Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitides (AAV) represent a heterogeneous multisystem group of disorders typified by necrotising inflammation of smaller blood vessels, classically yielding a pauci-immune, crescentic glomerulonephritis. Without prompt treatment, there is a significant risk of irreversible damage and ensuing renal impairment.Diagnosis is often challenging, exacerbated by the disorder's often vague and insidious presentation.

Background Orthodontic treatment, while primarily focusing on correcting dental alignment and occlusion, has been increasingly validated for its potential impact on broader aspects of oral health and general well-being: its potential influence on body weight. While the mechanical effects of orthodontic appliances are well documented in the literature, their potential behavioral impact on weight loss remains underexplored. Beyond its primary role in correcting dental alignment, our study has unveiled a lesser-known benefit: its potential to aid in weight reduction among individuals who have already struggled through conventional methods.

Bird nests of coastal or inland breeding birds can temporarily flood during high tides or storms. However, respiratory physiological disruption of such water submersion and implications for post-submergence survival are poorly understood. We hypothesized that respiratory physiological disturbances caused by submersion would be rapidly corrected following return to normal gas exchange across the eggshell, thus explaining survival of nest inundation in the field.
