Expert Asymmetry: Evidence From Securities Litigation

Journal of Empirical Legal Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern litigation often involves two separate, extra‐legal features: (1) contingency fee arrangements with the plaintiff‐side attorney, and (2) a “battle of the experts” where the outcome of the case rests on conflicting expert witness testimony.

How do forelimb long bones adapt in rhinoceroses? An in‐depth examination of their microanatomy

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Here, we study the bone structure in the forelimb long bones of the five extant species of rhinoceroses. By combining traditional description of virtual sections made on the bones (A) with in‐depth cartographies of the variation of bone compactness and anisotropy (B), we show how bone tissue can adapt to extreme forces and constraints in the second ...

Cobb angle measurement with a conventional convex echography probe and a smartphone

European Spine Journal, 2019
Serial X-rays are needed during the follow-up of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. They are done every 6 or 3 months in cases of high risk of progression. Thanks to the advances in ultrasound techniques, deformity measurement systems free from ionizing radiations have been validated, although spinal surgeons did not use them routinely due to the need of

How the Threat of Knowledge Loss Drives Firms’ R&D Dynamism: A Threat Rigidity Perspective

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Drawing on threat rigidity theory, this paper argues that the threat of knowledge loss gives rise to a threat rigidity effect in firms’ R&D function, that is, reduces their R&D dynamism. It further argues that the dampening of R&D dynamism is greater for firms more vulnerable to the threat of knowledge loss due to facing greater product market

That sinkin’ feeling: Environmentally induced distress on a disappearing island

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Residents of Tangier Island, Virginia, a subsiding island in the Chesapeake Bay, embody psychosocial dimensions of environmental change. Analysis of ethnographic data shows islanders’ experiences and articulations of anxiety, panic, and despair as “that sinkin’ feeling,” resulting from the stress of living with the long‐term threat of imminent

Pension Systems (Un)sustainability and Fiscal Constraints: A Comparative Analysis

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using an overlapping generations model, two new indicators of public pension system sustainability are proposed: the pension space, which measures the capacity to pay for pension expenditures out of labour taxation, and the pension space exhaustion probability reflecting demographic uncertainties.

The Cervical Vertebral Bone Quality Score Is a Novel Reliable Index Reflecting the Condition of Paraspinal Muscles and Predicting Loss of Cervical Lordosis After Open‐Door Laminoplasty

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1406-1417, May 2025.
There is a close correlation between C‐VBQ scores and the cervical deep extensors, deep flexors, and overall paraspinal muscles relative cross‐sectional area (RCSA) and degree of fat infiltration (DFF). The C‐VBQ score is a comprehensive parameter reflecting the quality of cervical bone and paraspinal muscles.

Combine Short‐Segment Fixation and Leverage Reduction Technique to Correct Kyphotic Angle in Kümmell's Disease

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
This study introduces a leverage reduction technique with short‐segment fixation for Kümmell's disease and kyphosis deformity. This advanced approach reliably restores vertebral height, corrects kyphosis, and improves clinical outcomes. ABSTRACT Objective Kümmell disease is a prevalent spinal condition characterized by vertebral fractures and ...

The role of the paraspinal muscles in the development of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis based on surface electromyography and radiographic analysis

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background Patients with idiopathic scoliosis commonly present with an imbalance of the paraspinal muscles. However, it is unclear whether this muscle imbalance is an underlying cause or a result of idiopathic scoliosis.
