Impact of Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs) on Bone Health in Elite Athletes: A Retrospective Analysis

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle
Background Relative energy deficiency in sport (REDs) is associated with impaired performance and compromised bone health in elite athletes. While reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and increased risk for bone stress injuries are well documented, the ...

Re‐evaluation of a soft crested Edmontosaurin, with implications for hadrosaurid life appearance and diversity

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hadrosaurid dinosaurs are generally regarded as “crested” or “non‐crested” depending on the presence or absence of a bony cranial crest. At least one supposedly “non‐crested” hadrosaur is known to have possessed a soft tissue cranial crest (or comb), based on an exceptionally preserved “mummified” specimen. Here we redescribe this specimen and

The cranial, mandibular, and hyoid anatomy of softshell turtles (Trionychidae): A revised character list for phylogenetic analysis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Softshell turtles (Pan‐Trionychidae) are an early branching clade of hidden‐necked turtles (Cryptodira) with a rich fossil record extending back to the Early Cretaceous. The evolutionary history of softshell turtles is still unresolved because of their conservative morphology combined with high levels of polymorphism related to morphological ...

Comparative cranial biomechanics reveal macroevolutionary trends in theropod dinosaurs, with emphasis on Tyrannosauroidea

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Tyrannosaurus is viewed as a model organism in vertebrate paleontology, with numerous studies analyzing its feeding biomechanics. Nonetheless, the evolution of this feeding performance has been under‐addressed in Tyrannosauroidea, especially in basal tyrannosauroids. Here we used muscle‐force reconstruction and finite element analysis (FEA) to

Nasal soft‐tissue anatomy of Triceratops and other horned dinosaurs

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Although ceratopsid dinosaurs possess a characteristically hypertrophied narial region, soft‐tissue anatomy associated with such a skeletal structure and their biological significance remain poorly understood. The present study provides the first comprehensive hypothesis on the soft‐tissue anatomy in the ceratopsid rostrum based on the Extant ...

Novel application of gamification to support undergraduate anatomy: Student perceptions and performance

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Anatomy is a foundational component of various medical and paramedical disciplines. Existing research has suggested that games or game elements can improve student interest in musculoskeletal (MSK) anatomy. This project builds on previous gamification and serious game work and incorporates new anatomy‐based games into undergraduate anatomy ...

Osteology of the Feeding Apparatus of Chilean Flamingo Phoenicopterus chilensis (Aves: Phoenicopteridae). [PDF]

J Morphol
1. The skull features a broad, dorsoventrally flattened frontal region articulating with an elongated upper jaw that is complemented by the mandible's downward bend along its proximal half. 2. The low mechanical advantage in the mandible is attributed to the reduced and shallow insertion areas of the adductor muscles, which are positioned close to the ...

Capability Development in the European Medicines Regulatory Network—A European Learning Needs Analysis and Survey Study

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
The European Medicines Regulatory Network plays a critical role in safeguarding public health through the assessment and supervision of human medicines. However, rapid scientific and technological advancements have exposed capability deficits across the network, threatening timely and effective regulatory decision‐making.

Volumetric buccal bone alterations at immediate implant sites with or without soft tissue augmentation: A 6‐month assessment

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study is part of a randomized controlled trial investigating the impact of soft tissue augmentation (STA) using subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) (immediate implant with subepithelial connective tissue graft [ICT] group) or acellular dermal matrix (ADM) (immediate implant with acellular dermal matrix [IAD] group ...

Reduced prevalence of periodontitis in antidepressant users: Findings from a large‐scale US sample

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Periodontitis and major depression disorder have been shown to have a bidirectional association. However, the impact of antidepressants, the primary pharmacological treatment for depression, on periodontal health remains unclear.
