A Pilot Study of the Relation of Selected Nutritional Factors to Skeletal Age of Galactosemic Children
… protein, calcium and vitamin D, and the skeletal age of each child. The selected nutrients were compared with the Recommended Daily allowances as revised in 1963. The skeletal ages were determined by the standards as established by Greulich and Pyle (36).</p> <p>The medical records of …

Testing of a Portuguese Method for Estimating Skeletal Age at Death in Adults Using the Acetabulum on an American Sample
… of this thesis is to test the accuracy of age estimation using the acetabulum. Methods for determining information from the os coxae are essential tools in archaeology and forensic anthropology. Variables from the ilium, ischium, and pubis have been used to determine sex and estimate age. …

Assessing the applicability of the Greulich and Pyle (1959) skeletal age estimation method to South African children between 0 and 13 years
The assessment of skeletal age (SA) in both clinical and forensic settings serves to estimate the degree of development and biological maturation of a child. This is a suitable and frequently used technique, as skeletal age is a valuable indicator which can be analysed from birth until the …

The effects of alcohol and drug abuse on the sternal end of the fourth rib
Estimation of skeletal age at death is based on the premise that osseous tissue undergoes predictable and patterned changes through the life of the individual that can be quantified and accurately correlated with skeletal age. The utility of any method of estimating skeletal age at death is …

Histological age estimation of the midshaft clavicle using a new digital technique.
Histological methods to estimate skeletal age at death, in forensic cases, are an alternative to the more traditional gross morphological methods. Most histological methods utilize counts of bone type within a given field for their estimation. The method presented in this paper uses the percentage …

Age estimation in the living: a test of 6 radiographic methods
… that there is a requirement for methods of age estimation of the living to be rigorously tested to ensure that they are accurate, reliable and valid for use in forensic and humanitarian age estimation. The necessity for accurate and reliable methods of age estimation are driven both by …

Adult age-at-death estimation using the pulp/tooth area ratio (PAR) method: a South African validation study using periapical radiography and stereomicroscopy
Conventional skeletal age-at-death estimation methods employed for South African adults are deficient, facing several limitations. Dental ageing techniques remain under-researched for the population. In this study, I aimed to evaluate the applicability of the pulp/tooth area ratio (PAR) ageing …

Timing of alveolar cleft bone grafting in maxillary alveolar cleft defects
… cleft bone grafting, including chronological age, skeletal age, and dental age. However, few studies have employed objective methods of assessment that would permit statistical analysis. Fifty-nine patients with clefts of the alveolus who acquired secondary alveolar cleft grafts at the …

A roentographic cephalometric analysis of the cerebral palsied patient
… Twenty-six cerebral palsied patients between the ages of seven and 18 were examined. A history was taken and a data sheet was completed to record molar and cuspid relationships. The function of. the tongue and lips during swallow was also recorded. Cephalometric and hand and wrist radiographs were …

Power and Pressure: Frailty as a Measure of Cumulative Stress Among Ancient Maya Royals from Belize
… is an accumulation of this stress and leaves skeletal biomarkers which provides evidence of ongoing stress and survived stress event at time of death. The thought that elite status in ancient Maya buffers individuals from physiological stress due to better access to resources has been …

Evaluation of individual indicators for orthodontic treatment of children with mixed and permanent dentition // Оценка на индивидуални показатели за ортодонтско лечение на деца в смесено и постоянно съзъбие
… Four tasks were formulated, and 320 children aged 7–17 were examined. Evaluation of dental and skeletal age by methods applicable to routine diagnostic means in orthodontics has been performed. Digital radiographs total of 640 were analysed. The mean chronological age of the occurrence of the …

AN ASSESSMENT OF SUBADULT SKELETAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT BASED ON A MICHIGAN MEDICAL EXAMINER SAMPLE
… them to expected values, based on their sex and age as published by the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control, it can provide insight into their lives. When subadults are unidentified and go through the MEO, methods based on dental development or long bone measurements can …

An Examination of Error in the Application of Pubic Aging Techniques
This study examined six methods of skeletal age-at-death estimation from the pubic symphysis in order to determine the significance of sex as a contributing source of error to the inaccuracy of each method. These six methods included Todd (1920), McKern-Stewart (1957), Gilbert-McKern (1973), …

Study of Pelvic Growth and Development Through Examination of Interlandmark Distances and Geometric Morphometric Analyses: Implications for Subadult Skeletal Sex and Age Estimation
… relied upon by forensic anthropologists for age and sex estimations of unidentified skeletal remains. However, because subadult individuals are an underrepresented demographic in skeletal collections there is a lack of ontogenetic knowledge of the sub-elements (ilium, ischium, and pubis) and …

Standards for epiphyseal union in South African children between the ages of 6 to 24 years using low dose X-ray (lodox)
Skeletal age is a measure of biological maturation and is based on the stages of formation of bones. As age increases, skeletal maturation progresses and the various hard tissue changes which take place are uniquely identifiable and defining to each stage of development. Age assessment using …
