Abstract

abstract:The sella turcica has gained importance as a stable bony landmark in cephalometric studies. This study explored the changes that accompany postnatal ontogeny of the sella turcica until full development and verified its contribution in age estimation and sexual assignment among Egyptians. Six selected measurements of the sella turcica of 215 Egyptian patients were assessed using multidetector computed tomography. The patients represented different ages and were referred to the Diagnostic and Interventional Radiological Department, Faculty of Medicine, Alexandria University. The gathered data were then subjected to statistical analysis, including correlation and regression analysis. The measurements of the sella showed a strong correlation with age. Three selected measurements demonstrated significant sexual dimorphism: sella width and anterior and median height in subjects 20–25 years old. Six regression equations were derived. The accuracy achieved by the combined parameters in the younger group (<25 years old) was higher than that in the older individuals. This study provides useful tools in the determination of age and sex in both forensic and bioarcheological disciplines. However, further studies concerning the shape are strongly suggested.

埃及人图西卡鞍的个体发生:法医和放射学研究

蝶鞍作为稳定的骨标记在头颅测量研究中具有重要意义。本研究探讨了出生后蝶鞍个体发育直到完全发育的变化，并验证了其在埃及人年龄估计和性别分配中的贡献。使用多探测器计算机断层扫描对215名埃及患者的蝶鞍进行了6个选定的测量。患者代表不同年龄，被转介到亚历山大大学医学院诊断和介入放射科。然后对收集到的数据进行统计分析，包括相关分析和回归分析。鞍的测量结果显示与年龄有很强的相关性。在20-25岁的受试者中，三个选定的测量结果显示了显著的性别二态性:鞍宽、前高度和中高度。导出了6个回归方程。综合参数在年轻组(<25岁)的准确性高于在老年个体。这项研究为法医和生物考古学科确定年龄和性别提供了有用的工具。然而，强烈建议进一步研究其形状。

期刊介绍： Human Biology publishes original scientific articles, brief communications, letters to the editor, and review articles on the general topic of biological anthropology. Our main focus is understanding human biological variation and human evolution through a broad range of approaches. We encourage investigators to submit any study on human biological diversity presented from an evolutionary or adaptive perspective. Priority will be given to interdisciplinary studies that seek to better explain the interaction between cultural processes and biological processes in our evolution. Methodological papers are also encouraged. Any computational approach intended to summarize cultural variation is encouraged. Studies that are essentially descriptive or concern only a limited geographic area are acceptable only when they have a wider relevance to understanding human biological variation. Manuscripts may cover any of the following disciplines, once the anthropological focus is apparent: human population genetics, evolutionary and genetic demography, quantitative genetics, evolutionary biology, ancient DNA studies, biological diversity interpreted in terms of adaptation (biometry, physical anthropology), and interdisciplinary research linking biological and cultural diversity (inferred from linguistic variability, ethnological diversity, archaeological evidence, etc.).
