Apex predators exploit advantageous snow conditions across hunting modes

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Advantageous snow conditions—in terms of snow depth and density—are among the most important features of the winter landscape for two apex predators, regardless of hunting strategy. In a warming climate, the knock‐on effects of a diminishing snowpack may reduce the hunting success of multiple large carnivore species.

Prey Partitioning in a Diverse Carnivore Community: Implications for Reintroduced Fishers in Washington

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Using fecal DNA metabarcoding, we quantified dietary overlap among reintroduced fishers and sympatric coyotes, bobcats, and Pacific martens in Washington's North Cascades. Niche overlap was substantial for common prey but varied with body size, revealing fine‐scale resource partitioning that may limit fishers' access to energetically efficient prey ...

The Relationship Between Severity of Apical Periodontitis and Next‐Generation Systemic Inflammatory Biomarkers

open access: yesAustralian Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Apical periodontitis (AP) is an endodontic infection that may persist asymptomatically and be reflected in systemic inflammatory status. This study aimed to evaluate the association between radiographic severity of AP and next‐generation systemic inflammatory biomarkers in systemically healthy adults.

Impact of episiotomy on anal incontinence following second‐ to fourth‐degree perineal tears—A cohort study

open access: yesActa Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
In over 12 000 Swedish primiparous women, anal incontinence was more common after severe perineal tears. Episiotomy did not raise the overall risk except for a slight increase in gas incontinence after second‐degree tears. Encouragingly, symptoms improved across all types of tears during the first‐year postpartum.

Self‐reported pelvic floor dysfunction 12 months after an obstetric anal sphincter injury in relation to maternal body mass index

open access: yesActa Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Self‐reported dyspareunia one year after an obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASI) is less common among overweight and obese women than in normal weight. The risk for anal incontinence does not differ between the BMI groups one year after an OASI, while the risk for UI increases with increasing BMI.

Ultrasound, PET/CT or temporal artery biopsy for giant cell arteritis? A prospective diagnostic accuracy study (the GAME‐study)

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To investigate the diagnostic performance of ultrasound, 2‐deoxy‐2‐[18F]fluoro‐D‐glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (2‐[18F]FDG PET/CT) and temporal artery biopsy (TAB) in giant cell arteritis (GCA). Methods This was a prospective single‐centre diagnostic accuracy study (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05248906).

Probable sepsis‐associated encephalopathy as a component of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome in a cat with pyothorax

open access: yesAustralian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
A 2‐year‐old male neutered domestic shorthair cat with bacterial pyothorax was referred to a tertiary hospital for treatment of sepsis. He met criteria for multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and developed new‐onset neurological dysfunction subsequent to the development of sepsis.

Melioidosis in companion animals: Analysis of 45 Australian cases (24 dogs; 21 cats) from 1997 to 2025 and a brief review of the animal and human literature

open access: yesAustralian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Objective To report 45 cases of melioidosis in dogs and cats from northern Australia and analyse trends in epidemiology, clinical presentation, pathogenesis and response to treatment over a 27‐year period. Design Retrospective and prospective analysis of clinical records.

A new branch of mammalian vitamin B6 metabolism: AKR1C‐mediated conversion of pyridoxal to pyridoxine and 4‐pyridoxolactone

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Pyridoxal 5′‐phosphate (PLP) homeostasis relies on salvage enzymes, yet key metabolic branches remain undefined. We identify AKR1C isozymes as previously undescribed contributors that convert pyridoxal into pyridoxine or 4‐pyridoxolactone through reductase and dehydrogenase activities.

The association between inflammatory markers in routine blood counts at 1 year and attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): A case–control study

open access: yesJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background Attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a chronic neurodevelopmental disorder marked by persistent patterns of inattention, disorganization, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Increasing evidence implicates immune‐inflammatory processes in its etiology, with observed associations between ADHD and infectious diseases, allergic ...
