Abstract Background Diagnosis of gastric ulcers by methods other than gastroscopy in dogs has been problematic for many years and biomarkers such as serum gastrin (SG) concentrations have been introduced as a noninvasive...

ABSTRACT Background Equine gastric ulcer syndrome (EGUS) adversely affects the health, welfare, and performance of sports horses, requiring gastroscopy for definitive diagnosis. Owners frequently consider girth aversion...

ABSTRACT We evaluated 28 horses from a squad applied in public safety in Paraná (Brazil), in order to check the incidence of gastric ulcers and its correlation with mounted policing activity, considering the initial and...

Abstract Background Current methods to measure intragastric pH in horses have limitations. A wireless capsule has been designed for continuous esophageal pH monitoring in humans. Objectives To (1) determine the feasibili...

Abstract Background The relationships among gastric lymphoid follicular hyperplasia (GLFH), Helicobacter‐like organisms (HLOs), and clinical signs have not been established in dogs. Objectives To evaluate the epidemiol...

ABSTRACT An accurate diagnostic test for Helicobacter spp. infection in dogs is necessary but no gold standard diagnostic method has yet been established. The purpose of this study was to assess the sensitivity of conven...

Abstract Background Nutritional factors are suggested to influence the incidence and severity of glandular gastric disease (GGD) in horses. Objectives To retrospectively assess whether dietary fermentable carbohydrates i...

Abstract Background Transportation has been suggested as a risk factor for gastric ulceration in horses, but limited evidence supports this assumption. Animals Twenty‐six Standardbred, Thoroughbred, and Warmblood mares...

Abstract Background The role of the gastric microbiome in development or persistence of equine glandular gastric disease (EGGD) remains to be investigated. Hypothesis/Objectives The objective was to characterize the glan...

Abstract Background Gastric disease is highly prevalent in sport horses and may lead to poor performance, cause behavioral changes and impact welfare. Hypothesis Assess whether diet affects gastric disease and pain expre...

Abstract Background Grading of equine gastric ulcer syndrome (EGUS) is undertaken in clinical and research settings, but the reliability of EGUS grading systems is poorly understood. Hypothesis/Objectives Investigate int...

Abstract Background Poor performance is a multifactorial syndrome of racehorses, commonly associated with subclinical disorders, which can be diagnosed by exercise testing. Objectives Describe the prevalence of medical c...

Abstract Background Electrolyte supplementation may be a risk factor for gastric mucosal lesions, but relevant evidence is limited in horses. Hypothesis Investigate the effects of PO sodium chloride (NaCl) supplementatio...

Abstract Background Capsule endoscopy offers a new method for visualization of the gastrointestinal mucosa in horses where other imaging technologies have diagnostic limitations. Objectives To (1) test the feasibility of...

Avaliaram-se pela gastroscopia 21 eqüinos adultos sem manifestações clínicas. A prevalência de úlceras gástricas foi alta, 47,6%, principalmente ao longo do margo plicatus, embora de baixa gravidade. Gastrite leve...

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to investigate the relationship between gastroscopic fi ndings and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in uremic patients; and to compare them with the normal population. MATERIAL and METHODS: Sixty two...
