The “costly son” hypothesis: Sons exacerbate obstetrical dilemmas in humans and other mammals
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Human childbirth has often been considered uniquely difficult among mammals, yet recent evidence suggests that obstructed labor and fetopelvic disproportion are widespread across placental mammals. Here, we propose the “costly son” hypothesis: because male offspring are typically larger at birth, they impose greater obstetric risk on mothers ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract All infant mammals must suckle in order to effectively acquire milk from a nipple. Yet, not all infants are able to do so. Preterm infants in particular face significant feeding challenges, often failing to establish successful breastfeeding due to complex neurophysiologic challenges.

The impact of maternal obesity and gestational diabetes mellitus on adipose tissue and placental derived adipocytokines [PDF]
Pregnancy; a natural insulin resistant state; becomes exaggerated when complicated by obesity and gestational diabetes (GDM). Both obesity and GDM are associated with severe maternal and fetal complications as well as with increased risks of obesity ...

Human digital Meissner's corpuscles are not doubly innervated
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Recent studies have shown that murine and avian Meissner‐like corpuscles are innervated by two distinct mechanoreceptor afferents with different functional properties. In addition, there is evidence that one subpopulation of Meissner corpuscles of monkeys is doubly innervated by mechanoreceptors and nociceptors.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Meissner corpuscles are rapidly adapting mechanoreceptors involved in tactile discrimination in human glabrous hand skin. Detailed information on their regional distribution and variation across age, sex, and hand side remains limited. This study mapped Meissner corpuscles in 17 phalangeal and palmar regions from 46 individuals (27 male and 19
