Craniofacial Dysmorphology Associated With Phelan-McDermid Syndrome Using Three-Dimensional Morphometrics. [PDF]

Clin Genet
Using 3D morphometrics quantifies genetic contribution to head and face development. ABSTRACT Phelan–McDermid syndrome (PMS) frequently presents with distinctive facial features, although a typical facial phenotype for this condition has not been well characterized.

Home and away: allometry and climate drive morphology of European rabbits in their native and introduced range

Oikos, EarlyView.
Climatic conditions shape phenotypic evolution by driving adaptations that optimise organismal function. Invasive species provide valuable systems to study these processes, as they often encounter novel climatic conditions in their introduced ranges. The European rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus, native to the Iberian Peninsula, has established populations

New Insights Into Cranial Base Ontogeny in Modern Humans Through Morphometric Analysis. [PDF]

Am J Biol Anthropol
ABSTRACT Objectives The cranial base is located at the interface between the face, the brain, and the vertebral column. Understanding its growth is essential for elucidating key aspects of craniofacial development, neurodevelopment, and locomotor function.

Mapping the Conformational Landscape of DNA Minicircles Through Atomic Force Microscopy and Shape Space Analysis

Small, EarlyView.
An automated framework is presented for quantifying DNA conformational variability from atomic force microscopy (AFM) images. DNA backbones are reduced to spline representations and analyzed using cyclic Procrustes analysis to measure shape similarity across ensembles.

Gut microbiota dysbiosis and Long COVID susceptibility in chronic kidney disease

VIEW, EarlyView.
This study investigated gut microbiota dysbiosis and its association with Long COVID susceptibility in 224 hemodialysis patients. We found that 35.3% of patients developed Long COVID, characterized by neurological symptoms and elevated inflammatory markers, accompanied by significant gut microbiota alterations including enriched proinflammatory taxa ...

The morphological affinities of the fossil cranium from Kabua, Kenya Affinités morphologiques du crâne fossile de Kabua (Kenya)

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Our current understanding of the origins of Homo sapiens is limited, in part, by the fragmented fossil record from Late Pleistocene and early Holocene Africa. Here, we re‐examine the Kabua 1 cranium, an enigmatic and little‐studied Kenyan fossil discovered in the 1950s. We compare virtual reconstructions created previously by our team with a wide range

Evaluation of sensory characteristics of sheep and goat meat by Procrustes Analysis

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2012
Relationships between sensory variables, species, feeding systems, and panelists were examined by Procrustes Analysis. Six meat groups considering species and feeding type combinations were evaluated by ten panelists for five sensory characteristics ...

Relationships between human tibia diaphysis shape and experimental injury outcomes

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Interpretation is central to skeletal trauma analysis; however, the influence of intrinsic skeletal variation, such as long bone shape, on injury is not fully understood. While previous studies have emphasized extrinsic variables such as loading rate, direction, and number of impacts, this study investigates whether diaphyseal shape variation ...

Información morfométrica en estudios interpoblacionales: una comparación de técnicas basadas en proporciones y coordenadas Procrustes

Revista Argentina de Antropología Biológica, 2011
Tradicionalmente se ha abordado el estudio de la variación morfológica mediante técnicas estadísticas uni y multivariadas aplicadas principalmente a proporciones calculadas sobre distancias lineales entre puntos anatómicos (landmarks). Más recientemente,
