Scaling and ecomorphology of lagomorph body shape and appendicular skeleton
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.

Human evolution and the obstetrical dilemma: The pelvic floor hypothesis
Abstract Human childbirth is mechanically difficult because a large‐headed, broad‐shouldered fetus must pass through a comparatively narrow, twisted bony birth canal. Traditional explanations of this “obstetrical dilemma” emphasize the role of bipedal locomotion in inhibiting the evolution of a wider, more spacious pelvis.

Abstract Sacroiliac joint tuberculosis (SJT), although relatively uncommon, may lead to severe destruction and functional impairment of the sacroiliac joint. Surgical intervention is recommended for patients with significant joint destruction, mild cystic changes, or sacroiliac joint instability. Early bone fusion may be facilitated through drainage of

Capacity building in medicines development and regulation in Africa—Overview on recent progress
Aims Despite advances in health research and digital innovation, many African countries continue to face substantial resource constraints, fragmented capacity‐building efforts and a shortage of skilled professionals in medicines development and regulatory science.

SUMMARYTumors arising ventral to the sacrum probably arise from remnants of fetal structures. The most important fetal changes in this region include the development and subsequent disappearance of the notochord, neurenteric canal, proctodeum and hindgut.The subjective symptoms of tumor ventral to ...

Abstract Background The notochord is a midline structure essential for vertebrate embryogenesis, contributing to the development of the nervous system, digestive tract, and vertebral column. In particular, notochord signaling is indispensable for proper patterning and coordinated development of alternating vertebrae and intervertebral discs (IVDs ...

Role of SoxE transcription factors in development and disease
Abstract Sox8, Sox9, and Sox10 arose by multiple rounds of genome duplications from a single SoxE gene in ancestral vertebrates. In this review, we will briefly discuss the molecular structure and function of SoxE transcription factors and their evolutionary origin. We will then discuss their expression, function, and developmental disorders.

Secretopathies emerge as a new class of neurocristopathies
Abstract Neural crest cells are a transient embryonic population of cells that give rise to a wide range of structures, including craniofacial cartilage and bone, peripheral neurons and glia, as well as components of the cardiac outflow tract, among others.

Similar locomotor patterns across Quarter Horse disciplines inform lameness assessment
Abstract Background Lineage‐based selection is central to the Quarter Horse industry and is often justified by the assumption that morphology determines locomotor function. However, objective evidence linking static conformation to discipline‐specific locomotor behaviour under standardised conditions remains limited.

Pelvic axial rotation in hindlimb lame horses changes after diagnostic analgesia
Abstract Background Visual assessment of mild to moderate hindlimb lameness has low sensitivity and specificity, potentially leading to flawed diagnostic procedures. Pelvic axial rotation (roll) makes the assessment more complex but is also a potential source of information. Objectives To describe pelvic roll patterns in horses with unilateral hindlimb
