AbstractA free-swimming thornback ray Raja clavata specimen demonstrating significant morphological abnormality is reported, captured by beam trawl in the Irish Sea off north Wales, UK. The anterior sections of both pectoral fins were separated from the head section for a length of approximately 140 mm extending from the rostrum tip to a point posterior of the spiracles, along with abnormal morphology of the gill slits. This phenomenon has been observed elsewhere but is the first documented example of this abnormality in the eastern Irish Sea, despite widespread targeting of the species across the region by commercial and recreational fishers. Possible causes and consequences of the observed abnormality are discussed.

Absent ductus venosus (ADV) is a rare vascular anomaly. We describe a fetus/neonate with ADV with a partial liver defect. A 41-year-old woman was referred to our institute because of fetal cardiomegaly detected by routine prenatal ultrasound, which revealed absence of ductus venosus with an umbilical vein directly draining into the right atrium, consistent with extrahepatic drainage type of ADV. She vaginally gave birth to a 3,096-gram male infant at 38 weeks of gestation. Detailed ultrasound examination revealed a defect of the hepatic rectangular leaf at half a month postnatally. He showed normal development at 1.5 years of age with the liver abnormality and a Morgagni hernia. Liver morphological abnormality should also be considered as a complication of ADV.

1. The determination of aldosterone-18-glucuronide (pH 1-labile aldosterone) was complemented by concomitant measurements of free urinary aldosterone and tetrahydroaldosterone in 307 patients, most of whom were hypertensive. In 38 cases (12·3%) the normal, aldosterone-18-glucuronide concentration was clinically misleading, but increased free aldosterone and/or tetrahydroaldosterone values suggested the presence of hyperaldosteronism, which in many of these cases was confirmed by elevated excretion of the possible major aldosterone precursor 18-hydroxycorticosterone (18-OH-B). 2. Of 224 patients with essential hypertension and normal or low plasma renin activity 18 had an elevated free aldosterone and/or tetrahydroaldosterone excretion without increased aldosterone-18-glucuronide. These cases may represent early or pre-symptomatic forms of primary hyperaldosteronism. In other cases, particularly when tetrahydroaldosterone was increased alone, abnormalities of aldosterone metabolism were suspected. 3. In two out of 15 patients with primary hyperaldosteronism, aldosterone-18-glucuronide values were frequently found to be normal, although elevations were noted in other variables. However, no relation to the morphological abnormality (adenoma versus hyperplasia) was seen.
