Article Abstract

In this paper, we present quantitative data on how the social network and sex of infants influence allomothering behaviour among wild Formosan macaques, Macaca cyclopis. Using long-term field data collected from the Mount Longevity study site in Kaohsiung (Taiwan), we have tested relevant hypotheses incorporating data on age, rank and reproductive state of infant handlers, and the relationship between handlers and infants. The results support 2 major hypotheses, i.e. those of reciprocity and alliance formation. Nevertheless, neither could account for the observed occurrences of unrelated infant handling by dominant females.

This case report elucidates the diagnostic trajectory of a female newborn, presenting with apparent clitoromegaly, ultimately diagnosed with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). The patient was born in a prominent obstetrics and gynecology center in Tbilisi, Georgia, where the anomaly was promptly identified following a physiologically normal pregnancy and labor. Despite the relative infrequency of such cases in our center, particularly among term infants, the handling of this case was swift and successful.
