Case report: Long-term GPS tracking throughout the breeding and non-breeding seasons of the streaked shearwater Calonectris leucomelas by Taito Kamata, Masaki Shirai, Kazuhiko Hirata, Takahiro Sato, Haruka Mukai, Maki Yamamoto, Tsuneo Sekijima

“…Abstract The collection of wildlife tracking information throughout a species’ entire life cycle is important for comprehensive ecological elucidation and the establishment of practical protected areas. Although streaked shearwater (SS) is a seabird species for which biologging techniques are highly developed, there have been no reports of successful global positioning system (GPS) tracking during the early breeding and non-breeding seasons, when recapture is difficult. …”

General practitioner use of D-dimer in suspected venous thromboembolism: historical cohort study in one geographical region in the Netherlands by Angel M R Schols, Eline Meijs, Geert-Jan Dinant, Henri E J H Stoffers, Mariëlle M E Krekels, Jochen W L Cals

“…Objectives To investigate how many general practitioner (GP)-referred venous thromboembolic events (VTEs) are diagnosed during 1 year in one geographical region and to investigate the (urgent) referral pathway of VTE diagnoses, including the role of laboratory D-dimer testing.Design Historical cohort study.Setting GP patients of 47 general practices in a demarcated geographical region of 161 503 inhabitants in the Netherlands.Participants We analysed all 895 primary care patients in whom either the GP determined a D-dimer value or who had a diagnostic work-up for suspected VTE in a non-academic hospital during 2015.Primary and secondary outcome measures The primary outcomes of this study were the total number of VTEs per year and the diagnostic pathways—including the role of GP determined D-dimer testing—of patients urgently referred to secondary care for suspected VTE. …”
