Three-Dimensional Computed Tomography Analysis of Airway Volume Changes Between Open and Closed Jaw Positions [PDF]
Introduction Airway dimensions are closely linked to the bone and soft-tissue craniofacial anatomy. Reduction of the airway is seen with airway disorders and can impair function.

Odontoid anterior screw fixation [PDF]
Introduction The surgical stabilization of an odontoid fracture may be done either using an anterior odontoid screw fixation or a posterior C1–C2 fusion. Anterior odontoid screw fixation has the advantages of preserving atlanto-axial motion and is minimally invasive in terms of the exposure and muscle damage.

Abstract The Late Cretaceous witnessed numerous transgression–regression sequences and the onset of a global cooling phase at the start of the Campanian. In the European archipelago, these environmental changes, combined with active plate tectonics, facilitated the formation of ephemeral land bridges that served as dispersal routes for a variety of ...

Surgical treatment of upper, middle and lower cervical injuries and non-unions by anterior procedures [PDF]
The goals of any treatment of cervical spine injuries are: return to maximum functional ability, minimum of residual pain, decrease of any neurological deficit, minimum of residual deformity and prevention of further disability.

Development of Dysphagia and Trismus Developed after C1-2 Posterior Fusion in Extended Position [PDF]
Cervical misalignment after upper cervical fusion including the occipital bone may cause trismus or dysphagia, because the occipito-atlanto joint is associated with most of the flex and extended motion of the cervical spine.

Indoor cats scavenging behind closed doors
Abstract We report a rare case of postmortem scavenging by cats in Japan involving the skeletonized remains of a woman in her 80s discovered in a locked, garbage‐filled room. The body was missing many bones, including vertebrae other than the atlas with odontoid process.

Superior cervical vertebrae of a Miocene hominoid and a Plio-Pleistocene hominid from southern Africa [PDF]
The Miocene hominoid and Plio-Pleistocene hominid vertebral record is poor. In 1994, a complete atlas of a hominoid was found in breccia at Berg Aukas in Namibia. Its age was estimated to be middle Miocene (13 myr) on the basis of microfauna.

Introduction: The axis, which is the second cervical vertebra, serves as a pivot, allowing the atlas to rotate and support the head. Despite its small size, this area can lead to significant complications because of the intricate anatomy of the cranio-
