Calculated indices: Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), Waist-to-thigh ratio (WTR). The circumferences of neck, arm, forearm, hip, thigh, and calf in the healthy men were significantly greater than in male patients. The circumferences of neck, arm, forearm waist and calf in the female patients were significantly greater than in the healthy controls. The value of WHR was significantly greater in the patients of both sexes than in healthy people. Reduction of subcutaneous, but not of visceral adipose tissue in the male patients was detected. The amount of both subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue was greater in female patients than in healthy women.","PeriodicalId":341632,"journal":{"name":"Acta morphologica et anthropologica","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116459083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper discusses our findings on the sequelae of raised ICP based on neuropathological examination of 80 forensic cases of closed head injury with a survival until 1,5 month. Our findings indicate that the herniation of the brain is going to occur in the first 10,5 days in 90% of the cases and in nearly half of them this deadly consequence can occur in the first 48 hours, which is of great clinical importance.","PeriodicalId":341632,"journal":{"name":"Acta morphologica et anthropologica","volume":"130 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124443985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tissue slices from the lungs of 1-month-old male SHRs were stained routinely with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) or with the vital dye neutral red. The H&E staining revealed the neuroendocrine cells as visible clusters of clear cells seen in the airway epithelium. Neutral red staining visualized the NEBs as reddish cell clusters protruding in the airway lumen. Our results support the general morphological structure of sensory receptors in SHRs. Their role and significance in the development of essential hypertension remains to be clarified.","PeriodicalId":341632,"journal":{"name":"Acta morphologica et anthropologica","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124737445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The skull length was 238.37±4.18, the frontal width (ectorbitale – ectorbitale), which is the widest part of the skull was 115.75 ± 4.45. The distance between the supraorbitales was determined to be 50.01±3.94. There is a strong negative correlation between L9 (akrokranio – bregma) and L14 (greatest length of the lacrimal (most lateral point of the lacrimal – the most oral point of the lacrimo-maxillary suture) and positive correlation was found among other features. As a result, it is thought that the difference between the craniometric values of the South Karaman sheep, which are accepted as the native breeds of Turkey in the study, and other sheep breeds, depending on the skull morphology, may be due to the breed of the sheep.","PeriodicalId":341632,"journal":{"name":"Acta morphologica et anthropologica","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114117510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In most cases, the metopic suture closes during the first year of age; however, there are rare occurrences of persisting metopic suture in adults. Metopism is caused by incomplete fusion of the two embryological halves of the frontal bone. Usually, skull entry gunshot wounds are round or oval in shape and leave characteristic marks on the bone. Exit gunshot wounds to the skull are larger and more irregular. Herein we present a rare case of a human skull with a gunshot wound causing a traumatic diastasis of a complete, persisting metopic suture found during forensic examination. The gunshot wounds of the skull increase intracranial tension pressure and as a result an opening on the level of the nasion and nasofrontal suture was observed.","PeriodicalId":341632,"journal":{"name":"Acta morphologica et anthropologica","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130813909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The round and protruding types of umbilicus were most common in the studied populations. Similarly, most of the participants had their umbilicus located along the midline. Overall there were no significant differences in the umbilicus of males in comparison to those of females. Proper positioning of the umbilicus is essential in maintaining individual identity.

It raises the risk of sickness in infancy and childhood. Low- and middle-income nations, notably India, have been battling for years to overcome this major issue, which is also connected to many socioeconomic and biological issues. However, understanding the interaction pattern of undernutrition with these determinants is critical for efficient policies and execution. Stunting (low height-for-age) in newborns and children is a well-known and simple indicator of undernutrition. The current study sought to determine the relationship among stunting, socioeconomic, demographic, and birth-related variables. The research was conducted in the Haldia municipality and Deshopran block (West Bengal, India). The participants were 291 (50.5%) urban and 285 (49.5%) rural boys aged 3-12 years. Stunting was defined as height-for-age ‘Z Score’ < -2. Overall, 13.88% boys were stunted. Stunting was significantly associated with low birth weight (LBW), controlling for all other significant variables.","PeriodicalId":341632,"journal":{"name":"Acta morphologica et anthropologica","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132765347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
