Hwiccewyrm trispiculum gen. et sp. nov., a new leptopleuronine procolophonid from the Late Triassic of southwest England
Anat Rec (Hoboken). 2023 Sep 21. doi: 10.1002/ar.25316. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe fissure fill localities of southwest England and South Wales are well-known for preserving rich assemblages of predominantly small-bodied Late Triassic to Early Jurassic tetrapods, but many aspects of these assemblages remain contentious. The age of the Late Triassic fissures is disputed, with some lines of argument suggesting a latest Triassic (Rhaetian) age, whereas other evidence suggests they may be as old as Carnian. The fissures have been hypothesized by some workers to have formed on an archipelago, with island effects invoked ...

Evaluation of intraoperative breast radiotherapy on local recurrence: a Brazilian cohort
CONCLUSIONS: The samples consisted of 78 patients, among which a total of 14 (17.9%) recurrences were observed. The median time of recurrence was 49 months after the IOERT was performed. Of the 78 patients analyzed, 13 (16.7%) died, 5 (6.4%) of which were due to breast cancer. The global survival rate in 5 years was 94.9% and 90.4% in 10 years. The local recurrence rate in 5 years was 89.7% and 86.4% in 10 years. Our findings revealed a higher local recurrence rate than the literature data. However, our results also showed that patients classified as low-risk had an overall survival of 5 and 10 years similar to other studi...
