From sagittal to sprawled: Clavicular co‐option and the evolution of forelimb mechanics in talpines
Forelimb posture in Eulipotyphla divides into sagittal and sprawled groups with distinct scapular and clavicular orientations. First true rib strength scales with body mass, reflecting vertical ground reaction forces, whereas clavicular strength reflects differences in medially directed forces on the pectoral girdle, especially pronounced in highly ...

Arboreal signals in the skeletal proportions of the Gorilla foot
Differences in arboreal behavior among gorilla populations are correlated with the relative lengths of their pedal digital elements. Bwindi gorillas have third and fourth metatarsals relatively shorter than those of more arboreal western lowland gorillas and longer than those of more terrestrial Virunga gorillas, while hallux and proximal phalangeal ...

Nanoparticles in Periodontology and Implant Dentistry: From Mechanisms to Clinical Applications
Nanotechnology holds significant promise in improving dental care, yet there is a need for more reliable clinical studies to validate its effectiveness and safety. ABSTRACT Recent advances in nanotechnology are reshaping the landscape of periodontology and implant dentistry, particularly through the application of nanoparticles (NPs).

Emerging evidence suggests that periodontal health is not simply the absence of disease, but the result of a dynamic interaction between biological resilience, healthy lifestyles, adaptive coping mechanisms, and supportive environments. This results in a strong sense of coherence, which is not only a psychological state but also a biological state ...
