Patients with maxillofacial fractures have a high risk of accompanying head injury because the close anatomical location facial bones and cranium. Forces striking face are transmitted directly to neurocranium, resulting in more severe brain injury. Objective: To analyze prevalence patients frontal at RSHS Bandung 2020. Methods: Descriptive study medical records trauma Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Ba...

In this issue of the Journal, McGraw et al. ([2006] Am. J. Phys. Anthropol. 000:00-00) present new data on the taphonomic signature of bone assemblages accumulated by crowned hawk eagles (Stephanoaetus coronatus), including characteristic talon damage to the inferior orbits of primates preyed upon by these birds. Reexamination of the Taung juvenile hominin specimen (the type specimen of Austral...

An almost complete cranium of a juvenile individual from the late Early Pleistocene site Buia, in northern Afar (Danakil) Basin Eritrea, reveals different growth pattern extinct species Hippopotamus gorgops Dietrich, 1928 compared to extant amphibius Linnaeus, 1758. The specimen shows important cranial features Hip. (also visible adult specimens), with derived anatomy that is related specializa...

Developmental variations in the cranial vault arise during early ontogenesis due to premature or delayed suture closure, non-union between normal ossification centers, and emergence of additional centers. These cause abnormal calvarial partition are often associated with modifications overall configuration. This study aims evaluate impact metopic persistence development supernumerary bones occi...

Head injuries are very common in children and are the most frequent cause of disability and death among children. This retrospective study included 350 children hospitalized for injury of neurocranium over a 5-year period at Dr Josip Bencević General Hospital in Slavonski Brod. Boys were more commonly injured (63.4%) than girls. The most common injuries were recorded in children aged 7-14 (47.1...

BACKGROUND Severe facial trauma is often associated with intracerebral injuries. So it seemed to be of interest to study stress propagation from face to neurocranium after a fistlike impact on the facial skull in a finite element analysis. METHODS A finite element model of the human skull without mandible consisting of nearly 740,000 tetrahedrons was built. Fistlike impacts on the infraorbita...

This article assumes two stages in the formation of the bones in the calvaria, the first one takes into account the formation of the primary centers of ossification. This step counts on the differentiation from mesenchymal cells into osteoblasts. A molecular mechanism is used based on a system of reaction-diffusion between two antagonistic molecules, which are BMP2 and Noggin. To this effect we...

The taxonomy within the order Cypriniformes is subject to frequent changes, thanks to the results coming from recent molecular phylogenies that help understand the Cypriniformes tree of life previously established through morphological characters. In this paper, we focus on species belonging to the Cyprininae – the largest sub-family among Cypriniformes – and we present both morphological and p...

Biologists have long studied the evolutionary consequences of the differences in reproductive and life history strategies of marsupial and eutherian mammals. Over the past few decades, the impact of these strategies on the development of the marsupial embryo and neonate has received attention. In this review, the differences in development in the craniofacial region in marsupial and eutherian m...
