Morphometric study of long bones histology
… of qualitative and quantitative analysis of long bone histology has demonstrated its usefulness in forensic human identification, including age-at-death estimation, human and non-human determination and sex determination. The establishment of an individual biological profile from the …

A statistical shape analysis of the neurocranium and long bones
… Procrustes Analyses applied to the individual bones of the neurocranium and the long bones of the limbs. The ability to distinguish groups based on the detected variation was assessed using Discriminant Function Analysis. The results show that, when size is isolated from the data, only a few …

Automated human age at death estimation system from long bones histology
… parameters were analyzed in 44 samples of long bones (humerus, radius, ulna, tibia, fibula and femur). First, the measurements and analyses were carried out using manual methods and then an automated system was developed to eliminate the problems of the manual process. The system assists in …

An experimental investigation, into the effects of thermal alteration on microstructures in mammalian long bones.
… and types of burn. The results demonstrated that bones burnt in controlled circumstances displayed a varied degree of change in osteon diameter from the unburnt transverse sections and the samples burnt at 800oC, along with various other environments of thermal alteration. Other variables, …

Comparison of the long bone microstructure of two southern African marine birds, the Cape gannet (Morus capensis) and the African penguin (Spheniscus demersus) with respect to their aquatic adaptations
… using only its forelimbs. In this study, the long bones of ten penguins and nine gannets were compared in terms of microanatomy and histology with respect to ontogenetic stage (hatchlings, juveniles and adults) and locomotion. Micronatomical and histological findings of the fore-limbs and hind …

Η φυσιολογική ανάπτυξη της θωρακικής και οσφυϊκής μοίρας της σπονδυλικής στήλης
… spine growth in a pattern similar to that of long bones. There appear, therefore, to be pre-adolescent and adolescent growth spurs for both sexes, with those of girls beginning at an earlier stage. This observation supports the theory that the growth plates of vertebral bodies are similar to …

Characterization of the early stages of long bone regeneration in fractures and critical size defects in Xenopus Laevis
… irradiation can cause critical sized defects in long bones. Regeneration capabilities of most mammals in their long bones are robust in small defects such as fractures but diminish in large defects due to lack of proper cellular cues. A small animal in vivo model has been developed to study the …

Insights into the palaeobiology of sauropodomorph dinosaurs through an analysis of their bone histology
… of thin sections were undertaken on primarily long bones of Plateosauravus (SAM-PK-2780 – 3603), Sauropodiforme indet. (NMQR-3314), Melanorosaurus (NMQR-1551) and Lessemsauridae indet., (SAM-PK-K382). Histological descriptions and comparisons were completed within and between taxa. The general …

A Biomechanical Analysis of One-Third Tubular Plates for the Treatment of Benign Lesions in the Distal Femur
… femur. Benign cysts are a common occurrence in long bones, and are of concern in load-bearing bones, such as the tibia and femur. These space-occupying growths are removed by curettage of the affected region. Numerous post-curettage management options have been described in the literature, which …

Development of a magnetic targeting device applied to interlocking of distal intramedullary nail screw holes
… in the United States. Internal fixation of long bones using intramedullary nails (IMN) has decreased incidence of non-union, allowed shorter hospitalization time, and earlier weight bearing for the patient compared to other fixation methods. Orthopedic surgeons have expressed that one of the …

Pleistocene Peccaries from Guy Wilson Cave, Sullivan County, Tennessee.
… nasutus</em> from other Pleistocene-aged sites. Long-bone NISP and age profiles show a predominance of <em>Platygonus</em> adults. Tayassuidae upper canines, likely <em>Platygonus</em>, suggest sexual dimorphism. Long bones were analyzed for carnivore damage and utilization revealing light …

Kalirin : novel role in osteocyte function
… by sequential collagenase digestions from long bones (femurs and tibias) of 10-week old WT and Kal-KO mice. Immunofluorescent staining revealed Kalirin was localized to the perinuclear region of primary osteocytes and MLO-Y4 cells, and was detected along the cytoplasmic processes of primary …

Heads, shoulders, knees and toes: Exploring bodies, body parts and personhood in late Neolithic Malta through funerary taphonomy
… focussed on the selective removal of crania and long bones, and long bones are demonstrated to have been removed from the Xemxija Tombs. Careful analysis shows this was an extended process, in which the memory of the dead was maintained over several generations and social death was prolonged. …

A taphonomic investigation of the agency of microfaunal accumulation at Elands Bay Cave
… thesis used taphonomy to analyse the micromammal bones from Elands Bay Cave in order to question the traditional assumption of the Barn owl as predator arid to ascertain which predator/s had been responsible for the accumulation of the microfaunal assemblages. The methods used to identify the …
