The Winchcombe meteorite, a unique and pristine witness from the outer solar system.

Direct links between carbonaceous chondrites and their parent bodies in the solar system are rare. The Winchcombe meteorite is the most accurately recorded carbonaceous chondrite fall. Its pre-atmospheric orbit and cosmic-ray exposure age confirm that it arrived on Earth shortly after ejection from a primitive asteroid.

The Boltysh impact structure: An early Danian impact event during recovery from the K-Pg mass extinction.

Both the Chicxulub and Boltysh impact events are associated with the K-Pg boundary. While Chicxulub is firmly linked to the end-Cretaceous mass extinction, the temporal relationship of the ~24-km-diameter Boltysh impact to these events is uncertain, although it is thought to have occurred 2 to 5 ka before the mass extinction. Here, we conduct the first direct geochronological comparison of Boltysh to the K-Pg boundary.

Shock metamorphism in plagioclase and selective amorphization.

Plagioclase feldspar is one of the most common rock-forming minerals on the surfaces of the Earth and other terrestrial planetary bodies, where it has been exposed to the ubiquitous process of hypervelocity impact. However, the response of plagioclase to shock metamorphism remains poorly understood. In particular, constraining the initiation and progression of shock-induced amorphization in plagioclase (i.

Probing the hydrothermal system of the Chicxulub impact crater.

The ~180-km-diameter Chicxulub peak-ring crater and ~240-km multiring basin, produced by the impact that terminated the Cretaceous, is the largest remaining intact impact basin on Earth. International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) and International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP) Expedition 364 drilled to a depth of 1335 m below the sea floor into the peak ring, providing a unique opportunity to study the thermal and chemical modification of Earth's crust caused by the impact. The recovered core shows the crater hosted a spatially extensive hydrothermal system that chemically and mineralogically modified ~1.

Addition Of A Sleeve To The Etanercept Autoinjector (Enbrel MyClic) Improves Ease Of Use In Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Purpose: A novel device (sleeve) has been developed that attaches to compatible autoinjectors and is designed to improve the patient experience, particularly for those with limited manual dexterity. This study was designed to explore whether user experience is improved when using the Enbrel MyClic autoinjector in conjunction with the sleeve. The Enbrel MyClic autoinjector contains etanercept (Enbrel), a biologic drug that patients self-administer subcutaneously for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
