The role of the anesthesiologist is vital in the thorough assessment of the patient for the involvement of the pyramidal tract, autonomic dysfunction, gastroparesis, hyperreactive airway disease, and documentation of neurological deficits. Intraoperative concerns include safe manipulation of the airway during mask ventilation and the use of a flexible fibreoptic bronchoscope during endotracheal intubation to prevent neck flexion. It is also essential to avoid drugs, leading to histamine release. The use of multimodal monitoring including bispectral index and neuromuscular monitoring is crucial to prevent delayed recovery.

Around 10 bacterial isolates were identified using morphological, biochemical, physiological and molecular attributes. Sequencing of the 16S rDNA gene of the isolates followed by BLAST search revealed that the strain MBT008 has 100% similarity with <i>Anoxybacilluskamchatkensis</i>. MBT012 showed 99.57% similarity with <i>A.mongoliensis</i>, MBT014 was affiliated with <i>A.tengchongensis</i> with 99.43% similarity, MBT009 showed 99.83% homology with <i>A.gonensis</i> and MBT018, 98.70% similarity with <i>A.karvacharensis</i>. The presence of all this microbial diversity in one common source is of immense importance related to envioronmental and industrial aspects in general and extraction of thermostable enzymes from these thermophiles specifically opens new horizons in the field of industrial biotechnology.

However, there is limited knowledge about the ecology and behaviour of a large number of these and many species are threatened with extinction or their conservation status is poorly known or even unknown. Although rare in zoos, there are good opportunities for zoos and museums to cooperate to ensure that when animals die, they are subjected to careful post-mortem examinations, and preserved for research into anatomy and functional morphology. In turn museum collections are rich stores of specimens that assist zoos in identification, and provide veterinarians with access to animal remains and their anatomy to facilitate treatment and surgery. New techniques, such as computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning, plus the establishment of biobanks allow new ways of capturing vital information about small carnivorans for a wide range of research, including taxonomy and systematics, archaeology and palaeontology, anatomy, pathology and conservation science. Most importantly museum collections of zoo specimens allow the impacts of captivity, such as diet and activity levels, to be investigated. However, the development of this research resource relies on closer cooperation between zoos and museums.
