BACKGROUND Molecular clock estimates of crown strepsirhine origins generally advocate an ancient antiquity for Malagasy lemuriforms and Afro-Asian lorisiforms, near the onset of the Tertiary but most often extending back to the Late Cretaceous. Despite their inferred early origin, the subsequent evolutionary histories of both groups (except for the Malagasy aye-aye lineage) exhibit a vacuum of ...

Neanderthals were a group of archaic hominins that occupied most of Europe and parts of Western Asia from ∼30,000 to 300,000 years ago (KYA). They coexisted with modern humans during part of this time. Previous genetic analyses that compared a draft sequence of the Neanderthal genome with genomes of several modern humans concluded that Neanderthals made a small (1-4%) contribution to the gene p...

BACKGROUND Obesity prevalence has risen in fifty years. While people generally expect media mentions of health risks like obesity prevalence to follow health risk trends, food consumption trends may precede obesity prevalence trends. Therefore, this research investigates whether media mentions of food predate obesity prevalence. METHODS Fifty years of non-advertising articles in the New York ...

Background: The induction of labor (IOL) is a common obstetric intervention, steadily increasing (one out four pregnancies) in the last years. This procedure should be considered only when there medical indication, and benefits outweigh maternal and/or fetal risks waiting for spontaneous onset labor. Therefore, this study aims to compare efficacy IOL terms delivery time, mode delivery, neonatal...

We discuss the important role of tangential stretching in Central Alps highlighting that are a truly three-dimensional orogen. A review pressure-temperature (P-T) conditions allows us to define three major breaks metamorphic pressure (P-breaks) across nappe pile. constrain kinematics mylonites associated with these P-breaks and report eight new RbSr multi-mineral isochrons age mylonites. Kinema...

In 1908, a massive explosion known as the Tunguska Event (TE) occurred in Central Siberia. However, its origin remains widely discussed and environmental impacts are not detail. We investigated evidence of TE sediments Suzdalevo Lake, which is located near epicenter. According to local nomads (Evenkis), Lake did exist before was considered possible impact-origin water body. apart from oral test...

Abstract Introduction : There is currently no consensus on the management of large fetuses in order to minimize fetal complications. The aim this study was assess whether antenatal recognition large-for-gestational age (LGA) reduced poor obstetric newborn outcomes a hospital where expectant used. Material and methods A retrospective cohort made two delivery units at Karolinska University Hospit...

Lower Jurassic sedimentary successions in the Atlantic margin basins include several organic-rich intervals, some with source rock potential; time-equivalent units are also identified on- and offshore areas worldwide. Despite decades of research, it is still unclear which mechanisms lead to deposition sediments during Early Jurassic. The objectives this study construct a detailed temporal geogr...
