The endosseous labyrinths are associated with several functions, including hearing and spatial orientation. Throughout their evolutionary history, crocodylomorphs have thrived in diverse environments, and the morphology of their endosseous labyrinths has been suggested as a proxy for inferring their lifestyle. However, the relationships between the shape of their endosseous labyrinths and ontogenetic and phylogenetic factors are difficult to interpret and have rarely been investigated in depth previously, particularly in terms of dataset size.

- The Carboniferous myriapod is the largest known arthropod, but incomplete fossils have made it hard to understand its biology and ecology.!
- Advanced imaging techniques have helped analyze well-preserved specimens from France, revealing detailed anatomical features like the head and mouthparts, and showing similarities with both millipedes and centipedes.!
- A comprehensive analysis combining morphological and genetic data positions this myriapod as a precursor to millipedes, potentially altering its evolutionary classification and highlighting the importance of integrating multiple data types in studying evolutionary relationships.!
Cognitive and Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is the gold standard treatment for chronic insomnia, with one crucial step being the restriction of time spent in bed. This restriction often intensifies early afternoon sleepiness, leading to a natural gateway for a short recuperative nap, which might foster adherence to CBT-I over time. In practice, mental health professionals providing CBT-I lack consensus on whether or not to tolerate short naps during the CBT-I period for requesting patients.

- - Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS) is a genetic condition characterized by intellectual disability, unique facial features, limb abnormalities, and unusual growth patterns, caused by mutations in the CBP and p300 genes.
- - A diverse range of clinical and diagnostic practices for RTS exists worldwide, highlighted by discussions among international experts and support groups.
- - This report presents consensus recommendations for clinical diagnostic criteria, molecular investigations, and long-term management of RTS, emphasizing the need for ongoing evaluation to improve patient care.
We describe the endocranial structures of Hamadasuchus, a peirosaurid crocodylomorph from the late Albian-Cenomanian Kem Kem group of Morocco. The cranial endocast, associated nerves and arteries, endosseous labyrinths, and cranial pneumatization, as well as the bones of the braincase of a new specimen, are reconstructed and compared with extant and fossil crocodylomorphs, which represent different lifestyles. Cranial bones of this specimen are identified as belonging to Hamadasuchus, with close affinities with Rukwasuchus yajabalijekundu, another peirosaurid from the 'middle' Cretaceous of Tanzania.
