Description
An account of the resource
The grasping capabilities and gait kinematics characteristic of primates are often argued to be adaptations for safely moving on small terminal branches. The goal of this study was to identify whether Eastern gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis)-arboreal rodents that frequently move and forage on small branches, lack primate-like grasping and gait patterns, and arguably represent extant analogs of a stem primate ancestor-adjust gait kinematics to narrow and nonhorizontal branches. We studied locomotor kinematics of free-ranging and laboratory-housed squirrels moving over various substrates. We used high-speed video to film (a) a population of free-ranging squirrels moving on natural substrates and (b) laboratory-housed squirrels moving on horizontal poles. Substrates were coded as small, medium, or large relative to squirrel trunk diameter, and as inclined, declined, or horizontal. Free-ranging squirrels used more gallops and half-bounds on small- and medium-sized substrates, and more high-impact bounds, with reduced limb-lead durations, on declined substrates. Laboratory squirrels moved at higher speeds than free-ranging squirrels and responded to decreasing diameter by using more gallops and half-bounds, lowering speed, and-controlling for speed-increasing mean duty factor, mean number of supporting limbs, and relative forelimb lead duration. Our inability to detect substantial diameter or orientation-related gait adjustments in the wild may be due to a limited accounting of confounding influences (e.g., substrate compliance). Ultimately, studies assessing stability measures (e.g., center of mass fluctuations and peak vertical force) are required to assess whether primates' enhanced grasping and gait patterns engender performance advantages on narrow or oblique substrates.

Description
An account of the resource
Heart failure is a leading cause of death worldwide. While heart transplantation is the most successful treatment for end-stage heart failure, the scarcity in donor hearts has ushered in the use of alternative therapies, such as the left ventricular assist device (LVAD). This patient population may present with low frequency, but they require disease-specific management. Learners may fine-tune these principles in a safe learning environment, such as a medical simulation lab. Here, we present a case in which a patient with a LVAD sustained serious traumatic injuries.
