North Ignores ‘Perfect Storm’ in Global South
By Jomo Kwame SundaramKATHMANDU, Nepal, Feb 14 2024 (IPS) A gathering ‘perfect storm’ – due to various developments, several quite deliberate – now threatens much devastation in the global South, likely to most hurt the poorest and most vulnerable.

Rat poison threatens Italy ’s growing wolf population
Over the past few decades, Italy’s growing population of wolves has begun to edge closer to urban areas, attracted in part by tasty prey such as rats and mice. But a recent study suggests city life carries a potentially deadly risk for the predators: eating rodents tainted with poison. Analyses of more than 180 wolf carcasses found in Central and Northern Italy revealed that nearly two-thirds tested positive for rodenticides, suggesting the chemicals pose a bigger threat to wolves than previously understood.
“The results were totally unexpected,” says ecologist Jacopo Cerri of the University of Sassari, an auth...

What is the Differential Diagnosis of a Suprarenal Mass?
Discussion
Suprarenal masses (SRM) are not that common (incidence of 1.9/1000 in neonates), but are more commonly diagnosed prenatally because of prenatal ultrasound. Masses can be difficult to accurately diagnose even after birth because their features overlap. Radiographically they can be variable in size, cystic/solid or mixed and with or without calcifications. Common signs and symptoms of SRM include anemia, jaundice, scrotal hematoma and abdominal mass. Signs of asphyxia may also occur. Often patients whose diagnosis is not clear are monitored closely for a few weeks to see how the lesion changes with time. This is e...
