Abstract The preauricular sulcus has long been debated as a pelvic feature variably attributed to obstetric stress, ligamentous traction, and broader biomechanical processes. To clarify its determinants, we analyzed 409 adult individuals from three archeological and one early modern skeletal collection from the Iberian Peninsula, integrating graded ...

Twin pregnancies and the limits of the energetics of gestation and growth hypothesis
Abstract The “Energetics of Gestation and Growth” (EGG) hypothesis proposes that human birth timing and the associated secondary altriciality of human newborns is determined by limits in maternal metabolic capacity. According to this model, labor is triggered when the increasing fetal energy requirements exceed the expectant mother's maximum sustained ...

The pelvis doesn't walk by itself: Wider pelves reduce the cost of walking over unstable surfaces
Abstract Walking over variable and/or unstable terrain is a key aspect of daily life and was crucial to the evolution of bipedalism. The ability to find gait solutions that maintained stability over uneven terrain for the least increase in metabolic cost was likely a hallmark of locomotor effectiveness in early humans, in particular acting as an ...

Craniofacial growth, modeling, and estimation of milestones
Abstract Understanding craniofacial growth is foundational for research into intra‐ and interspecies variation, evolution, and clinical care. The Craniofacial Growth Consortium Study (CGCS), combines cephalographs from historical growth studies to create a dense longitudinal record of growth from 6 to 22 years of age.

Prior glucocorticoid exposure is associated with modestly increased vancomycin clearance in hospitalized children, partly mediated by renal function and inflammation and may contribute to subtherapeutic early drug exposure. Abstract Introduction Augmented renal clearance (ARC) can lead to subtherapeutic vancomycin exposure in children.
