Early stages of tooth development in the harbor porpoise Phocoena phocoena
Abstract Here we describe the stages of tooth development in toothed whales on the basis of the harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena). The aim of the study was to find out whether these stages are identical to those of other mammals analyzed so far although toothed whales are homodont and monophyodont.

Inter-observer variability for cardiac ultrasound measurements in cats repeated at different time points in early adult life [PDF]
A high degree of accuracy is required when using echocardiography to diagnose hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in cats, as variation in measurements of 0.5 mm may affect classification of individuals as ‘abnormal’.

ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Experimental papillary muscle infarction
Summary The concept of papillary muscle dysfunction has been evaluated in dogs. The papillary muscle was infarcted without altering the other components of the mitral valve mechanism, and the animals were evaluated at varying intervals by auscultation, cardiac catheterization, cineangiography, and autopsy.
