Descriptive epidemiology of long‐term injuries in jump racing Thoroughbreds in Great Britain

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Race‐related injuries in horse racing, especially those requiring extended recovery, are a welfare concern and threaten the sport's social licence. Previous studies predominantly report on fatalities; however, serious non‐fatal musculoskeletal injuries often end horses' racing careers or have a high recurrence risk.

The effect of full‐limb flexion tests on static and dynamic muscle activity and locomotion asymmetry in owner‐sound horses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Flexion tests are commonly used in equine locomotion examinations to identify underlying locomotor issues, yet their neuromuscular effects remain poorly understood. Response variability raises concerns about their clinical value in lameness assessments and pre‐purchase evaluations.

Comparative functional morphological study of the tarsal joint mobility in artiodactyls and perissodactyls in light of astragalar morphological differences

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study investigated how variations in the shape of the astragalus affect tarsal joint behavior, using CT scans. In artiodactyls with a double‐pulley astragalus, the calcaneus shifted plantarly during plantarflexion. This suggests the movement increases hindlimb functional length and contributes to enhanced running speed.

ANATOMICAL STUDIES ON THE BONES OF THE PELVIC LIMB IN INDIAN MUNTJAC (Muntiacus muntjak) [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, 2013
Anatomical studies on the bones of the pelvic limb of three Indian muntjac were carried out. The long axis of ilium and ischium were in the same line and the pelvic floor had a caudal slope. The elliptical pelvic inlet was obliquely placed.

Treatment of isolated talonavicular coalition: Case report and literature review

Journal of International Medical Research, 2018
Tarsal coalition refers to an abnormal fibrous, cartilaginous, or bony connection that develops between two or more tarsal bones. Talocalcaneal coalition and calcaneonavicular coalition account for more than 90% of all cases of tarsal coalition ...

Postcranial anatomy of the Miocene hippopotamoids of Toros‐Menalla, Chad

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We establish a framework for the identification of postcranial remains in hippopotamoids by describing and comparing for the first time two late Miocene hippopotamoids from Toros‐Menalla, Chad (Hexaprotodon garyam, an early hippopotamid, and Libycosaurus bahri, the last African anthracothere) with the common hippopotamus.

Functional morphology of trabecular bone in the calcaneus of African apes

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Pan exhibits significantly higher calcaneal tuberosity trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) and bone volume fraction (BV/TV) than Gorilla, potentially reflecting higher triceps surae forces for vertical climbing. Both taxa have significantly higher Tb.Th and BV/TV in the anterior calcaneus; the difference is exaggerated in Gorilla, potentially reflecting ...

Allometric patterns in Rhamphorhynchus muensteri and their role in the paleoecology, life habits, and taxonomic framework of pterosaurs

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The Graphical Abstract ilustrates the different allometric pattern within different Pterosauria groups, highlighting how the allometry influences the flight and habits of Pterosauria. Abstract Pterosaurs were the first vertebrates to achieve powered flight, a result of various unique anatomical adaptations, and significant morphological diversity ...

GROSS ANATOMY AND BIOMETRY ON TIBIOTARSUS, FIBULA AND TARSOMETATARSUS OF INDIAN EAGLE OWL (BUBO BENGALENSIS) [PDF]

Exploratory Animal and Medical Research, 2018
The present study was conducted on the tibiotarsus, fibula and tarsometatarsus of Indian eagle owl. Tibiotarsus was formed by the fusion of the distal end of the tibia with the proximal row of the tarsal bones. Proximal extremity presented large medial
