    Notes: Abstract The cardiorespiratory and metabolic responses to various levels of tethered-swimming were evaluated in 5 sedentary horses. Cardiac output (QQ}) and heart rate (HR) correlated highly (r=0.89 and 0.94 respectively) with work effort (WE) expressed as kg pulled·kg body wt−1·10−2. While swimming, stroke volume (SV) was reduced at the lowest workloads, but increased with increasing WE so that at the highest workloads it had returned to the on-land standing SV. Pressures in the pulmonic as well as on both sides of the systemic circulation were considerably elevated by this form of exercise, although only mean carotid artery pressure (CAP) correlated highly (r=0.83) with WE. During tethered-swimming plasma lactic acid (LA) rose exponentially from 1 to 10 mmol·1−1 with increasing HR over the range 150–200 beats·min−1. Oxygen uptake ( $$\dot VO_2 $$ ) increased linearly (r=0.95) from 25–112 ml·kg−1·min−1. over the WE range of 3.0–7.8 kg pulled·kg body wt−1·10−2. The aerobic capacity of the equine species would appear to be twice that of man. The greater increase in $$\dot VO_2 $$ in the exercising horse cannot be explained solely on the basis of increases inQQ}. Therefore alterations in hematocrit, hemoglobin and oxygen extraction appear to play a more important role in the horse during exercise than they do in man.

    Notes: Summary This is a cross-sectional, case-controlled study on the clinical relevance of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) in relation to the pelvic girdle. Thirty-two rheumatology patients with DISH were compared with 35 dermatology control subjects in respect to the clinical parameters pain and passive hip joint motion in a standardized manner. There were no significant differences between the two groups, indicating no major clinical relevance of DISH in the pelvic region. In a second study, the radiographs of 23 DISH probands were compared blindly with 23 matched controls. The only significant difference was a much higher degree of severe juxtaarticular bone formation in DISH probands. The majority of these spurs proved to be asymptomatic and did not affect the range of passive hip joint mobility. DISH is a frequently seen, often radiologically very impressive phenomenon of little clinical relevance, at least in the pelvic area.

    Bacterial arthritis: Are fever, rigors, leucocytosis and blood cultures of diagnostic value? (1990)
    Springer

    Notes: Summary Clinical suspicion, positive gram stains and cultures of the synovial fluid are the fundamental criteria for the diagnosis of bacterial arthritis. Bacterial arthritis may, however, show an oligosymptomatic clinical course and thus lead to a delay in diagnosis. The case records of 43 patients with bacterial arthritis were reviewed retrospectively. Rigors (20.9%), fever (40.5%), blood leucocytosis (41.8%) and a shift to the left of blood leucocytes (35%) were found in less than half of all examined patients. Positive cultures of the synovial fluid (71.4%) were far more frequent than positive blood cultures (23.5%). We conclude, that the absence of fever, rigors, blood leucocytosis and positive blood cultures does not rule out the possibility of bacterial arthritis.
