This book was released on 2011 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Truncated abstract] The temporal bone contributes to the walls and floor of the cranium, houses the organs of hearing and balance, and is perforated by numerous foramina and canals for the passage of nerves and blood vessels. The aim of the current study was to analyse morphological variation in the human cranium and particularly the temporal bone in a normal population of Australian adults by morphometric techniques as an aid to a better clinical understanding of their anatomy. As such, many issues were explored but there was no unifying hypothesis. Computed tomography scans of 101 adult human crania were loaded into the Amira medical imaging software to extract three-dimensional coordinates of 130 landmarks on the temporal bone and cranium. These data were subjected to traditional morphometric and geometric morphometric analyses (GMA) to explore patterns of shape variation with respect to differences in cranial size, sex and age. It was found that GMA is a more sensitive discriminator of shape differences than is traditional morphometric analysis. The results indicate that most measurements of the cranium scale with size, but some parts of the middle and inner ear are relatively constant irrespective of cranial size. The GMA also found that large crania tend to be more extensively pneumatised than small crania. Moreover, while the centroid size of temporal bone pneumatisation is not sexually dimorphic, there are subtle sex differences in the posterior and inferior limits of pneumatisation A finding of the age analysis was that the lateral portions of the temporal bone tend to undergo an inferior displacement in the elderly. The GMA found there were some areas where age and sex interact in unusual ways such that sex differences are either reduced or became more marked with age...

This book was released on 2023-08-29 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since ancient times, asymptomatic bone variations have been studied in many different disciplines. In radiology, for example, they enable the differentiation of the typical from the anomalous, but in biological anthropology they are especially useful in answering questions about humans and their diachronic and synchronic variability. This book provides an easily accessible presentation of the osseous variations of the postcranial skeleton (from the spine to the feet), which are sometimes poorly understood by the scientific community. These variations are examined one by one, with definitions, population frequencies and complete illustrations given for each. Asymptomatic Osseous Variations of the Postcranial Human Skeleton is intended as a comprehensive reference manual for further research on these types of skeletal variations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handsome volume is the first photographically illustrated textbook to present for both the student and the working archaeologist the anatomy of the human skeleton and the study of skeletal remains from an anthropological perspective. It describes the skeleton as not just a structure, but a working system in the living body. The opening chapter introduces basics of osteology, or the study of bones, the specialized and often confusing terminology of the field, and methods for dealing scientifically with bone specimens. The second chapter covers the biology of living bone: its structure, growth, interaction with the rest of the body, and response to disease and injury. The remainder of the book is a head-to-foot, structure-by-structure, bone-by-bone tour of the skeleton. More than 400 photographs and drawings and more than 80 tables illustrate and analyze features the text describes. In each chapter structures are discussed in detail so that not only can landmarks of bones be identified, but their functions can be understood and their anomalies identified as well. Each bone's articulating partners are listed, and the sequence of ossification of each bone is presented. Descriptive sections are followed by analyses of applications: how to use specific bones to estimate age, stature, gender, biological affinities, and state of health at the time of the individual's death. Anthropologists, archaeologists, and paleontologists as well as physicians, medical examiners, anatomists, and students of these disciplines will find this an invaluable reference and textbook.

Download or read book Forensic Anthropology and Medicine written by Aurore Schmitt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-11-09 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent political, religious, ethnic, and racial conflicts, as well as mass disasters, have significantly helped to bring to light the almost unknown dis- pline of forensic anthropology. This science has become particularly useful to forensic pathologists because it aids in solving various puzzles, such as id- tifying victims and documenting crimes. On topics such as mass disasters and crimes against humanity, teamwork between forensic pathologists and for- sic anthropologists has significantly increased over the few last years. This relationship has also improved the study of routine cases in local medicolegal institutes. When human remains are badly decomposed, partially skelet- ized, and/or burned, it is particularly useful for the forensic pathologist to be assisted by a forensic anthropologist. It is not a one-way situation: when the forensic anthropologist deals with skeletonized bodies that have some kind of soft tissue, the advice of a forensic pathologist would be welcome. Forensic anthropology is a subspecialty/field of physical anthropology. Most of the background on skeletal biology was gathered on the basis of sk- etal remains from past populations. Physical anthropologists then developed an indisputable “know-how”; nevertheless, one must keep in mind that looking for a missing person or checking an assumed identity is quite a different matter. Pieces of information needed by forensic anthropologists require a higher level of reliability and accuracy than those granted in a general archaeological c- text. To achieve a positive identification, findings have to match with e- dence, particularly when genetic identification is not possible.
