1. Grosche, Astrid; Kolik bei Pferden - Retrospektive Studie aus dem Patientengut der Medizinischen Tierklinik Leipzig 1994 - 1998: A retrospective study was done in 583 colic horses. The study was based on the colic history, clinical findings, blood work, medical or surgical treatment and outcome. Results of horses with different colic were compared with values of normal adult horses used t-test with a value of P < 0.05 according to statistical significance. Horses with 6 and mares with 7 years of age (xM) had increased colic. The colic horses had mild to moderate, intermittent colic episodes and a significantly increased heart and respiratory rate. Reduced gut sounds and no feces were observed. Endoparasites and gastric lesions were found in more than 50 % of colic horses. Most colic horses had impaction in the left ventral large colon (21.4 %), large colon displacement (19.8 %), small intestine strangulation obstruction (12.0 %) or spasmodic colic (9.4 %). Colic patients were treated medically (62.3 %), surgically (32.9 %) and 4.8 % of colic horses were euthanatized. The mortality rate of colic horses was 23.2 %. The incidence of colic in females and males was not statistically significant. However strangulation of large colon or left ventral large colon impaction in mares and colitis and spasmodic colic in males were significantly increased. Moderate continuous colic episodes and an increased heart rate (xM = 68 bpm) were predicted factors for surgical treatment. But medical or surgical treatment was based on the type of colic. Respectively colicky mares with foals had more frequently surgery. Surgically treated horses had hypovolemia and an azotemia. Factors of bad prognosis in colic horses were an increased age, the period after foaling, severe continuous colic symptoms and fluid deficit. Colic horses with an increased heart rate (xM = 80 bpm), high metabolic acidosis, extreme dehydration and acute renal failure died. Horses with spasmodic colic, gastric lesions or simple obstructions of the large intestine had mild colic signs. Hyperbilirubinemia was remarkable in horses with a colic duration > 24 hours. Horses with spasmodic colic, left ventral large colon impaction, gastric lesions, 54.8 % of horses with large colon displacement, large intestine tympany (73.9 %), cecal impaction (85.0 %) or small colon impaction (82.4 %)were medically treated and discharged. Horses with small or large intestine strangulation obstruction or acute colitis had severe hypovolemia and endotoxemia. The heart rate was greater than 80 bpm. Colic duration > 10 hours found in 30 horses with small intestine strangulation obstruction caused metabolic acidosis, hypovolemia and azotemia but 25 died. Horses with acute colitis had leukopenia and left shift which 10 out of 25 were discharged. Based on the results of the clinical findings in horses which were euthanatized before or after surgery the heart rate was one of the most significant prognostic indicator. The clinical pathological results based on the increased heart rate of horses (500 kg bw) with small or large intestine strangulation obstruction, large colon displacement or acute colitis were used to calculate fluid deficit. · Horses with large colon displacement and a heart rate > 60 bpm had an intravascular deficit of 2 to 7 liter of fluid as well as a sodium bicarbonate deficit of 250 mmol. · Horses with small intestine strangulation obstruction need at least 5 liter of fluid, but horses with a heart rate > 80 bpm should get 7 to 20 liter of fluid and 400 to 1000 mmol of sodium bicarbonate. · Horses with large colon strangulation need at least 7 liter, but horses with a heart rate > 80 bpm should get 20 to 27 liter of fluid and 500 to 1800 mmol of sodium bicarbonate. · Horses with acute colitis have fluid deficit of at least 6 liter, and horses with a heart rate > 68 bpm need 11 to 16 liter of fluid for hydration and 400 to 1100 mmol of sodium bicarbonate for acid-base balance. Finally an exact physical and continuous examination as well as a problem oriented emergency treatment are the best criteria for a good prognosis of colic horses. Based on these results the following treatments could be recommended to the practitioners before horses with colic are transported into the clinic: · Exact physical examination including rectal examination and evacuating stomach via nasogastric tube · Placing an intravenous catheter (minimum 12 gage) · If possible determining the packed cell volume, total protein concentration and/or asid-base-status · Sufficient painkillers · Infusion therapy based on the type of colic or changes in blood parameters to balance the fluid and electrolyt deficits or acid-base disturbances as well as to prevent acute kidney failure.

