Bikini Atoll coral biodiversity resilience five decades after nuclear testing.

Five decades after a series of nuclear tests began, we provide evidence that 70% of the Bikini Atoll zooxanthellate coral assemblage is resilient to large-scale anthropogenic disturbance. Species composition in 2002 was assessed and compared to that seen prior to nuclear testing. A total of 183 scleractinian coral species was recorded, compared to 126 species recorded in the previous study (exc...

The 'bikini lip reduction': A detailed approach to hypertrophic lips.

Excessively large lips represent an occasional but significant challenge in aesthetic surgery. Previously described techniques focus largely on the simple excision of a strip of tissue to reduce the lips, without specific attention to the resultant lip contour or to the volume relationship between the lips. The present paper describes a new technique for lip reduction, called the 'bikini lip re...
