Abstract Aim To evaluate medium‐term surgical outcomes, complications, mortality, and health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) in non‐ambulatory children with cerebral palsy (CP) and severe scoliosis, and to analyse outcomes and mortality rates in children who had not undergone surgery.

Abstract Recent molecular studies have advanced our knowledge of the taxonomic diversity and generic placement of the slender stonebashers, previously placed in the genus Hippopotamyrus, in southern Africa. These fishes were recently transferred to the genus Heteromormyrus whose range encompasses the Kwanza, Kunene, Okavango, Zambezi, Pungwe and Buzi ...

Anatomy of spinal CSF loss in the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis)
India ink introduced into the cranial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) compartment of Alligator diffuses along the spinal cord and exits the spinal compartment using perineural flow, resulting in a prominent “ink cuff” forming at the base of the spinal nerve. In Alligator, the region of the ink cuff is drained by a small lymphatic vessel.

The Impact of the Ovine Annular Lesion Model on IVD Pathobiology and Utility of the Ovine Spinal Model in Patho-Anatomical Studies: A Historical Perspective. [PDF]
The ovine annular rim‐lesion model of intervertebral disc degeneration of Osti and colleagues (1990) has evolved into a sophisticated mechanical destabilization large animal model of intervertebral disc degeneration over its 35 year history offering diverse musculoskeletal multi‐disciplinary investigations into the multifunctional complexity of this ...

The origin and evolution of air sacs in pterosaurs and their forerunners
Pneumatized pterosauromorph vertebrae and their phylogenetic context. Abstract Although the existence of postcranial pneumaticity and the inferred presence of air sacs connected to the lungs are well established in Pterosauria, the origin of this system in pterosaurs remains unclear. We investigated skeletal pneumaticity in the Triassic pterosauromorph

A suture in time: The ontogeny of cranial suture morphology in mammals
Mammal cranial sutures are important indicators of the biomechanical and developmental pressures acting upon the skull. Across three prominent sutures dividing the vault of the mammalian skull, divergent patterns emerge both taxonomically and developmentally.

PSP in early‐branching sauropodomorphs probably evolved first in the neural arches of the posterior cervical vertebrae, expanding anteriorly and posteriorly along the vertebral column. The distribution of PSP in Late Triassic early‐branching sauropodomorphs does not appear to be correlated with body size.

Aging of bone density (BV/TV) is regional: Forelimb [left] elements gain bone sporadically (orange) but hind limb elements [right] lose bone globally (blue). Abstract Globally, human population structure is quickly trending older, increasing the prevalence and systemic burden of age‐related skeletal disorders such as osteoporosis.

The junction between the midgut and hindgut co‐localizes with the rectosigmoid junction
At 5 weeks of development, the midgut has formed its primary loop (left). It is well established that the midgut is bounded cranially by the caudal end of the ventral mesentery and the presence of the common bile duct, but its caudal boundary remains to be established.

Fiber structure of the interosseous sacroiliac ligament exhibits a distinct organization, with predominantly vertical fibers in the inferior region and predominantly horizontal fibers in the superior region. These fiber alignment patterns likely reflect mechanical adaptation to the sacroiliac joint motion and may support imaging‐based evaluation of its
