Astragalus ecomorphology in Quaternary elephantids
ABSTRACT The astragalus plays a fundamental role in the graviportal locomotion of proboscideans, reflecting the biomechanical constraints imposed by large body masses. This study analyses the morphological variability of the astragalus in Quaternary elephantids using linear biometry and 3D geometric morphometrics, incorporating an unpublished ...

From Highlands to Henge: Refining the Provenance and Transport Pathways of Stonehenge's Altar Stone
ABSTRACT The Altar Stone, the 6000 kg central sandstone megalith at Stonehenge in southern England, is suggested to have originated from the Orcadian Basin in northeast Scotland, some 700 km away. However, its source location within this large basin remains unresolved and its mode of transport uncertain.

Macroscale Gradient‐Informed Neural Oscillation Topography in Parkinson's Disease
Abstract Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by large‐scale disruptions in beta and gamma oscillations. Although subcortical beta power is an established biomarker for current adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS), it may not fully capture the global pathophysiological burden and the macroscale hierarchical reorganization of the ...

Gut microbiota dysbiosis and Long COVID susceptibility in chronic kidney disease
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 ...
