1.1 Introduction: The incidence of zygomatic complex fracture is relatively high. A thorough understanding of the diagnosis and the surgical principles are of critical importance. The zygomatic bone provides the facial appearance, through its cheek prominence. This prominence plays an important role in the protection of the eye.…
Sickness is, through the events of Ward’s Salvage the Bones, a recurring theme: Esch realises that she is pregnant and gets sick because of it; and Daddy loses his fingers, getting sick too. Salvage the Bones is a novel set in the mid 2000’s during the previous days before Hurricane Katrina. During Salvage the Bones, illness creates difficulties both in long term and short term that disrupt the family, but after the family overcomes these illnesses, the family becomes stronger. During the second chapter of the book, we become aware of Esch’s pregnancy, a pregnancy which continues affecting her through the book: she is almost unable to outrun the dog chasing her in chapter 4 and continuously feels nauseous.…
In this scenario a Forensic Anthropology and the Forensic Odontology is required for this case because of the skeletons they saw in the hole. The first thing is for the anthropologist…
In order to become talented in a specific sport it takes practice, patience, and athleticism but over time it is very possible for an ordinary person to achieve this status. However, in order to become the best in the world, that presents a completely different story. Through the eyes of both Tom “Digger” Stapleton and Sadie Jorgensen in Angie Abdou’s novel The Bone Cage, the reader quickly learns the difference between becoming an athlete and becoming an Olympian. Both of these Olympic hopefuls put their lives on hold in order to hopefully achieve this standard of greatness. Neither person has long term goals for the future after the Olympics, they subsist week to week and both have sacrificed the majority of their lives for the opportunity…
Introduction When only a skeleton remains, is there any hope in identification? Due to the continuing advancements in technology, the answer to that question is, yes! Facial reconstruction is not a new avenue of identification, but is continually adapting to be more useful in the forensic community. The documentary, The Mad Trapper tells the story of a Canadian mystery where an unidentified criminal is exhumed in attempts to attain an actual identification using new forensic techniques. This essay will provide an explanation of basis of facial reconstruction, outlining the major categories of reconstruction and the technologies used to aid in the process.…
Bone morphology was widely used to identify American soldiers’ bodies. However, new characters of the Vietnam War caused many servicemen’s bodies difficult to identify with the traditional method. Consequently, some soldiers’ families questioned whether the remains returned to them really belonged to their loved ones. Scandals of misidentification in the mid-1980s made these families pushed the choice of reliable forensic technology to congressional hearings. Their pressure and new progress in genetics in the 1990s persuaded the military to introduce DNA to identify highly decomposed and fragmented soldiers’ bodies.…
It marked the spot in my notebook and gave it a locality number. As I was writing that down, I noticed another piece of bone a few yards away. This was a distal femur—the lower end of a thighbone—also very small. This was a split up the middle so that only one its condyles, or bony bumps that fitted into the shinbone to make a knee joint, was attached.” (Johanson, Edey pg. 155)…
In mammals, longitudinal bone growth occurs at the growth plate by endochondral bone formation. The growth plate consists of three principal zones: resting, proliferative, and hypertrophic. The resting zone lies adjacent to the epiphyseal bone and contains infrequently dividing chondrocytes. The proliferative zone contains replicating chondrocytes arranged in columns parallel to the long axis of the bone. The proliferative chondrocytes located farthest from the resting zone stop replicating and enlarge to become hypertrophic chondrocytes (1).…
Small cracks, cavities, and notches in perfect material can dramatically reduce the tensile strength by producing stress concentration around them [ref]. We believe that in mammalian connective bone tissues, canaliculi, osteocyte lacunae, blood vessels and muscle insertions produce stress concentration to delay the progressive spread of minute cracks. Often times the cracks that are running against lacunae, for examples, stop on entering the lacunae, Hessian canals and blood vessels [ref]. We believe that the activity at the stress concentration can stimulate local reconstruction and remodeling, ultimately leading to the repairs in bone. We hypothesized that the human bone marrow osteoclasts (hBMOCl) can sense the mechanical stimulation.…
In the story “ Midnight for Charile Bone” the main characters are Charile Bone, Uncle Paton, grandma Bone, grandma Jone, Yewbeans aunts, mother flame cats, Inglewdo, Onimous and Benjam, and Red King Fildoe Gunn. The setting is in Charile house, Catherdral close. The main idea of the story is Charile got Red Kings Power and now Charile on a mission.…
The study used a postmortem MSCT exam. They can use this scan to reconstruct any 2- or 3-dimensional views from the data set and also reconstruct 3-dimensional views to show soft tissues and bone. One disadvantage to this exam is that there is no circulation in a dead body, so it cannot be used to answer questions regarding the assessment of vascular flow and detailed vascular morphology, tissue perfusion, bleeding sites, or tissue differentiation. Based on the information in this study about this exam, “it is rapid, objective, noninvasive, and nondestructive”5…
The axial skeleton is all the bones that are along the midline of the skeleton. It is basically every bone that is not considered a limb like the arms and legs. The axial skeleton includes the cranium, mandible, the rib cage, sacrum and the vertebral column. The cranium is made up a lot of small bones; it is considered the top of the skull without the jaw or mandible. It protects the brain and many key organs.…
Bones found in the archeological dig belonged to cattle, oxen, mule, and a bear (Hardesty). The larger bones showed signs of impact (fractures) and looked like they were sawed, indicating marrow extraction for consumption. The smaller pieces of bone were burnt and calcined (oxidized or reduced) due to low oxygen burning (which occurs at the bottom of a fire) (Hardesty). Larger bone fragments were submitted to a radioimmunoassay (a method to determine proteins in bones and then match them to a certain species (Lowenstein)).…
Figure 2.3: The structure of bone (Abedon, 2014) 2.1.2 Mechanical Properties Bones is always considered as man-made engineering materials. Due to its synthesis there have more variation in properties than engineering materials. The factors can include as the location in body, mineral content, disease, age, gender and the amount of water that presence in the human body. The mechanical properties of bone tissues must be considered as very hard and lightweight material. Mechanical behavior of bone can be explained using composite method.…
Bones help animals move, shape and support for an animal’s body. Bones are made up of tissues that continue to grow throughout the animal’s lifetime. But, as an animal gets older the body adds new bone quicker than getting rid of the old. With growth, an animal can run into many issues, one being bone disorders. Bone disorders can affect the growth of a healthy bone, can cause infection, and injure the animal.…
