Congruence of individual cranial bone morphology and neutral molecular affinity patterns in modern humans.

29 Sep 2009 Recent studies have demonstrated that the shape of the human temporal bone is particularly strongly correlated with neutral genetic expectation, when compared against other cranial regions, such as the vault, face, and basicranium. In turn, this has ... Read more...

Middle ear cancer: a population-based study.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: Primary carcinoma of the middle ear is a rare clinical entity, best suited for evaluation using a population-based database. The objective of this study was to utilize the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) ... Read more...

Pus and free bone flaps.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECT: The goal of this investigation is to describe the results of a vigorous attempt to preserve contaminated free bone flaps and avoid the problems associated with the traditional and common practice of discarding the flap, administering a ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Temporal Bone'

Definition: Either of a pair of compound bones forming the lateral (left and right) surfaces and base of the skull which contains the organs of hearing. It is a large bone formed by the fusion of parts: the squamous (the flattened anterior-superior part), the tympanic (the curved anterior-inferior part), the mastoid (the irregular posterior portion), and the petrous (the part at the base of the skull).
