Lumbarization of the sacral vertebra
Lumbalization of the sacral vertebra, i.e. lack of fusion between the I and II sacral vertebrae, is much more common than sacralization of the V lumbar vertebra, or its synostosis with the sacrum, according to A. Lri, but so far it has usually been viewed due to inability to count vertebrae and understand the X-ray picture. Lumbarization is the lack of

Lumbar Spine Location in Fluoroscopic Images by Evidence Gathering
Low back pain (LBP) is a very common problem and lumbar segmental instability is one of the causes. It is important to investigate lumbar spine movement in order to understand instability better and as an aid to diagnosis.

Abstract Maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality have declined dramatically during the last century. Historical data are therefore important sources to study the evolutionary selection pressures related to childbirth and how they have fluctuated over time.

Scaling and ecomorphology of lagomorph body shape and appendicular skeleton
Abstract Body shape is one of the most prominent features of phenotypic variation. Yet, mammalian body shapes are poorly quantified and the underlying components contributing to its diversity and its relationship to other skeletal components are rarely tested.

A clinical and archaeological study of Schmorl’s Nodes: using clinical data to understand the past [PDF]
This study of Schmorl 's nodes in British populations past and present attempts to reach a better understanding of the origins and aetiology of Schmorl' s nodes and their impact upon the vertebral column in relation to age, sex, pre-existing skeletal ...

Human evolution and the obstetrical dilemma: The pelvic floor hypothesis
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.

Morphometric parameters and the mineral density of lumbar spine were studied in 929 people (740 women and 189 men) aged 20 - 87 years, living in Karelia. The mineral density of bone was estimated by a method of a two-power x-ray absorptiometriy.

Abstract Traversodontids are non‐mammaliaform cynodonts, herbivorous to omnivorous, that lived during the Triassic. In the Late Triassic, some members of this group increased in body size relative to other cynodont lineages and evolved postcranial adaptations associated with locomotion.
