Soft tissues around the kneecap (patella) as a cause of equine lameness is an area yet to be scientifically investigated but that is often clinically treated with “alternative” methods without an established diagnosis. In human medicine, patellar tendinosis is a common verified diagnosis.
Degenerative changes with pathological neovascularization and nerve ingrowth into the patellar tendon is believed to be the pain origin, not inflammation. Veterinary literature is scant on comparative pathology, innervation of soft tissue surrounding the stifle, and diagnostics.
We have identified several horses with chronic push-off lameness (verified with objective motion analysis) where ultrasound detected patellar ligament lesions. The aim of the project is to investigate if patellar tendinosis is an equine condition using research competencies in biomechanics, diagnostic imaging, and pathology to produce clinical diagnostic tools and treatment recommendations based on a scientific foundation.
Mjukdelarna runt knäskålen (patella) som orsak till hälta hos häst är ett vetenskapligt outforskat område men som kliniskt ofta behandlas med "alternativa" metoder utan fastställd diagnos. Inom humanmedicinen är patellartendinosis en utbredd verifierad diagnos. Degenerativa förändringar med patologisk kärl- och nervinväxt i patellarsenan tros vara orsak till smärtan, inte inflammation. Motsvarande patologi, innervering av de olika mjukdelsstrukturerna runt knäleden samt diagnostik är dock knappt beskriven i veterinärmedicinsk litteratur. Vi har identifierat ett antal hästar med frånskjutshälta (verifierad med objektiv rörelseanalys) av kronisk karaktär där ultraljud visat skador på patellas band. Syftet med projektet är därför att undersöka om patellartendinos är ett ekvint sjukdomstillstånd med hjälp av hög forskningskompetens inom biomekanik, bilddiagnostik, samt patologi för att producera kliniska diagnostiska verktyg och behandlingsförslag baserat på en vetenskaplig grund.

According to applicable legislation, manure and digestate must be sanitized in order to prevent disease transmission before they may be merchandised on the open market. Swedish plants currently have the choice between using one of two standard methods (70 °C for 1 h, or 52 °C for 10 h), or carry …

The rollback of insecticides exposes Swedish horticulture to a multitude of pests. Targeted and sustainable innovations are sorely needed. Here we target several pests of fruits, onion, cabbage, beans and salad and aim to develop 1) species-selective lures using a novel olfactomics platform, 2) use …

Fruit tree canker, caused by the fungus Neonectria ditissima, has become a threat for Swedish apple production. No efficient protective measures are available and no complete genetic resistance is known in apple. However, apple genotypes differ in the level of partial resistance which must be fully …

A major challenge facing agriculture is handling water excess and deficit exacerbated by climate change, while reducing eutrophication. Controlled drainage (CD) has the potential to address these issues and improve yield stability. Despite CDs clear benefits and state subsidies for CD installation, …

The goal with this project is to increase the profitability and production efficiency on Swedish dairy farms by renewing
the genetic evaluation of the breeding value of temperament in dairy cows. We want to investigate if automatic
recordings of behaviour using SLU Gigacow on farm level can improve …
