The Bullmastiff is a giant breed of dog, and there is evidence the breed is predisposed to cancer and musculoskeletal disorders, though the disease investigation of the breed is limited. This study reports on the demography, longevity and mortality of Bullmastiffs attending veterinary practices in Australia over a ten-year period. VetCompass Australia collects patient data from veterinary practices across Australia for epidemiological analysis.

- Thyroid disorders are common and can lead to significant psychiatric symptoms that resemble bipolar disorders (BDs), which, while less frequent, have considerable global impact and healthcare costs.
- Research indicates that imbalances in thyroid hormones may contribute to the development of BDs, but there is still much to learn about this relationship.
- This review investigates the connections between thyroid disorders and BDs, looking at neurochemical interactions, the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis, and genetic influences, highlighting the need for targeted therapies that address both conditions' shared mechanisms.
Article Synopsis
- Indigenous kids in Australia often have ear problems that can lead to bad hearing.
- A study looked at 253 Indigenous children from 5 to 18 years old to see how their ear health affected their hearing over 3 years.
- The results showed that kids with healthy ears had much better hearing than those with ear issues, meaning help is needed to fix these problems to keep their hearing from getting worse.
