The Effects of Pregnancy Status on Lacrimal Caruncle Temperature, Intraocular Pressure and Rectal Temperature in Cats: A Preliminary Study
(2024) Ozcan, C.; Safak, T.; Dellalbasi, A.B.; Dogan, E.
Objective: The objectives of this study were to compare the body temperatures between pregnant and nonpregnant cats from two sites, lacrimal caruncle temperature (LCT) and rectal temperature (RT), and to compare intraocular pressure (IOP) between pregnant and nonpregnant cats. Animal studied: This study was performed on 13 pregnant and 16 anoestrous cats. Procedures: The gestation period of the pregnant cats ranged from 20 to 45 days. A vaginal smear was also performed to determine the sexual cycles of nonpregnant cats. The IOP was measured using a rebound tonometer. Results: The pregnant cats (38 ± 0.7°C) exhibited a lower RT than the nonpregnant cats (38.5 ± 0.5°C) (p < 0.05). No significant differences existed between the pregnant and nonpregnant groups in the right (R)-LCT or left (L)-LCT (p > 0.05). The average LCT temperature measured 32.30 ± 2.23°C in cats. The right (R)-IOP in pregnant cats (17.69 ± 5.6 mm Hg) was significantly lower than in nonpregnant cats (22.37 ± 5.27 mm Hg) (p < 0.029). Pregnant cats exhibited a significantly lower left (L)-IOP value (17.69 ± 5.76 mm Hg) compared to nonpregnant cats (23.18 ± 5.55 mm Hg) (p < 0.015). Conclusion: This study presents a preliminary report that documents a noteworthy reduction in RT in pregnant cats (38 ± 0.7°C) as compared to cats in anoestrus. Pregnancy also has an effect on the IOP. It was hypothesised that the hormonal changes induced by pregnancy in cats would have a substantial impact on IOP and RT. Although body temperature can be measured using LCT, RT should still be utilised as the reference measurement site.

Thermography Diagnosis of Medial Patellar Ligament Rupture in a Horse
(2023.01.01) Dogan, E.; Deniz, O.; Dellalbasi, A.B.
In this report, thermography was evaluated as a portable diagnostic tool in addition to ultrasonography, which is frequently used in the diagnosis of medial patellar ligament tears in horses. Thermography revealed that the medial patellar ligament has difficulty absorbing quadriceps forces and that the cranial surface of the stifle joint shows elevated temperatures at rest. At the end of training, load sharing occurred between the cranial and caudal surfaces of the joint and the quadriceps muscle. Temperature changes captured by thermography may indicate the severity of the injury and help clinicians suspect ligament tears even without access to ultrasonography.
