High intra‐individual variation in mean scores of behavioral traits across time indicated no repeatability. Abstract Animal personality is defined as consistent individual differences across time and situations, but little is known about how or when those differences are established during development. Likewise, several studies described the personality structure of adult capuchin monkeys, without assessing the ontogeny of these personality traits. We analyzed the behavioral repertoire of 12 wild...

Rhesus macaques (in the photograph) as well as other Macaca species reliably disperse the seeds of many plant families. Photo credit: Suresh Roy. Abstract Seed dispersal is an ecological process crucial for forest regeneration and recruitment. To date, most studies on frugivore seed dispersal have used the seed dispersal effectiveness framework and have documented seed‐handling mechanisms, dispersal distances and the effect of seed handling on germination. In contrast, there has been no exploration...

Relative tail length decreases with a rise in altitude and subsequent decrease in temperature regardless of subspecies. Abstract Allen's rule (1877) predicts ecogeographical anatomical variation in appendage proportions as a function of body temperature regulation. This phenomenon has been tested in a variety of animal species. In macaques, relative tail length (RTL) is one of the most frequently measured appendages to test Allen's rule. These studies have relied on museum specimens or the invasive...

Increase in the Ngogo chimpanzee community size over 15 years between 2004–2018. Abstract I have spent over 40 years studying the behavior of our closest living relatives, the apes. In this paper, I review my research on the spacing, mating, and vocal behavior of gibbons and orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus) and the vocal and social behavior of chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). I devote special attention to results derived from a 25‐year‐long study of a remarkable and extraordinarily large group of chimpanzees...

Abstract Background Small bowel transplant (SBT) is a surgical procedure that may be used in patients with pathology resulting in severe intestinal failure resistant to conventional forms of surgical and nonsurgical treatment. Intestinal failure is defined as the failure of enterocytes to absorb sufficient macronutrients, water, and/or electrolytes to sustain homeostasis and/or promote growth. With the advancement of surgical techniques...

Abstract Purpose To compare the tumor size measurements assessed by computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) versus measurements of resected pathologic specimens from patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Methods This study included 114 patients with histologically confirmed PDAC who underwent contrast-enhanced...

Abstract Purpose Retrograde pyelography (RPG) is used in some centers to further evaluate patients with incompletely opacified segments on CT urography (CTU). This study intends to evaluate the utility of this imaging combination in terms of the yield of abnormal findings on the follow up RPG. Methods In this retrospective study, we searched...

Abstract Purpose MRI proton density fat fraction (PDFF) can be calculated using magnitude (MRI-M) or complex (MRI-C) MRI data. The purpose of this study was to identify, assess, and compare the accuracy of common PDFF thresholds for MRI-M and MRI-C for assessing hepatic steatosis in patients with obesity, using histology as reference. Methods ...

Abstract Objective The purpose of this article is to review the imaging findings and genomics of granulosa cell tumors (GCTs) in order to aid in diagnosis and management of GCTs. GCTs are the most common type of sex cord-stromal tumors of the ovary. They are usually diagnosed initially with ultrasound and are subsequently further characterized with CT and MRI. PET/CT is often ordered as well to measure the extent of disease and for...

Abstract Background To describe the frequency of patients returning to work after treatment for oropharyngeal cancer and to identify predictors and physical barriers that might interfere with the return to work process. Methods Cross‐sectional study including 295 patients. Data were collected regarding work/sick leave situation at 1 month before diagnosis and 15 months after diagnosis. The situation before diagnosis was retrospectively recalled by the patients. Two subscales and two single...

Abstract Background The submental island flap (SMIF) is frequently utilized as an alternative to free tissue transfer (FTT) in oral cavity reconstruction. Methods Studies directly comparing SMIF and FTT for oral cavity defects were included. Data were pooled with random‐effects meta‐analysis to calculate standardized mean differences and risk differences. Heterogeneity was evaluated with the I 2 statistic. Results Five studies were included in the analysis. The aggregate sample sizes...

Abstract Background Providing patient with cancer with appropriate information following the disclosure of a cancer diagnosis has multiple benefits. The objective was to evaluate the quality of the information received during an announcement for head and neck cancer and to determine predictive factors. Methods We conducted a prospective two‐center study using self‐questionnaires to assess the patient's perception of the quality of the announcement. Results Satisfaction scores on the...
