Hoffmann's two‐toed sloth I: Complete myology in the thoracic limb of Choloepus (Pilosa: Xenarthra)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Two‐toed sloths use their thoracic limbs for more frequent and prolonged suspensory support than three‐toed sloths and accordingly demonstrate myological traits consistent with stability of the pectoral girdle, enhanced flexor force/torque applied at the elbow joint, and grip on the support.

Scratching beneath the surface: Quantification of muscle architecture and myosin heavy chain content in the forelimbs of black‐tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys, Rodentia)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Black‐tailed prairie dogs are highly social ground squirrels that excavate communal burrow systems, most often in medium‐textured soils. Their forelimbs demonstrate morphofunctional trade‐offs for scratch‐digging and terrestrial ecology, including well‐developed and fast‐contracting proximal musculature with large mechanical advantage paired with ...

Twin Defaults and Bank Capital Requirements

The Journal of Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine optimal capital requirements in a quantitative general equilibrium model with banks exposed to nondiversifiable borrower default risk. Contrary to standard models of bank default risk, our framework captures the limited upside, but significant downside risk of loan portfolio returns.

Characterization of Sec14 Domain–Containing Proteins in the Malaria Parasite Plasmodium falciparum

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
During asexual blood‐stage development, P. falciparum Sec14 proteins display distinct localizations suggesting specialized roles in lipid exchange. PfSec14‐1 initially localizes to the nucleus before moving to the ER and Golgi alongside PfSec14‐4 during schizogony.

Unpacking Nutrition Integration in Irish Healthcare: A Qualitative Exploration Across Five Clinical Disciplines

Nutrition Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nutrition care is fundamental to effective healthcare; nevertheless, its everyday implementation by Irish healthcare professionals (HCPs) is poorly understood. This study aimed to explore the knowledge, practice, and perceived barriers to delivering nutrition care among HCPs and students in medicine, nursing, pharmacy, physiotherapy and ...

Basal cell hyperplasia (BCH) versus high grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN) in tiny prostatic needle biopsies: Unusual diagnostic dilemma

Journal of the Egyptian National Cancer Institute, 2014
Background: Histopathological differentiation between BCH and HGPIN in prostatic needle biopsies is a diagnostic challenge. The gold standard for detection of HGPIN and BCH is histopathological examination; however subjectivity in interpretation and tiny

Latent Profile Analysis of Generic Conspiracy Beliefs‐ Differences in Science Acceptance, Analytical and Intuitive Thinking

Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The aims of the present study were to (i) identify profiles of belief in conspiracy theories, and to (ii) test whether the obtained profiles differed in analytical (rational ability, rational engagement, Cognitive Reflection Test) and intuitive thinking (experiential ability, experiential engagement), and science denial (vaccine, climate ...
