FERNl Glasgow Summary The penetration of prednisolone acetate (1%) and fluorometholone alcohol (0.1%) into human aqueous humour following topical application was determined using the very sensitive and specific technique of Gas Chromatography with Mass Spec­ trometry (GCMS). Prednisolone acetate afforded peak mean concentrations of 669.9 ng/ml within two hours and levels of 28.6 ng/ml in aqueous humour were detected almost 24 hours post application. The peak aqueous humour level of flu­ orometholone was S.lng/ml. The results are compared and contrasted with the absorption of dexamethasone alcohol (0.1%), betamethasone sodium phosphate (0.1 %) and prednisolone sodium phosphate (0.5%) into human aqueous humour. Topical corticosteroid preparations have been prednisolone acetate (1.0%) and fluorometh­ used widely in ophthalmology since the early alone alcohol (0.1 %) (preliminary results) 1960s and over the last 10 years the choice of into the aqueous humour of patients under­ preparations has become larger and more going elective cataract surgery. varied.

  • Feline Eosinophilic Keratoconjunctivitis: Nonsteroidal Vs Corticosteroid Topical Treatment
    Acta Scientiae Veterinariae, 2021. 49(Suppl 1): 608. CASE REPORT ISSN 1679-9216 Pub. 608 Feline Eosinophilic Keratoconjunctivitis: Nonsteroidal vs Corticosteroid Topical Treatment Gabrielly da Costa Gomes Rodrigues1, Ana Maria Tatoni Pereira Coelho1, João Pedro Brochado Souza2, Joyce Maira de Araújo1, Márcio Virgílio Figueiredo da Silva1, Polyana Mayume Pereira da Silva3 & Gabriel Utida Eguchi1 ABSTRACT Background: Feline eosinophilic keratoconjunctivitis is a proliferative eye lesion of chronic aspect with usually unilateral presentation that may initiate as a superficial vascularization that evolves to a proliferative, granular, irregular lesion of whitish-pink aspect. With its association with an immune-mediated response, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories do not appear to be efficient, although few studies describe its use. This case report describes a case of a feline eosinophilic kera- toconjunctivitis with its clinical evolution since the use of nonsteroidal topical anti-inflammatory drug in an undiagnosed patient and the transition to a topical corticosteroid and cure after 14 days since diagnosis. Case: An 8-year-old female cat was attended at the Veterinary Hospital of the Dom Bosco Catholic University (UCDB), with main complaint being an eye injury with at least 36 days of evolution and unresponsive to treatment (topical tobra- mycin 0.3% every 12 h / ketorolac trometamol 0.5%/ every 12 h and ophthalmic lubricant/every 4 h). Since the patient had free access to the street, the owners suspected of trauma-induced lesion. At physical examination, it was observed a proliferative lesion at the peri-limbal superotemporal quadrant of the right cornea with approximately 0.4 cm diameter, with color varying of pale to pink, with irregular surface and low vascularity, the adjacent conjunctiva was also affected with similar multiple nodular lesions (0.1 cm).
