Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint
Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),

Abstract The crania of leporid lagomorphs are uniquely fenestrated, including the posterior cranial bones and the lateral portion of the maxilla. The functional significance of the highly fenestrated rostrum has received considerably little attention, despite being absent in other mammalian herbivores with a long rostrum.

Abstract Autonomic nerves are crucial in cardiac function and pathology. However, data on the distribution of cholinergic and noradrenergic nerves in normal and pathologic human hearts is lacking. Nonfailing donor hearts were pressure‐perfusion fixed, imaged, and dissected. Left ventricular cardiomyopathy samples were also obtained.

Neck‐vein thrombosis during spaceflight
Spaceflight imposes unique environmental challenges, including weightlessness, increased radiation exposure and confinement, which can lead to unexpected health effects. One such example is neck‐vein thrombosis, a condition rarely seen on Earth without predisposing factors such as venous catheters or infections.

Aim Our international cohort study assessed the comparative effectiveness and safety of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) among patients with non‐valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) using antiarrhythmic drugs. Methods Using the United Kingdom's (UK's) Clinical Practice Research Datalink Aurum and Québec claims data, we

ABSTRACT Neurological disorders represent a critical domain within global health, necessitating advanced interventions to address complex pathologies such as tumors, functional disorders, and cerebrovascular diseases. Despite the proven benefits of early intervention, current treatment paradigms face significant challenges: (1) limited precision in ...

Abstract Plasma expanders (PEs) are commonly used to replace lost blood volume for septic shock patients with increased vascular permeability. Human serum albumin (HSA) is the preferred PE, due to its innate ability to restore blood colloid osmotic pressure (COP).
