Hourglass fascicular constrictions have been reported in fewer than 100 cases globally and only in the upper limb. The etiology remains unknown. Patients often present with self-limiting pain in the affected limb followed by flaccid paralysis.

Zoologists have adduced morphological convergence among embryonic stages of closely related taxa, which has been called the phylotypic stage of embryogenesis. Transcriptomic analyzes reveal an hourglass pattern of gene expression during plant and animal embryogenesis, characterized by the accumulation of evolutionarily older and conserved transcripts during mid-embryogenesis, whereas younger less-conserved transcripts predominate at earlier and later embryonic stages. In contrast, comparisons of embryonic gene expression among different animal phyla describe an inverse hourglass pattern, where expression is correlated during early and late stages but not during mid-embryo development.

Mechanical systems with moving points of contact-including rolling, sliding, and impacts-are common in engineering applications and everyday experiences. The challenges in analyzing such systems are compounded when an object dynamically explores the complex surface shape of a moving structure, as arises in familiar but poorly understood contexts such as hula hooping. We study this activity as a unique form of mechanical levitation against gravity and identify the conditions required for the stable suspension of an object rolling around a gyrating body.
