We describe a trackway (LH-Mg-10-16) occurring in laminated carbonated limestones of the Las Hoyas locality, Serranía de Cuenca, Spain. It is unmistakably a large theropod dinosaur trackway encompassing two unusual aspects, namely, wide-steps, and a set of equally deformed left footprints (with a dislocated digit). The layer also preserves other vertebrate trails (fish Undichna) and different impressions in the sediment.

The detection of any possible predictor of gravity could improve the early approach in these patients.
Patients And Methods: We registered data from renal transplant recipients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) infection in our area for a year (March 2020 to March 2021).
Individuals raised on a farm appear to have less asthma than individual raised elsewhere. However, selective migration might contribute to this as may also the suggested protection from farm environment. This study investigated if parents with asthma are less likely to raise their children on a farm.

Aims: To compare adult's report of their parent's smoking status against parent's own report and examine predictors for discrepant answers.
Methods: We studied 7185 offspring (18-51 years) and one of their parents, n = 5307 (27-67 years) participating in the Respiratory Health in Northern Europe, Spain and Australia (RHINESSA) generation study.
Background: Very few studies have examined whether a long-term beneficial effect of physical activity on lung function can be influenced by living in polluted urban areas.
Objective: We assessed whether annual average residential concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO) and particulate matter with aerodynamic diameters < 2.5 μm (PM) and <10 μm (PM) modify the effect of physical activity on lung function among never- (N = 2801) and current (N = 1719) smokers in the multi-center European Community Respiratory Health Survey.
