Over the edge: Empirical evidence for the cliff‐edge model of obstetric selection

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The cliff‐edge model of obstetric selection maintains that larger neonates and smaller birth canals confer a positive selective advantage until labor becomes obstructed and vaginal delivery is no longer possible, eliciting an abrupt reduction in fitness.

To study and compare the obstetric and neonatal outcome of pregnancies complicated with hypothyroidism amongst antenatally detected and treated hypothyroid patients and patients found to be hypothyroid at the time of labor

International Journal of Reproduction, Contraception, Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2016
Background: To evaluate pregnancy outcome in women with elevated serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) values as compared to those in whom hypothyroidism was treated. Methods: A prospective interventional comparative study was conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology in King Edward Memorial Hospital, Mumbai, India from 2014 to ...

Pelvic morphology and body size in relation to the preauricular sulcus: Evidence from medieval to modern Iberia

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The preauricular sulcus has long been debated as a pelvic feature variably attributed to obstetric stress, ligamentous traction, and broader biomechanical processes. To clarify its determinants, we analyzed 409 adult individuals from three archeological and one early modern skeletal collection from the Iberian Peninsula, integrating graded ...

Historical birth records from 1896 to 1944 from the Basel maternity hospital, Switzerland, reveal significant obstetric selection pressures

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality have declined dramatically during the last century. Historical data are therefore important sources to study the evolutionary selection pressures related to childbirth and how they have fluctuated over time.

Charlotte Pommer: Resistance fighter and female pioneer of German anatomy

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the biography and unique case of Charlotte Pommer (1914–2004), the only anatomist documented to have left the field during the Nazi period after encountering the regime's victims on the dissection table. While she is known for her resistance activities, newly presented documentation reveals her role as the provisional ...

Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult
