Lacrimal caruncula thermography overestimates rectal temperature in horses: Influence of camera type and measurement distance

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Rectal temperature (RT) is the gold standard for assessing body temperature in horses, but handling and welfare concerns limit its use. Thermography of the lacrimal caruncula (LC) has been proposed as a noncontact alternative, although its accuracy may be influenced by device characteristics and measurement distance.

The Africa We Want: A Perspective on the African Code Against Cancer To Be Developed for Sub‐Saharan Africa

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) faces a unique cancer burden, characterized by a disproportionately high mortality‐to‐incidence ratio, a large share of infection‐related cancers, and distinct environmental exposures. Implementation of national policies on primary prevention is limited, and public literacy regarding cancer risk and curability remains ...
