Concerning animal disease management, ‘models’ can be defined more widely in that they contain a range of statistical/mathematical tools regarding other aspects of the disease in addition to its spreading. Modelling might be useful when experimental or field studies are impossible or not practical or in retrospective analyzing of previous epidemics in order to search alternative control strategies.

In this study, 30 healthy ears belonging to 15 cats which were classified as ASA-I (American Society of Anesthesiologyist) were determined and evaluated according to equivalent ear canal volume (Vea), static acoustic admittance [Ytm (compliance)], tympanometric peak pressure (TPP) and gradient values under general anesthesia.

INTRODUCTION Impedance audiometry has two main components: tympanometry and stapedius reflex measurement (1). Tympanometry is one of the most frequently performed and important components of the basic audiological evaluation. Objective middle ear assessment can best be performed by tympanometry (2). It measures how the middle-ear system responds to sound energy and changes in atmospheric pressure. It provides an objective, physiological measure of the acoustic admittance of the middle ear with the aid of air pressure in a sealed ear canal (3). The permeability and resistance of the middle ear system is defined with tympanometry via measuring the response to a sound stimulus using a microphone while pressure is changed along the external ear canal (4). The purpose of tympanometry is to asses audition on the basis of an objective description of the integrity and compliance of the eardrum, the mobility of the ossicular chain, the function of middle ear muscles and their attachments, and the size of the external ear canal (3).

In the study, 20 neonatal calves with suscepted sepsis and 10 clinically healthy neonatal calves were used. Sera were collected from each animal and used to determine cardiac troponin I (cTnI), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), creatine kinase-myocardial band (CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and histone H3 levels. In the study, serum levels of cTnI (p<0.05), NT-proBNP (p<0.05), CK-MB (p<0.001), LDH (p<0.001) and histone H3 (p<0.01) were significantly higher in calves with suspected sepsis than those of control calves. Results of the present study indicate that, cardiac functions are impaired, and cardiac and other organ damages are occurred in sepsis suspected neonatal calves. This is the first report that cardiac dysfunction and sepsis-related organ damages were indicated by the elevated NT-proBNP and histone H3 in neonatal calves with suspected sepsis. It is suggestive that, cTnI and NT-proBNP to detect cardiac dysfunction and histone H3 to detect organ damages can be useful as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in sepsis suspected calves.

In recent years, it has become preferable to report the effect size expressing practical significance in addition to the statistical significance expressed by the p-value in hypothesis tests in scientific research, and even it has been required by some scientific journals. By reporting the effect size, it is possible to use it in statistical power analysis, to compare the results of the studies, and to determine the amount of the effect in the study. In this study, by mentioning the concept of effect size, the main effect size indices used according to research types are introduced. In addition, the calculation methods of the effect size indices commonly used for continuous and categorical outcome variables were given and interpreted with scenarios from the field of veterinary medicine. In conclusion, in order to be able to interpret the results of a study in clinical or practical terms, to present the analyzed data in more detail than the p-value, and to ensure its use in power analysis, it was suggested that researchers report effect size in their studies.
