the asmari formation was deposited in the foreland basin of southwest iran (zagros basin). carbonate sequences of the asmari formation consist mainly of large benthic foraminifera along with other skeletal and non-skeletal components. three assemblage zones have been recognized by distribution of these large foraminifera in the study area that indicate oligocene age (rupelian-chattian). absence...

INTRODUCTION Chronological age, dental development, height and weight measurements, sexual maturation characteristics and skeletal age are some biological indicators that have been used to identify time of growth. Many researchers have agreed that skeletal maturity is closely related to the craniofacial growth, and bones of hand and wrist are reliable parameters in assessing it. The complete ha...

AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the maturity levels of the individual by comparing the correlation between dental, skeletal and the chronological ages. MATERIALS AND METHODS Intraoral periapical radiographs of the complete right side of the dentition and posteroanterior radiographs of the hand and wrist were obtained from 260 subjects, ranged from 3 to 15 years of age. Evaluation of...

The aim of this study was to identify whether there was any difference in patient, tumour, treatment or outcome characteristics between patients with skeletal or extra-skeletal Ewing's sarcoma. We identified 300 patients with new primary Ewing's sarcoma diagnosed between 1980 and 2005 from the centres' local database. There were 253 (84%) with skeletal and 47 (16%) with extra-skeletal Ewing's s...

Objective: To determine the distribution of different skeletal pattern in orthodontic patients visiting a tertiary center in midwestern Nepal. Materials & Method: A sample of 200 lateral cephalograms of Nepali patients visiting UCMS-College of Dental Surgery, Bhairahawa was obtained. The jaw base relationship was assessed from lateral cephalograms using angular measurement (ANB angle). Among th...

Ashcroft, M. T., Serjeant, G. R., and Desai, P. (1972). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 47, 519. Heights, weights, and skeletal age ofJamaican adolescents with sickle cell anaemia. Weights, heights, and skeletal age, assessed from hand radiographs, were recorded in a cross-sectional study of 99 Jamaicans with sickle cell anaemia aged between 12 and 21 years. Compared with controls, weight and...

AIM To evaluate trends in DNA typing success rates of different skeletal elements from mass graves originating from conflicts that occurred in the former Yugoslavia (Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo) during the 1990s, and to establish correlation between skeletal sample age and success of high throughput short tandem repeat (STR) typing in the large data set of the International Commission on ...

hutchinson-gilford progeria syndrome (hgps) is a rare premature ageing disorder that is characterized by accelerated degenerative changes of the cutaneous, musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems. mean age at diagnosis is 2.9 years and generally leading to death at approximately 13 years of age due to myocardial infarction or stroke. orthopedic manifestations of hgps are multiple and shoulde...
