The knowledge of Pliensbachian (Early Jurassic, ∼192.9-184.2 Ma) plesiosaurs is notoriously insufficient.

Fasting is a major environmental cue across the animal kingdom, yet how it impacts three-dimensional (3D) genome organization is unknown. Here we show that fasting induces an intestine-specific, reversible and large-scale spatial reorganization of chromatin in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Purpose: This multicentric, retrospective study provides safety and performance data of the MED-EL total ossicular replacement prostheses (TORP).
Methods: Patients underwent tympanoplasty with mXACT Total Prosthesis Center, mXACT Total Prosthesis Offcenter or mXACT PRO Total Prosthesis. The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.
Article Synopsis
- Systemic glucocorticoids, like prednisolone and dexamethasone, are often used to treat idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL), but it's unclear if higher doses are more effective or riskier than lower doses.
- In a study with 325 patients, groups were given different regimens: high-dose intravenous prednisolone, high-dose oral dexamethasone, or lower-dose oral prednisolone.
- Results showed that while there were improvements in hearing, high-dose therapies (HD-Pred and HD-Dex) did not outperform lower-dose treatment (Pred-Control) and were associated with more adverse side effects.
The potential spin-triplet heavy-fermion superconductor UTe exhibits signatures of multiple distinct superconducting phases. For field aligned along the b axis, a metamagnetic transition occurs at μH ≈ 35 T. It is associated with magnetic fluctuations that may be beneficial for the field-reinforced superconductivity surviving up to H.
