Summary To sustain life, humans and other terrestrial animals must maintain a tight balance of water gain and water loss each day. 1 , 2 , 3 However, the evolution of human water balance physiology is poorly understood due to the absence of comparati

Significance The evolution of humans’ distinct bipedal gait remains a focus of research and debate. Many reconstructions of hominin locomotor evolution assume climbing capability trades off against walking economy, with improvement in one requiring

Chimpanzee energetics, ecology, and evolution

Autor: Mary H. Brown, Herman Pontzer, Stephen R. Ross, Melissa Emery Thompson

Chimpanzees have the largest relative brain size, greatest reproductive output, and longest lifespan of any non-human ape; they also have the highest level of physical activity in the wild, as measured by daily walking and climbing distances. In this

Alpha crystallins are small heat shock proteins essential to normal ocular lens function. They also help maintain homeostasis in many non-ocular vertebrate tissues and their expression levels change in multiple diseases of the nervous and cardiovascu

Color dissociation artifacts in double Maddox rod cyclodeviation testing

Autor: Mary H. Brown, Kurt Simons, Kyle Arnoldi

Publikováno v: Ophthalmology. 101(12)

Background: The double Maddox rod test, based on a red Maddox rod in front of one eye and a clear Maddox rod in front of the other, is used to measure cyclodeviation, typically in patients with superior oblique muscle pareses. Discrepant results betw
