In birds, unlike mammals, there is no complete separation between the thoracic and abdominal cavities. Instead, they have the coelomic cavity where most main organs are found. Therefore, an adequate knowledge of the anatomy of the coelomic cavity is of great importance for veterinarians, biologists and the scientific community. This study aimed to evaluate the coelomic cavity anatomy in the Atlantic puffin () using anatomical sections and computed tomography images.

Metastasizing dysgerminoma in an inland bearded dragon (Pogona vitticeps).
BMC Vet Res
December 2024
Clinical Unit for Diagnostic Imaging, University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna, Austria.
Background: Malignant dysgerminomas are infrequently reported ovarian neoplasms in animals, especially in exotic pets (non-traditional companion animals [NTCAs]). In the few published case reports on reptilian species, examples are primarily postmortem without antemortem (clinical) assessment.
Patient Presentation: An adult, 13-year-old, spayed female inland bearded dragon (Pogona vitticeps) presented with lethargy, a right-sided head tilt, unilateral exophthalmos and ventrotemporal strabismus on the right eye.

Article Synopsis
- All major arthropod groups have excretory glands believed to be an ancestral trait, but the presence of these organs in pycnogonids (a type of ancient aquatic chelicerate) was uncertain, particularly due to limited anatomical research.
- This study investigated four nymphonids using advanced microscopy techniques and found that all species possess distinct excretory organs, detailing their structure and various components.
- Additionally, the research traced the development of these organs, revealing their anatomical location in the appendages, and suggests that the structure of the sacculus may have evolved secondarily, though its exact classification compared to other arthropods remains ambiguous.

In the human this function is considered largely vestigial, in part because the secondary yolk sac never makes contact with the inner surface of the chorionic sac. Instead, it is separated from the chorion by the fluid-filled extra-embryonic coelom and attached to the developing embryo by a relatively long vitelline duct.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the unique structure and development of unpaired ovaries in the genus Achaeta, a type of aquatic clitellate worm known as microdriles, which are small and found in various segments of their bodies.
- It describes the formation of germ-line cysts within the ovary that house developing oocytes and their nurse cells, which provide nutrients and support for the maturing oocyte.
- The findings suggest that despite some morphological differences, the ovary organization and oogenesis in Achaeta align with patterns observed in other enchytraeid species, indicating a shared evolutionary trait.
