Three‐dimensional geometric morphometric analysis of diaphragmatic dome motion in COPD patients

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Diaphragmatic dysfunction is a hallmark of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), especially in emphysema, where hyperinflation alters diaphragm geometry and impairs inspiratory mechanics. However, quantitative three‐dimensional (3D) assessments of diaphragmatic dome shape and motion across COPD phenotypes are limited.

Historical birth records from 1896 to 1944 from the Basel maternity hospital, Switzerland, reveal significant obstetric selection pressures

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality have declined dramatically during the last century. Historical data are therefore important sources to study the evolutionary selection pressures related to childbirth and how they have fluctuated over time.

Human evolution and the obstetrical dilemma: The pelvic floor hypothesis

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
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.

The “costly son” hypothesis: Sons exacerbate obstetrical dilemmas in humans and other mammals

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Human childbirth has often been considered uniquely difficult among mammals, yet recent evidence suggests that obstructed labor and fetopelvic disproportion are widespread across placental mammals. Here, we propose the “costly son” hypothesis: because male offspring are typically larger at birth, they impose greater obstetric risk on mothers ...

Hip Arthroscopy in Adults Aged 40 or Older Produces Clinically Meaningful Symptom Improvement but Carries a Substantial Risk of Conversion to Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review

open access: yesArthroscopy, EarlyView.
Purpose To report conversion rates to total hip arthroplasty (THA), patient‐reported outcome measures, and complication rates in adults aged ≥ 40 years undergoing hip arthroscopy since 2016. Methods MEDLINE, EMBASE, and PubMed were searched from January 2016 to March 2025, and pertinent data were abstracted from eligible studies according to the ...

The Use of Unloader Bracing in the Management of Knee Osteoarthritis: A Modified Delphi Consensus Study

open access: yesArthroscopy, EarlyView.
Purpose To develop international expert consensus on the role of unloader bracing in the management of tibiofemoral osteoarthritis (OA) by addressing indications, contraindications, clinical evaluation, perioperative applications, and research priorities using a modified Delphi methodology.

Gut Health in Ostriches (Struthio camelus): Insights Into Intestinal Structure, Functions, Microbiome, and Improvement Strategies

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Our paper systematically reviews the intestinal structure, function, and microbiota of ostriches, along with strategies for improving their gut health. We analyze how these factors collectively influence intestinal homeostasis and ostrich welfare, emphasizing probiotics as a promising intervention to enhance gut health, boost population well‐being, and

Female Sex, Higher Outerbridge Grade, and Preoperative Tibial Edema Are Associated With Failure After Arthroscopic Posterior Medial Meniscus Root Repair

open access: yesArthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Purpose To characterize the prevalence of arthroscopic surgical revisions, postsurgical conversion to arthroplasty, and patient‐reported outcomes of medical meniscus posterior root tear repairs at 1‐ and 2‐year follow‐up timepoints, with a focus on identifying predictors of treatment failure.

Ten‐Year Post‐traumatic Osteoarthritis Incidence Is Low After Pediatric Isolated Meniscal Surgery but Lower After Meniscal Repair Than Meniscectomy

open access: yesArthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Purpose To examine the 5‐ and 10‐year incidence of post‐traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) after isolated, primary meniscal surgery differentiating between meniscal repair and meniscectomy, in pediatric patients. Methods Pediatric patients (≤16 years) undergoing primary meniscectomy or meniscal repair (2010‐2023) with ≥5‐year follow‐up were identified in ...
