Hoffmann's two‐toed sloth II: Muscle architectural properties in the thoracic limb of Choloepus (Pilosa: Xenarthra)

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Two‐toed sloths use their thoracic limbs for more frequent and greater suspensory support than three‐toed sloths and have muscle architectural properties consistent with stability of the pectoral girdle, enhanced flexor force/torque applied at the shoulder and elbow joints, and grip on the support as indicated by their myology. Abstract Two‐toed sloths

Hoffmann's two‐toed sloth I: Complete myology in the thoracic limb of Choloepus (Pilosa: Xenarthra)

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Two‐toed sloths use their thoracic limbs for more frequent and prolonged suspensory support than three‐toed sloths and accordingly demonstrate myological traits consistent with stability of the pectoral girdle, enhanced flexor force/torque applied at the elbow joint, and grip on the support.

The pectoralis muscle orientation as an indicator of the modes of wing‐propelled locomotion in birds

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The pectoralis orientation of birds was consistent with the orientation of the aerodynamic force acting on the wing, varying by wing‐propelled locomotion (WPL) mode. The skeletal morphology unique to each WPL mode, related to the origin/insertion of the pectoralis, may be associated with these functional demands of pectoralis orientation.

Words After the Storm: Elite Rhetoric and the Limits of De‐Escalation in Postreferendum Catalonia

open access: yesNations and Nationalism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT When does a secessionist crisis end? What drives political elites to shift from hostility to moderation? This article examines the prospects of rhetorical de‐escalation in the aftermath of a secessionist dispute through the paradigmatic case of Catalonia.

Medial Compartment Knee Osteoarthritis Altered Tibiofemoral Joint Kinematics and Contact Pattern During Daily Weight‐Bearing Extension

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1478-1485, May 2025.
Under the surveillance of dual fluoroscopic imaging system (DFIS), the MCKOA side tibia showed more flexed and varus rotations and more posterior, lateral, proximal translations than its native side during daily extension, consistent with the extra medial shifts of contact patterns on MCKOA side tibial plateau.
