Ocular Surface Characteristics in Pugs with Pigmentary Keratitis in the Canary Islands, Spain.

This study investigated the prevalence of pigmentary keratitis (PK) in Pug-breed dogs and described the ocular surface characteristics associated with this disease. A total of 219 eyes from 110 dogs were examined, with 94.5% of them affected by PK.

Morphometric Study of the Eyeball of the Loggerhead Turtle () Using Computed Tomography (CT).

The short bibliography referring to the anatomy and pathology of the eyeball of turtles poses a challenge for veterinarians and conservationists given the increasing presence of this type of turtle in veterinary and wildlife centres. Although they nest on land, these animals spend a large part of their lives in the ocean, which entails a series of eye adaptations such as well-developed nictitating membranes, palpebral scales, highly sensitive corneas, or sclerotic rings to protect the eye. In our study, we performed a morphometric analysis of the loggerhead turtle () eyeball and its internal structures using advanced imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT).

Microbial Prevalence and Antimicrobial Sensitivity in Equine Endometritis in Field Conditions.

Endometritis is one of the main causes of infertility in mares. In the present study, 363 mares with a history of repetitive infertility, and positive endometrial cytology and/or vaginal discharge were included. An endometrial swab for microbiological purposes plus sensitivity test was obtained from each mare.
