Osteoarthritis

The aim of this article is to review potential regenerative treatment strategies for canine IVD degeneration, with specific emphasis on cell-based strategies.
Future exploration of the canine model as a model of IVD-associated spinal pain will further demonstrate its translational capabilities with the added ethical benefit of treating an existing veterinary patient population with IVDD.
Hydroxyapatite and titanium bone substitutes favour from shockwave treatment, whereas tricalcium phosphate does not.
Our results suggest that the combination of low-dose NSAIDs like carprofen with [ASU+GLU+CS] could offer a safe, effective management for joint pain.
Further long-term investigations on specific BCP efficacy in horses with osteoarthritis, preferably in blinded and placebo-controlled studies, should be performed to confirm these first positive results.
These results provide further indication that vitacoxib is safe and well-tolerated in rats after 180 days of daily oral administration at 6 mg/kg bw and the NOAEL for both sexes was 6 mg/kg bw for 180 consecutive days.
Future research focused on key active ingredients would enable consistent and improved efficacy from GSM-based products for the purpose of improved animal health.
Large mineralisations in feline stifles are ossifications in periarticular tissue and are associated with degenerative joint disease
