Neutrophilic Inflammation

AbstractEquine Recurrent Airway Obstruction (RAO), also known as heaves or broken wind, is one of the most common disease in middle-aged horses. Inflammation of the airway is inducted by organic dust exposure. This disease is characterized by neutrophilic inflammation, bronchospasm, excessive mucus production and pathologic changes in the bronchiolar walls. Clinical signs are resolved in 3-4 weeks after environmental changes. Horses suffering from RAO are susceptible to allergens throughout their lives, therefore they should be properly managed. In therapy the most importanthing is to eliminate dust exposure, administration of corticosteroids and use bronchodilators to improve pulmonary function.

Manual Methods

A previously described comprehensive respiratory information system (CRIS) has been changed to introduce new spirometric tests which are sensitive to minor abnormalities, revise on the basis of additional data the regression equations which define normal values to various parameters of pulmonary function and refine the system’s interpretation scheme. The beneficial effects of transferring the system from a large IBM 360/65 to a small CDC 1700 are presented. An analysis of the costs of processing routine pulmonary function studies reveals that a 40°/o saving is realized when a computer is used in comparison to the use of the usual manual methods.
