A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

Applications of pre- and intraoperative eAEP like eABR in cochlear implant candidacy

Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering
Introduction: Preoperative electrically auditory evoked potentials (= eAEP, i.e., eABR for brainstem, eAMLR for midbrain, and eALR for cortex) can be performed under local anesthesia, achieving subjective sensation and hearing in patients having a ...

Molecular detection of Ehrlichia canis in dogs in Malaysia.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013
An epidemiological study of Ehrlichia canis infection in dogs in Peninsular Malaysia was carried out using molecular detection techniques. A total of 500 canine blood samples were collected from veterinary clinics and dog shelters. Molecular screening by

The relationship between form and function of the carnivore mandible

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dietary morphology diversified extensively in Carnivoraformes (living Carnivora and their stem relatives) during the Cenozoic (the last 66 million years) as they evolved to capture, handle, and process new animal and plant diets. We used 3D geometric morphometrics, mechanical advantage, and finite element analysis to test the evolutionary ...

Electrode contact estimation based on preoperative versus postoperative imaging as a basis for anatomy-based fitting

Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering
Anatomy-based fitting (ABF) has the potential to lead to better outcomes than conventional clinically-based fitting (CBF). It has already been shown that anatomy-based fitting based on postoperative imaging (postopABF) can improve speech understanding ...

Toxocara canis myelitis.

Nihon Naika Gakkai Zasshi, 2007
イヌ回虫性脊髄炎は幼虫移行症の一つであり，まれな神経感染症である．症例は左半身のしびれ感にて発症した21歳女性で，頻回に生の牛レバー食歴があった．脊髄MRIで第4～8胸椎レベルに病変を認め，脳脊髄液中の好酸球出現と血清IgE上昇を認めた．血清，脳脊髄液中のイヌ回虫抗体価上昇を認め，イヌ回虫性脊髄炎と診断した．アルベンダゾールの内服で臨床症状は改善し，抗体価も低下した．脊髄炎の鑑別診断の一つにイヌ回虫性脊髄炎も考慮すべきと考え，報告する．

Ontogeny of murine bony semicircular canal form

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The labyrinthine geometry and functional anatomy of the semicircular canals have intrigued scientists for decades, and there has been considerable interest in understanding how these complex structures grow and develop with evidence emerging from human studies that size maturation occurs exceptionally early by comparison with other systems ...

From armadillos to sloths: Patterns and variations in xenarthran coronary anatomy

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Species of the superorder Xenarthra play a vital ecological role in the Neotropics. Despite their evolutionary significance, anatomical studies on their coronary circulation remain scarce. This study investigated the coronary anatomy of 82 hearts from nine Xenarthra species across the Dasypodidae, Myrmecophagidae, and Bradypodidae.

Dental crown morphological variation and heterodonty in carcharhiniform sharks

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Elasmobranch teeth are highly mineralized structures that constitute the majority of the fossil record for this group. Despite their taxonomic and evolutionary significance, detailed descriptions of dental morphology remain scarce. The order Carcharhiniformes, the most diverse among sharks, comprises 304 valid species that display remarkable ...
