Using line acceleration to measure false killer whale (Pseudorca crassidens) click and whistle source levels during pelagic longline depredation.

False killer whales (Pseudorca crassidens) depredate pelagic longlines in offshore Hawaiian waters. On January 28, 2015 a depredation event was recorded 14 m from an integrated GoPro camera, hydrophone, and accelerometer, revealing that false killer whales depredate bait and generate clicks and whistles under good visibility conditions. The act of plucking bait off a hook generated a distinctive 15 Hz line vibration.

Severity of mastalgia in relation to milk duct dilatation.

Objective: The etiology of mastalgia is poorly understood. Histology cannot detect any distinct characteristics. This investigation therefore applied ultrasonography to mastalgia patients to investigate morphological structures and to obtain further insights into the pathophysiology of mastalgia.
