Redescription of the cranial morphology of Amphisbaena braestrupi and Amphisbaena laurenti (Squamata: Amphisbaenidae) from the Pleistocene of Brazil using x‐ray computed tomography

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Amphisbaenians (Squamata: Amphisbaenidae) are fossorial reptiles with highly specialized cranial morphology, yet their fossil record is frequently limited by fragmentary preservation. This study provides a detailed osteological redescription of the skulls of Amphisbaena braestrupi and Amphisbaena laurenti from the Pleistocene of Lagoa Santa ...

First Record of Tasmanian Devils in the Pilbara: Late Quaternary Subfossils From Juukan Gorge, Puutu Kunti Kurrama Country, and Insights Into Human—Faunal Relationships and Extinction

open access: yesArchaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents the first unequivocal evidence for the presence of Tasmanian devils (Sarcophilus harrisii) in the Pilbara region of northwestern Australia, based on material recovered from archaeological excavations at Juukan Gorge on Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura country.

Structural Allograft Reconstruction for Chronic Proximal Hamstring Avulsion Yields Significant Functional Improvement, Acceptable Satisfaction, but Limited Return to Preinjury Sport Levels

open access: yesArthroscopy, EarlyView.
Purpose To evaluate midterm outcomes of structural allograft reconstruction in patients with chronic proximal hamstring avulsion injuries. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study (minimum 2‐year follow‐up) including patients who underwent allograft surgical reconstruction for proximal hamstring avulsion injuries between 2016 and 2023. The primary

High‐Resolution Deep Learning Dixon Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Sacroiliac Joints Is Noninferior to Standard Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients With Suspected Axial Spondyloarthritis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective To compare the multisequence standard magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) protocol of the sacroiliac joints with a single high‐resolution deep learning–reconstructed Dixon sequence (DL‐Dixon) in patients with suspected axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). Methods Seventy‐six patients with chronic low back pain and suspected axSpA underwent clinical,

Higher Complement C4 Gene Copy Number Constitutes a Shared Genetic Risk Factor for Giant Cell Arteritis and IgA Vasculitis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Low copy number (CN) of complement C4 isoforms and high CN of retroviral HERV‐K elements are known risk factors for many immune‐mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), often showing sex‐biased effects. Here, we assessed whether CN variation within the C4 gene contributes to giant cell arteritis (GCA) and IgA vasculitis (IgAV), two complex ...

Early diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis is associated with less long‐term spinal structural damage: a longitudinal analysis of the Swiss Clinical Quality Management in rheumatic diseases registry

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objectives The Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society recently defined early axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) as a duration ≤2 years of axial symptoms. Previous studies have shown no significant difference in short‐term outcomes between early and established axSpA patients treated with biologic/targeted synthetic disease‐modifying anti ...

Immersive virtual reality as a teaching tool in neuroanatomy: A scoping review

open access: yesAnatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Basic core courses in various undergraduate programs, such as neuroanatomy, pose a challenge for students due to the large volume and complexity of the content. In this context, educational technologies such as immersive virtual reality (IVR), which allow students to actively interact with learning materials, offer a complementary pedagogical ...

Performance improvement of discrete‐time linear‐quadratic regulators applied to uncertain linear systems using the Tikhonov regularization method

open access: yesAsian Journal of Control, EarlyView.
Abstract The linear‐quadratic regulator (LQR) problem of optimal control of an uncertain discrete‐time linear system (DTLS) is revisited in this paper from the perspective of Tikhonov regularization. We show that an optimally chosen regularization parameter reduces, compared to the classical LQR, the values of a scalar error function, as well as the ...

Unintegrated Gluon Distributions as Probability Densities for QCD Dynamical Entropy

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present a systematic procedure for constructing normalized transverse momentum probability distributions from phenomenological unintegrated gluon distributions (UGDs). These distributions provide the probabilistic foundation of the QCD dynamical entropy formalism and can be employed in the evaluation of other statistical observables.

Quality of Life in Autism: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Patients and Caregivers

open access: yesAutism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition associated with significant challenges in daily functioning and well‐being. Caregivers often experience substantial psychological and physical burden. However, comprehensive synthesis of quality of life (QoL) outcomes for both individuals with ASD and their caregivers ...
