Unlabelled: We report our experience of Sugioka transtrochanteric valgus osteotomy (TVO) for hinge abduction in children. The advantages are early union with simple fixation and preservation of proximal femoral geometry. Lateral displacement of the greater trochanter improves abductor limp. A total of 24 patients of mean age 10.2 years underwent TVO. The neck shaft angle increased by mean 11.75 degrees. Migration index increased by mean 3.88%. Average limb length discrepancy at final follow-up was 10.8 mm. The mean modified Iowa hip score was 75.1. Our results indicate that Sugioka TVO is a successful procedure for hinge abduction of the hip.
Level Of Evidence: Level IV (case series).

Maintaining balance during human walking hinges on the exquisite orchestration of whole-body angular momentum (WBAM). This study delves into the regulation of WBAM during gait by examining balance strategies in response to upper-body moment perturbations in the frontal plane. A portable Angular Momentum Perturbator (AMP) was utilized in this work, capable of generating perturbation torques on the upper body while minimizing the impact on the center of mass (CoM) excursions.

Nothronychus graffami was a large therizinosaur represented by a single well-preserved individual from the Turonian Tropic Shale of southern Utah. It is characterized by an enlarged abdomen, small tail, and an extensively pneumatized axial skeleton, and is frequently regarded as herbivorous. Given the overall tail reduction and the development of a wide fused synsacrum with widely spaced acetabulae, it is reconstructed with an anteriorly rotated femur and a displaced resting ground reaction force anterior to the center of mass.

Modern biotechnology necessitates robust biosecurity protocols to address the risk of engineered biological threats. Current efforts focus on screening DNA and rejecting the synthesis of dangerous elements but face technical and logistical barriers. Screening should integrate into a broader strategy that addresses threats at multiple stages of development and deployment.

Facial communication regulates many aspects of social life in human and nonhuman primates. Empirically identifying distinct facial expressions and their underlying functions can help illuminate the evolution of species' communicative complexity. We focused on bared-teeth faces (BTFs), a highly versatile facial expression in the tolerant macaque Macaca tonkeana.

Purpose: Proximal humerus fractures account for 4-5% of all fractures in adults and affect females more than males. With the advent of special locking plates, the treatment trend has shifted more towards a surgical approach. These methods have produced good results but very high complications rates have been reported in the literature.
