Assessing the intraspecific osteological variation in the spottail shiner (Hudsonius hudsonius) (Cypriniformes: Leuciscidae)

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Hudsonius hudsonius (Cypriniformes: Leuciscidae), commonly known as the spottail shiner, is a small cyprinoid fish species found across much of North America. H. hudsonius has traditionally been regarded as one of the most basal and plesiomorphic species among the notropin fishes, that is, fishes traditionally placed in or associated with the ...

Anatomy of spinal CSF loss in the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis)

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 4, Page 575-584, April 2025.
India ink introduced into the cranial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) compartment of Alligator diffuses along the spinal cord and exits the spinal compartment using perineural flow, resulting in a prominent “ink cuff” forming at the base of the spinal nerve. In Alligator, the region of the ink cuff is drained by a small lymphatic vessel.

Almost billfish: convergent longirostry, micro‐dentition, and possible glandular sinuses in a large teleost fish from the Upper Cretaceous of Northern Italy

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A fossil rostrum fragment of a large teleost fish from the Upper Cretaceous of Northern Italy reveals remarkable anatomical convergences with Cenozoic and Recent billfishes (marlins, swordfishes, and akin). The extinct group Plethodidae independently acquired a long snout, micro‐teeth, and oil‐gland sinuses well before the evolution of true billfishes.

Diversity and development of the hemibacula of croaking geckos (Sphaerodactylidae: Aristelliger)

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Geckos in the genus Aristelliger exhibit enigmatic mineralized elements in their hemipenes, called hemibacula. We examined hemibacula of every species of Aristelliger using μCT, clearing and staining, and histology. We found hemibacula exhibit lineage‐specific morphology, isometric growth after sexual maturity, and are composed of mineralized ...

Does Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Approach Have an Effect on Swallowing Function, Muscle Morphology and Quality of Life in Dysphagic Stroke Patients? A Randomised Controlled Trial

open access: yesJournal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the effects of different exercise methods on swallowing function in dysphagic stroke patients. Methods Forty‐two patients with dysphagia were divided into three groups: conventional swallowing exercises group; the proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) exercises + conventional swallowing exercises group and ...
