Уважаемые коллеги, доброго времени суток! Мы начинаем заключительный обзор в области Ветеринарии, после обзоров в нескольких смежных сферах публикаций больше не будет. Сегодня хотим представить вашему вниманию американское научное издание Equine Veterinary Journal. Журнал имеет первый квартиль, издаётся в Wiley-Blackwell, его SJR за 2022 г. равен 0,798, импакт-фактор 2,2, печатный ISSN - 0425-1644, электронный - 2042-3306, предметные области - Лошади и коневодство, Медицина (общие вопросы).

Пример статьи, название - Osteoarthritis of the coxofemoral joint in 24 horses: Evaluation of radiography, ultrasonography, intra-articular anaesthesia, treatment and outcome. Заголовок (Abstract)
Background
Few case reports describe equine coxofemoral joint osteoarthritis (CFJOA).
Objectives
To evaluate diagnostic findings and outcome of horses with CFJOA and to provide a score facilitating radiographic assessment.
Study design
Retrospective case series.
Methods
History, clinical signs, ultrasonographic, radiographic and intra-articular anaesthesia findings, treatments, outcome, and necropsy results of horses with CFJOA presented between 2002 and 2023 were collated. Radiographic findings were categorised to develop a radiographic score which was applied by two masked examiners. Intra- and inter-observer reliability was determined using weighted Cohen's kappa (Cκ) and the correlation between radiographic and ultrasound findings via Spearman correlation coefficient.
Results
The study included 24 horses (median age 14 years). Most of them (20/24) were chronically lame. Frequent clinical signs included unilateral gluteal muscle atrophy (18/21), lengthening of the stride of the affected limb (13/19) and locomotion on three tracks (13/20). Both imaging modalities enabled evaluation of periarticular osteophytes (correlation coefficient r = 0.64; p = 0.003). Additionally, radiography allowed detection of irregular joint spaces, subchondral bone opacity changes and femoral head flattening/tapering. Inter-observer (Cκ = 0.846) and intra-observer (Cκ = 0.853 and Cκ = 0.842) agreement was excellent. If treated, mostly intra-articular corticosteroids were administered (16/18). Nine horses were euthanised immediately or during follow-up examination. Post-mortem, the Ligamentum capitis ossis femoris was commonly found ruptured. All surviving horses remained lame.
Main limitations
Retrospective analysis of clinical records and subjective outcome assessment based on owner follow-up with potential recall bias. Due to overall disease severity, associations between different grades of clinical findings, radiographic abnormalities and outcome could not be evaluated.
Conclusions
Typical clinical signs may indicate CFJOA. Standardised evaluation of ventrodorsal radiographs allows a comprehensive diagnosis. Postmortem findings suggest joint instability as a possible causative factor that may contribute to the poor prognosis and resistance to medical therapy of the disorder.
