Mapping wrist motion: 3D CT analysis after scapholunate ligament transection
The study investigates the impact of scapholunate (SL) ligament injury on wrist kinematics using computer tomography imaging and 3D modelling. Findings reveal significant rotational changes, particularly for the scaphoid during palmar flexion, underscoring the SL ligament's critical role in wrist biomechanics.

Osteohistology of the unusually fast‐growing theropod dinosaur Ceratosaurus
We report the histology of multiple elements attributed to four individuals of Ceratosaurus. We find that the histology and growth models corroborate previous reports of rapid tissue growth in the genus. Abstract Ceratosaurus is a large‐bodied non‐avian theropod dinosaur known from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation of North America and is ...

An anatomical investigation of alkaptonuria: Novel insights into ochronosis of cartilage and bone
Examination of an alkaptonuria body highlights the susceptibility of all cartilage types and associated perichondrium to ochronotic pigmentation and the heterogeneity of ochronotic pigment distribution both within and between tissues. In joints, calcified cartilage pigments before non‐calcified cartilage.

Circular cross polarized light reveals the fine stucture of dermal bone tissue of a metoposaurid amphibian from the Late Triassic. Top right image shows the looped interwoven fibered bone when illuminated with circular polarized light displaying increased bone matrix intricacy compared to the same region of the bone when visualized with traditional ...

How Passive Neck Immobilisation Influences Tongue Mobility and Strength: An Observational Study
ABSTRACT Background There is a physiological association of the neck movements and jaw and tongue movements. However, there are no previous data regarding the performance of the tongue when the neck is under a lack of movement condition. Objective To quantify the tongue's maximal strength and mobility under an experimental restriction of cervical ...
