Background: In forensics, sex estimation is an important step in identification process which can be seen from gonial angle. The purpose of this study was to identify sexual dimorphism angle based on the difference external factors such as diet and environment children, assess their capacity a estimator. Study design: present consists 104 subjects (51 males 53 females) between 7 12 years age we...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the outcome of early interceptive treatment of primary anterior crossbites with posterior occlusal acrylic resin blocks in combination with a 2 × 4 appliance, and to examine the differences in craniofacial morphology between the stable and relapse groups. Lateral cephalograms of 46 subjects (17 males and 29 females; average mean age 4 years 2 months ...

The origin of premeiotic ribosomal DNA (rDNA) amplification in germ-line cells of Xenopus laevis has been examined using in situ RNA-DNA hybridization on cytological preparations, tritiated thymidine autoradiography, and isopycnic density gradient centrifugation. Primordial germ cells (PGC), from the time they first become localized in the genital ridge at day no. 4 of development, until approx...

Implicit to all models for mitotic spindle assembly is the view that centrosomes are essentially permanent structures. Yet, immunofluorescence revealed that spindles in larval brains of urchin mutants in Drosophila were frequently monastral but bipolar; the astral pole contained a centrosome while the opposing anastral pole showed neither gamma tubulin nor a radial array of astral microtubules....

This article evaluates the use of distraction osteogenesis in the treatment of mandibular retrognathia and laterognathia and the long term treatment results of the patients treated with this technique. The procedure was carried out in 5 subjects (3 males and 2 females, mean age 18.4 years) aged between 14 years and 27 years. In patients treated with bilateral mandibular distraction, it was obse...
