Summary: Bird eggs possess a mineralized eggshell with a soft underlying fibrous membrane.These dissimilar material layers successfully evolved a structural attachment to each other as a conserved avian reproduction strategy essential to avian embryonic development, growth, and hatching of the chick.To understand how organic membrane fibers attach
Introduction: Rural areas worldwide face a general surgeon shortage, limiting rural populations' access to surgical care.While individual and practice-related factors have been well-studied in the US, we need a better understanding of the role of community characteristics in surgeons' location choices.This study aimed to understand the de
