. Diagnostic Findings and Interpretation The initial physical examination and full-body ultrasound of the dolphin were unremarkable. A CBC revealed a moderate leukocytosis (13,400/µL; normal, 5,638 to 11,185/µL) characterized by a mature neutrophilia (12
T he limitations of laparoscopic surgery include the loss of tactile feedback and the inability to palpate deep parenchymal lesions, which may impair intraoperative surgical assessment. In humans, the increasing use of laparoscopic ultrasound (LUS

diagnosis of DMD upon histopathology accounts for 1% of all ocular abnormalities, and should be a differential diagnosis in patients with diffuse corneal edema. 3 , 4 The use of ultrasound in the diagnosis of ocular disease is a beneficial tool, that can
