The lower jaw of Devonian ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii): Anatomy, relationships, and functional morphology. [PDF]
Abstract Actinopterygii is a major extant vertebrate group, but limited data are available for its earliest members. Here we investigate the morphology of Devonian actinopterygians, focusing on the lower jaw. We use X‐ray computed tomography (XCT) to provide comprehensive descriptions of the mandibles of 19 species, which span the whole of the Devonian

Surgical Treatment of Coronoid Fracture With Elbow Varus Posteromedial Rotatory Instability: An Instructional Review. [PDF]
Schematic drawings for the mechanism of elbow varus posteromedial rotatory instability. ABSTRACT Varus posteromedial rotatory instability (VPMRI) of the elbow is one of the complex elbow instability. The primary sites of injury encompass fractures of the anteromedial coronoid process and injuries to the lateral collateral ligament of the elbow.

Lungfish-like antero-labial tooth addition and amphibian-like enameloid-enamel transition in the coronoid of a Devonian stem actinopterygian. [PDF]
The tooth patterning logic, which cannot be inferred from surface morphology, is revealed by visualizing buried tooth remnants in 3D. The primary teeth are added labially, initially organized in radial rows, which transition into linear rows where the coronoid becomes slender.

Expanding Chemistry of Expanded Helicenes. [PDF]
This review presents recent advances in the chemistry of expanded helicenes, defined as helicenes containing linearly fused benzene rings, as novel aromatic compounds. This review begins with a summary of their structural classification, followed by the synthesis, structures, properties, and chiroptical performance of expanded helicenes of various ...

Aristonectes quiriquinensis, sp. nov., a new highly derived elasmosaurid from the upper Maastrichtian of central Chile [PDF]
This paper describes a new species of elasmosaurid plesiosaur, Aristonectes quiriquinensis, sp. nov., based on a partial skeleton recovered from upper Maastrichtian beds of the Quiriquina Formation of central Chile.

Biomechanical Research of Three Parallel Cannulated Compression Screws in Oblique Triangle Configuration for Fixation of Femoral Neck Unstable Fractures. [PDF]
In this study, 20 fourth‐generation Sawbone femurs were used to evaluate the fixation mechanics of two screw space configurations (OTC triangle configuration and IETC inverted equilateral triangle configuration) for femoral neck fractures. During the experiment, static load test and cyclic load test were carried out on FNF specimens after internal ...

Abstract The Late Cretaceous witnessed numerous transgression–regression sequences and the onset of a global cooling phase at the start of the Campanian. In the European archipelago, these environmental changes, combined with active plate tectonics, facilitated the formation of ephemeral land bridges that served as dispersal routes for a variety of ...

Anatomical Variations of the Temporalis Muscle: A Magnetic Resonance Imaging–Based Study
Introduction The temporalis muscle is a key masticatory muscle involved in jaw movement, specifically in the elevation and retraction of the mandible. This muscle has a complex anatomical structure, which includes both superficial and deep layers that are vital for its function.

The calcified chondroid mesenchymal neoplasm (CCMN) was first recognized as a distinct pathologic entity in 2021 at the University of Washington, and fewer than 100 cases of CCMN have been described in the literature. The CCMN tumor is characterized by the presence of chondroid matrix elements with an FN1–receptor TK gene fusion. CCMNs frequently arise
