  • Our comparative study of mediolateral neural patterning and neuron-type distribution in the developing trunk CNS of the annelid Platynereis revealed an unexpected degree of similarity to the mediolateral architecture of the developing vertebrate neural tube

  • In an observational study of 56.471 deliveries attended by midwives the incidence of third-degree tears was 0.4% if no episiotomy was made, and the same with a mediolateral episiotomy; the incidence with a midline episiotomy was 1.2% (Pel and Heres 1995).

  • Midline episiotomies are more easily sutured and have the advantage of leaving less scar-tissue, whilst mediolateral episiotomies more effectively avoid the anal sphincter and the rectum.

  • The orientation of the specimen (40 degrees from horizontal on the mediolateral plane and 85 degrees on the sagittal plane, in a head down position), together with the high degree of articulation, is further suggestive of dune collapse preservation.

  • The first phalanx of digit I is greatly enlarged and asymmetric; the transverse axis of the distal articular surface twisted laterally approximately 60 degrees relative to the mediolateral axis of the proximal end.
