Bite force estimates and morphological correlations of jaw muscles in parrots

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Parrots (Order: Psittaciformes) are renowned for their high bite force (BF) and morphological correlates thereof, including a highly mobile skull and two unique mandibular adductor muscles—m. pseudomasseter and m. ethmomandibularis, with the former being hypothesized to increase force output.

Increase in plant productivity in the tundra in Sweden is not related to increasing presence of warm‐adapted vascular plant species

Ecography, EarlyView.
Over the past decades, Arctic and alpine biomes have warmed faster than the global average. Substantial vegetation changes have been reported as a response to this warming, including increased productivity and the spread of warm‐adapted (thermophilic) species that are less resistant to grazing pressure into higher latitudes and altitudes.

Combined radiofrequency and topical exosomes in atrophic vulvar lichen sclerosus: A case report

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Vulvar lichen sclerosus (VLS) is a chronic inflammatory dermatological‐gynecological condition. Conventional first‐line treatment comprises topical corticosteroids; however, many patients remain refractory. Energy‐based devices, including radiofrequency (RF), have shown promising results in VLS, with symptomatic and functional improvement ...

Assessment and management of dyspareunia in peri‐ and postmenopausal women: A phenotype‐based gynecologic approach

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Dyspareunia in peri‐ and postmenopausal women is common, clinically consequential, and often undertreated in gynecologic practice.
