An overview of the appendicular skeletal anatomy of South American titanosaurian sauropods, with definition of a newly recognized clade.

In the last two decades, the number of phylogenetically informative anatomical characters recognized in the appendicular skeleton of titanosaurian sauropod dinosaurs has increased dramatically with the discovery of new and comparatively complete specimens. Here we provide an overview of the appendicular skeletal morphology of South American titanosaurs and discuss its significance for phylogenetic reconstruction. The appendicular skeletal diversity of South American titanosaurs is substantially greater than was initially appreciated.

Baalsaurus mansillai gen. et sp. nov. a new titanosaurian sauropod (Late Cretaceous) from Neuquén, Patagonia, Argentina.

We describe a dentary of a new titanosaur sauropod, Baalsaurus mansillai, gen. et sp. nov.

An unusual case of mammary Paget’s disease in a woman with psoriasis.

Mammary Paget’s disease (MPD) is a malignant breast tumor, which is characterized by intraepidermal infiltration from malignant glandular epithelial cells. Often it may include an underlying ductal carcinoma in situ or an invasive ductal carcinoma. Clinically it appears as an erythematous patch, moist or crusted, with or without desquamation that in some cases becomes ulcerated, causing infiltration and inversion of the nipple.

[Density-mask spiral computed tomography in patients who are candidates for a lung-volume-reduction intervention: a preliminary study].

Purpose: To investigate the usefulness of helical CT with multiplanar reconstructions and density mask in emphysematous patients candidate for lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS), in order to assess the feasibility of surgery and for surgical planning.

Material And Methods: Twenty emphysematous patients (5 women and 15 men; age range: 55-67 years, mean: 61) candidate for LVRS were submitted to isotope perfusion scanning, chest radiography during maximal inspiration and expiration and Helical CT with the low volume contrast technique, multiplanar reconstructions and density mask.

Results: Only 8 of the 20 patients examined were submitted to LVRS.
