| From reading the entire article, I did become aware of 2 animal studies published in the 1980s that suggested a relationship between "forcible movement" and the development of ossifications in rabbits, but not between the application of "gentle movement" and the development of ossifications. Treatment-related developmental effects including decreased mean live fetal weights, incomplete ossifications of the skull, thoracic vertebra, sternebra, and skeletal variations (cervical ribs, supernumerary ribs, vertebral count and sacral arch variations) in rats at the highest dose of vorinostat tested. Decreased range of motion can result from bony deformations or ectopic ossifications around the joint (osteophytes). |
