Summary: The study compared the origin and branches of the phrenic nerve in the diaphragm of the crab-eating fox and domestic dog, revealing differences in distribution and branching patterns between the two species. The phrenic nerve in the crab-eating fox originates from the ventral branches of the fifth, sixth, and seventh cervical spinal nerves, while in the domestic dog, it consists of costosternal trunk and lumbar branch components.

Summary: This study examined the anatomical relationship between axillary lymph node flaps (ALNFs) and brachial lymph node flaps (BLNFs) in the forelimb of Sprague-Dawley rats. The study reported the physical characteristics of ALNFs and BLNFs, including their area, number of lymph nodes, lengths, and diameters of vascular pedicles. The study also proposed an efficient method for studying lymph node flaps.

Summary: The study reveals that the evolution of early tetrapod forelimbs is related to limb-substrate interactions, with specializations for weight support appearing later. Early tetrapods exhibited a unique forelimb locomotor mode unlike that of any extant animal.

Summary: The loss of beta cell mass and function in aged population is closely related to the prevalence of Type 2 diabetes. This study focuses on the causal relations between aging and age-related pancreatic islets degeneration using rhesus monkeys as an animal model. The findings indicate that the decreased islet size, compromised insulin secretion, and loss of beta cell identity markers are key molecular changes in islet senescence.

Summary: This study presents a comprehensive parcellation of the rhesus macaque subcortex using high-resolution ex vivo structural imaging scan, which was then warped to an in vivo population template to produce the Subcortical Atlas of the Rhesus Macaque (SARM) with 210 primary regions-of-interest (ROIs). The SARM allows for analysis at different resolutions and broader labeling of functional signals, making it suitable for various research purposes within the neuroimaging community.

Summary: Researchers redesigned an S100A9 vaccine that successfully produced antibodies and showed anti-thrombotic effects in cynomolgus monkeys. The vaccine was able to neutralize the anti-thrombotic effects of the produced antibodies and did not prolong bleeding time in vaccinated monkeys. Further studies are needed to enhance the vaccine's effectiveness and safety, but it may offer a promising approach to improving adherence to antiplatelet drugs in clinical settings.

Summary: The study utilized photoacoustic microscopy to investigate the structural and functional changes of cerebral vasculature in rhesus monkeys, revealing both vasodilatation and vasoconstriction under hypoxic conditions. The results suggest that photoacoustic microscopy is a promising method for studying neurovascular coupling and cerebral vascular diseases.

Summary: Anatomical variations in the ventral laminae of C6 and/or C7 vertebral bodies were observed in two species of wild foxes in southern Brazil. These variations were considered non-interfering with function and may be attributed to environmental factors rather than genetic ones. Further studies are needed to explore the relationship between cause and effect of these vertebral deformities in wild canids.

Summary: This study aimed to measure the mass of intrinsic muscles of the thoracic limb in neotropical species of the Carnivora order and to establish comparative conjectures. Results showed different characteristics in muscle mass distribution among different species of carnivorans, related to their demands for cursoriality, versatility, and manual strength. The analysis revealed a significant overlap between muscle mass distribution and the phylogeny of carnivorans, indicating a correlation between locomotor habits and muscle mass distribution.

Summary: The objective of this study was to histologically describe the structure of the testis and epididymis and identify the distribution of specific proteins in lizards. The study found the presence of neutral glycoproteins in the testicular albuginea, and a simple epididymal duct epithelium composed of secretory cells in E. bilineatus. Positive immunoreactions for alpha-SMA were observed in the connective tissue of the tunica albuginea in all three lizards, while positive immunoreactions for desmin were accentuated in the testicular albuginea of E. bilineatus. Only E. perditus and E. bilineatus showed positive immunoreaction in the epididymis.

Summary: Studies on brain anatomy can provide insights into the evolution and behavior of wild animals. This study compared the brain anatomy and volumes of three species of neotropical carnivorans and found no differences in the proportional volumes of the brain segments analyzed. It suggests that social behavior traits and sensorimotor skills may not be distinct enough to be reflected in these brain segments.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the dimensions, topography, and arterial supply of the thyroid gland in Brazilian shorthair cats to provide additional data for diagnosing and treating feline thyroid diseases. The study found no significant difference between the average measurements of right and left lobes, with a positive linear correlation between their lengths and widths. Surgeons should be cautious of length asymmetry between the lobes and the single artery supplying each lobe in Brazilian shorthair cats.
