Nucleus Pulposus Resorption Following a Paraspinal Hook‐Needle Intervention for Lumbar Disc Herniation: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The paraspinal hook‐needle intervention is a minimally invasive needle‐based procedure performed under local anesthesia using a specialized hook‐shaped needle at clinically selected lumbar segments. We report the case of a 70‐year‐old woman who presented with intermittent low back pain for more than 10 years, recently aggravated and ...

Functional Morphology of the Pedal Musculature and Grip Force Estimation in the Red‑and‑Green Macaw (Ara chloropterus Gray, 1859)

Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 8, August 2026.
Integration of detailed hindlimb anatomy with biomechanical analyses demonstrates that pedal performance in the red‐and‐green macaw is driven by specialized muscle architecture and force distribution. Hypertrophy of digit IV flexor musculature, together with modifications of the intrinsic and extensor muscles, enhances grasping stability, climbing, and

Does ulnar curvature covary with locomotion and substrate use in cercopithecids?

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 383-400, August 2026.
This study investigates ulnar curvature in cercopithecids in relation to locomotor behaviors, introducing an analysis of anteroposterior and mediolateral curvature, using geometric morphometric on 167 specimens (23 species). Although the two curvatures distinguish arboreal and terrestrial quadrupeds, their moderate covariation suggests that they ...
