Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint
Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),

Prevalence of Gastrointestinal Parasitic Infections in Captive Snakes, Bangladesh
This study documented gastrointestinal parasitic infections in captive venomous and non‐venomous snakes in Bangladesh for the first time, finding an overall prevalence of 39.1%, with helminths more common than protozoa. Non‐venomous snakes and juveniles were most susceptible, while controlled terrarium housing reduced risk, highlighting the need for ...

Summary This case report describes a 10‐year‐old, male, neutered labrador retriever that was presented with acute non‐ambulatory tetraparesis, later diagnosed with an ectopic insulinoma and paraneoplastic polyneuropathy. Clinical evaluation revealed severe hypoglycaemia, generalised neuromuscular signs and electromyography findings were consistent with

Snake Venom Protease Detection and Inhibition in Serum
A fluorescence assay enables sensitive detection of the activities of snake venom metalloproteases (SVMP) and serine proteases (SVSP) from viper venoms in buffer and serum. In combination with effective low‐molecular‐weight inhibitors such as ilomastat and nafamostat, this approach offers new prospects for the rapid diagnosis and adjunctive therapy of ...
