Although rarely reported in the anthropological literature, rib fractures are commonly found during the analysis of human skeletal remains of past and modern populations. This lack of published data precludes comparison between studies and restricts an accurate understanding either of the mechanisms involved in thoracic injuries or their impact on past societies. The present study aimed: 1) to ...

Using the above data on manufacture of grates and taking into consideration bending vibrations saw cylinders displacement under dynamic load. Taking account primary factors sectional individual ribs also in order to prevent cross-displacement ribs. We modeled introduced a new type for single- chamber two-cylinder gin, which is comprised top bottom, aligned with three brackets tightening laths f...

Age estimation of unknown skeletal remains is very important in forensic medicine. Morphologic methods are fast and easy to use for purpose of age determination. The sternal ends of the ribs are a reliable method of age estimation from late adolescence to old age. Iscan et al developed a phase analysis method for the right 4th rib that was sex and race specific. The purpose of this study is to ...

In this paper, we propose a schema version model which allows to restructure complex object hierarchy in object-oriented databases. This model extends a schema version model, called RiBS, which is based on the concept of Rich Base Schema. In the RiBS model, each schema version is in the form of updatable class hierarchy view over one base schema, called the RiBS layer, which has richer schema i...

The somites are metameric structures. Although these structures appear uniform, other types of muscles differentiate from them along the rostro-caudal body axis. This study investigated whether the somites are committed to producing level specific muscles by heterotopic transplantations between quail and chick embryos. Our results were as follows: 1) Cervical somites, when transplanted into the...

Fig. 2 Conflict interest statement The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest to the publication of this article. There are many types of congenital anomalies and deformities of the ribs, including developmental fusion of two or more ribs, articulation or bridge formation between two ribs, and bifid rib. These morphological anomalies and anatomical variants occur in 0.15%–0.31% ...

BACKGROUND Although stigma in relation to mental health has been defined as including components of knowledge, attitudes and behaviour, no psychometrically tested instrument to assess behavioural discrimination at the population level has been developed. This paper presents details of the development and psychometric properties of the Reported and Intended Behaviour Scale (RIBS), an instrument ...

Magnetic resonance guided high intensity focused ultrasound (MRgHIFU) is a new therapy for treating malignant liver tissues. However, the motion of the ribs in the beam path may compromise an effective and safe treatment. Due to poor visibility of bones in MR and US liver images, tracking them in real time is currently not feasible. We propose a method for modeling and registration of the respi...

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a sporadic benign skeletal disorder that can affect one bone (monostotic form) or multiple bones (polyostotic bone). Around 6-20% of monostotic FD occurs in the ribs. The objective of this study was to report our experience in the management of the monostotic FD of the ribs. Between January 2004 and December 2009, seven cases of FD of the rib (six men and one woman, me...
