Rostrum abnormalities in the endangered Indian Ocean humpback dolphin (Sousa plumbea) in South Africa.

Morphological abnormalities in wild animals can be indicators of the underlying health of a population and may be determined through routine photographic surveys. Here, we assess unusual rostrum conditions in Indian Ocean humpback dolphins (Sousa plumbea) inhabiting South African coastal waters to understand the rate of prevalence of abnormal rostrums and formulate hypotheses on potential causes. Photographic data were collated from systematic boat surveys and opportunistic sightings, obtained between April 1998 and March 2021 in various regions along the South African coast.

Vocal correlates of arousal in bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops spp.) in human care.

Human-controlled regimes can entrain behavioural responses and may impact animal welfare. Therefore, understanding the influence of schedules on animal behaviour can be a valuable tool to improve welfare, however information on behaviour overnight and in the absence of husbandry staff remains rare. Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops spp.

A Phase I Trial of Intravesical Cabazitaxel, Gemcitabine and Cisplatin for the Treatment of Nonmuscle Invasive bacillus Calmette-Guérin Unresponsive or Recurrent/Relapsing Urothelial Carcinoma of the Bladder.

Purpose: For patients with bacillus Calmette-Guérin unresponsive or recurrent/relapsing nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer, multi-agent intravesical trials have been limited. In this study we investigate the safety of intravesical cabazitaxel, gemcitabine and cisplatin in the salvage setting.

Materials And Methods: This was a dose escalation, drug escalation trial for patients with bacillus Calmette-Guérin unresponsive or recurrent/relapsing nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer who declined or were ineligible for radical cystectomy.

Methyldopa-induced autoimmune haemolytic anaemia revisited.

Drug-induced haemolytic anaemia is a commonly encountered clinical situation. Methyldopa-induced haemolytic anaemia, once the most common cause of drug induced haemolysis, is now rarely seen due to decline in its use. We report a case of methyldopa induced immune haemolytic anaemia in a young woman where the diagnosis was initially missed.
