Quantitative analysis of the morphological changes of the pubic symphyseal face and the auricular surface and implications for age at death estimation [PDF]

, 2015
YesAge estimation methods are often based on the age-related morphological changes of the auricular surface and the pubic bone. In this study, a mathematical approach to quantify these changes has been tested analyzing the curvature variation on 3D ...

Comparative cranial biomechanics reveal macroevolutionary trends in theropod dinosaurs, with emphasis on Tyrannosauroidea

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Tyrannosaurus is viewed as a model organism in vertebrate paleontology, with numerous studies analyzing its feeding biomechanics. Nonetheless, the evolution of this feeding performance has been under‐addressed in Tyrannosauroidea, especially in basal tyrannosauroids. Here we used muscle‐force reconstruction and finite element analysis (FEA) to

Survival to amputation in pre-antibiotic era: a case study from a Longobard necropolis (6th-8th centuries AD) [PDF]

, 2018
The Longobard necropolis of Povegliano Veronese dates from the 6th to the 8th centuries AD. Among the 164 tombs excavated, the skeleton of an older male shows a well-healed amputated right forearm.

Over the edge: Empirical evidence for the cliff‐edge model of obstetric selection

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The cliff‐edge model of obstetric selection maintains that larger neonates and smaller birth canals confer a positive selective advantage until labor becomes obstructed and vaginal delivery is no longer possible, eliciting an abrupt reduction in fitness.

Evaluation of the pelvic apophysis with multi-detector computed tomography for legal age estimation in living individuals

Journal of Research in Medical Sciences, 2015
Background: Legal age estimations of living individuals are gaining increasing importance for radiologists involved in delivering expert opinions. The present study aimed to assess the correlation between chronological age and apophyseal centers distance

Treatment of a sacral fracture associated with an intrasacral meningocele: A case report

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery, 2019
We report a case of sacral fracture complicated by an intrasacral meningocele in a 37-year-old male. The patient had a left sacral fracture with bilateral fractures of the superior and inferior pubic rami.

A second species of non‐crocodyliform crocodylomorph from the Late Triassic fissure deposits of southwestern UK: Implications for locomotory ecological diversity in Saltoposuchidae

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Late Triassic–Early Jurassic fissures of the Bristol Channel area (southwest England and south Wales) are renowned for their diverse vertebrate faunas. These assemblages have yielded an array of predominantly small‐bodied forms that are crucial to our understanding of the early evolution of several major tetrapod clades.

The Complex Challenge of Urosymphyseal Fistula and Pubic Osteomyelitis in Prostate Cancer Survivors

European Urology Open Science
Background and objective: Urosymphyseal fistula (UF) and pubic osteomyelitis (PO) are rare and often poorly recognized long-term complications of treatment for localized prostate cancer. Our aim was to describe UF/PO in prostate cancer survivors. Methods:

Pubic osteomyelitis after surgery for perforated colonic diverticulitis with fecal peritonitis: A case report [PDF]

, 2017
IntroductionPubic osteomyelitis is a rare type of suppurative osteomyelitis. Early diagnosis of pubic osteomyelitis is difficult, and prolonged inflammation results in progressive bone degradation, severe pelvic pain and a wide-based gait.Presentation of
