Transitions from benthic to pelagic habitats often coincide with shifts in diet, yet the genomic basis and macroevolutionary dynamics of these changes remain poorly understood. Surgeonfishes and allies (Acanthuriformes), with their rich fossil record, dietary diversity, and compact genomes, provide a powerful model to investigate these transitions across deep time. We integrate genomic data from 80 extant species with morphological data from 32 fossils to construct total-evidence, tip-dated...

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effects of incorporating the antibacterial monomer dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM; 2.5% and 5% wt%) and amorphous calcium phosphate nanoparticles (NACP; 2 wt%) on the antibacterial activity, cytotoxicity, and remineralizing potential of experimental resin infiltrants.

Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is a common neurosurgical condition with meaningful recurrence after conventional treatment. Middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) has emerged as an adjunctive and, in selected cases, a treatment strategy. Although liquid embolic agents and particles have been more extensively studied, coil-only MMAE is used in practice and may be particularly useful in anatomically challenging cases. We aim to synthesize the available evidence on coil-only MMAE for cSDH....

CONCLUSIONS: We found variation in time from diagnosis to strabismus surgery among pediatric patients. Non-White patients, specifically Asian, Hispanic, and Other, experienced longer time from diagnosis to surgery than White patients. Non-White racial groups, specifically multiracial and Native American / Native Alaskan, experienced longer time from recommendation to surgery compared with their White counterparts.

Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is a rare and aggressive type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma with biological features that overlap between B-cell lymphoma and plasma cell neoplasm. There is currently no established standard treatment, however intensive combination regimens such as EPOCH are recommended. There is a paucity of data regarding outcomes of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in this disease. Herein, we analyze data of patients with PBL who received autologous (autoHCT) or allogeneic...
