This article presents an analysis of the formal complaints to the Swedish Veterinary Disciplinary Board (VDB) during the years 2018-2022 related to euthanasia of animals, which are highly relevant to the One Welfare approach. The aim was to examine whether the complaints were justified or not, according to the disciplinary investigations carried out, and whether animals had been exposed to unnecessary suffering during these interventions. The reasons for the complaints were investigated and categorized.

Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) facilitates utilization of marginal liver allografts. It remains unknown whether clinical benefits offset additional costs in the real-world setting. We performed a comparison of outcomes and hospitalization costs for donor livers preserved by NMP versus static cold storage (SCS) at a high-volume center.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates how genetics contributes to the differences in flower traits between two monkeyflower species that attract different pollinators, specifically looking at self-pollinated Mimulus parishii and hummingbird-pollinated M. cardinalis.
  • Researchers mapped 190 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) related to flower pigmentation, pollinator rewards, and size traits, finding significant overlap among these categories, which suggests interconnected genetic factors.
  • The findings reveal a complex genetic architecture influencing floral trait divergence, with certain traits sharing genetic connections, ultimately providing insights into how pollination syndromes evolve in plants.
