Climate change is predicted to increase sea level and cause saline intrusion of coastal freshwaters. This will have consequences for freshwater organisms inhabiting such areas; developmental phenotypic plasticity may facilitate the persistence of freshwater species under such scenarios of increased salinity. Here we investigated developmental plasticity under different salinity treatments (S = ...

A 75-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of a poor glycemic control. She was found to have Cushingoid feature and dynamic endocrine tests showed elevated plasma ACTH and cortisol levels, lack of their circadian rhythm, non-suppressibility to high-dose dexamethasone, responsiveness to CRH, but not to DDAVP, and suppression to octreotide. Pituitary MRI showed an equivocal small le...

The incidence of postbreeding fluid accumulation is approximately 15% in a normal population of Thoroughbreds. Both the incidence and severity of intraluminal fluid accumulation increase with age. In addition, barren mares are more likely than maiden and foaling mares to accumulate fluid in the uterine lumen the day after breeding. Postbreeding fluid accumulation treated with uterine lavage or ...

We show that Y. Prokhorov’s “Simple Finite Subgroups of the Cremona Group of Rank 3” implies that, over any field of characteristic 0, the essential dimensions of the alternating group, A7, and the symmetric group, S7, are 4.
