Sirenomelia: A Review of European Prevalence Data and Epidemiological Analysis of 17 Cases Registered in Wales

Birth Defects Research, Volume 118, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Sirenomelia is a rare congenital condition most notably characterized by a single lower limb. Previous studies have suggested a prevalence of approximately 1 per 100,000 births. However, in Wales 17 cases were recorded between 1998 and 2016, suggesting a higher rate of sirenomelia in this country.

On Unease and Discomfort About the Anthropocene

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.

The durations of all GTS units tend to become shorter toward the present. The proposed Anthropocene epoch and Crawfordian age fit that trend comfortably.
