Characterization of Apoptotic Cells in Equine Proximal Suspensory Desmitis
Suspensory desmitis is a common problem and affects a broad cross section of equine athletes in various disciplines. For this study, the proximal portion of the suspensory ligament was collected from 6 horses without suspensory ligament injury (16 ligaments) and 4 horses with degeneration of the …

The Nuances of Locomotor Strategies in Suspensory Primates (Apes): Locomotor Costs in Terms of Skeletal Injury
… in locomotion, ecology, and body mass among suspensory apes. Second, to quantify change in compact bone geometry associated with bone fracture and bone remodeling in suspensory apes.</p> <p>To obtain the first goal, fracture frequency, severity, and remodeling are examined in limb bones from …

The Ape Ecological Niche: Posture and Hand Use in Gibbons and Macaques and the Influence of Manual Skill on Cognitive Development in Apes and Humans
… examines the general model that orthogrady and suspensory postures were the antecedents for enhanced manipulative ability in apes, which consequently set the stage for enhanced cognitive abilities in early hominoids. The primary hypothesis is that if single-handed prehensility is enhanced by …

The vertebral column in humans and selected non-human primates and the functional structure of its transitional elements
… and gorilla), pronograde (baboon and vervet) and suspensory (orang-utan) patterns of locomotion. Measurements of vertebral components are taken on the 7th to 21st vertebrae (C7-L2 in humans). Various ratios are calculated and standardised by the species body weight. The Spearman Rank Correlation …

Evaluation of corrective mating in Jersey cattle
… udder, rear udder height, rear udder width, and suspensory ligament, but were small for the other 7 traits. Maternal effects and the direct additive - additive maternal genetic covariance were unimportant. Sire predicted differences and four measures of dam's merit (dam's phenotypic score, this …

Measurement and analysis of equine radial hoof strain and lower forelimb motion
… is attenuated in the hoof, distal joints and suspensory system is still not fully understood. This study aims to develop instrumentation capable of measuring internal hoof strain in conjunction with a method of recording the three dimensional (31)) kinematics of the joints of the distal. …

The Effects of Foot and Udder Scoring on Cow and Calf Performance
… bottle shaped teats, and absence of a median suspensory ligament; nine indicates weak pasterns, curled toes, small symmetrical teats, and a tight udder attachment. Cows that exhibited FA and CS scores from four to six were considered acceptable. Cows that exhibited scores outside this range …

Nonlinear Viscoelastic Behavior of Ligaments and Tendons: Models and Experiments
… between the mechanical response and structure of suspensory ligaments was examined by performing state-of-the-art small angle x-ray diffraction experiments in tandem with incremental stress relaxation tests. Specifically, small angle x-ray diffraction was used to measure changes in strain and …

Mechanical Characterization of Swine Uterosacral and Cardinal Ligaments
… and cardinal ligament (CL) are the two major suspensory tissues of the uterus, cervix, and vagina. These supportive structures can be weakened or damaged, leading to the development of pelvic floor disorders (PFDs) such as urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, and pelvic organ prolapse. In …

Biaxial Mechanical Evaluation of Uterosacral and Cardinal Ligaments
… and the cardinal ligament (CL) are two major suspensory tissues that provide structural support to the vagina/cervix/uterus complex. These ligaments have been studied mainly due for their role in the surgical repair for pelvic organ prolapse (POP). POP, which is the descent of a pelvic organ …

Funktionell-anatomische Untersuchungen an den Zehengelenken (Articulationes interphalangeae) der Schultergliedmaße des Pferdes
… In the proximal interphalangeal joint, the suspensory apparatus, in addition to weight bearing, has an enhancing effect on the subchondral bone density. The subchondral bone density is significantly higher on the distal articular surface of the proximal phalanx than on the distal articular …

MORPHOLOGICAL FEATURES OF THE REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS IN DOMESTIC SPECIES IN RELATION TO WATER MOVEMENT CONTROL, HYPONUTRITION AND ENVIRONMENTAL INFLUENCES IN FETAL AND PREPUBERTAL LIFE, AND METABOLISM REGULATOR FACTORS.
… testis and regression of the cranial suspensory ligament during foetal development, resulting in transabdominal descent of the testes. INSL3, also known as Leydig insulin-like peptide or relaxin-like factor, is supposed to induce the growth of the gubernaculum in male foetuses, thus …
