  • Love the show, audio could be better

    I am a hands-on horse owner and I love this podcast because it is easy for me as a layperson to follow along and absorb the wealth of information. If I could offer a suggestion for improvement, it could be to improve the quality of the audio in general.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 193: Umbilical Tissue-Derived Allografts with Dr. Alicia Bertone
Q: Do we have a sense of which specific conditions and anatomic locations that this product would be most effective in treating?
Bertone says the strongest evidence was for painful, dysfunctional joints, while ligament cases showed notable performance improvements. The product was used in multiple joints, including stifles, fetlocks, coffin joints, carpi, and hocks, and in suspensory ligaments and digital flexor tendons.
Ep. 193: Umbilical Tissue-Derived Allografts with Dr. Alicia Bertone
Q: What were some of the findings in terms of lameness, pain, swelling, return to performance, and adverse events from the study?
Bertone says the treatment outperformed standard care, with significant improvements in pain and swelling by two weeks and lameness by four weeks, sustained through 12 weeks. At 26 weeks, performance was also improved, and the treated group had fewer adverse events.
Ep. 192: Equine Kidney Disease with Dr. Thomas Divers
Q: What are some of your treatment and management options for these chronic cases?
He says chronic kidney disease generally cannot be reversed, but management can include adequate calories, moderate protein, reliable access to water, and avoiding nephrotoxic drugs. Horses with kidney stones may benefit from stone fragmentation to improve urine flow and kidney function.
Ep. 192: Equine Kidney Disease with Dr. Thomas Divers
Q: Do we know why some horses progress to failure while others don't? Could that be a matter of early recognition or is that external factors outside of the veterinarian's control typically?
Divers says severe systemic illness and hypotension are often difficult to control, but veterinarians can reduce injury through appropriate fluid therapy and treatment. Excess fluid or nephrotoxic drugs can make the injury worse.
Ep. 191: Developing A New Surgical Technique for Recurrent Laryngeal Neuropathy with Dr. Taralyn McCarrel
Q: What stage are you at now, and what is the timeline before this could be used in horses?
We are in the development phase, with initial modeling and cadaveric testing completed and planned to progress to additional larynges; the team is aiming for progress by late this year or early next year, with eventual clinical trials after successful safety and efficacy demonstrations.
