The morphology of the oval window in Paranthropus robustus compared to humans and other modern primates

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.

Origin, evolution and biogeographic dynamics of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Southwestern Europe

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

Decreased CD3 + CD4+ T lymphocyte count predicts 28-day all-cause mortality in severe AECOPD patients admitted to the ICU: a retrospective cohort study

Scientific Reports
Studies report a high 28-day all-cause mortality rate in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). The specific prognostic value of lymphocyte subsets for critically ill patients remains unclear.

Previously undocumented regional variability in crab‐eating macaque skull sexual dimorphism and its implications for biological and morphometric studies

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract In a large sample of adult crab‐eating macaques, we quantified sexual dimorphism in size, shape, and covariance across the whole skull and among anatomical regions of the cranium and mandible. All regions showed significant mean sex differences, but the magnitude of size and shape dimorphism varied substantially.

Caffeine intake and late dry age-related macular degeneration: tea’s protective role—insights from NHANES and Mendelian randomization

International Journal of Retina and Vitreous
Background Although caffeine is widely consumed and has demonstrated neuroprotective effects, its role in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) remains unclear, particularly across disease subtypes and dietary sources such as tea and coffee.

Computational fluid dynamics simulations of airflow through the nasal passages of rhinolophoid bats

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The nasal passages of bats that emit their echolocation call through their nostrils have adapted for sound emission as well as standard respiratory and olfactory functions. Rhinolophids, hipposiderids and rhinonycterids all use a high duty cycle (HDC) echolocation strategy.

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 ...

Prophylactic Enoxaparin Reduces Symptomatic Venous Thromboembolism Compared With No Chemoprophylaxis Within 95 Days After Knee Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Purpose To investigate whether prophylactic use of low‐molecular‐weight heparin (enoxaparin) after knee arthroscopy reduces the incidence of symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) compared with no postoperative pharmacological prophylaxis. Methods We conducted a population‐based cohort study using linked national insurance and hospital data from ...

Longitudinal Modulation of the Gut Microbiome and Growth Performance by Phytochemicals as Antibiotic Alternatives in Swine Production

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
We conducted a longitudinal trial across nursery, growing, and finishing phases, showing that phytochemical supplementation as a potential antibiotic alternative reduced potential pathogens and promoted beneficial Lactobacillus amylovorus in the nursery phase, and enriched amino acid and carbohydrate metabolism pathways (prediction) during finishing ...
