Shear wave velocity measurements obtained in different regions are repeatable for presumed normal canine lymph nodes : a pilot study Ghent University

Sophie Favril, Hilde De Rooster, Bart Broeckx, Emmelie Stock, Katrien Vanderperren
Shear wave elastography (SWE) has been applied as a noninvasive method for predicting regional lymph node (LN) metastases in human and veterinary patients. However, published studies describing standardized protocols and repeatability of this technique are currently lacking. The objective of this prospective, pilot, observer agreement study was to determine whether different shear wave velocity (SWV) measurements obtained in different regions of ...

Shear wave elastography of lymph nodes in dogs with head and neck cancer : a pilot study Ghent University

Sophie Favril, Emmelie Stock, Bart Broeckx, Nausikaa Devriendt, Hilde De Rooster, Katrien Vanderperren
Shear wave elastography (SWE) is a novel ultrasound imaging technique, used in human medicine to differentiate metastatic from non-metastatic lymph nodes (LNs) based on higher tissue stiffness. The objective of this pilot study was to evaluate whether canine metastatic LNs were stiffer compared to non-metastatic LNs. SWE of sentinel or regional LNs in dogs with head and neck cancer was performed. Ten elastograms of each LN were acquired. In each ...

Cellular and humoral immunogenicity investigation of single and repeated allogeneic tenogenic primed mesenchymal stem cell treatments in horses suffering from tendon injuries Ghent University

Eva Depuydt, Sarah Y. Broeckx, Koen Chiers, Marco Patruno, Laura Da Dalt, Luc Duchateau, Jimmy Saunders, Frederik Pille, Ann Martens, Lore Van Hecke, et al.
The use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for the treatment of equine tendon disease is widely investigated because of their regenerative and immunomodulatory potential. However, questions have been raised concerning the immunogenic properties of allogeneic MSCs. Therefore, two studies were conducted to assess the safety of equine allogeneic peripheral blood-derived tenogenic primed MSCs (tpMSCs). The objective was to evaluate if a single and ...

B-mode and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography aspects of benign and malignant superficial neoplasms in dogs : a preliminary study Ghent University

Amber Hillaert, Emmelie Stock, Luc Duchateau, Hilde De Rooster, Nausikaa Devriendt, Katrien Vanderperren
Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) is considered a promising technique for differentiation of benign and malignant tumors in humans. However, few studies have assessed superficial neoplasms in dogs by means of CEUS. The aim of this study was to identify ultrasonographic criteria evaluated by B-mode ultrasound (US) and CEUS that may be used to distinguish benign and malignant superficial neoplasms in dogs. A total of 63 superficial ...

Profiling the aerobic window of horses in response to training by means of a modified lactate minimum speed test : flatten the curve Ghent University

Lorie De Maré, Berit Boshuizen, Carmen Vidal Moreno de Vega, Constance De meeûs, Lukas Plancke, Yannick Gansemans, Filip Van Nieuwerburgh, Dieter Deforce, Jean Eduardo de Oliveira, Guilherme Hosotani, et al.
There is a great need for objective external training load prescription and performance capacity evaluation in equestrian disciplines. Therefore, reliable standardised exercise tests (SETs) are needed. Classic SETs require maximum intensities with associated risks to deduce training loads from pre-described cut-off values. The lactate minimum speed (LMS) test could be a valuable alternative. Our aim was to compare new performance parameters of a ...
