Corneal thickness measured by ultrasonic pachymetry in cats
1993
Gilger, B.C. | Wright, J.C. | Whitley, R.D. | McLaughlin, S.A.
Ultrasonic pachymetry was used to measure central, superior peripheral, and temporal peripheral corneal thickness of 35 cats (70 eyes) with normal corneas, anterior chambers, and intraocular pressures. Mean central corneal thickness for both eyes in 3 locations for 35 cats was 578 +/- 64 micrometers. Significant differences did not exist between central and peripheral corneal thickness. Corneal thickness increased significantly (P < 0.0001) with age up to 100 months. There was no significant difference in corneal thickness with regard to sex of the cats when adjusted for age.

1993
Jakovljevic, S. | Gibbs, C.
One hundred two dogs without known gastric lesions were evaluated to establish a reference range of gastric rugal fold thickness (millimeters). Mucosal folds were measureable for 63 examinations, and the length of the second lumbar vertebra was measured for 61 of the 63 (centimeters). Body weight was available in the case records of 29 dogs. Measurements of the mucosal folds were related to body weight (n = 29) and length of the second lumbar vertebra (n = 61) by use of linear regression analysis. Reference range of normal gastric mucosal fold thickness, 1 to 8 mm, was defined by this study for dogs of any breed weighing between 2 and 50 kg.
