Background And Aims: The complexity of fossil forest ecosystems is difficult to reconstruct due to the fragmentary nature of the fossil record. However, detailed morpho-anatomical studies of well-preserved individual fossils can provide key information on tree growth and ecology, including in biomes with no modern analog such as the lush forests that developed in the polar regions during past greenhouse climatic episodes.
Methods: We describe an unusual-looking stem from Middle Triassic (ca 240 Ma) deposits of Antarctica with over 100 very narrow growth-rings and conspicuous persistent vascular traces through the wood.
Article Synopsis
- Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) pose significant challenges globally, and they can lead to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), which has low survival rates despite medical advancements.
- This study developed the FACTOR score—a tool to predict in-hospital mortality for OHCA patients undergoing coronary angiography, based on admission variables like age, downtime, first detected rhythm, and epinephrine administration.
- The FACTOR score showed strong predictive accuracy, with an area under the curve of 0.823 in the derivation cohort and 0.828 in the validation cohort, potentially aiding healthcare providers in better managing resources and patient care.
Background: Refugees often report high levels of psychological distress due to traumatic experiences before and during flight as well as many post-migration stressors. Refugees with hazardous substance use or existing substance use disorder (SUD) are a particularly vulnerable group for whom few preventive and therapeutic measures are available. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of an integrative culturally sensitive group therapy approach (STARC-SUD) to improve affect regulation in refugees with substance-related problems.

Objective: This study sought to examine the respective subtypes in female PTSD-SUD patients and potential relationships with substance use characteristics.
Methods: We performed a latent class analysis (LCA) in 343 adult female participants of a multisite therapy trial on PTSD and SUD.
