Abstract Objective To determine the impact of chronic dental disease on the nasolacrimal duct of chinchillas using contrast CT dacryocystorhinography. Animals Studied Two 12‐year‐old female chinchillas with uni‐ or bilateral ocular discharge and a history of chronic, moderate (Chinchilla 1, one‐year) or severe (Chinchilla 2, three‐years) dental disease.

Age‐Related Variations of Corneal Sensitivity in Puppies Beagle Dogs
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the evolution of corneal sensitivity in healthy beagle puppies during the first weeks of life, compare these results with adult corneal sensitivity, and determine the age at which adult corneal sensitivity levels are reached. Animals Studied Twelve puppies and five adult females.

The evolution of muscle spindles
Abstract Muscle spindles are stretch‐sensitive mechanoreceptors found in the skeletal muscles of most four‐limbed vertebrates. They are unique amongst sensory receptors in the ability to regulate their sensitivity by contraction of the intrafusal muscle fibres on which the sensory endings lie.

Two‐tone suppression between the ultrasounds above and within the hearing range in mice
Abstract Hearing range differs among various species. Ultrasound, which is audible to microbats and dolphins, is inaudible to humans through air conduction. However, it can create an auditory sensation when the stimulation is transmitted through the temporal bone.

Inhibitory effect of oestradiol on the cardiac KV7.1/KCNE1 channel is species dependent
Abstract Oestradiol (17β‐E2) is reported to prolong the cardiac action potential duration and QT interval, in part by affecting cardiac ion channels. Previous studies found inhibiting 17β‐E2 effects on the repolarizating cardiac KV7.1/KCNE1 channel, or its native current, in heterologous expression systems or tissue from animal species.
