Background Individuals who have undergone transfemoral amputation often difficulty donning and utilizing a conventional socket prosthesis. Osseointegrated prostheses may alleviate certain issues, potentially resulting in better outcomes, but few prospective studies either evaluated these outcomes or quantified the purported benefits. Questions/purposes (1) Did patient-reported outcome measures improve between baseline 2-year follow-up among those underwent osseointegration surgery after...
The decision to treat metastatic bone disease (MBD) surgically depends in part on patient life expectancy. We are unaware of an international analysis how expectancy among these patients has changed over time. Therefore, we asked (1) the for treated MBD time, and (2) which, if any, common primary cancer types associated with longer survival after treatment MBD?
Background Individuals who have undergone transhumeral amputation often difficulty wearing conventional socket-based prostheses, leading to frequent dissatisfaction and abandonment of the prosthesis. Osseointegration surgery may alleviate or mitigate many these issues by providing a firm, reliable attachment between humerus prosthesis, potentially better functionality quality life; however, it is unclear whether risks inherent transdermal bone-anchored implants outweigh potential functional...
Abstract Aim We tested whether we could detect geographical shifts in modelled‐suitable habitat. aim to enhance phylogenetic niche models of past suitable habitats for Sceloporus lineages by integrating modern and fossil occurrences with ecological comparative modelling methods. Specifically, hypothesized that our integrated approach is sensitive enough habitat between through evolutionary time. Location North America. Taxon lizards. Methods used extant occurrence data, general circulation...
Colour signalling traits are often lost over evolutionary time, perhaps because they increase vulnerability to visual predators or lose relevance in terms of sexual selection. Here, we used spectrometric and phylogenetic comparative analyses ask whether four independent losses a sexually selected blue patch spectrally similar, these equate decrease conspicuousness loss signal. We found that patches were two distinct ways: either increasing reflectance primarily at very long short...
Abstract As shown from several long‐term and time‐intensive studies, closely related, sympatric species can impose strong selection on one another, leading to dramatic examples of phenotypic evolution. Here, we use occurrence data identify clusters Sceloporus lizard test whether tend coexist with other that differ in body size, as would expect when there is competition between congeners. We found be grouped into 16 unique bioregions. Bioregions are located at higher latitudes larger have...
Fellowship-trained orthopaedic oncologists in the US military provide routine clinical care and also must maintain readiness to combat casualty care. However, low oncologic procedure volume may hinder ability of these surgeons relevant surgical expertise. Other low-volume specialties within Military Health System (MHS) have established partnerships with neighboring civilian centers increase volume, but need for similar has not been examined. The purpose this study was characterize practice...
Human land transformation alters features of the landscape that may favor or eliminate biodiversity. Understanding habitat use among species in human-affected ecosystems can inform management habitats and conservation species. The Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt central Mexico is a biological hot spot for lizard diversity under considerable anthropogenic pressures including grazing, agriculture, urbanization, climate change. Here, we used species-occupancy modeling to (1) identify...
Habitat associations provide clues to the resources that influence life of animals. Food distribution, structural microhabitat or degree insolation can determine species' strategies for energy acquisition, locomotor strategy thermoregulation. A growing body research suggests may be important not heat, but rather visual performance in communication, crypsis prey capture. Odonates (damselflies and dragonflies) are famous their heliothermic habitat associations. Megalagrion nigrohamatum...
Background: Superficial infection is a common minor complication of transcutaneous implants that can be challenging to predict or diagnose. Although it remains unclear whether superficial infections progress deep (which may require implant removal), predicting and treating any in these patients important. Given flap thinning during stage II surgery requires compromising vascularity for stability the skin penetration aperture, we hypothesized early temperature changes long-term risk. Methods:...

The vertebrate skull is a complex structure, and studies of shape have yielded considerable insight into the evolutionary forces shaping specialized phenotypes in organisms as diverse bats, frogs, fossorial animals. Here, we used phylogenetic comparative analyses CT scans male skulls from 57 species
Abstract Background Patients with complex polytrauma in the military and civilian settings are often exposed to substantial diagnostic medical radiation because of serial imaging studies for injury diagnosis subsequent management. This cumulative exposure may increase risk malignancy. is particularly true combat-injured servicemembers who receive care at a variety facilities worldwide. Currently, there no coordinated effort track amount each servicemember receives, nor surveillance program...
Despite playing a critical role in evolutionary processes and outcomes, relatively little is known about rates of recombination the vast majority species, including squamate reptiles-the second largest order extant vertebrates, many species which serve as important model organisms ecological studies. This paucity data has resulted limited resolution on questions related to causes consequences rate variation between populations, determinants within-genome variation, well general tempo...
