Assessing the agreement of Western blot test results for paired serum and cerebrospinal fluid samples from horses tested for antibodies to Sarcocystis neuronaf

Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) is a neurological disease of equids that is caused by infection of the central nervous system with Sarcocystis neurona. Veterinarians diagnose EPM by performing a neurological examination and by ordering Western blot tests for antibodies to S. neurona in the blood and/or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The negative predictive value of the Western blot test is generally accepted to be high for both serum and CSF. If the agreement between serum and CSF test results is strong, serum tests could be used to substitute for CSF tests in some cases. The purpose of this study was to assess the agreement of the results of 181 paired serum and CSF Western blot antibody tests on equine samples submitted to the Michigan State University Animal Health Diagnostic Laboratory. The agreement of the paired serum and CSF results was assessed for three possible test outcomes--negative, positive or suspect. An additional analysis was performed in which samples reported as suspect were reclassified as negative. The kappa statistic for negative, positive and suspect samples was 0.469. The kappa statistic for the analysis in which the suspect results were reclassified as negative was 0.474. In addition, 29% (33/112) CSF samples from seropositive horses were negative. Our results demonstrate that the level of agreement is only moderate in diagnostic samples. This supports the practice of testing CSF of seropositive horses suspected of having EPM.  相似文献   

Effect of oral administration of electrolyte pastes on rehydration of horses     

Schott HC  Axiak SM  Woody KA  Eberhart SW 《American journal of veterinary research》2002,63(1):19-27

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the composition of electrolyte pastes formulated for oral administration influences voluntary water intake (WI) by horses recovering from furosemide-induced dehydration. ANIMALS: 6 horses. PROCEDURES: Voluntary WI, body weight, and blood and urine constituents were measured before and after induction of dehydration by furosemide administration and overnight withholding of water; these same variables also were measured during a 36-hour rehydration period. Each horse was evaluated 4 times with random application of 4 treatments (electrolyte pastes) that provided 0.5 g of KCl/kg of body weight, 0.5 g of NaCl/kg, 0.25 g of NaCl and 0.25 g of KCl/kg, or no electrolytes (control treatment). Electrolyte pastes were administered 3 times (4, 8, and 12 hours after start of the rehydration period). RESULTS: Administration of all electrolyte pastes resulted in significantly greater voluntarily WI, compared with the control treatment, and was accompanied by significantly greater recovery of body weight when NaCl was a component of the paste. Administration of NaCl and NaCl-KCl pastes tended to produce a state of transient hyperhydration; however, electrolyte administration also resulted in significantly greater urine production and electrolyte excretion during the final 24 hours of the rehydration period. Adverse effects of oral administration of hypertonic electrolyte pastes were not observed. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Oral administration of electrolyte pastes to dehydrated horses increases voluntary WI and improves rehydration during the rehydration period. Rehydration is more rapid and complete when NaCl is a component of the electrolyte paste.  相似文献   

Frequency of isolation and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of Staphylococcus intermedius and Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from canine skin and ear samples over a 6-year period (1992-1997)     

Petersen AD  Walker RD  Bowman MM  Schott HC  Rosser EJ 《Journal of the American Animal Hospital Association》2002,38(5):407-413

Staphylococcus intermedius (S. intermedius) was isolated from 88.6% and 49.4% of skin and ear samples, respectively, during the years 1992 through 1997, and frequency of isolation remained unchanged. More than 95% of all S. intermedius isolates were susceptible to cephalothin and oxacillin, providing support for empirical treatment of canine skin and ear infections with cephalexin. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) was isolated from 7.5% and 27.8% of skin and ear samples, respectively. The frequency of isolation from skin samples increased over the study period. Because of multidrug-resistant profiles for P. aeruginosa isolates, especially for ear isolates, empirical treatment of P. aeruginosa infections is not advisable.  相似文献   

Effects of exercise intensity and duration on plasma beta-endorphin concentrations in horses     

Mehl ML  Schott HC  Sarkar DK  Bayly WM 《American journal of veterinary research》2000,61(8):969-973

OBJECTIVE: To determine the relationship between plasma beta-endorphin (EN) concentrations and exercise intensity and duration in horses. ANIMALS: 8 mares with a mean age of 6 years (range, 3 to 13 years) and mean body weight of 450 kg. PROCEDURE: Horses were exercised for 20 minutes at 60% of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) and to fatigue at 95% V02max. Plasma EN concentrations were determined before exercise, after a 10-minute warmup period, after 5, 10, 15, and 20 minutes at 60% VO2max or at the point of fatigue (95% VO2max), and at regular intervals after exercise. Glucose concentrations were determined at the same times EN concentrations were measured. Plasma lactate concentration was measured 5 minutes after exercise. RESULTS: Maximum EN values were recorded 0 to 45 minutes after horses completed each test. Significant time and intensity effects on EN concentrations were detected. Concentrations were significantly higher following exercise at 95% VO2max, compared with those after 20 minutes of exercise at 60% VO2max (605.2 +/- 140.6 vs 312.3 +/- 53.1 pg/ml). Plasma EN concentration was not related to lactate concentration and was significantly but weakly correlated with glucose concentration for exercise at both intensities (r = 0.21 and 0.30 for 60 and 95% VO2max, respectively). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: A critical exercise threshold exists for EN concentration in horses, which is 60% VO2max or less and is related to exercise intensity and duration. Even under conditions of controlled exercise there may be considerable differences in EN concentrations between horses. This makes the value of comparing horses on the basis of their EN concentration questionable.  相似文献
