The 9+ month marathon: How pregnancy may have shaped human endurance capacities

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Anthropology has long considered the evolution of our uniquely human endurance capacities to be the result of selection upon anatomical and physiological features imposed by the demands of thermoregulation and resource acquisition, particularly during the demands of persistence hunting. Research has focused on the anatomical changes present in

The fossil record stays silent: Confusions and conundrums for hominin pelvis evolution

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The evolution of the hominin pelvis is commonly modeled as a series of stages driven largely by the requirements of bipedal locomotion, reproduction, thermoregulation, and pelvic floor muscular support. These patterns are complicated by variation in canal dimensions in relationship with different changes in overall pelvic breadths. To quantify

The pelvis doesn't walk by itself: Wider pelves reduce the cost of walking over unstable surfaces

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Walking over variable and/or unstable terrain is a key aspect of daily life and was crucial to the evolution of bipedalism. The ability to find gait solutions that maintained stability over uneven terrain for the least increase in metabolic cost was likely a hallmark of locomotor effectiveness in early humans, in particular acting as an ...

Human evolution and the obstetrical dilemma: The pelvic floor hypothesis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
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.

Most Upper Extremity Injuries in Elite Summer League Baseball Players Occur From Overuse, Affect the Shoulder, and Result in Missed Playing Time

Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Purpose To characterize the epidemiology of upper extremity injuries among elite college baseball players in 1 league over 5 seasons. Methods Deidentified arm injury reports were recorded from the 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2023 Cape Cod Baseball League (CCBL) seasons.

Lower Extremity Sprains and Knee/Ankle Injury Predominate Among Pediatric Dancers

Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Purpose To determine the most common body regions, diagnoses, and mechanisms of injury among pediatric dance‐related injuries in the United States. Methods A descriptive epidemiologic analysis of the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2023 identified emergency department presentations for primary dance ...

Ten Minutes of Passive Hip and Knee Joint Movement Reduces Stiffness Due to Osgood‐Schlatter Disease in the Rectus Femoris Muscle

Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Purpose To investigate the acute effects of passive movement on rectus femoris (RF) stiffness, flexibility, and subjective knee joint pain in patients with Osgood‐Schlatter disease (OSD). Methods Patients with bilateral OSD at the orthopedic clinic between July 2023 and June 2025 were prospectively enrolled.

Investigating the Role of Type I Interferon Signaling on Muscle Disease Using Mouse Models

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Dysregulated type I interferon (IFN) signaling contributes to autoimmune myositis pathogenesis. We investigated the therapeutic effects of JAK inhibitors in two mouse models. We also examined how type I IFNs affect muscle vasculature. Methods Myositis was induced in major histocompatibility complex class I double transgenic ([TRE‐H‐2Kb (H ...
