Phacolytic glaucoma the lens to become cloudy and gradually turn opaque, causing a decrease in vision. Through the leakage of proteins that have a high molecular weight an obstruction of the drainage mechanism of the eye is caused. A variety of procedures can be used to physically diagnose phacolytic glaucoma as there are a variety of other types of glaucoma which may be confused with phacolysis such as acute angle-closure glaucoma (AACG), lens-particle glaucoma, neovascular glaucoma, phacomorphic glaucoma and uveitic glaucoma which can cause confusion in which procedures need to be conducted to revamp vision. The first type of diagnosis procedure referred
Henneke horse body condition scoring system strenuous work and also may lack lean muscle. Horses with a very high body condition score carry too much weight, which interferes with stamina and biomechanics. Some studies addressed the relationship of body condition score and endurance performance in endurance races. In a study of the 1990 Purina Race of Champions (a 241-km / 150-mile, 2-day endurance race), it was found that the top-7 finishers of the race (i.e. highly competitive horses) had significantly lower body condition scores and marginally less rump fat than horses eliminated for metabolic criteria (i.e. less competitive horses). By contrast, two studies on the Tevis
