AI Article Synopsis
- The Iberian Peninsula played a crucial role in understanding human settlement in Eurasia, particularly during the transition from Neandertals to anatomically modern humans.
- There was a notable lack of human presence in central Iberia for about 16,000 years following the Neandertals' disappearance until evidence of human occupation re-emerges around 36,200 years ago.
- The findings indicate that despite a shift towards colder and dryer conditions, anatomically modern humans successfully adapted their subsistence strategies and settled in areas previously thought to be uninhabitable, challenging existing views on early population dynamics in southwestern Europe.
Article Abstract
The Iberian Peninsula is a key region for unraveling human settlement histories of Eurasia during the period spanning the decline of Neandertals and the emergence of anatomically modern humans (AMH). There is no evidence of human occupation in central Iberia after the disappearance of Neandertals ~42,000 years ago until approximately 26,000 years ago, rendering the region "nobody's land" during the Aurignacian period. The Abrigo de la Malia provides irrefutable evidence of human settlements dating back to 36,200 to 31,760 calibrated years before the present (cal B.P.) This site also records additional levels of occupation around 32,420 to 26,260 cal B.P., suggesting repeated settlement of this territory. Our multiproxy examination identifies a change in climate trending toward colder and more arid conditions. However, this climatic deterioration does not appear to have affected AMH subsistence strategies or their capacity to inhabit this region. These findings reveal the ability of AMH groups to colonize regions hitherto considered uninhabitable, reopening the debate on early Upper Paleolithic population dynamics of southwestern Europe.

Early Reinitiation of Obesity Pharmacotherapy Post Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy in Youth: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Obes Surg
January 2025
Division of Upper Gastrointestinal and General Surgery, Department of Surgery, Keck Medical Center of University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA.
Background: Bariatric surgery is the most effective intervention for severe pediatric obesity, but a subset of youth experience suboptimal weight loss and/or recurrent weight gain. Early re-initiation of obesity pharmacotherapy postoperatively may improve outcomes, though this has not been evaluated in pediatric populations.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study at a tertiary care children's hospital evaluated the safety and efficacy of reintroducing obesity pharmacotherapy within six weeks after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).
Safety of accessing brachial veins for large-bore upper extremity venous thrombectomy using ClotTriever Thrombectomy System.
CVIR Endovasc
January 2025
Department of Radiology, Section of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, University of Washington, 1959 Northeast Pacific Street, Seattle, WA, 98195, USA.
Purpose: To evaluate access site adverse events following ClotTriever-mediated large-bore mechanical thrombectomy via small upper extremity deep veins (< 6-mm).
Materials And Methods: Twenty patients, including 24 upper extremity venous access sites, underwent ClotTriever-mediated large-bore thrombectomy of the upper extremity and thoracic central veins for symptomatic deep vein obstruction unresponsive to anticoagulation. Patients without follow-up venous duplex examinations (n = 3) were excluded.
3-Step Combined Technique for Correction of Involutional Lower Eyelid Ectropion: A Case Series.
J Clin Med
December 2024
Plastic Surgery Unit, University Hospital Trust of Sassari, 07100 Sassari, Italy.
Involutional lower eyelid ectropion is a common disorder of the elderly population. Several surgical approaches have been described in the literature to address the multifactorial nature of this condition, each targeting different factors contributing to its development. Nevertheless, no single procedure has proven to be superior to the others.

Medicine (Baltimore)
January 2025
Department of General Practice, The General Hospital of Western Theatre Command, Chengdu, China.
Background: Postinfectious cough was a common clinical symptom, which troubled patients and increased economic burden. The efficacy of pharmacotherapy for this symptom was unsatisfactory. This study aimed to explore the intervention effect of intensified mask-wearing on patients with post-upper respiratory tract infection cough and its role in reducing the economic burden of patients.

Importance: Upper gastrointestinal cancers such as gastric and esophageal cancers are rare malignancies with poor prognosis because it is usually diagnosed in latter stages. Presenting symptoms are frequently presumed pregnancy related rather than malignancy related. This review will raise awareness to consider these aggressive cancers in evaluating gastrointestinal complaints during pregnancy.
