Recent investigations have demonstrated extensive reciprocal interactions between the immune and skeletal systems, resulting in the establishment of osteoimmunology as a cross-disciplinary field. Here we highlight core concepts and recent advances in this emerging area of study.

Camptomelic dwarfism or dysplas1a is a rare syndrome in which· short stature is associated with angulation and bowing of the lower limb Long bones, hypoplasia of the facial bones and scapula and various other skeletal and respiratory and nervous system. A 9 day old girl with this syndrome was admitted in our peiatric Department, Loghman Hospital medical center because of Dwarfism and hypotonia....

Many orthodontic treatment modalities will yield a better result in less time if properly correlated with the unique facial growth patterns of the patients. The pubertal growth spurt depends on gender and varies in relationship to the chronologic age. General skeletal maturity usually is used as an indicator to predict timing of mandibular growth velocity peak. Hand-wrist radiographic evaluatio...

This paper presents a mechanical system with a similar configuration to a human musculo-skeletal system for use in anthropomorphic robots or as artificial limbs for disabled persons. First, a mechanical module called ANLES (Actuator with Non-Linear Elasticity System) is introduced. There are two types of ANLES: the linear-type ANLES and rotary-type ANLES. They can be used as a voluntary muscle ...
