Recent developments in microscopic and molecular tools have allowed the implementation of new approaches for assessing parasitic infections in wildlife populations. This is particularly important for the noninvasive detection and quantification of endoparasites in live animals. Here, we combined copromicroscopic (Mini-FLOTAC) and molecular (qPCR) techniques to detect the infection of the macroparasite (Cestoda, Pseudophyllidea) in fresh droppings of Gull-billed Terns (Charadriiformes, Laridae) breeding in southwestern Spain.

It can be classified into two categories, conductive and sensorineural, though both conditions may coexist. Various causes may be responsible for hearing loss including congenital, infectious, inflammatory and neoplastic.

- Alterations in the basilar artery (BA) anatomy may be linked to Fabry disease (FD), but their clinical significance is unclear due to a lack of data on their impact on patient outcomes.
- A study involving brain MRIs of 53 FD subjects assessed the BA diameter and tortuosity index but found no significant correlations with clinical or imaging data.
- The stability of BA metrics over a 2-year follow-up period indicates that these vessel changes do not predict patient clinical status, suggesting a need to reevaluate their role in the context of FD.
