Isometric exercise for knee osteoarthritis: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Asian Journal of SurgeryKnee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common degenerative disease that severely affects patients' quality of life and imposes a heavy economic burden. Exercise therapy is widely applied due to its minor side effects and significant efficacy. Isometric exercise,

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Saber‐tooths, extinct apex predators with long and blade‐like upper canines, have appeared iteratively at least five times in the evolutionary history of vertebrates. Although saber‐tooths exhibit a relatively diverse range of morphologies, it is widely accepted that all killed their prey using the same predatory behavior. In this study, we CT‐

Myological and osteological approaches to gape and bite force reconstruction in Smilodon fatalis
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Masticatory gape and bite force are important behavioral and ecological variables. While much has been written about the highly derived masticatory anatomy of Smilodon fatalis, there remains a great deal of debate about their masticatory behaviors.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Invasive gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) have replaced the native red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) across much of Great Britain over the last century. Several factors have been proposed to underlie this replacement, but here we investigated the potential for dietary competition in which gray squirrels have better feeding performance than ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) is widely applied for inferring diet in vertebrates. Besides diet and ingesta properties, factors like wear stage and bite force may affect microwear formation, potentially leading to tooth position‐specific microwear patterns.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Diet is one of a limited set of key ecological parameters defining primate species. A detailed understanding of dental functional correlates with primate diet is a key component for accurate dietary inference in fossil primates. Although considerable effort has been devoted to understanding post‐canine dental function, incisor function remains

Frontiers in Physiology, 2013 Limitations of current methods: The assessment of human variability in various compartments of daily energy expenditure (EE) under standardized conditions is well defined at rest (as basal metabolic rate and thermic effect of feeding), and currently ...
