Skeletal maturity can be used as a biological indicator of the tempo growth in children and adolescents. We present description skeletal from cohort white Australian describe variation based on child age. Participants (n = 71; age 10.5-13.9 years) were recruited 'Healthy, Active Preschool & Primary Years (HAPPY)' study. Left hand-wrist radiographs to determine using Tanner-Whitehouse III (TW3) ...

Age determination plays a great role in forensic medicine, pediatric endocrinology and is of particular interest in orthodontic and pedodontic treatment planning. The classical and most widely used method for skeletal-age evaluation is the highly reliable hand-wrist bone analysis performed by radiographs. However, this analysis entails exposure to ionizing radiation in addition to the routine r...

Fetal rhabdomyomas (RM) are extremely rare benign mesenchymal tumours that occur primarily in the head and neck.This tumour exhibits immature skeletal muscle differentiation. The patients’ median age is four years and surgical resectionis the recommended treatment.Fetal RM of limbs are rare and not well described in the literature and if, predominantly in form of case reports. We reportthe seco...

Estimations of age from tooth formation standards for a large (n = 282) sample of subadult skeletal remains from a 19th century historic cemetery sample were analyzed. The standards of Moorrees et al. (1963a,b) for the permanent and deciduous teeth, and Anderson et al. (1976) for the formation of permanent dentition were employed in a variety of combinations to calculate mean dental ages. Tests...

OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to assess the skeletal maturity in children with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and to compare it with that of the noncleft children. DESIGN AND SETTING It is an institution based study conducted on randomly selected subjects visiting the hospital for consultation and treatment. PARTICIPANTS A total of 60 children with UCLP (25 boys and 35 gi...

In this article, we report quantitative preliminary data obtained from retrospective analysis of (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) and combined PET-computed tomography (PET/CT) examinations in subjects ages 3 to 84 years pertaining to changes in the metabolism of skin, subcutaneous adipose tissue, visceral adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle with age, as well as ag...

The normal carrying angle in Shiraz population was measured on the basis of sex and age. The right elbow angle of 4266 cases was examined from birth to 30 years old. This study found the carrying angle in 2540 females to be 7.20 (range 2-19) and in 1726 males to be 6.40 (range 2-11), a 0.80 difference. A significant difference (p= 0.05) was found in relation to age. There is a gradual incr...

Abstract Background Forensic age estimation using multiple maturity indicators necessitates investigation of correlation between various techniques. This study intended to compare and evaluate the skeletal Greulich-Pyle atlas, dental by Acharya’s modification Demirjian’s technique London Atlas method Tooth Development, estimated body developmental index with chronological age. Orthopantomograms...
