Equine proceedings from CVC
Evidence-based medicine: how to critically appraise the literature (Proceedings)
CVC IN SAN DIEGO PROCEEDINGS
Critical appraisal of reports entails 3 fundamental steps: 1) determining if study results are valid; 2) assessing the clinical importance of study findings; and, 3) assessing if the results of valid, clinically important studies are relevant to our patients. A foundation for applying these 3 steps is a hierarchy of study types for EBM, which places a premium on those that are patient-based. Clinical importance has many interpretations, but in terms of quantification it is best assessed in reference to the magnitude of the observed association(s) in a study.
Rhodococcus equi infection in foals: immunity and clinical signs (Proceedings)
CVC IN SAN DIEGO PROCEEDINGS
Among equids, R. equi infections occur almost exclusively among foaIs; infected adult horses generally have an underlying immunodeficiency, and human cases of R. equi are most commonly reported among persons infected with HIV or with other forms of immunosuppression such as that induced by drugs in transplant recipients and those receiving chemotherapy.
Gastric ulcer update and review (Proceedings)

Characterized by clinical and laboratory findings of muscle damage not associated with exercise. Includes inflammatory, nutritional, toxic, traumatic, metabolic, congenital, immune mediated and idiopathic causes of muscle disease.
Underwater treadmill exercise in horses (Proceedings)
CVC IN SAN DIEGO PROCEEDINGS
The use of underwater treadmill exercise for training and rehabilitation of horses has become increasingly popular in recent years. Many claims are made as to the usefulness of this form of exercise in horses; although relatively little published information is available to substantiate these assertions. In humans, underwater treadmill therapy has long been recognized for benefits in rehabilitation.
