Understanding the distribution of breeding populations of migratory animals in the non-breeding period (migratory connectivity) is important for understanding their response to environmental change. High connectivity (low non-breeding population dispersion) may lower resilience to climate change and increase vulnerability to habitat loss within their range. Very high levels of connectivity are reportedly rare, but this conclusion may be limited by methodology.

Adrenal haemorrhage in pregnancy is rare but can lead to significant maternal and foetal morbidity if unrecognised. We present the case of a 25-year-old woman in her second pregnancy, who was admitted at 34+4 weeks of gestation with severe abdominal pain. Despite initial unremarkable assessments, further imaging revealed a left adrenal haemorrhage, with evidence of prior right adrenal infarction, resulting in primary adrenal insufficiency.

Background: Evidence from preclinical studies suggests that IL-6 signalling has the potential to modulate immunopathogenic mechanisms upstream of autoantibody effector mechanisms in patients with generalised myasthenia gravis. We aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of satralizumab, a humanised monoclonal antibody targeting the IL-6 receptor, in patients with generalised myasthenia gravis.

Methods: LUMINESCE was a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre, phase 3 study at 105 sites, including hospitals and clinics, globally.
