Towards a better interpretation of bone morphology: The effect of obesity on bone
The effects of obesity on bone are poorly understood in biological anthropology. By using an experimental approach, we hope to achieve several aims and objectives designed to further our understanding of how obesity affects bone health. The aims also look at trying to understand the implications of …

Geometric morphometrics for 3D dense surface correspondence: population comparisons of shoulder bone morphology
… were applied to South African and Swiss shoulder bones (scapula and humerus) to analyse morphological differences. Methods: The developed pipeline required first establishing correspondence across the datasets through a registration process. Gaussian process fitting was chosen to perform the …

A study on the relationship between gingival biotype and the underlying crestal bone morphology
… 집단에서 CP-BC(mesial contact point에서 alveolar bone crest사이의 거리)와 MID-BC(치아 mid-face 위치에서의 contact point의 연장선과 alveolar crest 사이의 거리)의 차이(SCD, scalloped distance)를 계산하여 하방 치조골의 형태를 비교하였다. Thin biotype 집단과 thick biotype 집단과의 차이가 통계적으로 유의한 것으로 나타났다(t=2.982, p<.01). Thin biotype은 M=3.00±0.21(mm), …

Thermoneutral Housing Did Not Impact the Combined Effects of External Loading and Raloxifene on Bone Morphology and Mechanical Properties in Growing Female Mice
… and increasing the bound water content in the bone matrix in a cell-independent manner. In this thesis, active tissue formation was induced by non-invasive external tibial loading in female mice and combined with raloxifene treatment to assess their combined effect on bone morphology and …

Mapping the relationship between morphology and function of the shoulder: implications for human evolution and musculoskeletal injury
Across ape species, a large variation in shoulder bone morphology (shape) corresponds to broad differences in upper limb behaviour. Over millions of years, humans have evolved unique shoulders that allow us to execute tasks with speed, dexterity, and power. Today, the human shoulder is highly …

The effect of Zoledronate treatment timing on lumbar and caudal vertebrae in ovariectomized rats
… alternatives with respect to their effects on bone microstructure and strength. This paper, then, investigates the effects of treatment timing using Zoledronate [ZOL], a potent bisphosphonate, on the lumbar and caudal vertebrae in ovariectomized [OVX], female Wistar rats. Methods: Twenty nine …

Functional adaptation of mandibular trabecular bone and its association with diet: Inter- and intra-specific comparisons among Homo sapiens, papionins, and mice.
Mandibular cortical bone morphology varies considerably across mammals and has been attributed to changes in feeding behaviour related to diet, subsistence and food mechanical properties (FMPs), including the shift from hunter-gathering to agriculture within humans during the Neolithic. Trabecular …

Changes in Osteoarthritis of the Elbow and Shoulder Joints in Women when Trasitioning from Hunting and Gathering to an Agricultural Subsistence
Changes in bone morphology have always been a concern of physical anthropologists who are trying to explain a culture's everyday activity. These types of changes, including arthritic and musculoskeletal, are based on subjective observation of the researcher and therefore subject to observer error. …

Statistical Modeling of Knee Morphology and Material Properties Considering Diverse Populations
… revealed literature-supported differences in bone size between the sexes and changes in bone material quality with age. While significant differences in bone morphology and bone quality among racial and ethnic groups were observed, further validation with a more balanced and robust training …

Bone Properties of Recombinant Inbred Line - BXD Mouse
<p>Osteoporosis is identified by reduced bone mass, decreased bone quality and altered bone micro-architecture. These traits are quantitative and also highly regulated by genetic and environmental factors. As a powerful tool for collaborative analysis of quantitative traits and gene function, BXD …

Investigation of ultrastructural and mechanical properties of rat cortical bone using micro-CT, three-point bending testing, and the reference point indentation technique
Characterization of bone is important as it aids in the understanding of bone pathologies and their corresponding treatments. Assessment of cortical bone morphology has been identified as an important aspect of overall bone quality as it contributes significantly to the mechanical strength of bone. …

CBCT Evaluation for Risk Analysis in Implant Placement: A Retrospective and Validation Study
… of the peri-implant soft tissues and progressive bone loss around dental implants. This condition is particularly concerning in anterior regions of the oral cavity, where the loss of soft tissue integrity can result in significant aesthetic, biological, and functional complications. Facial growth, …
