Predicting marine habitat for marbled murrelets during breeding and nonbreeding seasons in the Salish Sea, British Columbia, Canada.

The marbled murrelet (Brachyramphus marmoratus) is a small seabird inhabiting coastal regions along the Pacific coast of North America, and nests in old-growth forests usually within 80 km from shore. The Canadian population of marbled murrelets is listed as Threatened under the federal Species at Risk Act. To investigate the species' marine distribution, we conducted analyses of the occurrence of marbled murrelets at-sea between 2000 and 2022, utilizing at-sea and marine shoreline surveys in the Canadian portion of the Salish Sea.

Novel therapeutic agents for cardiometabolic risk mitigation in heart transplant recipients.

Heart transplant (HT) recipients experience high rates of cardiometabolic disease. Novel therapies targeting hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and obesity, including proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin inhibitors, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, and glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists, are increasingly used for cardiometabolic risk mitigation in the general population. However, limited data exist to support the use of these agents in patients who have undergone heart transplantation.

Revisiting Biomarkers of Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy: Addressing the Achilles Heel of Heart Transplantation.

Nearly half of heart transplant recipients will be diagnosed with cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) within five years after transplantation. Advanced CAV can lead to worsening heart failure as well as arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. The only curative therapy for end-stage CAV is re-transplantation.

Kidney failure amongst Irish Travellers.

Background: The occurrence of Kidney Failure with Replacement Therapy (KFRT) amongst Irish Travellers has not been well described. This study aims to determine the burden of KFRT amongst the Irish Traveller population and identify determinants of health amongst this cohort which may differ from the general population in Ireland.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included self-identifying Irish Travellers with KFRT registered in the National Kidney Disease Clinical Patient Management System between 1995 and 2022.

Spontaneous Lesions of Endangered Geriatric Julia Creek Dunnarts (, Archer 1979) with Emphasis in Reproductive Pathology.

Julia Creek dunnarts are an endangered species of carnivorous marsupials and the focus of multiple conservation strategies involving significant resources such as captive breeding programs. Despite the relevance for conservation, no study to date has focused on evaluating geriatric diseases in dunnarts. This study describes the pathology findings in a group of one wild and thirty-five captive-born, mostly geriatric Julia Creek dunnarts that failed to produce offspring over multiple breeding periods.