3. Bunger, Frederic; Histomorphometrische Befunde am M. gluteus medius von Pferden ausgewahlter deutscher Warmblutrassen- Selektionskriterium fur die sportliche Veranlagung?: Summary Histomorphometric findings of the gluteus medius muscle of horses from selected german warm-blooded breeds - selection criterion for athletic ability? (96 p., 11 fig., 52 tables, 131 ref.) For examining the histomorphometric muscle indices biopsies were taken of warm-blooded horses descending from selected German breeds. Biopsies were taken at standardized depth of 5 cm from the left gluteus medius muscle of 64 two-year-old stallions using a BERGSTROEM biopsy needle (1962). Muscle samples were evaluated according to different breeds, the aptitude for dressage or show jumping, the possession of a breeding licence and the derivation of different paternal bloodlines. The histochemical method used was that described by ZIEGAN (1979), which considers the physiological as well as the biochemical properties of muscle fibres. Therefore muscle fibres were distinguished in STO, FTO, fibres of intermediate type and FTG. For these fibre the types relative number, absolute and relative cross-sectional fibre area as well as the quotient fast-/slow-twitch fibers, oxidative/glycolytic muscle fibers and FTO/FTG were determined. Between horses of different German warm-blooded breeds there were significant differences in the percentage of STO (p< 0,001) and FTO-fibres (p< 0,01). Trakehner horses had the highest percentage of slow-twitch fibres with 35,9 %, and the lowest percentage of FTO-fibres with 33,8 %. The other two extremes according to these fibre types occured in Westphalian horses. Absolute cross-sectional STO-fibre areas were also significantly different between horses of different breeds (p< 0,05). Again, the Trakehner horses were in the lead with 2956,89 µm2. Comparing the relative muscle fibre area of differently bred horses, FTG-fibres also turned out to be significantly different (p< 0,01) from each other. Dressage horses had with 26,6 % a significantly higher (p< 0,05) proportion of STO-fibres than show jumping horses with a percentage of 21,9 %. Show jumping horses had a higher percentage of FTO-fibres with 46,7 % than dressage horses with 38,8 % (p< 0,05). Expressing a high correlation of relative number and relative cross-sectional fibre area (r< 0,92), the latter criterion also turned out to be different for STO- (p< 0,05) and FTO-fibres (p< 0,001). Licenced breeding stallions showed a significantly (p< 0,05) lower proportion of slow-twitch fibres with 20 % than stallions without breeding permission with 25 %. This relation also turned out to be significant for the relative fibre area (p< 0,05) . Furthermore it was found that offsprings of different paternal bloodlines differ from one another according to the percentage of STO- (p< 0,01) and FTO-fibres (p< 0,001), according to relative cross-sectional fibre areas of STO- (p< 0,001), FTO- (p< 0,01) and FTG-fibres (p< 0,05) and according to absolute fibre areas of slow-twitch muscle fibres (p< 0,05). These results suggest following conclusions: 1. The findings show a high correlation between muscle fiber type composition and genetic factors in the horse. 2. Earlier observed differences in morphological muscle indices between different races of horses were also evident between horses of different german warm-blooded breeds. 3. Horses, which have been bred specifically for show jumping over numerous generations, possess a higher percentage of FTO-fibres. This probably enables them to generate an enormous amount of power in the moment of take-off. Dressage horses have to perform exercises of comparatively low intensity but long duration. Therefore the muscle biopsy is a usefull selection criterion in young horses. 4. The results from the licenced breeding stallions indicate selection in favour of individuals having a high percentage of FTO- and a low percentage of STO-fibers, which may be related to muscle fibre properties and the locomotor pattern of the horse.
