The growing interest in pregnancy-related low back and/or pelvic girdle pain has invoked research projects to this subject. Although it seems a modern syndrome, historical articles show that pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain (PPGP) was already known centuries ago. The purpose of the present article is to provide a summary review of performed studies on pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain. Remarkably, these studies show large differences in results with regard to, for example, incidence rates and relevant etiologic factors of pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain. These differences can be explained by the use of different definitions and descriptions of pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain between studies. In conclusion, it is necessary to search for an evidence-based overall definition of pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain in order to provide more knowledge about incidence rates, etiologic factors and other related subjects.

Growth and mechanical correlations of calcified cartilage in Batoidea: A histomorphological study using the Raja asterias model.
J Fish Biol

Article Synopsis
- This study examines how the growth and calcification of the appendicular skeleton in the Raja asterias affects its movement in water, highlighting the link between bone structure and fin mechanics.
- It identifies two growth patterns—crustal in larger skeletal parts and catenated in fin radials—showing how differences in development can influence fin flexibility and locomotion.
- The results suggest that unique calcification patterns, especially in the pelvic fins, evolve to meet the mechanical needs of swimming, emphasizing the adaptability of Batoidea fins through their joint structures and specialized designs.
Pregnancy-induced gait alterations: meta-regression evidence of spatiotemporal adjustments.

During pregnancy, women undergo significant physiological, hormonal, and biomechanical changes that influence their gait. The forward shift of the center of mass and increased joint loads often result in a "waddling gait," elevating the risk of falls. While gait changes during pregnancy have been documented, findings across studies remain inconsistent, particularly regarding variations at different pregnancy stages.

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a monoclonal lymphoid neoplasm derived from B cells and is one of the most common lymphomas among young adults in developed countries. It typically presents insidiously, often as a painless cervical lymphadenopathy or an asymptomatic mediastinal mass. B symptoms (fever, night sweats, and weight loss), fatigue, pruritus, or alcohol-induced pain may be present along with respiratory symptoms in cases of mediastinal involvement.

BACKGROUND Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy recessive 1 (LGMDR1) is an autosomal recessive degenerative muscle disorder characterized by progressive muscular weakness caused by pathogenic variants in the CAPN3 gene. Desmoplastic small round cell tumors (DSRCT) are ultra-rare and aggressive soft tissue sarcomas usually in the abdominal cavity, molecularly characterized by the presence of a EWSR1::WT1 fusion transcript. Mouse models of muscular dystrophy, including LGMDR1, present an increased risk of soft tissue sarcomas.

Bovine spastic syndrome (SS) is a progressive, adult-onset neuromuscular disorder (NMD). SS is inherited but the mode of inheritance is unclear. The aim of this study was to characterize the phenotype and to identify a possible genetic cause of SS by whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and focusing on protein-changing variants.
