We use computer simulations of soft tissue growth to investigate the role of simple physical deformation in the development of the postnatal human cranium. We found that simulated expansion of the model endocranial volume resulted in cranial shape changes consistent with those seen in a normative early postnatal sample, using Procrustes analyses.

Using microtomographic scans of modern human arm and forearm bones and anterior dentition, we quantified cortical bone and dentine volumes and their topographic distribution. Our results revealed a co‐variation between cortical bone and dentine volumes, suggesting shared factors influencing their postnatal development.

Why do famines still occur in the 21st Century? A review on the causes of extreme food insecurity
Abstract Why do famines persist in the 21st century, despite significant advances in agricultural productivity? Throughout human history, famines have been – and continue to be – among the harshest manifestations of destitution. They result from the exacerbation of human vulnerabilities caused by the synergistic interaction of multiple anthropogenic ...

Recent Advances in Diagnostics and Therapeutics for Paediatric Thyroid Cancer
ABSTRACT Purpose of Review Paediatric thyroid cancer management traditionally relied on extrapolation from adult data and, despite good survival outcomes, often involved extensive surgical approaches and radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy with potentially life‐long complications.

X‐Linked Hypophosphataemia and Burosumab: A Systemic Disease With a New Treatment
ABSTRACT X linked hypophosphataemia (XLH) is a systemic, chronic condition that significantly impairs quality of life. In XLH, a phosphate regulating endopeptidase homologue X‐linked (PHEX) gene mutation leads to excess fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), causing hypophosphataemia and subsequent rickets, lower limb deformity, pain and other sequelae ...

Tissue Perfusion and Biomarkers Assessment Following Root Coverage Procedures
Gingival recessions treated with a collagen matrix loaded with rhPDGF showed significantly greater early tissue perfusion compared to sites treated without the growth factor. Early tissue perfusion outcomes were correlated to the amount of root coverage and gingival thickness gain at 6 months.

Bubbles and crashes: A tale of quantiles
Periodically collapsing bubbles, if they exist, induce asymmetric dynamics in asset prices. In this article, I show that unit root quantile autoregressive models can approximate such dynamics by allowing the largest autoregressive root to take values below unity at low quantiles, which correspond to price crashes, and above unity at upper quantiles ...
