Quantitative assessment of gait alterations and variability in sulky‐driven Standardbred trotters after a standardised exercise test

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Assessment of equine metabolic and locomotory responses to quantified levels of physical exercise is needed to support the creation of tailored protocols for optimal training adaptation. The locomotory response to exercise in horses is not fully understood.

Assessment of the mineral density and mineral content of the equine third metacarpal and first phalanx bone by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry

, 2010
In the first part of this methodological study eleven metacarpi of 9 skeletally normal horses were examined from 4 directions by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA).

Descriptive epidemiology of long‐term injuries in jump racing Thoroughbreds in Great Britain

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Race‐related injuries in horse racing, especially those requiring extended recovery, are a welfare concern and threaten the sport's social licence. Previous studies predominantly report on fatalities; however, serious non‐fatal musculoskeletal injuries often end horses' racing careers or have a high recurrence risk.

Bone health in adults with non‐ambulatory neuromuscular disorders: scoping review of risk factors, diagnosis and management

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Non‐ambulatory adults have an increased risk of osteoporosis and fractures due to reduced weight‐bearing and diminished neuromuscular stimulation, resulting in substantial morbidity and mortality. Aims This scoping review aimed to systematically evaluate risk factors, diagnostic indicators and management strategies for optimising ...

Stature estimation using anthropometric measurements from computed tomography of metacarpal bones among Egyptian population

, 2011
Identification of an individual is the mainstay in forensic investigation. Estimation of stature plays a significant role in establishing personal identity. A sample of 157 Egyptian subjects {82 males and 75 females} ranging from 21 to 40years was taken.

Soft tissue abnormalities in the congenital limb malformation radial dysplasia (RD): Their clinical impact and treatment significance

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We review the characteristic changes to the limb soft tissue and neurovascular abnormalities that have been described in the congenital limb birth defect, Radial Dysplasia. These include consistent changes in muscle anatomy or absence of specific muscles, persistent median arteries and absent radial arteries and consistent alterations in neural ...

Aging of Bone Density in the Second Metacarpal

Okajimas Folia Anatomica Japonica, 1991
Bone weight, bone and cortical areas, and apparent and true bone densities (W/BV and W/CV) were measured on the second metacarpals of 114 male and 114 female Japanese, aged 30 to 98 years. Measurements were taken from midshaft cross-sections 2 mm thick, using an electron balance and an image analyzing system.

Hoffmann's two‐toed sloth II: Muscle architectural properties in the thoracic limb of Choloepus (Pilosa: Xenarthra)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Two‐toed sloths use their thoracic limbs for more frequent and greater suspensory support than three‐toed sloths and have muscle architectural properties consistent with stability of the pectoral girdle, enhanced flexor force/torque applied at the shoulder and elbow joints, and grip on the support as indicated by their myology. Abstract Two‐toed sloths

Frequency of arboreality is correlated with longer hand skeletons in Gorilla: Analysis of a new skeletal sample of Bwindi mountain gorillas

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Variation in arboreality across gorilla populations is associated with systematic differences in manual digital lengths. Using a new dataset of linear metrics from the Bwindi mountain gorillas, we quantify metacarpal and phalangeal lengths in eastern and western gorilla populations across all five rays. Consistent with quantified behavioral differences,

Hoffmann's two‐toed sloth I: Complete myology in the thoracic limb of Choloepus (Pilosa: Xenarthra)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Two‐toed sloths use their thoracic limbs for more frequent and prolonged suspensory support than three‐toed sloths and accordingly demonstrate myological traits consistent with stability of the pectoral girdle, enhanced flexor force/torque applied at the elbow joint, and grip on the support.
