Giants in the cold: Morphological evidence for vascular heat retention in the viscera but not the skeletal muscle of the basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fewer than 50 of the over 30,000 extant species of fishes have developed anatomical specializations facilitating endothermy in specific body regions. The plankton‐feeding basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus), traditionally classified as an ectotherm, was recently shown to have regionally endothermic traits such as centralized red muscle (RM ...

A dual pollination strategy combining perfume attraction and food deception in Galeandra blanchetii E.S. Rand (Orchidaceae)

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Galeandra blanchetii exhibits a dual‐attraction strategy: male euglossine bees are lured by floral scents as a resource, while both sexes are deceived by non‐existent nectar. Pollination only occurs when bees enter the spur to search for nectar, highlighting an evolutionary transition towards the perfume flower syndrome in Catasetinae.

Temporary caval occlusion technique during right divisional hepatectomy for massive hepatocellular carcinoma with caudal vena cava compression/involvement in dogs

Veterinary Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To describe the perioperative and long‐term outcomes of dogs with massive hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the right hepatic division causing compression or involvement of the caudal vena cava (CVC) treated with right divisional hepatectomy using temporary caval occlusion (TCO). Study design Retrospective case series.

Applying lessons from limb muscle disuse and ageing to better understand ventilator‐induced diaphragm dysfunction

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a life‐saving intervention applied to critically ill patients. A common consequence of MV is ventilator‐induced diaphragm dysfunction (VIDD), which is characterized by significant diaphragm atrophy and reduced contractile function. Older patients who receive MV are more likely to develop VIDD, have worse recovery,
