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

Developmental morphology of claspers and clasper‐glands during maturation in Potamotrygon wallacei (Chondrichthyes: Potamotrygoninae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The claspers are the copulatory organs in male elasmobranchs, responsible for directing the semen into the female cloaca (C). However, the microscopic morphology of the claspers remains poorly understood. This study describes the morphology of the claspers and clasper glands (CGs) of cururu stingray (Potamotrygon wallacei) at different ...

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.

Concurrent High Tibial Osteotomy, Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction, and Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Repair

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Medial meniscus posterior root tears and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries disrupt knee biomechanics and accelerate joint degeneration, particularly in the presence of varus malalignment. This technical note describes a combined surgical approach that integrates medial meniscus posterior root repair, ACL reconstruction, and high tibial

Grooved Surface of the Obturator Internus Muscle With Two Distinct Adjacent Parts

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The specific anatomical features of the obturator internus, particularly those of its medial surface, remain insufficiently characterized. This study investigated the morphology of the obturator internus muscle by focusing on the shape of its medial surface and potential age‐related changes.

Fecal incontinence: challenges in electrodiagnosis and rehabilitation

Egyptian Rheumatology and Rehabilitation, 2023
Background Pelvic floor disorders are a common, yet debatable medical challenge. The management of fecal incontinence (FI) has always been a puzzle as it is a multifactorial problem that needs a skilled specialized teamwork.

Validation of a handheld smartphone markerless method for quantifying thoracolumbar flexion–extension range of motion in horses at trot

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Back pain and poor performance in horses are difficult to assess objectively and thoracolumbar flexion‐extension range of motion (FEROM) is not reliably evaluated by subjective observation alone. A handheld, smartphone‐based markerless computer vision system (RealHorse®; RH) may enable objective clinical and field‐based FEROM ...
