Postcranial anatomy of the Miocene hippopotamoids of Toros‐Menalla, Chad
We establish a framework for the identification of postcranial remains in hippopotamoids by describing and comparing for the first time two late Miocene hippopotamoids from Toros‐Menalla, Chad (Hexaprotodon garyam, an early hippopotamid, and Libycosaurus bahri, the last African anthracothere) with the common hippopotamus.

We describe the endocranial anatomy of Metacheiromys marshi. Decrease in olfaction and eye movement control occurred through time in Pholidotamorpha and is likely linked to fossorial adaptations. The development of the orbital gyrus might be related to the evolution of myrmecophagy and the emergence of a protrusile tongue in early Pholidotamorpha ...

This study compares the biomechanical effects of three anterior fixation systems in thoracolumbar surgery—HXTL, NHXTL, and Medtronic's CD Horizon ANTERIOR. Finite element analysis evaluates stress and displacement across vertebral bodies and support structures under varying load conditions. Results indicate the HXTL system minimizes nail–rod stress yet
