Mapping genetic variants for cranial vault shape in humans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The shape of the cranial vault, a region comprising interlocking flat bones surrounding the cerebral cortex, varies considerably in humans. Strongly influenced by brain size and shape, cranial vault morphology has both clinical and evolutionary relevance.

Realistic 3D infant head surfaces augmentation to improve AI-based diagnosis of cranial deformities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Shape analysis of infant’s heads is crucial to diagnose cranial deformities and evaluate head growth. Currently available 3D imaging systems can be used to create 3D head models, promoting the clinical practice for head evaluation.

Meticulous and Early Understanding of Congenital Cranial Defects Can Save Lives

open access: yesChildren, 2023
Background: Omitting the early closure of the cranial sutures in newly born children is not an uncommon practice. We describe the natural history of several unrelated children and adults from two unrelated families. These children were born with variable

A metric study of three types of artificial cranial modification from north-central Peru

open access: yes, 2010
Artificial cranial modification (ACM) involves the alteration of cranial vault shape by cultural means, and is performed during infancy while the cranial bones remain soft and malleable.

Analysis of cranial type characteristics in term infants: a multi-center study

open access: yesBMC Pediatrics, 2021
Background Positional head deformity (PHD) is defined as a change in the shape of an infant’s skull due to an external force. In certain cases, it can lead to cosmetic deformities or even neurological issues due to its impact on the developing nervous ...

Three-dimensional analysis of cranial and facial asymmetry after helmet therapy for positional plagiocephaly

open access: yes, 2015
PURPOSE: Helmet therapy is a non-surgical option for treating positional plagiocephaly, and its effectiveness has been validated by various researches. In addition to cranial flattening and asymmetry, ipsilateral prominence of the mid-face and relative ...

The mechanism of labor in nonhuman primates: A look inside

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract While in humans, the flexed position of the fetus and its rotating course down the birth canal are well documented, in other primates the mechanism of labor is unknown. Despite the lack of comparative data, it is commonly assumed that the human obstetric mechanism is unique, and anthropologists have disputed when and why the transition to the ...
