Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, titled "Advances in Veterinary Anatomy: Connecting Basic Research with Clinical, Biotechnological, and Educational Innovations", will provide a comprehensive platform for exploring the latest advancements in veterinary anatomy. Veterinary anatomy serves as the cornerstone for understanding animal health, disease mechanisms, and treatment strategies. This Special Issue will highlight innovative research, techniques, and methodologies that enhance our knowledge of animal anatomy and their applications in clinical, biotechnological, and educational contexts. Contributions that integrate basic anatomical research with cutting-edge diagnostic or therapeutic approaches and recent advancements in the biotechnological field, as well as studies that explore novel teaching methods for veterinary anatomy, are especially encouraged. By collating diverse perspectives, this Special Issue will bridge the gap between fundamental research, practical applications, and educational innovation, ultimately advancing the veterinary profession. Giorgio Mirra and Mirko Sergio will assist this Special Issue to increase its scope and reach.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Animals.

Establishing baseline ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) measurements of the feline anterior segment is essential for accurate evaluation of ocular diseases. This study aimed to establish normative UBM parameters in clinically normal cats and to assess the influence of sex, body weight, and age on these measurements. Twenty eyes from twenty healthy adult cats were examined using a standardized UBM protocol under general anesthesia to ensure consistent positioning and optimal visualization. Quantitative measurements were obtained for corneal, anterior chamber, iris, ciliary cleft, and ciliary body parameters. The mean perilimbal corneal thickness was 0.59 mm, anterior chamber depth was 4.11 mm, and peripheral anterior chamber depth was 3.11 mm. The angle-opening distance and iridocorneal angle measured 1.73 mm and 28.89°, respectively. Ciliary cleft parameters included a width of 1.22 mm, length of 2.07 mm, and area of 1.10 mm2. Longitudinal and combined longitudinal–radial ciliary body thicknesses were 0.52 mm and 0.78 mm, respectively, while ciliary body axial length and ciliary process scleral angle averaged 2.01 mm and 58.98°. Iris base width and iris middle width measured 0.35 mm and 0.54 mm, respectively. Sex-based analysis revealed significant differences in peripheral anterior chamber depth and ciliary cleft width, whereas body weight showed positive correlations with iris thickness parameters. No significant associations were identified between age and any anterior segment measurements. These findings establish comprehensive normative UBM reference values for the feline anterior segment and provide a quantitative anatomical framework for future clinical and disease-oriented studies in feline ophthalmology.

Social media is increasingly present in higher education, particularly in fields that rely on visual learning such as veterinary anatomy and clinical sciences. This study investigated how veterinary students perceived the use of social media for educational and professional purposes, with specific attention to its role in learning anatomy and observing clinical procedures. An online cross-sectional survey was administered to students across different academic levels at a veterinary faculty. The questionnaire included demographic questions and eight Likert-scale items addressing the educational value of social media, its role in accessing learning materials, engagement with professional visuals, and ethical concerns regarding the sharing of clinical or surgical content. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey tests to assess differences by academic year, age group, and daily social media usage. Analysis showed that students in earlier academic years generally held more favorable views on the use of social media for accessing learning materials and understanding complex subjects. Students in advanced years expressed greater ethical concern, particularly about sharing surgical or clinical videos online. Daily social media usage showed limited influence on general perceptions, though some variation appeared in topic-specific responses. The results suggest that veterinary programs may benefit from structured educational components on digital professionalism and responsible media use to better align student engagement with ethical standards and educational objectives.
