Improving access to new technologies: An experiment with Kenyan input sellers

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Agrodealers play a critical role in rural economies, selling essential inputs for agricultural production, stocking new products, and providing farmers with technical advice. However, uncertainty can discourage them from stocking newer, less familiar products, limiting the availability of innovative technologies and leading to market failures ...

Serum bile acids as a prognostic biomarker in biliary atresia following Kasai portoenterostomy

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Serum bile acid levels predict outcomes in patients with biliary atresia who achieve normalized bilirubin levels after Kasai portoenterostomy. Abstract Background and Aims In biliary atresia, serum bilirubin is commonly used to predict outcomes after Kasai portoenterostomy (KP).

Revisiting paravertebral muscles in European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and European brown hares (Lepus europaeus) (Leporidae; Lagomorpha)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Domesticated European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have long been chosen as laboratory model organisms. Despite this, there has been no definitive study of the vertebral musculature of wild rabbits. Relevant descriptions of well‐studied veterinary model mammals (such as dogs) are generally applicable, but not appropriate for a species ...

Thoracic CT findings and patient demographics associated with traumatic pneumothorax: recommendations for the emergency department

European Journal of Medical Research
Background People with thoracic trauma often present to the emergency department with low-energy injuries and sustain rib fractures. This study aimed to assess the risk of traumatic pneumothorax in a patient cohort based on the radiological ...

The skeleton of the green Iguana iguana (Squamata: Iguanidae) and its intraspecific morphological variation

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The green iguana (Iguana iguana) is an iguanine lizard with herbivorous and arboreal habits, whose distribution spans through South America, Central America to the south of North America. Although the genus Iguana is well‐known, the species still lacks a comprehensive and up‐to‐date anatomical study, particularly addressing the axial skeleton,

Attempted repair of chest wall injury following penetrating injury with surgical stabilization rib and autologous bone graft: A case report

Trauma Case Reports
Rib fractures are one of the most common injuries following blunt trauma. When associated with penetrating trauma, the projectile velocity and immense energy transfer cause significant rib fracture displacement and fragmentation.

Clinical Utility of Chest Computed Tomography in Patients with Rib Fractures CT Chest and Rib Fractures

Archives of Trauma Research, 2016
Background Chest CT is more sensitive than a chest X-ray (CXR) in diagnosing rib fractures; however, the clinical significance of these fractures remains unclear. Objectives The purpose of this study was to

Developmental differences in cortical bone structure in chimpanzee and human femora reflect early locomotor independence in humans

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The cortical bone structure of long bone diaphyses changes throughout growth via skeletal modeling and has important implications for bone strength and structural integrity. Ontogenetic trends in diaphyseal structure have been identified in both chimpanzees and humans but it is not yet clear how these trends compare given notable differences ...

Scaling and ecomorphology of lagomorph body shape and appendicular skeleton

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Body shape is one of the most prominent features of phenotypic variation. Yet, mammalian body shapes are poorly quantified and the underlying components contributing to its diversity and its relationship to other skeletal components are rarely tested.
