On Prophoca and Leptophoca (Pinnipedia, Phocidae) from the Miocene of the North Atlantic realm : redescription, phylogenetic affinities and paleobiogeographic implications [PDF]
Background: Prophoca and Leptophoca represent the oldest known genera of phocine seals, dating from the latest early to middle Miocene. Originally, Prophoca rousseaui and Prophoca proxima were described based on fragmentary remains from the Miocene of ...

Pleistocene hominins as a resource for carnivores. A c. 500,000-year-old human femur bearing tooth-marks in North Africa (Thomas Quarry I, Morocco) [PDF]
In many Middle Pleistocene sites, the co-occurrence of hominins with carnivores, who both contributed to faunal accumulations, suggests competition for resources as well as for living spaces.

Semi-automated stereoradiographic upper limb 3D reconstructions using a combined parametric and statistical model: a preliminary study [PDF]
PURPOSE: Quantitative assessment of 3D clinical indices may be crucial for elbow surgery planning. 3D parametric modeling from bi-planar radiographs was successfully proposed for spine and lower limb clinical investigation as an alternative for CT-scan ...

Mechanical Competence and Bone Quality Develop During Skeletal Growth. [PDF]
Bone fracture risk is influenced by bone quality, which encompasses bone's composition as well as its multiscale organization and architecture. Aging and disease deteriorate bone quality, leading to reduced mechanical properties and higher fracture ...

Biomechanical comparison of an orthogonal and parallel angle-stable interlocking nail in axial compression on a gap fracture model [PDF]
The objective was to evaluate the orthogonal locking in interlocking nails (ILN), with and without angular stability, compared to the parallel locking system, through mechanical tests of axial compression on synthetic specimens.

A study of nutrient foramina in dry adult radii of South Indian subjects
Background : Vascular insults to the radius either during fracture dislocation or during surgical correction of fracture may result in delayed healing or non-union of fracture. It is useful to find the number, location and size of nutrient foramina.

Diaphyseal osteosarcoma with varying histomorphologic patterns
Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant tumor of the skeleton involving predominantly metaphysis of the long bones. Diaphyseal osteosarcoma is a rare form, which accounts for approximately 10% of all cases of osteosarcomas.

Predicting cortical bone adaptation to axial loading in the mouse tibia [PDF]
The development of predictive mathematical models can contribute to a deeper understanding of the specific stages of bone mechanobiology and the process by which bone adapts to mechanical forces.
