Enantiornithes are the most successful early-diverging avian clade, their fossils revealing important information regarding the structure of Cretaceous avifaunas and the parallel refinement of flight alongside the ornithuromorph lineage that includes modern birds. The most diverse recognized family of Early Cretaceous enantiornithines is the Bohaiornithidae, known from the Jehol Biota in northeastern China. Members of this clade enhance our understanding of intraclade morphological diversity and elucidate the independent evolution of this unique lineage.

Over- and under-resuscitation contribute to increased overall hospital costs, and morbidity and mortality rates. The primary objective of this study was to identify potential racial disparities that may exist during the initial fluid resuscitation after burn injury.

- The study aims to evaluate the feasibility of an exercise intervention for young people aged 13-17 with mild to moderate depression, comparing high-intensity exercise, low-intensity exercise, and social activities.
- Participants were recruited through mental health services and schools, with the intervention delivered over 12 weeks by trained professionals.
- Results showed a 71.4% retention rate and over 67% attendance, although only 14 participants were randomized from the initial referrals, indicating challenges in recruitment.
Understanding the genomic landscape of breast cancer brain metastases (BCBMs) is key to developing targeted treatments. In this study, targetable genomic profiling was performed on 822 BCBMs, 11,988 local breast cancer (BC) biopsies and 15,516 non-central nervous system (N-CNS) metastases (all unpaired samples) collected during the course of routine clinical care by Foundation Medicine Inc (Boston, MA). Clinically relevant genomic alterations were significantly enriched in BCBMs compared to local BCs and N-CNS metastases.
