Rethinking brachycephaly: Anatomical implications and health considerations in lagomorphs

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Brachycephaly in domestic rabbits is increasingly perceived by welfare organizations as associated with significant health complications, particularly oral pathologies. Despite this perception, comparative anatomical research into rabbit brachycephaly is limited compared to that of dogs and cats, compelling an in‐depth examination of its ...

Paleopathology of a putative colossosaurian caudal vertebra (Neosauropoda: Titanosauria) from the Presidente Prudente Formation, Brazil

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Studies investigating paleopathologies in sauropods remain scarce despite their relative abundance in the fossil record. In this study we report new occurrence of paleopathological features, corresponding to a neoplasm found in a middle caudal vertebra (MCT.R.2120) of an advanced titanosaur from the Presidente Prudente Formation (Bauru Basin ...

Efficacy and safety of levodopa in secondary dystonia due to neurological Wilson disease (LIDWID)

Annals of Movement Disorders
BACKGROUND: Dystonia is the most prevalent movement disorder in neurologic Wilson disease (NWD). While levodopa has demonstrated efficacy in certain forms of primary dystonia, its effectiveness in NWD has not been evaluated.

Human evolution and the obstetrical dilemma: The pelvic floor hypothesis

The 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.

Epidemiological study on a Wilson disease group of patients

Acta Marisiensis - Seria Medica
Wilson disease is a disorder of copper metabolism caused by genetic mutations in the ATP7B gene which lead to the accumulation of copper in the body. This study was conducted using an online questionnaire consisting of 32 questions in a group of patients

Wilson Disease Presenting as Isolated Dysarthria in a Paediatric Patient: A Rare Case Report

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research
Wilson disease is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene. It involves the liver, brain, eyes, blood, kidneys, and endocrine glands. The usual manifestations are hepatic (approximately 40%), neurological (approximately 35%),

Biomechanical strain patterns in Meckel's cartilage underlie mandibular variation in FGFR2 mouse models

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Sequence variations in fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) are associated with craniosynostosis syndromes, disrupting craniofacial development, yet early mandibular alterations remain poorly characterized. This study examined Meckel's cartilage (MC) and mandibular morphology in mouse models of Apert (Fgfr2+/P253R) and Crouzon ...

Morphological plasticity in the dentition of the lungfish Gnathorhiza from the Permian of Brazil: A population‐level geometric morphometric analysis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental plates are pivotal in the lungfish paleontological record, constituting highly mineralized structures resilient to diagenetic processes. This study provides a detailed description and quantitative shape analysis of 95 newly discovered Gnathorhiza sp. dental plates from the Middle–Late Permian Corumbataí Formation, Brazil.

Fatty liver disease is not associated with increased mortality in the elderly: A prospective cohort study

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Graphical abstract summarizing the study design, main results and key findings Abstract Background and Aims Fatty liver disease (FLD) has been associated with excess mortality. Screening for hepatic steatosis (HS) in patients with metabolic dysfunction is therefore recommended by several guidelines, despite a paucity of evidence on the clinical ...
