The aim of this study was to assess the objective and subjective functional outcomes after foveal reattachment proximal or complete ulnar-sided triangular fibrocartilage complex lesions by two surgical procedures: an open technique arthroscopically assisted repair. done prospectively on 49 wrists affected post-traumatic distal radio-ulnar joint instability. Twenty-four patients were treated with (Group 1) 25 2). Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a clear detachment in 67% cases....
While there is no consensus about the definition of complexity, it widely accepted that ability to produce uncertainty most prominent characteristic complex systems. We introduce new metrics purport quantify complexity living organisms and social organizations based on their levels uncertainty. consider three major dimensions regarding complexity: diversity number system elements categories these elements; flexibility which bears upon variations in combinability refers patterns connection...
We tested the social complexity hypothesis which posits that animals living in complex environments should use communication systems. focused on two components of vocal complexity: diversity (number categories calls) and flexibility (degree gradation between calls). compared acoustic structure signals groups macaques belonging to four species with varying levels uncertainty (i.e. complexity) tolerance (the higher degree tolerance, uncertainty): intolerant species, Japanese rhesus macaques,...
Males living in multi-male groups are both strong rivals and potential allies. In several primate species they regularly interact through ritualized exchanges known as greetings. We studied five captive of Tonkean macaques (Macaca tonkeana) to test hypotheses regarding the social function found that greetings were mostly reciprocal interactions, often involved physical contact facial displays. Although initiated by higher-ranking individual each dyad, subordinates could initiate...
An Italian version of the patient-rated wrist/hand evaluation (PRWHE) questionnaire was obtained through standardized process cross-cultural adaptation. The PRWHE-Italian (IT) tested on 63 patients in order to evaluate comprehension, reliability and validity as correlated validated disabilities arm shoulder hand (DASH)-IT SF-36. No had difficulty completing PRWHE-IT questionnaire. Psychometric testing demonstrated high (Cronbach’s alpha coefficient = 0.9607) internal external (Pearson...
This paper is a review of the various surgical techniques used in repair or reconstruction scapholunate ligament according to clinical stages and anatomic-pathologic findings. Arthroscopy permits direct evaluation injury status articular surfaces. Specific indications for each type tear are proposed, from different types dorsal capsulodesis bone-ligament-bone tenodesis procedures. The authors' preferred literature expected outcomes presented.
Celebrations and bursts of communal joy can occur spontaneously in human communities based on mechanisms emotional contagion. Some examples similar collective excitement have been reported animals when they reunite or anticipate rewards, but little is known about the processes meaning these multiple interactions. We experimentally studied such arousals two captive groups Tonkean macaques (Macaca tonkeana) within context reunions following temporary separation subgroups. compared behaviors...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been considered the most appropriate examination for wrist ligament injuries diagnosis, but it frequently fails to assess intrinsic lesion. Therefore, arthroscopy is required enhance and define diagnosis.
It was long assumed that only humans can distinguish the living from dead. Renewed interest in this question over last decade has led several authors to assert non-human primates are also aware of death. We investigate issue by comparing behaviours monkeys and great apes toward helpless conspecifics, basing our analysis on published reports. first examine mothers towards body their dead offspring. They may carry corpse for days or more before abandoning it. groom, inspect protect it,...
Knowledge of animals' hormonal status is important for conservation studies in wild or semi-free-ranging conditions as well behavioural and clinical experiments conducted laboratory research, mostly performed on rats mice. Faecal sampling a useful non-invasive method to obtain steroid hormone assessments. Nevertheless, studies, unlike other contexts, faecal less utilised. One the issues raised necessity collect samples belonging different animals, separately. Usually, researchers using solve...
Having a thorough understanding of animal feeding behaviour is basic aim in ecology. Food represents crucial resource that can strongly rule populations, especially where food supplies are seasonal, such as temperate areas. In Italy, sub-Mediterranean forests dominated by deciduous oaks commonly inhabited the yellow-necked mouse Apodemus flavicollis, wood A. sylvaticus and bank vole Myodes glareolus. Despite rich literature regarding their diet composition northern Europe, to our knowledge...
Although small carnivore distribution has been widely studied in several countries, not all techniques used for mustelids survey can be efficiently applied every area and scarce information exists on the effectiveness of different techniques. For this reason we tested three methods to detect presence abundance European pine marten a forested central Italy. Considering naturally low density species its nocturnal elusive habits, choice was addressed indirect methods: camera trapping, hair...

Abstract The theory of sexual selection predicts that females should be discriminatory in the choice partners. Females can express their two ways. In direct mate choice, they show preferences for certain indirect select partners by displaying sexually attractive traits, thus eliciting contest competition between males. We focused on a primate species which advertise timing ovulation and studied balance these strategies. tested predictions related to three hypotheses about female namely...
