Conservation benefits of a large marine protected area network that spans multiple ecosystems.

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are widely implemented tools for long-term ocean conservation and resource management. Assessments of MPA performance have largely focused on specific ecosystems individually and have rarely evaluated performance across multiple ecosystems either in an individual MPA or across an MPA network. We evaluated the conservation performance of 59 MPAs in California's large MPA network, which encompasses 4 primary ecosystems (surf zone, kelp forest, shallow reef, deep reef) and 4 bioregions, and identified MPA attributes that best explain performance.

Time to reconsider the use of synthetic mesh in immediate prepectoral implant-based breast reconstruction: Impact of their use on short-term outcomes.

Background: Breast reconstruction practices, predominantly implant-based, have evolved, with meshes aiding in overcoming traditional limitations. However, data comparing mesh-assisted prepectoral reconstruction with implants alone are lacking. This study aimed to assess whether synthetic meshes in prepectoral reconstruction impact postoperative complications.

Myelomeningocele repair in Latin America: a systematic review.

Objective: Myelomeningocele (MMC) carries high morbidity and mortality. The Management of Myelomeningocele Study (MOMS) showed improved outcomes after prenatal compared to postnatal repair. However, it is unclear how the MOMS trial affected practice and outcomes in the Latin American region.

Tracheobronchial Diverticulosis.

Tracheal diverticulosis is a rare and benign disorder, characterized by single or multiple tracheal wall outpouchings, either congenital or acquired, usually diagnosed incidentally on chest high‑resolution computed tomography, and in general remaining asymptomatic.
