Bipedalism or bipedalisms: The os coxae of StW 573
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.There has been a long debate about the possibility of multiple contemporaneous species of Australopithecus in both eastern and southern Africa, potentially exhibiting different forms of bipedal locomotion. Here, we describe the previously unreported morphology of the os coxae in the 3.67 Ma Australopithecus prometheus StW 573 from Sterkfontein Member 2

The anabolic action of intermittent parathyroid hormone on cortical bone depends partly on its ability to induce nitric oxide-mediated vasorelaxation in BALB/c mice [PDF]
, 2016 There is strong evidence that vasodilatory nitric oxide (NO) donors have anabolic effects on bone in humans. Parathyroid hormone (PTH), the only osteoanabolic drug currently approved, is also a vasodilator.

The Femoral Geometrical Measurements in Postmenopausal Turkish Women
Türk Osteoporoz Dergisi, 2002 Femoral geometric measurements have been suggested to be important in the evaluation of the risk of osteoporotic hip fracture. The aim of this study was to determine the normal values of femoral geometric measurements in Turkish women.

The osteohistology of Orthosuchus stormbergi using synchrotron radiation microcomputed tomography
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.The osteohistology of Orthosuchus stormbergi is described for the first time. The primary bone tissue was lamellar bone. It had relatively thick bone walls, possibly indicating an aquatic lifestyle. Orthosuchus was a small bodied adult reaching a maximum body mass of about 1.2 kg.

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.The paucity of small, skeletally immature individuals representing the earliest ontogenetic stages of extinct archosaurs complicates our understanding of the growth dynamics within and between species. The opportune finding of the smallest phytosaur femora reveals slow growth, a surprising signal considering that larger phytosaurs in North America have

Osteohistology of the unusually fast‐growing theropod dinosaur Ceratosaurus
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.We report the histology of multiple elements attributed to four individuals of Ceratosaurus. We find that the histology and growth models corroborate previous reports of rapid tissue growth in the genus. Abstract Ceratosaurus is a large‐bodied non‐avian theropod dinosaur known from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation of North America and is ...
