Postcranial anatomy of the Miocene hippopotamoids of Toros‐Menalla, Chad

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We establish a framework for the identification of postcranial remains in hippopotamoids by describing and comparing for the first time two late Miocene hippopotamoids from Toros‐Menalla, Chad (Hexaprotodon garyam, an early hippopotamid, and Libycosaurus bahri, the last African anthracothere) with the common hippopotamus.

Functional morphology and biomechanics of the locomotor apparatus in the large Late Triassic carnivore Postosuchus kirkpatricki (Archosauria: Rauisuchidae)

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A three‐dimensional model is used to analyze the locomotor biomechanics of the large Late Triassic archosaurian reptile Postosuchus kirkpatricki. The study finds that it is more uncertain than previously concluded whether it was quadrupedal or bipedal, and plantigrade or digitigrade, but it clearly had locomotor specializations including large hindlimb

Osteoporosis and Periodontitis: Two‐Way Epidemiological and Mechanistic Evidence

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This review investigates the main mechanistic pathways connecting local periodontitis to systemic osteoporosis. Seven interconnected mechanisms are identified. ABSTRACT Osteoporosis and periodontitis are highly prevalent, chronic inflammatory diseases that constitute a major global health burden.

Unilateral Dual‐Plane Puncture Percutaneous Vertebroplasty Reduces Re‐Collapse in Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures by Advancing Cement Delivery

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1322-1331, May 2025.
Trajectory of the unilateral dual‐plane puncture. The sagittal CT scan after surgery clearly shows the puncture trajectory of the unilateral dual‐plane puncture. The bone cement simultaneously contacted both the upper and lower end plates. ABSTRACT Purpose Evaluate the efficacy of a novel unilateral dual‐plane puncture technique in improving bone ...

From senescence and inflammaging to systemic comorbidities: Drivers of aging‐associated periodontitis

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Aging is accompanied by a chronic low‐grade inflammatory process, known as inflammaging, as well as immunosenescence, an age‐related decline and dysregulation of immune function, and cellular senescence, a process in which cells enter a state of irreversible growth arrest while actively releasing pro‐inflammatory factors.

Crossroads of the Life of Vittorio Alfieri

open access: yesJournal for Eighteenth-Century Studies, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 375-392, September 2026.
Abstract This article examines Vittorio Alfieri's Life as a deliberately constructed narrative of cultural, linguistic, and political self‐fashioning within eighteenth‐century European intellectual networks. Rather than treating the autobiography as a transparent record of experience, the article argues that Alfieri retrospectively reorganizes his ...

Antipredatory Strategies of Anurans: An Updated Conceptual Review

open access: yesEthology, Volume 132, Issue 9, Page 662-708, September 2026.
To unravel the evolutionary dynamics of predator–prey interactions, we propose an updated, three‐tiered classification of anuran antipredatory strategies. By mapping non‐behavioral, individual, and group defenses across five functional phases, this integrative framework introduces the concept of synergetic coupling.

Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Is Characterized by a Distinct Proteomic Profile

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, Volume 100, Issue 2, Page 255-267, August 2026.
Objectives The pathophysiology of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is poorly understood and disease‐specific biomarkers are lacking. We aimed to shed light on IIH pathophysiology and identify disease‐specific biomarkers. Methods This prospective cross‐sectional cohort study included patients with new‐onset IIH and age‐, body mass index‐, and ...

SARS‐CoV‐2 Spike Peptides Trigger Nociceptive Responses Through Spinal TLR4 Pathways

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Pain, Volume 30, Issue 7, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Pain is a common neurological manifestation of COVID‐19, yet the mechanisms by which SARS‐CoV‐2 spike protein fragments contribute to nociceptive processing remain poorly understood. We investigated whether spike‐derived peptides directly activate spinal neuroimmune pathways involved in pain signalling.

The Backbone of Regionalisation: Refining Axial Regionalisation Through 3D Morphometric Sampling Strategies on Elapid Snakes

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 8, August 2026.
Using 3D geometric morphometrics on every precaudal vertebra from 12 elapid snakes, this study used segmented linear regression to test regionalisation. The results show a five‐region model is best supported, including short cervical and lumbar regions and a strong heart‐aligned boundary at approximately 20% of the pre‐caudal column.
