Bending performance changes during prolonged canine eruption in saber‐toothed carnivores: A case study of Smilodon fatalis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The canine of saber‐toothed predators represents one of the most specialized dental structures known. Hypotheses about the function of hypertrophied canines range from display and conspecific interaction, soft food processing, to active prey acquisition.

Estimating Spectral Effects of Absorbing Aerosols on Backscattered UV Radiation

Earth and Space Science, Volume 9, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract We examine the spectral effects of tropospheric absorbing aerosol types on backscattered UV radiation from 300 to 400 nm. First, using satellite observations, we show a non‐linear spectral dependence below 340 nm for scenes with significant aerosol absorption.

Growing sabers: Mandibular shape and biomechanical performance trajectories during the ontogeny of Smilodon fatalis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The evolution of organisms can be studied through the lens of developmental systems, as the timing of development of morphological features is an important aspect to consider when studying a phenotype. Such data can be challenging to obtain in fossil amniotes owing to the scarcity of their fossil record. However, the numerous remains of Rancho

Variability of jaw muscles in Tunisian street dogs and adaptation to skull shape

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The impact of artificial selection on the masticatory apparatus of dogs has been poorly studied, and comparative data with dogs subjected to more natural constraints are lacking. This study explores the jaw musculature of Tunisian street dogs, which are largely free from the influence of breed‐specific selection.

Comparative and functional anatomy of masticatory muscles and bite force in opossums (Didelphimorphia, Didelphidae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
We describe the functional anatomy of masticatory muscles in nine opossums, finding a generalized anatomical pattern with differences related to skull morphology. Variation in quantitative myological data and estimated bite force was mostly related to size, and the increase in bite force supports dietary diversification associated with size increase ...

Attitudes to Pregnancy, Childbirth and Postnatal Complications in Medieval English Miracula

Gender &History, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract This article re‐examines the evidence about childbirth and related topics in the posthumous miracle collections of English saints. It finds forty‐eight such miracles in collections of thirteen English saints, mostly from the century or so after 1170. The article argues that the context in which the stories were composed is vitally important to

Topical Mupirocin Treatment Reduces Interferon and Myeloid Signatures in Cutaneous Lupus Erythematous Lesions Through Targeting of Staphylococcus Species

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) is an inflammatory skin manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus. Type I interferons (IFNs) promote inflammatory responses and are elevated in CLE lesions. We recently reported that CLE lesions are frequently colonized with Staphylococcus aureus.

Sustained Interferon Signature Suppression With Anifrolumab in a Patient With STING‐Associated Vasculopathy with Onset in Infancy Refractory to JAK Inhibitor and Dazukibart Therapy

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The objective was to report the safety and efficacy of an anti‐IFNAR1 antibody (anifrolumab) in a patient with STING‐associated vasculopathy with onset in infancy (SAVI) who presented with vasculitic ulcers and systemic inflammation refractory to JAK inhibition (JAKi) and to the interferon‐β–neutralizing monoclonal antibody dazukibart ...

Listening to Hong Kong children's perspectives through pretend play

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Quality in early childhood education and care (ECEC) has become an increasing concern in recent years. The issue has been regularly discussed by different stakeholders. However, the rising concern regarding quality in ECEC has not seriously taken into account children's perspectives.
