Let's Talk About Bone Cylinders. Taphonomy of Carnivores and Humans
International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.ABSTRACTBone cylinders are a distinctive structure predominantly produced by durophagous carnivoran species during the consumption of long bones, in which the diaphyseal canal remains intact while both epiphyses are removed or consumed. This study evaluates the significance of this morphology, traditionally attributed to extant and extinct hyena ...

Modelling compressive loading in large-bodied mammals reveals distinct biomechanical strategies in proboscidean humeri. [PDF]
J AnatGraviportal proboscideans differ in limb morphology, adopting slender or more robust long bone morphotypes. Finite element analyses (FEA) on extant and extinct taxa reveal functional differences between morphotypes, with robust humeri exhibiting lower peak stress under neutral and off‐axis loading.

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT To investigate oral health in the fragmented human remains from the Punic necropolis of Monte Luna, Sardinia, and evaluate what dental pathologies reveal about lifeways and diet. Human remains from 227 individuals recovered from 70 tombs were analyzed, including 21 females, 16 males (> 15 years), and 59 non‐adults (1–15 years).

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The early evolutionary history of modern domestic horses (Equus caballus/Equus ferus caballus), known as the DOM2 lineage, is well documented due to numerous archaeological and ancient DNA (aDNA) studies. Although many uncertainties remain in the domestication timeline, current evidence suggests that the domestication of modern horses began in

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objectives Partial gene duplications (PGDups) are a significant contributor to genetic disease. The precise genomic location and structure of PGDups are often unresolved using conventional methods, so prenatal diagnosis for PGDups is challenging, especially without ultrasound abnormalities.

Herbal Therapeutics in Osteoporosis: Mechanisms, Evidence, and Translational Potential
Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.Schematic overview of bone remodeling dysregulation in osteoporosis and the multi‐target protective role of herbal therapeutics. ABSTRACT Osteoporosis is a chronic bone disease marked by reduced density and increased fracture risk. Current treatments face limitations in safety, efficacy, and long‐term adherence, prompting interest in alternative ...

A Rare Cause of Shoulder Pain: Monostotic Fibrous Dysplasia
The Turkish Journal of Gastroenterology, 2016 Fibrous dysplasia is a rare bone disease which has a wide spectrum of symptoms depending on the involvement area such as pain, deformity, fracture, dyspnea or visual loss. One of the rare involvement areas is the bones around the shoulder.

Reducing unnecessary osteoporosis treatment in prostate cancer with FRAX‐BMD integration
UroPrecision, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Men on androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer frequently develop osteoporosis, and up to 20% fracture within five years. The Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) estimates 10‐year fracture probability with or without bone mineral density (BMD), but data in this population are scarce.
