Eagles syndrome - Masquerading as ear pain: Review of literature
The name styloid process (SP) was derived from the Greek word \"stylos\" meaning a pillar. It is a bony, cylindrical, needle-shaped projection, which originates from the posterior-inferior side of the petrous bone, immediately in front of the stylomastoid foramen, and goes obliquely down and forward. When elongated leads to pain and discomfort called Eagles syndrome. Elongated SP accounts approximately to 4-7 of the population, 4 only are symptomatic.

Elongated styloid process: A study
The styloid process (SP) on the temporal bone is a highly variable formation. The normal length of the SP ranges from 20 to 30 mm. In spite of its being normally distributed in the population, SPs could be divided into two groups - short SPs with >20 mm and long SPs with <20 mm in length. The SP is often denoted as elongated when it is longer than 30 mm or 33 mm. These dimensions, based on early reports, do not respect the natural variation of the SP. The aim of this study is to investigate the natural variation of the length of the SP.

Flying Camelot
Flying Camelot brings us back
to the post-Vietnam era, when the US Air Force launched two new,
state-of-the art fighter aircraft: the F-15 Eagle and the F-16
Fighting Falcon. It was an era when debates about aircraft
superiority went public-and these were not uncontested discussions.
Michael W. Hankins delves deep into the fighter pilot culture that
gave rise to both designs, showing how a small but vocal group of
pilots, engineers, and analysts in the Department of Defense
weaponized their own culture to affect technological development
and larger political change.
The design and advancement of the F-15 and F-16 reflected this
group's nostalgic desire to recapture the best of World War I air
combat. Known as the \"Fighter Mafia,\" and later growing into the
media savvy political powerhouse \"Reform Movement,\" it believed
that American weapons systems were too complicated and expensive,
and thus vulnerable. The group's leader was Colonel John Boyd, a
contentious former fighter pilot heralded as a messianic figure by
many in its ranks. He and his group advocated for a shift in focus
from the multi-role interceptors the Air Force had designed in the
early Cold War towards specialized air-to-air combat dogfighters.
Their influence stretched beyond design and into larger politicized
debates about US national security, debates that still resonate
today.
A biography of fighter pilot culture and the nostalgia that
drove decision-making, Flying Camelot deftly engages both
popular culture and archives to animate the movement that shook the
foundations of the Pentagon and Congress.

A broad range of physical lesions and mortalities in scavenger raptors of Patagonia/Una amplia variedad de lesiones fisicas y mortalidades en rapaces carroneras en la Patagonia
The avian scavenger raptors guild of Patagonia, the southernmost region of South America (3756[degrees]S), comprises 3 species of obligate scavengers and 7 species of facultative scavengers. Despite the species richness, there is little information about the anthropogenic threats this guild might face. Here, based on 164 h of observations and photographic records across 3 austral winters, we reveal a broad range of lesions (missing legs, digits or talons, fractures, luxations, pododermatitis, necrosis, hyperkeratosis, and beak and ocular lesions) and mortalities among scavenger raptors in Argentine Patagonia at 2 anthropogenic food-rich sites located 1,750 km apart at 38[degrees] and 54[degrees] S. Wc photographed 146 individuals with 174 physical lesions and found 61 dead individuals, including one obligate scavenger species (Black Vulture, Coragyps atratus) and 4 facultative scavenger species (Crested Carneara, Caracara plancus; Chimango Caracara, Daptrius chimango; White-throated Caracara, D. albogularis; and Black-chested Buzzard-Eagle, Geranoaetus melanoleucus). Ninety percent of the lesions we recorded on the individuals were located on their hindlimbs. None of the carcasses we found exhibited any apparent lesions. The precise nature and origins of these lesions and mortalities remain uncertain. However, the hindlimb lesions align with the effects of leg-hold traps, while poisoning emerges as the most likely cause of mortality among individuals foraging at these anthropogenic food-rich sites. These findings suggest a notable human-induced threat to the avian scavenger raptors guild in Patagonia. Received 3 February 2024. Accepted 19 June 2024.
