Bridging the Late Antique Gap in Northwest Arabia: New Archaeological Evidence on the Occupation of Wādī al‐Qurā (al‐ʿUlā [AlUla], Saudi Arabia) Between the Third and Seventh Centuries CE

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 2019, the Dadan Archaeological Project (CNRS/RCU/AFALULA) identified a Late Antique village 1 km south of ancient Dadan in the al‐ʿUlā valley (northwest Saudi Arabia). Three excavation seasons at this site (2021–2023) have uncovered a massive building constructed in the late third or early fourth cent.

MRI‐based, 3D analysis of Achilles tendon longitudinal strain under passive loading reveals limitations in conventional 2D measurement

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Graphical overview of 2D and 3D length measurements of the free Achilles tendon. The figure also illustrates how the typical distal morphology of the soleus muscle affects 2D measurement. Abstract Quantifying strain in the free Achilles tendon (ATF) is essential for understanding its mechanical function, yet existing in vivo studies report inconsistent

Comparative functional morphological study of the tarsal joint mobility in artiodactyls and perissodactyls in light of astragalar morphological differences

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study investigated how variations in the shape of the astragalus affect tarsal joint behavior, using CT scans. In artiodactyls with a double‐pulley astragalus, the calcaneus shifted plantarly during plantarflexion. This suggests the movement increases hindlimb functional length and contributes to enhanced running speed.

Postcranial anatomy of the Miocene hippopotamoids of Toros‐Menalla, Chad

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We establish a framework for the identification of postcranial remains in hippopotamoids by describing and comparing for the first time two late Miocene hippopotamoids from Toros‐Menalla, Chad (Hexaprotodon garyam, an early hippopotamid, and Libycosaurus bahri, the last African anthracothere) with the common hippopotamus.

Microanatomical features of bovids long bones: What are the effects of mass and habitat?

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study provides the first qualitative and quantitative exploration of inter‐bones and interspecific variations in the microanatomy of long bones in bovids in response to significant changes in body mass and habitat. Abstract Bovids are a valuable group for studying limb long bone adaptations due to differences in size and the environment that the ...

How do forelimb long bones adapt in rhinoceroses? An in‐depth examination of their microanatomy

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Here, we study the bone structure in the forelimb long bones of the five extant species of rhinoceroses. By combining traditional description of virtual sections made on the bones (A) with in‐depth cartographies of the variation of bone compactness and anisotropy (B), we show how bone tissue can adapt to extreme forces and constraints in the second ...

Functional morphology and biomechanics of the locomotor apparatus in the large Late Triassic carnivore Postosuchus kirkpatricki (Archosauria: Rauisuchidae)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A three‐dimensional model is used to analyze the locomotor biomechanics of the large Late Triassic archosaurian reptile Postosuchus kirkpatricki. The study finds that it is more uncertain than previously concluded whether it was quadrupedal or bipedal, and plantigrade or digitigrade, but it clearly had locomotor specializations including large hindlimb

Modified cranial closing wedge ostectomy in 169 stifles: considerations on potential factors associated with construct failures

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate risk factors for construct failure in dogs undergoing unilateral modified cranial closing wedge ostectomy for cranial cruciate ligament disease. Materials and Methods Hospital and radiographic data were collected retrospectively.

Evaluation for radiographic changes in the coxofemoral joint and proximal femur following intramedullary stabilisation of diaphyseal femoral fractures using angle‐stable interlocking nails in skeletally immature patients

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
Objectives To evaluate a juvenile dog population that sustained diaphyseal femoral fractures surgically stabilised with an angle‐stable interlocking nail and evaluate for evidence of proximal femoral malformation both periooperatively and at skeletal maturity.

Medial Compartment Knee Osteoarthritis Altered Tibiofemoral Joint Kinematics and Contact Pattern During Daily Weight‐Bearing Extension

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1478-1485, May 2025.
Under the surveillance of dual fluoroscopic imaging system (DFIS), the MCKOA side tibia showed more flexed and varus rotations and more posterior, lateral, proximal translations than its native side during daily extension, consistent with the extra medial shifts of contact patterns on MCKOA side tibial plateau.
