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

Journal 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.

Cumulative effects of lifelong systemic excess growth hormone on postcranial skeletal morphology in adult mice

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Our μCT‐based pilot study reveals size and shape disparity in the adult postcranial skeleton of growth‐hormone model (bGH) mice relative to wild‐type mice. bGH mice have larger and more sexually dimorphic bones, with a systemic radiodensity increase in bony sesamoids and associated, but typically uncalcified, soft tissues.

Musculoskeletal Phenotypes of 19 Patients With X‐Linked HNRNPH2‐Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder: A Prospective Case Series

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 12, Page 2708-2718, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Detailed clinical phenotypes have been previously reported for 33 individuals with X‐linked HNRNPH2‐related neurodevelopmental disorder. Of these, 75% self‐reported a musculoskeletal abnormality, including hip dysplasia, scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis, pes planus, arthritis, and missing spinous processes.

Ultrasound Evaluation of the Abductor Hallucis Muscle in Youth: A Reliability Study

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Abductor hallucis (AbdH) is an intrinsic foot muscle and a stabiliser of the medial longitudinal arch. Its cross‐sectional area (CSA) is routinely measured by ultrasound (US) and is highly relevant to foot muscle development. However, the reliability of portable US for measuring AbdH CSA in healthy youth is unknown. Therefore, the

Single‐Operator Stress Ultrasound Evaluation of Ulnohumeral Joint Instability Related to Medial Ulnar Collateral Ligament Injury

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, Volume 45, Issue 11, Page 2599-2604, November 2026.
This article introduces a novel, single‐operator stress ultrasound technique for evaluating medial ulnar collateral ligament (MUCL) integrity by assessing medial ulnohumeral joint (MUHJ) widening under valgus stress. Unlike prior methods requiring dual operators, specialized equipment, or the use of hand/wrist weights, this approach was designed for ...

Four weeks of isometric handgrip training results in lower awake ambulatory blood pressure compared with control: a randomized clinical trial

Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging, Volume 46, Issue 6, November 2026.
Abstract We compared the effects of upper‐limb (handgrip) and lower‐limb (knee extension) isometric training on ambulatory blood pressure in individuals with controlled hypertension. In this randomized controlled trial, 67 adults receiving antihypertensive medication were allocated to a control group (CG, n = 22), small muscle mass isometric training ...

Scratching beneath the surface: Quantification of muscle architecture and myosin heavy chain content in the forelimbs of black‐tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys, Rodentia)

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 1181-1207, November 2026.
Black‐tailed prairie dogs are highly social ground squirrels that excavate communal burrow systems, most often in medium‐textured soils. Their forelimbs demonstrate morphofunctional trade‐offs for scratch‐digging and terrestrial ecology, including well‐developed and fast‐contracting proximal musculature with large mechanical advantage paired with ...
