Scaling and functional morphology in strigiform hind limbs
Strigiformes are an order of raptorial birds consisting exclusively of owls: the Tytonidae (barn owls) and the Strigidae (true owls), united by a suite of adaptations aiding a keen predatory lifestyle, including robust hind limb elements modified for grip strength. To assess variation in hind limb morphology, we analysed how the dimensions of the major hind limb elements in subfossil and modern...
متن کاملCorrelation of altitude and compartment pressures in porcine hind limbs.
Recent wartime contingencies have demanded frequent aeromedical evacuation of polytrauma patients, all with risk factors for the development of compartment syndrome. This study investigated the effect of altitude on the pressure in uninjured myofascial compartments of 10 pigs as part of a program with the ultimate goal of determining the behavior of an injured extremity in a changing altitude e...
متن کاملCryopreservation and replantation of amputated rat hind limbs
BACKGROUND In spite of the relatively high success rate of limb replantation, many patients cannot undergo replantation surgery because the preservation time of an amputated limb is only about six hours. In addition, although allotransplantation of composite tissues is being performed more commonly with increasingly greater success rates, the shortage of donors limits the number of patients tha...
متن کاملArteriographic Evaluation of Laminitis Digits in the Hind Limbs of Dairy Cattle
Objective: Laminitis is one of the main causes of lameness in dairy cattle. In this situation the corium blood circulation is disrupted and the production of healthy horny hoof wall is reduced. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the arteriographic pattern of the digital arterial branches in the laminitic digits and to compare them with the normal digits. Design: Original study. Animals...
متن کاملInterspecific scaling of the morphology and posture of the limbs during the locomotion of cats (Felidae).
For phylogenetically diverse mammals, ranging from small rodents to large ungulates, the generalization that limb erectness increases with increased size is supported by some size-dependent scaling relationships of appendicular skeletal anatomy as well as a limited number of direct observations of limb posture during locomotion. If size alone is the causal basis for different limb posture, then...
