Bundled cross-strata from Martian rocks suggest an Earth-like cyclic self-organisation of bedforms

Cross-strata on Mars are expressions of ancient bedforms formed due to sediment transport by either wind or water. Some of these cross-strata show peculiar features, including intercalated mudstone drapes, discontinuity surfaces and cyclic patterns in stratum thickness (i.e. bund...

The secret of the saws: historical DNA analysis reveals global genetic diversity loss in a highly threatened species

Abstract Genetic diversity is critical to long-term survival of species but can be eroded by population declines driven by human pressures. Temporal genetic monitoring of threatened species can reveal changes in genetic diversity over time, providing key data for conservation. Sp...

Cost-effectiveness of screening for developmental dysplasia of the hip in children born in England and Wales

Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of screening programmes for identifying developmental hip dysplasia (DDH) in children born in England and Wales. Methods: The costs and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) associated with DDH screening programmes...
