Human evolution and the obstetrical dilemma: The pelvic floor hypothesis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Human childbirth is mechanically difficult because a large‐headed, broad‐shouldered fetus must pass through a comparatively narrow, twisted bony birth canal. Traditional explanations of this “obstetrical dilemma” emphasize the role of bipedal locomotion in inhibiting the evolution of a wider, more spacious pelvis.

Differences in cervical sagittal parameters and muscular function among subjects with different cervical spine alignments: a surface electromyography-based cross-sectional study [PDF]

PeerJ
Background We analyzed cervical sagittal parameters and muscular function in different cervical kyphosis types. Methods This cross-sectional study enrolled subjects with cervical spine lordosis (cervical curvature < −4°) or degenerative cervical kyphosis

Supine‐Position Shoulder Arthroscopy Using the Anterior Portal as the Initial Approach

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Traditional shoulder arthroscopy mostly adopts the beach chair position or lateral decubitus position. Beach chair position is associated with the risk of cerebral hypoperfusion due to the vertical distance between the carotid artery and the heart, whereas lateral decubitus may induce brachial plexus palsy caused by excessive traction.

The pre-surgical role of halo-traction in patients with cervical infection associated with refractory kyphosis: a retrospective study

Scientific Reports, 2023
To minimize surgical complications and staged procedures halo-traction is often used during deformity corrections. But the use of halo-traction in the treatment of refractory cervical kyphosis secondary to infections has never been reported.

COVID‐19 Amplifies Sex‐Specific Dopamine and Glial Responses in a Parkinson's Disease Mouse Model

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Exposure to environmental agents, including viral infections, may increase Parkinson's disease (PD) susceptibility, especially in males, but the neurodegenerative risk extent of COVID‐19 remains uncertain. Objectives We investigated the plausible link between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) infection and
