From sagittal to sprawled: Clavicular co‐option and the evolution of forelimb mechanics in talpines

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Forelimb posture in Eulipotyphla divides into sagittal and sprawled groups with distinct scapular and clavicular orientations. First true rib strength scales with body mass, reflecting vertical ground reaction forces, whereas clavicular strength reflects differences in medially directed forces on the pectoral girdle, especially pronounced in highly ...

Skeletons of swiftly swimming sharks: Three‐dimensional analysis of lamniform vertebral morphology and mineral architecture

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We examined morphology, 3D arrangement, and mineral amount in cartilaginous vertebrae from four lamniform shark families (Alopiidae, Carchariidae, Cetorhinidae, and Lamnidae). We identified family‐specific mineralization trends, and regional patterning of structures along the column.

Arboreal signals in the skeletal proportions of the Gorilla foot

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Differences in arboreal behavior among gorilla populations are correlated with the relative lengths of their pedal digital elements. Bwindi gorillas have third and fourth metatarsals relatively shorter than those of more arboreal western lowland gorillas and longer than those of more terrestrial Virunga gorillas, while hallux and proximal phalangeal ...

Effects of Aerobic Exercise and Strength Training on Nociplastic Pain and Clinical Features in Temporomandibular Disorders With Myalgia: A Randomized‐Controlled Trial

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
In this randomized controlled trial, adding aerobic exercise or strength training to physical therapy improved outcomes in patients with temporomandibular disorders and nociplastic pain. Aerobic exercise produced greater reductions in pain and central sensitization‐related symptoms, whereas strength training improved trapezius muscle strength and long ...

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy for Feeding and Swallowing in Children From Four to 12 Years: What Does the Evidence Show? A Systematic Review

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
This systematic review evaluated the effectiveness of orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT) for improving feeding and swallowing outcomes in children aged 4–12 years. Searches of four databases identified 17 studies, all reporting positive feeding and/or swallowing outcomes, including improved eating and swallowing skills, orofacial muscle function and

Effects of Clenching Intensity and Duration on Pressure Pain Threshold and Masseter‐Muscle Stiffness Under Standardised EMG‐Based Contraction Exposure

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Under equivalent prescribed EMG‐based contraction exposure, pressure pain threshold was modestly but significantly lower immediately after low‐intensity, long‐duration clenching than after high‐intensity, short‐duration clenching, whereas the latter induced a transient reduction in masseter‐muscle stiffness.

Differences in Tongue Muscle Activity During Chewing of Rice With Various Textures

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
During chewing, tongue muscle activity increased in the late stage for softer, wetter and more cohesive boluses, showing a pattern distinct from the masseter and suprahyoid muscles. These findings suggest that tongue muscle activity is modulated according to bolus properties and may contribute to bolus gathering, shaping and transport.

Equilibrium Reward for Liquidity Providers in Automated Market Makers

Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We find the equilibrium contract that an automated market maker (AMM) offers to their strategic liquidity providers (LPs) in order to maximize the order flow that gets processed by the venue. Our model is formulated as a leader–follower stochastic game, where the venue is the leader and a representative LP is the follower.
