The wrist and hand region has been the most commonly used for estimating age and osseous development due to the great number of ossification centers. The aim was to determine which method, Tanner & Whitehouse's (TW3), Greulich & Pyle's (GP) or Eklof & Ringertz's, more closely relates to the chronological age in subjects with Down syndrome with chronological ages between 61 and 180 months, using wrist and hand radiographs. The sample consisted of 85 radiographs, 52 of males and 33 of females. Eklof & Ringertz's method was computerized (Radiomemory). Greulich & Pyle's atlas was used and compared with the wrist and hand radiographs. For the TW3 method, 13 ossification centers were evaluated; for each one of them, there are seven or eight development stages to which scores are assigned; these scores are then added and the results are transformed into osseous age values. No statistically significant differences were observed between the male and female genders for methods TW3 and GP, contrasting with the observed differences for the Eklof & Ringertz method. Correlation (r2) between osseous and chronological ages was 0.8262 for TW3 and 0.7965 for GP, while for the method of Eklof & Ringertz, it was 0.7656 for females and 0.8353 for males. The author concluded that the osseous age assessment method that better related to the chronological age was the TW3, followed by Greulich & Pyle's and Eklof & Ringertz's.

In order to evaluate the hind limbs of caviomorph rodents a descriptive analysis of the Cuniculus paca (Linnaeus, 1766) and Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris (Linnaeus, 1766) was performed using anatomical specimens, radiography, computed tomography (CT) and full-coloured prototype models to generate bone anatomy data. The appendicular skeleton of the two largest rodents of Neotropical America was compared with the previously reported anatomical features of Rattus norvegicus (Berkenhout, 1769) and domestic Cavia porcellus (Linnaeus, 1758). The structures were analyzed macroscopically and particular findings of each species reported. Features including the presence of articular fibular projection and lunulae were observed in the stifle joint of all rodents. Imaging aided in anatomical description and, specifically in the identification of bone structures in Cuniculus paca and Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris. The imaging findings were correlated with the anatomical structures observed. The data may be used in future studies comparing these animals to other rodents and mammalian species. © 2012 Blackwell Verlag GmbH.

The emergence of soft-bodied metazoans and the radiation of the earliest skeletal organisms substantially changed the ecological dynamics of Ediacaran environments, leading to the genesis of biogenic hard-part deposits for the fi rst time in Earth's history. The impact of bioclast origin on sedimentary processes is analyzed herein, focusing on the sedimentology and taphonomy of shell concentrations dominated by the Ediacaran index fossil Cloudina from the Itapucumí Group, Paraguay. Skeletal concentrations include both dense accumulations of parautochthonous, disarticulated specimens (Type 1 deposits) and in situ specimens preserved as loosely packed assemblages (Type 2 deposits). At that time, Cloudina was the critical source of durable biomineralized hard parts in an environment nearly free of other bioclasts. The simple fabric and geometry of these accumulations are typical of Cambrian-style shell beds. Despite their Precambrian age, these deposits indicate that the establishment of the Phanerozoic style of marine substrates and preservation in early shell beds was determined more by the acquisition of hard parts than by environmental changes. © 2013 Geological Society of America.

Osteochondroma is one of the most common benign tumors of the skeleton. This tumor is rare in the craniofacial region, with the most common sites of occurrence being the coronoid process of the mandible and the mandibular condyle. Traditionally, the treatments of these lesions include total condylectomy or local resection of the lesion. Conservative condylectomy procedure with reshaping of the remaining condylar neck and repositioning of the articular disk has been suggested. This article aimed to describe a 35-year-old woman with osteochondroma in the left mandibular condyle who was treated by conservative condylectomy. The patient has been free of recurrence for 2 years, showing good aesthetic and functional stability. Copyright © 2013 by Mutaz B. Habal, MD.

The orbit is an irregular conical cavity formed from 7 bones including the frontal, sphenoid, zygomatic, maxillary, ethmoid, lacrimal, and palatine bones. Fractures of the internal orbit can cause a number of problems, including diplopia, ocular muscle entrapment, and enophthalmos. Although muscle entrapment is relatively rare, diplopia and enophthalmos are relatively common sequelae of internal orbital fractures. Medial orbital wall fracture is relatively uncommon and represents a challenge for its anatomical reconstruction. In this context, autogenous bone graft has been the criterion standard to provide framework for facial skeleton and orbital walls. Therefore, it is possible to harvest grafts of varying size and contour, and the operation is performed through the bicoronal incision, which is the usual approach to major orbital reconstruction. Thus, this article aimed to describe a patient with a pure medial orbital wall fracture, and it was causing diplopia and enophthalmos. The orbital fracture was treated using autogenous bone graft from calvarial bone. The authors show a follow-up of 12 months, with facial symmetry and without diplopia and enophthalmos. In addition, a computed tomography scan shows excellent bone healing at the anterior and posterior parts of the medial orbital wall reconstruction. Copyright © 2013 by Mutaz B. Habal, MD.

Esta tese apresenta duas contribuições para a interpretação geofísica, voltadas ao Método Magnetotelúrico. A primeira trata de uma nova abordagem para a interpretação MT, denominada MÉTODO DESCRITIVO-GEOLÓGICO (DesG), em alusão à incorporação explícita de informação a priori de correlação fácil com a descrição geológica tradicional. O intérprete define por meio de elementos geométricos (pontos e linhas) o arcabouço de feições geológicas bem como fornece valores de resistividade aos corpos geológicos presumidos. O método estima a distribuição de resistividade subsuperficial em termos de fontes anômalas próximas aos elementos geométricos, ajustando as respostas produzidas por estes corpos às medidas de campo. A solução obtida fornece então informações que podem auxiliar na modificação de algumas informações a priori imprecisas, permitindo que sucessivas inversões sejam realizadas até que a solução ajuste os dados e faça sentido geológico. Entre as características relevantes do método destacam-se: (i) os corpos podem apresentar resistividade maior ou menor do que a resistividade do meio encaixante, (ii) vários meios encaixantes contendo ou não corpos anômalos podem ser cortados pelo perfil e (iii) o contraste de resistividade entre corpo e encaixante pode ser abrupto ou gradativo. A aplicação do método a dados sintéticos evidencia, entre outras vantagens, a sua potencialidade para estimar o mergulho de falhas com inclinação variável, que merece especial interesse em Tectônica, e delinear soleiras de diabásio em bacias sedimentares, um sério problema para a prospecção de petróleo. O método permite ainda a interpretação conjunta das causas do efeito estático e das fontes de interesse. A aplicação a dados reais é ilustrada tomando-se como exemplo dados do COPROD2, cuja inversão produziu soluções compatíveis com o conhecimento geológico sobre a área. A segunda contribuição refere-se a desenho de experimento geofísico. Por meio de indicadores diversos, em especial a matriz densidade de informação, é mostrado que a resolução teórica dos dados pode ser estudada, que guia o planejamento da prospecção. A otimização do levantamento permite determinar os períodos e as posições das estações de medida mais adequados ao delineamento mais preciso de corpos cujas localizações são conhecidas aproximadamente.
