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.

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,

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.

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

Resveratrol and Exercise Produce Recovered Ankle and Metatarsus Joint Movements after Penetrating Lesion in Hippocampus in Male Rats [PDF]

Introduction: This study investigates how traumatic injuries alter joint movements in the ankle and foot. We used a brain injury model in rats, focusing on the hippocampus between the CA1 and dentate gyrus.

Use of the IlluminOss Photodynamic Bone Stabilisation System Following Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Limb‐Sparing in Six Dogs With Presumptive Appendicular Osteosarcoma

Veterinary and Comparative Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone tumour in dogs, with approximately 75% of cases occurring in the appendicular skeleton. Standard‐of‐care therapy consists of limb amputation followed by carboplatin chemotherapy. A minority of dogs have limb‐sparing treatments including stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) or surgery. SBRT has

Effects of bed rest and immobilization on intramuscular and intermuscular adipose tissue: A systematic review

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Muscle disuse caused by bed rest and immobilization is associated with muscle atrophy and insulin resistance, which might be related to increases in intramuscular fat (IntraMAT) and intermuscular fat (InterMAT) accumulation. In this systematic review, we compiled evidence on the effects of bed rest and unilateral lower‐limb immobilization on ...

Metatarsus Adductus: Literature Review and Case Study [PDF]

Background: Metatarsus Adductus (MA) is a foot deformity resulting from impaired fetal growth, causing medial deviation of the forefoot. It is the most prevalent abnormality in pediatric populations, affecting 1-3 per 1000 live births.

Low‐threshold cutaneous mechanoreceptors on the foot sole have enhanced sensitivity when skin temperature is elevated

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic illustration of microneurography recordings used to examine the effects of local skin heating on cutaneous mechanoreceptor responses in the human foot (left panel). A microelectrode inserted into a peripheral nerve records single‐unit activity from tactile afferent fibres while controlled mechanical stimuli are applied ...
