Article Abstract
Comparative psychologists have been criticized for using a limited number of species in drawing general conclusions about broad behavioral processes. There are numerous examples, however, of the inclusion by behavior analysts of atypical subjects in their research. To examine the frequency and diversity in subject species used in the experimental analysis of behavior (EAB), JEAB publications between 1958 and 2023 were reviewed for their use of subjects other than pigeons, rats, humans, and nonhuman primates. Two hundred and twenty-one occurrences of these atypical subjects were found across 204 articles, with 65 distinct species across both vertebrate and invertebrate taxa. The highest spikes in the frequency of atypical subject use occurred in the earliest and latest JEAB issues. The results are discussed in terms of the reasons for using diverse species, trends in use over time, and how EAB might benefit from continued, or even increased, diversification in the species used in its research.

Atypical proximal tibial fractures in adolescents are rare, particularly when linked to hormonal therapy for short stature. This case series reports the clinical and imaging features of atypical proximal tibial and distal femoral physeal fractures in male adolescents undergoing combined growth hormone (GH) and aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy for idiopathic short stature. We report three cases of skeletally immature male adolescents (ages 12-16) treated with GH and anastrozole who presented with acute leg pain following low-energy trauma during soccer.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory spondyloarthropathy that predominantly affects the axial skeleton. While hallmark features such as sacroiliitis and syndesmophytes are well recognized, the presence of mediastinal masses may pose a diagnostic dilemma and raise concerns for malignancy or atypical infection. We report a middle-aged man in the fifth decade of life with longstanding untreated AS presenting with progressive quadriparesis.

A De Garengeot hernia describes the rare occurrence of an appendix located within a femoral hernia sac. An incidence of appendiceal inflammation associated with a De Garengeot hernia is an even rarer surgical finding. A woman in her 70s presented to a district general hospital with a two-week history of a mildly tender right-sided groin lump.

Motor neuron disease and parkinsonism syndromes associated with chronic HIV infection are extremely rare, with only a few cases reported in major medical databases. We report a case from Brazil involving a patient with a chronic, well-controlled HIV infection for approximately 15 years, demonstrating a good response to highly active antiretroviral therapy. Despite the absence of viral replication, the patient developed atypical clinical and topographical features consistent with both pyramidal and extrapyramidal syndromes.
