Development of the abdominal musculature in the chicken embryo

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
In this study, we investigate anatomy, morphogenesis, segmental origin, and fiber formation of the abdominal musculature in the chicken embryo. We show that abdominal muscles arise from somites 24 to 28, and that the segmental identity of individual fibers in the abdominal muscle sheets is maintained.

An investigation of the functional significance of the pyramidalis muscle using shear wave elastography

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The pyramidalis (Py) is a small triangular‐shaped anterior abdominal wall muscle, the function of which remains uncertain. We used shear wave elastography to test the hypothesis that Py contributes to stiffness of the linea alba. Our results indicate that Py contraction results in a significant increase in LA stiffness, supporting the previously ...

Anatomical Study of Lateral Compression II Screw Path and Entry Parameters Based on Three‐Dimensional CT Image Reconstruction Techniques

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1454-1463, May 2025.
This graphical abstract illustrates a study where 43 adult patients (21 males, 22 females) underwent CT scans to reconstruct 3D pelvic models using Mimics and 3‐Matic software. The analysis measured the Lateral Compression II (LC‐II) screw path, revealing sex‐based anatomical differences that could improve the precision and safety of percutaneous LC‐II

Genome Sequencing in 19 Families With Bladder Exstrophy and Epispadias Complex Indicates Involvement of the ADGR ‐Gene Family

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 6, Page 1286-1305, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Bladder exstrophy and epispadias complex (BEEC) is one of the most severe congenital malformations of the urogenital tract, significantly impacting continence, sexual function, and renal function. To date, the only recurrent genetic aberration identified is the 22q.11.2 microduplication, but several candidate regions and genes including ...
