The first explicit description of iridological principles such as homolaterality (without using the word iridology) are found in Chiromatica Medica, a famous work published in 1665 and reprinted in 1670 and 1691 by Philippus Meyeus (Philip Meyen von Coburg). This is a chart for the right iris, which relates to the right side of the body.
Equine recurrent uveitis (ERU) – also known as moon blindness, recurrent iridocyclitis, or periodic ophthalmia [1] – is an acute, nongranulomatous inflammation of the uveal tract of the eye, occurring commonly in horses of all breeds, worldwide. The causative factor is not known, but several pathogeneses have been suggested.
Black silver horse exhibiting strongly diluted long hair with darker roots and flat gray, dappled body color. The silver or silver dapple (Z) gene is a dilution gene that affects the black base coat color and is associated with Multiple Congenital Ocular Abnormalities.
Twilight, the Thoroughbred mare who was the first horse to have its genome fully sequenced. The horse genome was first sequenced in 2006. The Horse Genome Project mapped 2.7 billion DNA base pairs, [1] and released the full map in 2009. [2] The horse genome is larger than the dog genome, but smaller than the human genome or the bovine genome. [2]
Iridology (also known as iridodiagnosis) is an alternative medicine technique whose proponents believe that patterns, colors, and other characteristics of the iris can be examined to determine information about a patient's systemic health. Practitioners match their observations to "iris charts", which divide the iris into zones corresponding to ...
Two non-dun parents cannot produce a dun foal. Horses that are non-dun1 d1/d1 or d1/d2 may have some asymmetry in pigment distribution, producing primitive markings, but to a lesser degree than dun horses. Homozygous non-dun1/non-dun1 horses typically have clearer primitive markings than heterozygous d1/d2 horses. The primitive markings from ...
Ignaz von Peczely (26 January 1826 – 14 July 1911) was a Hungarian scientist, physician, and [1] [2] [3] homeopath, considered the father of modern iridology. [4 ...
The domestic horse is almost alone among extant equines in having chestnuts on the hind legs. [5] Chestnuts are absent from the hind legs of asses and zebras. [6] The majority of domestic horses have chestnuts on all four legs, as does the Przewalski's horse, [6] but a few horse breeds are reported to lack chestnuts on the hind legs. [6] These ...
