001}, month={Feb}, pages={65–67} } @article{vivrette_2001, title={Colostrum and oral immunoglobulin therapy in newborn foals}, volume={23}, number={3}, journal={Compendium on Continuing Education for the Practicing Veterinarian}, author={Vivrette, S.}, year={2001}, pages={286–291} } @article{sellon_besser_vivrette_mcconnico_2001, title={Comparison of nucleic acid amplification, serology, and microbiologic culture for diagnosis of Rhodococcus equi pneumonia in foals}, volume={39}, ISSN={["0095-1137"]}, DOI={10.1128/JCM.39.4.1289-1293.2001}, abstractNote={Recently, a technique was described for amplification of Rhodococcus equi-specific chromosomal and vapA DNA from blood and tracheal wash fluids. It was hypothesized that this technique would be more sensitive than standard culture techniques or serology for diagnosis of R. equi pneumonia in foals. Tracheal wash fluid, nasal swabs, whole blood samples, and serum samples from 56 foals with pneumonia were analyzed. Final clinical diagnosis was determined by the attending clinician on the basis of final interpretation of all available information about each foal, including clinical presentation, diagnostic test results, response to therapy, and outcome. Clinical diagnosis was used as a final reference standard for calculation of sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values for PCR, serology using an agar gel immunodiffusion test, and tracheal wash fluid culture. PCR of tracheal wash fluid using primers that recognized the vapA virulence plasmid of R. equi had a diagnostic sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 90.6%. Sensitivity and specificity were 57.1 and 93.8%, respectively, for standard microbiologic culture of tracheal wash fluid and 62.5 and 75.9%, respectively, for serology. PCR of tracheal wash fluid is more sensitive and specific for diagnosis of R. equi pneumonia than are other available diagnostic tests.}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF CLINICAL MICROBIOLOGY}, author={Sellon, DC and Besser, TE and Vivrette, SL and McConnico, RS}, year={2001}, month={Apr}, pages={1289–1293} } @article{hudson_berschneider_ferris_vivrette_2001, title={Disaster relief management of companion animals affected by the floods of Hurricane Floyd}, volume={218}, ISSN={["0003-1488"]}, DOI={10.2460/javma.2001.218.354}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION}, author={Hudson, LC and Berschneider, HM and Ferris, KK and Vivrette, SL}, year={2001}, month={Feb}, pages={354–359} } @article{guy_breslin_breuhaus_vivrette_smith_2000, title={Characterization of a coronavirus isolated from a diarrheic foal}, volume={38}, number={12}, journal={Journal of Clinical Microbiology}, author={Guy, J.

Enrofloxacin was administered once IV (5 mg/kg of body weight) to 1-week-old foals, followed by 1 oral administration (10 mg/kg) after a 7-day washout period. Blood samples were collected for 48 hours after the single dose IV and oral administrations and analyzed for plasma enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin concentrations by use of high-performance liquid chromatography.For IV administration, mean +/- SD total area under the curve (AUC0-infinity) was 48.54 +/- 10.46 microg x h/ml, clearance was 103.72 +/- 0.06 ml/kg/h, half-life (t1/2beta) was 17.10 +/- 0.09 hours, and apparent volume of distribution was 2.49 +/- 0.43 L/kg. For oral administration, AUC0-infinity was 58.47 +/- 16.37 microg x h/ml, t1/2beta was 18.39 +/- 0.06 hours, maximum concentration (Cmax) was 2.12 +/- 00.51 microg/ml, time to Cmax was 2.20 +/- 2.17 hours, mean absorption time was 2.09 +/- 0.51 hours, and bioavailability was 42 +/- 0.42%.Compared with adult horses given 5 mg of enrofloxacin/kg IV, foals have higher AUC0-infinity, longer t1/2beta, and lower clearance. Concentration of ciprofloxacin was negligible. Using a target Cmax to minimum inhibitory concentration ratio of 1:8 to 1:10, computer modeling suggests that 2.5 to 10 mg of enrofloxacin/kg administered every 24 hours would be effective in foals, depending on minimum inhibitory concentration of the pathogen.}, number={6}, journal={AMERICAN JOURNAL OF VETERINARY RESEARCH}, author={Bermingham, EC and Papich, MG and Vivrette, SL}, year={2000}, month={Jun}, pages={706–709} } @article{vivrette_smith_1998, title={Transient hypogammaglobulinemia in a simmental heifer}, volume={12}, ISSN={["0891-6640"]}, DOI={10.1111/j.1939-1676.1998.tb00497.x}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF VETERINARY INTERNAL MEDICINE}, author={Vivrette, SL and Smith, BP}, year={1998}, pages={50–52} }
