the aim of this study was to validate the Alternate Current Biosusceptometry (ACB) for monitoring gastric contractions in rats. In vitro data were obtained to establish the relationship between ACB and the strain-gauge (SG) signal amplitude. In vivo experiments were performed on rats with magnetic markers and SGs previously implanted under the gastric serosa. The effects of the prandial state in gastric motility profiles were obtained. The correlation between in vitro signal amplitudes was strong (R = 0.989). The temporal cross-correlation between the ACB and SG signal amplitude was higher in the postprandial than in the fasting state. Irregular signal profiles, low contraction amplitudes, and smaller signal-to-noise ratios explained the poor correlation for fasting-state recordings. The contraction frequencies using ACB were 0.068 ± 0.007 Hz (postprandial) and 0.058 ± 0.007 Hz (fasting) and those using SG were 0.066 ± 0.006 Hz (postprandial) and 0.059 ± 0.008 Hz (fasting) (P < 0.003). When a magnetic tracer was ingested, there was a strong correlation and a small phasedifference between techniques. We conclude that ACB provides an accurate and sensitive technique for studies of GI motility in the rat. © 2010 IEEE.

Subluxation of the proximal interphalangeal joint is a rare and little studied condition in horses. We describe the case of a 12-year-old mare with bilateral dorsal subluxation of the proximal interphalangeal joint of the hind feet. Tenectomy of the medial digital flexor was performed in both limbs, and the patient showed signs of recovery within 14 days. Goniometry of the proximal interphalangeal joints 10 months after surgery showed diminution of 5° for the proximal interphalangeal axis of the left hind limb. However, no change was found for the joint angle of the right limb. Even so, the patient's gait and radiographic results were normal, and clinical abnormalities such as joint clicking and swelling were no longer observed. © 2013 Elsevier Inc.
