The anatomical and histological structure of the trophosome of the giant vestimentiferan Riftiapachyptila has been studied. The trophosome consists of longitudinally oriented cords. The cords of the trophosome intertwine, form diverticula and anastomose with each other. Each cord has an axial blood vessel inside, which is connected to afferent vessels on the surface of the cord by radial capillaries. Based on the data on the structure and development of the trophosome, it is suggested that the evolutionary precursor of the trophosome was a blood network connecting the ventral and dorsal vessels. The cells of the coelomic lining on the surface of the vessels grew and gave rise to the parenchymal tissue of the trophosome. At the same time, the trophosome developed from two sources, namely: due to the coelomic lining on the surface of the vessels of the intestinal plexus and due to the coelomic lining on the surface of the vessels of the circulatory plexus of the body wall.

A Dark Horse: Colonial System of Integration in Ctenostome Bryozoans (Gymnolaemata: Ctenostomata).

Department of Invertebrate Zoology, Saint Petersburg State University, Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation.
The colonial system of integration (CSI) provides intracolonial nutrient supply in many gymnolaemate bryozoans. In Ctenostomata, its presence is known for species with stolonal colonies, for example, vesicularioideans, but its structure is almost unexplored. The CSI is thought to be absent in alcyonidioideans and other ctenostomes.

Following an episode of sudden lethargy, an 18-month-old female black-capped parrot (Pionites melanocephalus) died while being examined. On gross examination, there was fluid within the coelom, hepatomegaly with yellow colouration and the heart appeared enlarged with pallor throughout the myocardium. On histological examination, cardiomyocytes were swollen with loss of cross striations and contained 6-12-μm diameter intrasarcoplasmic pale grey inclusions of storage material.

Article Synopsis
- Cockatiels are popular pet birds that often need veterinary care, making it important to understand their digestive system for better treatment.
- This study involved dissecting six cockatiels to analyze and measure their digestive tract, revealing variability in size and specific structural features.
- Key findings included the structure of the oesophagus, stomach, and intestines, along with histological traits that showed similarities to other birds but also unique species-specific characteristics.
Polycystic ovarian disease in aquarium-managed cownose rays Rhinoptera bonasus.

Significant knowledge gaps remain in our understanding of the reproductive physiology and diseases of elasmobranchs. The objective of this work is to describe the clinical, imaging, and pathologic findings associated with polycystic ovaries in cownose rays housed in public aquariums. Ten adult female cownose rays Rhinoptera bonasus housed in 4 public aquariums presented with variable nonspecific (lethargy, anorexia, cutaneous discoloration) or no clinical signs.

Mucinous adenocarcinomas of the upper urinary tract are extremely rare, and the majority of information available comes from case reports or short case series. Intestinal metaplasia is considered a premalignant condition in carcinogenesis. Here we present a case of a 55-year-old male who presented with a left flank mass extending to the left hemiabdomen and macroscopic hematuria.
