A half-time report from an unprecedented audit of the oceans has discovered hordes of unusual creatures and new data on better-known species, forcing scientists to rethink their ideas about the world's marine life. Among the new organisms to be identified are tiny carnivorous sea sponges that engulf passing prey and single-celled animals that protect themselves by building football-like shells....

The clinical presentation and management of spontaneous rupture of the middle third of the oesophagus is described in two patients.
