In the Iron Age, the Neo-Assyrian empire (c. 900-600 BC) conquered territory across southwest Asia and established regional capitals along its borders to secure its gains. Governors at these centers oversaw resource extraction and craft production for shipment to the imperial heartland in modern-day northern Iraq.

In this review, we specifically highlight key tools and techniques and explore how they have been applied to study the role of the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus in feeding behaviors. Additionally, we provide a detailed discussion of the advantages and limitations associated with each methodology.

- Biceps tendinosis is a less severe form of biceps tendinopathy that can cause pain and limitations in daily activities, particularly at the distal insertion site.
- Ultrasound (US) is an effective diagnostic tool for identifying distal biceps tendinosis, offering advantages over MRI, such as ease of use and convenience.
- Early diagnosis through US can improve treatment outcomes and help prevent progression to more serious tendon injuries.
Article Synopsis
- Evolved intraspecific variation, such as the color of jelly encasing spotted salamander eggs, may significantly affect ecosystem processes, though evidence in vertebrates has been limited.
- The study focused on how variations in jelly color (clear vs. white) could impact aquatic ecosystem properties like dissolved organic carbon, conductivity, and primary production through a mesocosm experiment.
- Results indicated that different color morphs of spotted salamanders influence key physiochemical properties, showcasing the ecological relevance of morphological variations in amphibians.
