Fogo, Cape Verde, located upon thick oceanic lithosphere provides a window into processes occurring in the mantle where recycled ocean crust in an upwelling mantle plume interacts with ambient mantle. Our objective is to investigate the nature of the lithologies of the mantle sources involved in the petrogenesis of historic volcanic rocks from Fogo. We observe enclaves and mingling textures in the lavas combined withoxygen isotope disequilibrium between olivine and clinopyroxene phenocrysts....

Abstract Sub‐Saharan Africa has a high otolaryngologic disease burden exacerbated by an inadequate number of otolaryngologists. The Otolaryngology department at Mbarara University of Science & Technology in Uganda is addressing this problem by having created Uganda's second national residency training program in 2010. We chronicled an early period in the program's development by reporting surgical case quantity and complexity, as defined by “key indicator procedure” classification per...
