The development of patient-specific 3D anatomical models in minimally invasive parathyroidectomy.

Background: Surgery is the preferred treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism. Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy is only feasible with accurate preoperative localisation. Virtual 3D anatomical models can be constructed from patient-specific CT scans using segmentation software.

A Modified Delphi Process to Achieve Consensus on Social/Administrative Science Topics in Pharmacy Curricula.

Objective: This study aimed to identify a consensus among pharmacy educators regarding relevant social and administrative science (SAS) topic areas and their priorities within pharmacy curricula.

Methods: A modified Delphi process was conducted with members of selected American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy affinity groups as the expert panel. A total of 83 potential topic areas across 12 domains were gathered via an informal literature review.

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) mortality in Vietnam war era veterans.

Background: There is concern about the risk of cholangiocarcinoma mortality (CCA) among U.S. veterans who deployed to the Vietnam War theater.

Phylogeography of Cold Water Soft Coral spp. (Anthozoa, Octocorallia: Alcyonacea) Between South America and the West Antarctic Peninsula.

The Antarctic marine environment has a unique geologic and climatic history that has contributed to the evolution of high species diversity. Given the current trend of environmental warming, understanding the history of Antarctic species is crucial for predicting the impact of climate change on ecosystem function. Soft corals are a group of striking presence in the benthic marine assemblages in the Southern Ocean, which is recognized as a biodiversity hotspot.
