Abstract Softshell turtles (Pan‐Trionychidae) are an early branching clade of hidden‐necked turtles (Cryptodira) with a rich fossil record extending back to the Early Cretaceous. The evolutionary history of softshell turtles is still unresolved because of their conservative morphology combined with high levels of polymorphism related to morphological ...

Despite their taxonomic and evolutionary significance, detailed descriptions of dental morphology remain scarce. The order Carcharhiniformes, the most diverse among sharks, comprises 304 valid species that display remarkable ...

Objective Osteoporosis causes fractures that further increase the disease burden of rheumatoid arthritis (RA); however, osteoporosis treatment rates remain low. Although several studies have reported that biologic or targeted synthetic disease‐modifying antirheumatic drugs (b/tsDMARDs) can prevent or improve osteoporosis in RA, our large‐scale, real ...

Cooperative learning in anatomy: Comparing virtual avatars and human specimens
Abstract Contemporary research demonstrated that undergraduate medical students rated an augmented reality learning tool entitled “human muscular arm avatar” as useful for their self‐directed individual learning. Beyond this subjective assessment, it was largely unknown whether avatar‐based study would also improve knowledge test scores at an objective
