“…NARs can develop diseases known from other vertebrate groups, such as mammals or birds 41,74 . Pathological findings in the skeletal system are common, and reports are consistent in mentioning metabolic diseases as a major cause of osseous alterations 41,75 . 90% of orthopaedic cases in NAR veterinary medicine are related to trauma or metabolic disease 41,75 .…”

Traditional palaeontological techniques of disease characterisation are limited to the analysis of osseous fossils, requiring several lines of evidence to support diagnoses. This study presents a novel stepwise concept for comprehensive diagnosis of pathologies in fossils by computed tomography imaging for morphological assessment combined with likelihood estimation based on systematic phylogenetic disease bracketing. This approach was applied to characterise pathologies of the left fibula and fused caudal vertebrae of the non-avian dinosaur Tyrannosaurus rex. Initial morphological assessment narrowed the differential diagnosis to neoplasia or infection. Subsequent data review from phylogenetically closely related species at the clade level revealed neoplasia rates as low as 3.1% and 1.8%, while infectious-disease rates were 32.0% and 53.9% in extant dinosaurs (birds) and non-avian reptiles, respectively. Furthermore, the survey of literature revealed that within the phylogenetic disease bracket the oldest case of bone infection (osteomyelitis) was identified in the mandible of a 275-million-year-old captorhinid eureptile Labidosaurus. These findings demonstrate low probability of a neoplastic aetiology of the examined pathologies in the Tyrannosaurus rex and in turn, suggest that they correspond to multiple foci of osteomyelitis.

Knowledge of tortoise husbandry and welfare has come on by leaps and bounds in the past few years and nurses can now achieve much more in the education of clients in practice. The aim of this article is to provide and encourage implementation of a basic knowledge of tortoise husbandry. Common problems associated with poor husbandry will be included to enable the nurse to promote the welfare of these challenging patients.
