Periods of rest and sleep help us find hidden solutions to new problems and infer unobserved relationships between discrete events. However, the mechanisms that formulate these new, adaptive behavioural strategies remain unclear. One possibility is that memory reactivation during periods of rest and sleep has the capacity to generate new knowledge that extends beyond direct experience.

- The black skimmer is a threatened seabird in Florida facing various conservation challenges, including habitat loss and severe weather, which were observed during nest monitoring between 2020 and 2022.
- Juvenile skimmers exhibited serious health issues like polyarthritis, often linked to penetrating sandspurs causing skin and joint infections, with many birds in poor nutritional state and dehydrated.
- Research findings indicate a connection between skin damage from sandspurs and subsequent joint infections, suggesting that additional evaluations and management practices are needed to improve the health of these birds.
Pneumocoelom secondary to primary pulmonary disease was diagnosed via CT (three cases) or radiographs and coelioscopy (one case) in one Kemp's ridley () and three loggerhead () sea turtles. All cases were suspected to be caused by trauma to the lung, and all exhibited positive buoyancy disorders. Coelomocentesis alone was ineffective at resolving each pneumocoelom, suggesting a large and persistent tear in the pulmonary parenchyma.

- Trichomonas gypaetinii was found in 88% of Bald Eagles sampled, indicating it is common among this species in the USA.
- No Golden Eagles tested positive for the parasite, suggesting a species-specific prevalence.
- Despite the high rate of infection in Bald Eagles, none showed any related health issues or lesions.
Background: Buprenorphine is an effective and safe treatment for opioid use disorder, but the requirement for moderate opioid withdrawal symptoms to emerge prior to initiation is a significant treatment barrier.
Case Presentation: We report on two cases of hospitalized patients with severe, active opioid use disorder, in which we initiated treatment with transdermal buprenorphine over 48 h, followed by the administration of a single dose of sublingual buprenorphine/naloxone and then extended-release subcutaneous buprenorphine. The patients did not experience precipitated withdrawal and only had mild withdrawal symptoms.
