Widespread distribution of large silesaurids evidenced by a new record from the Middle Triassic of southwest Gondwana

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
The largest silesaurid known from South America is described here, demonstrating that silesaurids reached large body sizes in southwestern Gondwana. This discovery further underscores the widespread geographic distribution and temporal persistence of large silesaurids across Pangea, despite faunal turnovers and environmental events such as the Carnian ...

Staphylococcus aureus Panton-Valentine leukocidin contributes to inflammation and muscle tissue injury. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) threatens public health worldwide, and epidemiologic data suggest that the Panton-Valentine Leukocidin (PVL) expressed by most CA-MRSA strains could contribute to severe human ...

Exploring the cranial morphology and possible convergences of Triassic non‐crocodylomorph pseudosuchians (Archosauria: Pseudosuchia) with other sauropsids through linear morphometrics

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Triassic pseudosuchians had highly diversified cranial morphologies. These archosaurs occupied diverse ecological roles, ranging from terrestrial predators and herbivores to semiaquatic ambush predators and possible waders. Here, we apply linear cranial morphometrics to assess possible convergences with other sauropsids from the clades ...

Postcranial anatomy and osteohistology of an early prozostrodont cynodont from the Upper Triassic of Brazil

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Prozostrodon brasiliensis, a probainognathian cynodont of the clade Prozostrodontia, is recognized as a key taxon for understanding the origin of Mammaliaformes and mammals. Despite detailed investigations of its cranial anatomy, the postcranial skeleton has received comparatively less attention.

The Prevalence and the Risk Factors Which are Associated with Staphylococcus aureus and Methicillin-Resistant S. aureus Which Harboured the Panton-ValentineLeukocidin Gene in Sikkim [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2012
Background: The clinical sequelae of PVL-positive S. aureus infection tend to be more severe than those of the PVL-negative ones. The strong association of the PVL toxin in the MRSA isolates suggests the methcillin-resistance which contributes to the

Bite force estimates and morphological correlations of jaw muscles in parrots

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Parrots (Order: Psittaciformes) are renowned for their high bite force (BF) and morphological correlates thereof, including a highly mobile skull and two unique mandibular adductor muscles—m. pseudomasseter and m. ethmomandibularis, with the former being hypothesized to increase force output.

Prevalence of PVL and TSST-1 genes in nasal Staphylococcus aureus carriage among healthcare workers in a tertiary hospital

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries
Introduction: Staphylococcus aureus is an important pathogen associated with nosocomial and community-acquired infections. The main reservoirs of S. aureus/MRSA in hospitals are the colonized asymptomatic healthcare workers (HCWs) and patients.
