According to the fundamental structure of the bronchial ramification of the mammalian lung proposed by the present author [5, 6], the lung of the striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleo-albus) consists of the cranial and caudal lobes on either side. Both lobes are united to form a single one. The middle and accessory lobe bronchioles are lacking on either side.

In tissues of toothed whales from the Adriatic Sea (muscle, liver, kidney, lung, spleen, adipose tissue and skin) the concentrations of cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and arsenic (As) were analysed. In total, 186 dolphins were analysed; 155 bottlenose (Tursiops truncatus), 25 striped (Stenella coeruleoalba) and 6 Risso's dolphins (Grampus griseus). Cadmium concentrations in tissue samples ranged from 0.

Article Synopsis
- - RNA-Puzzles is a collaborative project focused on improving the prediction of RNA three-dimensional structures, with predictions made by modeling groups before experimental structures are published.
- - A significant set of predictions was made by 18 groups for 23 different RNA structures, including various elements like ribozymes and aptamers.
- - The study highlights key challenges in RNA modeling, such as identifying helix pairs and ensuring proper stacking, and notes that some top-performing groups also excelled in a separate competition (CASP15).
Long-term trends (2002-2016) reveal an increase of mercury levels along with the decline of several metal elements in striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) stranded in the North-West Mediterranean.

The determination of 18 metals and metalloids was realized in 4 tissues of 62 Stenella coeruleoalba specimens stranded along the French Mediterranean coastline from 2010 to 2016. While most concentrations were comparable to mean worldwide levels, Hg levels were alarming (1190 μg g dw, in average). The results were discussed together with previous measurements in the same area, from 2002 to 2009.

This paper reports a rare case of extralobar pulmonary sequestration in the posterior mediastinum of a neonate with arterial supply from the pulmonary artery. A 3-day-old male neonate was diagnosed with type II congenital pulmonary airway malformation after prenatal color Doppler ultrasonography showed a lesion with blood supply from the pulmonary artery in the left lung. Post-birth chest computed tomography(CT) showed that the lesion was located in the posterior mediastinum with low density change, mild stripe enhancement after contrast, and no obvious blood supply vessels.

Article Synopsis
- Thoracostomy and chest tube placement are essential procedures for managing pleural diseases caused by fluid or air buildup in the pleural cavity, with historic methods evolving significantly since Hippocrates.
- The development of closed drainage systems in the 19th century and advancements in materials, such as plastic and the Heimlich valve, have improved chest tube designs and functionality.
- Modern techniques include various tube designs, digital monitoring systems, and the use of pleurodesis to prevent complications, ensuring that chest tube insertion continues to play a vital role in treating pleural conditions effectively.
