A 4D geometric morphometrics workflow to quantify complex biological motion

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Quantifying biological motion is fundamentally tied to quantifying the biological structures that produce that motion. Yet, this dependence makes it essential to decouple motion from static morphology to enable general, comparable analyses across individuals and conditions. In this work, we present a methodological pipeline to study biological

Commentary on “Restrained whole body plethysmography for measure of strain-specific and allergen-induced airway responsiveness in conscious mice” [PDF]

, 2007
To the Editor: We read the manuscript by Lofgren et al. (7) with great interest and would like to compliment them for an excellent comparison and validation of plethysmographic methods to assess airway function in mice. There are two errors that we would

The Evolution in Understanding the Physiological Causes of Dyspnoea in Large Hiatal Herniation: A Narrative Review

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The symptomatology of large hiatus hernia (LHH) has been historically poorly understood, with cardiorespiratory symptoms caused by LHH being underappreciated by clinicians. This study reports on the mechanisms of dyspnoea in LHH through a historical review of symptoms and evolved physiological literature, discussing likely causation.
