Morphological variation in atlas and axis of Neotropical spiny rats (Rodentia, Echimyidae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The unique morphologies of the first two cervical vertebrae, the atlas and axis, represent a significant innovation in mammalian evolution. These structures support the weight of the head and enable intricate movements of the head and neck.

Liver transplantation in primary biliary cirrhosis: Risk assessment and 11-year follow-up [PDF]

, 2000
Background/Aims: Liver transplantation (LTx) is the only established treatment in patients with end-stage primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). Although short-term survival after LTx in this group of patients is usually good, few data exist on the long-term ...

Does salinity make a difference—Kidney anatomy of Saimaa (Pusa saimensis) and Baltic ringed seals (Pusa hispida botnica)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract As habitat salinity markedly differs between the endangered, freshwater‐dwelling Saimaa ringed seal (Pusa saimensis Nordquist, 1899) and the brackish water‐inhabiting Baltic ringed seal (Pusa hispida botnica Gmelin, 1788), we investigated whether this difference has resulted in morphological changes to their kidneys.

Evaluation of radiography as a screening method for detection and characterisation of congenital vertebral malformations in dogs [PDF]

, 2018
Congenital vertebral malformations (CVM) are common in brachycephalic ‘screw-tailed’ dogs; they can be associated with neurological deficits and a genetic predisposition has been suggested.

Patterns of spinal motion, kinematic spaces and the land‐to‐sea transition in carnivorans

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Using 3D reconstructions, we quantify intervertebral joint mobility to investigate how cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebral regions evolved distinct kinematic roles in pinnipeds. The findings reveal lineage‐specific adaptations for swimming and highlight the functional significance of vertebral joint flexibility in ecological transitions.

Romosozumab and Denosumab Combination Therapy After Denosumab in Postmenopausal Osteoporosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Transition from long‐term denosumab (Dmab) to parathyroid hormone‐analogs or romosozumab (Romo) might expose patients to the risk of the so‐called rebound phenomenon. Adding Romo to Dmab might represent an option in patients experiencing a fracture while on Dmab.

Biologic and Targeted Synthetic Disease‐Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs Do Not Arrest Bone Loss in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Long‐Term Multicenter Observational Study

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Osteoporosis causes fractures that further increase the disease burden of rheumatoid arthritis (RA); however, osteoporosis treatment rates remain low. Although several studies have reported that biologic or targeted synthetic disease‐modifying antirheumatic drugs (b/tsDMARDs) can prevent or improve osteoporosis in RA, our large‐scale, real ...

Quantitative Analysis of Osteoporotic Vertebral Fracture Risk on Pre-Existing CT

Haseki Tıp Bülteni, 2019
Aim:Recent research has shown that the measurement of vertebrae bone density on computed tomography for diagnosis of osteoporosis is associated with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. Our aim was to compare vertebra bone density on pre-existing CT images (

Novel application of gamification to support undergraduate anatomy: Student perceptions and performance

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Anatomy is a foundational component of various medical and paramedical disciplines. Existing research has suggested that games or game elements can improve student interest in musculoskeletal (MSK) anatomy. This project builds on previous gamification and serious game work and incorporates new anatomy‐based games into undergraduate anatomy ...
