Twin pregnancies and the limits of the energetics of gestation and growth hypothesis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The “Energetics of Gestation and Growth” (EGG) hypothesis proposes that human birth timing and the associated secondary altriciality of human newborns is determined by limits in maternal metabolic capacity. According to this model, labor is triggered when the increasing fetal energy requirements exceed the expectant mother's maximum sustained ...

The 9+ month marathon: How pregnancy may have shaped human endurance capacities

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Anthropology has long considered the evolution of our uniquely human endurance capacities to be the result of selection upon anatomical and physiological features imposed by the demands of thermoregulation and resource acquisition, particularly during the demands of persistence hunting. Research has focused on the anatomical changes present in

Bridging the Gaps between Microplastics and Human Health

Microplastics
Given the broad and intense use of plastic, society is being increasingly affected by its degradation and by-products, particularly by microplastics (MPs), fragments smaller than 5 mm in size, and nanoplastics (NPs), with sizes less than 1 µm.

The fossil record stays silent: Confusions and conundrums for hominin pelvis evolution

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The evolution of the hominin pelvis is commonly modeled as a series of stages driven largely by the requirements of bipedal locomotion, reproduction, thermoregulation, and pelvic floor muscular support. These patterns are complicated by variation in canal dimensions in relationship with different changes in overall pelvic breadths. To quantify

The mechanism of labor in nonhuman primates: A look inside

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract While in humans, the flexed position of the fetus and its rotating course down the birth canal are well documented, in other primates the mechanism of labor is unknown. Despite the lack of comparative data, it is commonly assumed that the human obstetric mechanism is unique, and anthropologists have disputed when and why the transition to the ...

Developmental differences in cortical bone structure in chimpanzee and human femora reflect early locomotor independence in humans

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The cortical bone structure of long bone diaphyses changes throughout growth via skeletal modeling and has important implications for bone strength and structural integrity. Ontogenetic trends in diaphyseal structure have been identified in both chimpanzees and humans but it is not yet clear how these trends compare given notable differences ...

Increased Risk of Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy in Women With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Exposed to Azathioprine

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective To evaluate the risk of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) in azathioprine (AZA)–exposed versus unexposed systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) pregnancies within the multicenter prospective Lupus in Pregnancy (LEGACY) cohort. Methods LEGACY is conducted at Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics in Canada, South Korea, Peru,

British National Formulary Guidance on prescribing in pregnancy: A descriptive cross‐sectional study

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim To assess how well pregnancy‐specific guidance within the British National Formulary supports healthcare professionals to facilitate safe and effective medication use. Methods We performed a manifest content analysis of the text of all pregnancy sections within British National Formulary drug monographs, with inductive and iterative coding.

Pregnancy‐related effect on elexacaftor, tezacaftor and ivacaftor pharmacokinetics in women with cystic fibrosis

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim The number of pregnancies among women with cystic fibrosis (wwCF) has steadily increased over the past decade. However, the pharmacokinetics (PK) of elexacaftor–tezacaftor–ivacaftor (ETI) during gestation remains uncharacterized, despite its widespread use in this population.

Monitoring pharmacodynamic and molecular drug targets in liquid biopsy: Exploratory study in liver cancer with modelling of EGFR Receptor engagement

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Liquid biopsy is minimally invasive (compared with tissue biopsy) and has previously been used to generate systems data regarding drug elimination via hepatic enzymes and transporters. This study extends quantitative assessment of systems parameters in liquid biopsy to pharmacodynamic (PD) and disease markers relevant to cancer development
