Although the connection between muscular strength and flatfoot condition is well-established, the impact of corrective exercises on these muscles remains inadequately explored. This study aimed to assess the impact of intrinsic- versus extrinsic-first corrective exercise programs on muscle morphometry and navicular drop in boys with flexible flatfoot. Twenty-five boys aged 10-12 with flexible flatfoot participated, undergoing a 12-week corrective exercise program, with a shift in focus at six weeks.

The aim of the study was to investigate the shape of the mandible in Wistar albino rats using the geometric morphometric method. However, 'Is the shape of the mandible different in rats depending on gender?' the question formed the hypothesis of the study. For this purpose, a total of 52 rat mandibles, 31 female and 21 male rats, were used in the study.

Background: Fast and reliable species identification of black flies is essential for research proposes and effective vector control. Besides traditional identification based on morphology, which is usually supplemented with molecular methods, geometric morphometrics (GM) has emerged as a promising tool for identification. Despite its potential, no specific GM techniques have been established for the identification of black fly species.

The study aimed to compare the morphometric and morphologic analyses of the bone structures of temporomandibular joint and masticatory muscles on Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in 62 healthy subjects and 33 subjects with temporomandibular dysfunction (TMDS) aged between 18 and 56 years. In addition, a machine learning (ML) pipeline involving the Random Forest classifier was used to automatically detect TMDS. Thirty parameters (including age and gender) associated with the condylar process, articular tubercle, mandibular fossa, ramus mandible, joint space, and masticatory muscles were examined using CBCT.

A new species of from the Kohima District (Nagaland of North-East India) is described and illustrated based on both molecular data (the ITS region of nuclear DNA) and morphometric analyses (clustering, PCA, DA, and MANOVA). The new species resembles cordata but differs with respect to the shape of the sepal (oblong, incurved at the margin vs. lanceolate, not incurved at the margin), petals (oblong or linear vs.
