Test of the relationship between sutural ossicles and cultural cranial deformation: results from Hawikuh, New Mexico.

30 Jul 2009 A number of researchers have hypothesized that the biomechanical forces associated with cultural cranial deformation can influence the formation of sutural ossicles. However, it is still difficult to make definitive conclusions about this ... Read more...

Morphological integration of the skull in craniofacial anomalies.

30 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVES - To understand how surgical interventions impact the organization and internal integration of the major components of the skull, we address the functional and developmental relationships during perinatal development. METHODS - A number ... Read more...

Age-related peridural hyperemia in craniosynostotic rabbits.

3 May 2009 OBJECTIVE: Craniosynostosis is the premature fusion of the calvarial sutures and is associated with aesthetic impairment and secondary damage to brain growth. Associated neurological injuries can result from increased intracranial pressure (ICP) and ... Read more...
