We have shown in previous studies that electric waves at rest could be recorded from the testicle and originate from the tunica albuginea (TA) and not from the testicular tissue. In the current study, we investigated the hypothesis that the electric activity of the TA increases during ejaculation. Three electrodes were sutured to the TAs of 11 anesthetized male dogs. The slow waves were recorded at rest and on inducing ejaculation by an ejaculator applied to the glans penis. Basal electric waves were recorded from the testicle. Each wave consisted of a negative followed by a positive deflection with a mean frequency of 6.2 ± 1.3 cycles/min, an amplitude of 0.59 ± 0.06 mV, and a conduction velocity of 5.2 ± 0.8 cm/sec. These wave variables showed a significant intermittent increase (P < 0.05) at intervals of 0.6–1.0 sees and occurred simultaneously with the bouts of ejaculation. The increase remained for 0.8–1.2 sees at each ejaculation bout. The number of bouts of increased electric waves varied from 3 to 5. Apparently, the TA is not an inert covering to the testicle, but it seems to have a functional activity. Recording resting electric waves of the TA presumably denotes that the TA possesses a resting tone that appears to support the testicular tissue. During ejaculation, the increased electric activity of the TA, which coincides with semen spurt episodes, presumably denotes TA contraction. The intermittent TA contractions seem to assist in massaging the testicular secretions to the epididymis and the vas deferens and augment testicular circulation. The effect of pathologic conditions of the TA on ejaculation needs to be studied.

Mobilization and manipulation techniques are often used in small animal and equine practice; however, questions remain concerning indications, dosing and efficacy. A bibliographic search was performed to identify peer-reviewed publications from 1980 to 2020 that evaluated the clinical effects of musculoskeletal mobilization and manipulation techniques in dogs, cats and horses. The search strategy identified 883 papers for review. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied. The clinical indications, dosages, outcome parameters, and reported efficacy within each publication were recorded and categorized for comparison with scientific quality assessed according to a standardized grading system. Fourteen articles were included in this systematic review of which 13 were equine and one was a canine study. Seven of these were cohort studies and seven were randomized controlled clinical trials. The canine study involved carpal immobilization-remobilization and all equine studies focused on the effects of passive mobilization (n = 5) or manipulation (n = 8) of the axial skeleton. Study quality was low (n = 4), moderate (n = 7), and high (n = 3) and included a wide array of outcome parameters with varying levels of efficacy and duration of therapeutic effects, which prevented further meta-analysis. Therefore, it was difficult to draw firm conclusions despite all studies reporting positive effects. Optimal technique indications and dosages need to be determined to improve the standardization of these treatment options.
