Muscle morphology and intramuscular fat after treatment‐as‐usual including botulinum neurotoxin A injections in children with cerebral palsy

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Normalized muscle volume remained unchanged in all evaluated muscles after the 12‐month treatment‐as‐usual in children with cerebral palsy. Higher intramuscular fat fraction was observed in the medial gastrocnemius, suggesting concurrent intramuscular fat infiltration.

Muscle architecture of the medial gastrocnemius during growth

Journal of Physiological Anthropology
Background Muscle architecture is closely related to muscle function. Increased knowledge of growth changes in muscle architecture will provide insights into the development of human movements and sports performance during the growth period.

A newly discovered Carolingian text: Candidus' Liber testimoniorum veteris testamenti, written for Charlemagne

Early Medieval Europe, EarlyView.
This article presents a newly discovered Latin text: a theological treatise titled Liber testimoniorum veteris testamenti that was written by Alcuin’s friend Candidus (Wizo) at the request of Charlemagne. By discussing selected passages from the Heptateuch, Candidus seeks to demonstrate that Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, thus the whole Christian ...

Melanoma and Other Melanistic Lesions in Brown Bullhead Ameiurus nebulosus From Waterbodies in the Northeastern United States and Canada: Identification of Risk Factors

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Melanistic lesions, including non‐raised black areas due to proliferations of melanocytes and melanomacrophages in the dermis and epidermis, as well as raised black areas consistent with melanoma, are described in brown bullhead (BBH) Ameiurus nebulosus from three water bodies in the northeastern United States and Quebec, Canada.

Feasibility of magnetic resonance imaging manual segmentation of human intercostal muscles: a morphological analysis approach

Frontiers in Musculoskeletal Disorders
BackgroundIntercostal muscles (ICM) are essential for thoracic stability and respiratory mechanics. In musculoskeletal disorders and respiratory dysfunction, alterations in ICM structure and function may contribute to impaired ventilatory performance and

Scratching beneath the surface: Quantification of muscle architecture and myosin heavy chain content in the forelimbs of black‐tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys, Rodentia)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Black‐tailed prairie dogs are highly social ground squirrels that excavate communal burrow systems, most often in medium‐textured soils. Their forelimbs demonstrate morphofunctional trade‐offs for scratch‐digging and terrestrial ecology, including well‐developed and fast‐contracting proximal musculature with large mechanical advantage paired with ...

Anatomical description of the jaw muscles and theoretical bite force assessment in South American opossums using manual and digital dissection methods

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Manual and virtual dissections were employed to examine the masticatory muscle architecture and bite force of three South American marsupials. The organisation of the muscles differed between species, with predicted bite forces exceeding previous estimates.

The pectoralis muscle orientation as an indicator of the modes of wing‐propelled locomotion in birds

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The pectoralis orientation of birds was consistent with the orientation of the aerodynamic force acting on the wing, varying by wing‐propelled locomotion (WPL) mode. The skeletal morphology unique to each WPL mode, related to the origin/insertion of the pectoralis, may be associated with these functional demands of pectoralis orientation.

Multiscale analysis of the adult human superior hypogastric plexus and hypogastric nerve

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Using tissue clearing and light‐sheet microscopy methods, we visualized the 3D mesoscopic arrangement of neural tracts, blood vessels and neurons within the adult human superior hypogastric plexus and hypogastric nerves, identifying the latter to contain thousands of neuronal cells bodies embedded along its entire length.
