Morphometric and Paleobiological Insights Into Pleistocene Sicilian Wolf Populations

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Pleistocene wolves (Canis lupus) from Sicily represent one of the few known insular populations of this species from that time period. Despite their potential relevance for understanding carnivore adaptations in insular contexts, no dedicated study has previously investigated their morphology and evolutionary significance.

An unusual presentation of osteochondrosis in the elbows and tarsi of a Friesian colt

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary This case report describes the clinical, diagnostic imaging results and post‐mortem findings in a foal that underwent reassessment following surgical management of angular limb deformities (ALD) and acute onset of gait abnormalities. Upon presentation, the foal showed an abnormal stiff gait characterised by bilateral medial limb collapse during

Prognostic factors for radial nerve palsy associated with humeral shaft fracture

Formosan Journal of Surgery, 2017
Background: Radial nerve palsy (RNP) associated with humeral shaft fracture is a common injury pattern in trauma patients. The management of RNP associated with humeral fractures in high-energy trauma is controversial and poses a challenge to surgeons ...

Ultrasonographic diagnosis of caudoproximal humeral stress fracture in thoroughbred racehorses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Humeral stress fractures in racehorses can progress to catastrophic fracture if unrecognised. Scintigraphy is the gold standard diagnostic technique but is limited by accessibility and cost. It was hypothesised that ultrasonography could be used to visualise caudoproximal humeral stress fractures. Objectives To determine the utility

Mechanical Evaluation of Suture Docking Method Versus Novel Tensegrity Suture Screw in Treating Varus Posterolateral Surrogate and Cadaveric Elbow Instability

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
Three‐point bending tests in foam and cadaveric elbows consistently showed superior performance of novel TEN elbow screws in restoring elbow instability in contrast to CON docking method. TEN increased mechanical strength, enhanced suture‐screw‐bone fixation via appropriate junctional loading, and technical ease for suture tensioning.

Design and Validation of a Novel Orthopedic Device for Enhanced Fracture Stabilization and Reduction Efficiency: A Randomized Controlled Trial With Implications for Surgical Outcomes

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
Schematic of the tool from all angles and how to use it. ABSTRACT Objective Traumatic long bone fractures require precise reduction and stable fixation to achieve optimal outcomes during open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Conventional bone‐holding instruments are often associated with prolonged operative time, increased blood loss, reliance ...
