Morphometric and Paleobiological Insights Into Pleistocene Sicilian Wolf Populations

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Pleistocene wolves (Canis lupus) from Sicily represent one of the few known insular populations of this species from that time period. Despite their potential relevance for understanding carnivore adaptations in insular contexts, no dedicated study has previously investigated their morphology and evolutionary significance.

An unusual presentation of osteochondrosis in the elbows and tarsi of a Friesian colt

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary This case report describes the clinical, diagnostic imaging results and post‐mortem findings in a foal that underwent reassessment following surgical management of angular limb deformities (ALD) and acute onset of gait abnormalities. Upon presentation, the foal showed an abnormal stiff gait characterised by bilateral medial limb collapse during

Avulsion of the tuberosity of the calcaneus, an unusual injurie: case report

The Pan African Medical Journal, 2016
Avulsion calcaneal tuberosity fracture is an uncommon but potentially serious condition. Recent studies on the epidemiology of these specific fractures have demonstrated that avulsed calcaneal fractures account for 1.3% of all calcaneal fractures.It is ...

Deep and disseminated dermatophytosis in immunocompromised populations—A systematic review

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
Dermatophyte infections of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue (i.e. deep dermatophytosis)—associated with secondary complications including pseudomycetoma and systemic dissemination—affect vulnerable populations with primary or acquired immunodeficiencies.

Development and validation of a novel approach for quantifying dimensions of the lateral ligaments in human ankle dissections

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Traditional measurement techniques in cadaveric dissection fail to account for the changes in soft tissue length during joint movement. We have developed a new, simple method to obtain more accurate measurements of ligament length and validated using the lateral ankle ligaments group.

PATTERNS OF SUPERIOR ARTICULAR FACET AND MORPHOMETRIC STUDY OF NEPALESE DRY CALCANEI

Sanamed, 2018
Introduction: The three important articulating facets in the superior aspect of the calcaneum are the anterior, middle and posterior articulating facet. Descriptions of the posterior talar facet on the dorsum of the calcaneus are similar.

Functional anatomy of entheses and enthesis organs: A celebration of Professor Mike Benjamin's contribution to enthesis biology

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This review celebrates the work of Professor Mike Benjamin, whose anatomical research transformed our understanding of entheses. Entheses are biomechanically complex regions that accommodate the transition between soft connective tissues and bone by natural macroscopic and microscopic adaptations that reduce stress concentration.

Architecture of lower leg muscles in children: Reference curves and potential mechanisms of growth

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Muscle architecture (physiological cross‐sectional area, fascicle lengths and pennation angle) was measured from multimodal MRI scans of the lower legs of 197 children aged ≤15 years. We showed that lower leg muscle volumes (product of PCSA and fascicle length) increase primarily through increases in PCSA (transverse growth) rather than increases in ...

3D Printing Calcaneal Fractures: Continuously Improving our Care by Making a Complex Problem Tangible

Journal of Investigative Surgery, 2018
Calcaneal fractures are amongst the most complex injuries known to man. Their intricate anatomy and extensive damage after trauma make them difficult to understand and treat.

Preliminary Study on the Comparison of Calcaneus Taping and Arch Taping Methods for Flexible Flatfoot Subjects

Physical Therapy Korea, 2023
Background: The flexible flatfoot is characterized by a flattening of the foot arch due to excessive bodyweight. The use of shoe insoles or taping methods has been identified as effective in realigning the navicular or calcaneus bones and addressing ...
