Article Synopsis
- Trade is a major threat to wild bird species, often occurring secretly and lacking proper monitoring, which complicates the understanding of which species are under threat.
- The study analyzed seven global data sets to create a trade prevalence score for bird species, identifying those at high risk and validating the data through literature and surveys.
- Results showed a strong agreement among data sets regarding trade prevalence, with 45.1% of all birds and 36.7% of threatened species receiving scores of 1 or more, highlighting the high risk of certain groups like Falconiformes and Psittaciformes in trade.
Carotid complications resulting from extra-luminal migration of ingested foreign bodies (FB) are rare but potentially life-threatening. Previous data on the topic predominantly comprises isolated case reports, leaving a gap in comprehensive evidence necessary to guide clinical decision-making. In this article, we offer a narrative review alongside a novel case report, aimed at providing a broad, evidence-based perspective on the topic to guide clinical practice.
