Unravelling the Genetic Mechanisms of Litter Traits in a Maternal Line of Pigs

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reproductive traits related to litter size are the main indicators of reproductive efficiency in pig production and are continuously evaluated for the selection of maternal lines. Several environmental and genetic factors are involved with the development of these traits.

Rigidity of foot deformity in congenital clubfoot: foot stiffness index

Russian Journal of Pediatric Surgery, Anesthesia and Intensive Care
BACKGROUND: A unified system for assessing the severity of congenital clubfoot in newborns and young children worldwide remains to be established. “Rigidity” of foot deformity refers to the degree of “resistance” of foot tissues during manual correction of elements of the deformity and is often used in subjective severity of foot deformity assessment ...

Rehabilitation in Cases of Maxillary Lateral Incisor Agenesis Using Zirconia Implant and Abutment: Finite Element Analysis and Systematic Review

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The use of narrow‐diameter implants has emerged as a strategy to compensate for the reduced bone dimensions of maxillary lateral incisor agenesis (MLIA). This study integrates finite element analysis (FEA) and systematic review (SR) to assess the biomechanical and clinical viability of implant‐supported crowns in MLIA scenarios ...

The tympanic covering layer contributes to basilar membrane elasticity potentially influencing human frequency resolution and speech perception

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
In this study we show for the first time that the human basilar membrane contains elastin produced by the so‐called tympanic covering layer. It is believed to play an important functional role in human cochlear tuning, particularly low frequencies linked to our remarkable speech and music perception.

Of Carcasses and Christ: Rereading the Repugnant Ecological Other

Journal of Religious Ethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This essay claims that a collection of hunting and fishing devotionals provincializes a common trope in environmental literatures: the figure of the repugnantly anti‐ecological conservative Protestant. A close reading of these texts reveals their authors’ and ideal audiences’ extensive knowledge of land and animal minds, which deflates their ...

Segmental Kinematic Analysis of Planovalgus Feet during Walking in Children with Cerebral Palsy [PDF]

, 2017
Pes planovalgus (flatfoot) is a common deformity among children with cerebral palsy. The Milwaukee Foot Model (MFM), a multi-segmental kinematic foot model, which uses radiography to align the underlying bony anatomy with reflective surface markers, was ...

Changes in Lower Limb Axial Alignment, Gait Biomechanics, and Plantar Force in Crowe Type IV Hip Dysplasia After Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Mean Ten‐Year Follow‐Up Retrospective Cohort Study

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
This is the first study to examine the global alignment of the hip, knee, ankle, and lower limb after total hip arthroplasty in DDH Crowe type IV patients with a follow‐up period of more than 10 years. This is also the first study of its kind (as far as we know) in which both the unaffected and the affected sides were monitored, and full normalization ...

Genetic Diagnoses Among Congenital Anomaly Cases in Europe: Data From the EUROCAT Network

Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Surveillance of congenital anomaly prevalence over time can identify new teratogens. Anomalies with a genetic cause are excluded from the monitoring. Objectives We examined temporal changes in the proportion of genetic diagnoses among cases with a congenital anomaly.
