    The Nupsala Podcast Episode 11 | Inside the Joint: How Equine Synovium Responds to iPAAG

    In this episode of the Nupsala Podcast, we’re joined by Dr Jason Lowe, equine veterinarian and Chief Veterinary Officer at Contura, to take a deep dive into his 2024 paper examining the histologic and cytologic response of normal equine joints following injection with 2.5% injectable polyacrylamide hydrogel (iPAAG). With over 30 years of global clinical experience, Dr Lowe walks us through the rationale, design and key findings of this in vivo safety study, explaining what a low-level macrophage-driven foreign body response actually means in practice, and why it should not be confused with fibrosis, granuloma formation, or adverse inflammatory reactions. The discussion explores: How iPAAG integrates into the synovium and restores joint biomechanics Why a transient macrophage response is part of normal tissue integration What scanning electron microscopy revealed about gel behaviour and stability Practical clinical takeaways around case selection, dosing, timelines for response, and managing post-injection flares How this work fits into a broader shift towards viewing the synovium as the key organ of the joint Dr Lowe also looks ahead to emerging research into macrophage phenotypes, transcriptomics, and how restoring joint biomechanics may influence downstream inflammatory pathways in osteoarthritis. This episode is essential listening for equine vets using (or considering) iPAAG as part of long-term osteoarthritis management, and for anyone interested in the evolving science behind synovial-focused therapies.

    The Nupsala Podcast Episode 9 | A Practical Vet’s View on Stem Cells: Conversations with Dr Simon Constable

    Meg Brady, Nupsala Account Manager, is joined by Dr Simon Constable, Advanced Practitioner in Equine Orthopaedic and Soft Tissue Surgery and owner of Simon Constable Equine Vets in the northwest of England. Simon shares his real-world experience using undifferentiated equine umbilical mesenchymal stem cells across both soft-tissue and early-onset joint cases.   He talks through how he selects cases, why timing and diagnostics matter, and how he manages owner expectations in disciplines where competition schedules and performance pressure can shape clinical decisions.   Simon also discusses client communication, insurance hurdles, alternatives to steroids in laminitis-prone ponies, and some of the more memorable cases he’s worked on, including a Horse of the Year Show winner.   Simon is not endorsed by or affiliated with Nupsala or Equicord.

    The Nupsala Podcast Episode 6 | Breathing Easy: Biologic Breakthroughs for Equine Asthma

    In this episode, Greg McGarrell sits down with Dr. Mark Bowen, an equine internal medicine specialist, to explore a groundbreaking approach to managing equine asthma. Moving beyond traditional treatments like clenbuterol and corticosteroids, Mark shares how a biologic derived from the horse’s own blood is offering a promising alternative — especially for competition horses where drug regulations are tight. They discuss the origins of equine asthma as a diagnosis, the limitations of conventional therapies, and how biologics might serve as a safer, drug-free anti-inflammatory option. With real-world examples, delivery protocols, and an honest look at what science can and can’t yet explain, this episode dives deep into the future of respiratory care in horses. Whether you treat performance horses, manage yard favourites, or simply want a glimpse of where respiratory medicine is heading, this conversation delivers practical insight—and plenty to think about. Have a question or referral? Contact Dr Bowen at referrals@medicine.vet or +44 (0)115 647 0660. Editors Note: A small correction to this podcast is that Ciclesonide has a 120 hour urine detection time not 72 hours as discussed.

    The Nupsala Podcast Episode 5 | Breaking the Silence on Endometriosis: From Awareness to Action

    With Julie Burns (Endometriosis UK Friendly Employer Scheme Manager), Harriet Tims (Operations Manager at Nupsala), and Kelly Masters (Clinical Support at MSK Vets). In this special episode of The Nupsala Podcast, we take a step away from our usual animal healthcare focus to highlight a human health issue that deserves far greater attention: Endometriosis. Earlier this year, Nupsala became an Endometriosis Friendly Employer, and this conversation is part of our ongoing commitment to creating a more inclusive, supportive, and understanding workplace for women’s health needs. Even if you’ve never experienced Endometriosis yourself, your awareness and understanding can make a real difference in fostering a culture of openness, compassion, and support. With 1 in 10 women living with Endometriosis, many continue to endure it without adequate recognition, treatment, or workplace support. For more information on Endometriosis or on becoming a Endometriosis Friendly Employer please visit: https://www.endometriosis-uk.org   Together with our guests, we discuss: ✔ Busting common myths and misconceptions about endometriosis 
✔ Effective management and treatment approaches
 ✔ How workplaces can better support employees with endometriosis
 ✔ What it means to be an Endometriosis Friendly Employer
 ✔ Practical steps to improve policies, culture, and awareness around women’s health   Check out the Women and Equalities Committee’s report on Women’s Reproductive Health Conditions: https://committees.parliament.uk/publications/45909/documents/228040/default/   To stay updated on new episodes, CPD opportunities, and upcoming events, follow us on our social channels: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/nupsala-uk FaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/nupsala-veterinary-services Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nupsalaveterinaryservices   For more information, professional resources or any of your wholesale needs, visit www.nupsala.com.   Disclaimer: This podcast is intended primarily for professionals and workplace leaders.
