Nocardia spp are ubiquitous, gram-positive, variably acid-fast, branching and beaded filamentous, facultative intracellular bacteria that are resistant to phagocytosis and can cause localized or systemic disease in a variety of mammals, including humans, as well as in birds, fish and reptiles. Seventeen pet domestic ferrets (Mustela putorius furo) were diagnosed with nocardiosis by several methods including cytological evaluation, histopathology, Ziehl-Neelsen staining and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). All except two ferrets were 2 years old or older at the time of clinical presentation.

Methods: In this retrospective multicentre nationwide cohort, we included patients newly diagnosed with aPAP between 2008 and 2018 in France and Belgium.
Background: Systemic sclerosis-related interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) represents a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in Systemic Sclerosis (SSc). Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is currently the first line treatment for SSc-ILD. There is no recommendation on the dosage of mycophenolic acid (MPA) blood concentrations, so we aimed to study the correlation between MPA exposure and respiratory outcomes in this population.

- * The study analyzed the fatty acid composition in the eyes of Arabian sheep and camels, finding that the retina had the highest levels of DHA and AA, with notable differences between the two species.
- * The research suggests that using ocular tissues from agri-food waste could be a sustainable method to produce beneficial fatty acids, impacting nutrition and healthcare.
