Analysis of an 83-year-old male presenting with diarrhoea showed secretory diarrhoea. serum levels of gastrin and pancreatic polypeptide were elevated. Somatostatin-receptor scintigraphy revealed a hot spot in the left thoracic wall and subsequently, breast adenocarcinoma with neuroendocrine differentiation was diagnosed. Postoperatively, the patient made an uneventful recovery. The relationship between the clinical picture, the results of pathological examination and hormonal analysis is discussed and put into perspective.

Department of Population Medicine, University of Guelph, Guelph, ON, Canada. Electronic address:
The objective of this randomized clinical trial was to assess whether early intervention with a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) following a disease alert generated by automated milk feeders could reduce diarrhea severity and improve performance in dairy calves. Seventy-one Holstein calves were enrolled on an automated milk feeder (recorded milk intake and drinking speed) at 3 d of age and received up to 15 L/d (150 g/L) of milk replacer until 35 d of age. An alert that was previously validated as diagnostically accurate to identify calves at risk for diarrhea was used using automated milk feeder data (≤60% rolling dividends in milk intake and/or drinking speed over 2 d).
