Craniofacial Changes Resulting From Expansion Of The Midpalatal Suture In The Macaca Mulatta Monkey As Revealed By Roentgenographic Analysis, Raymond M. Sugiyama

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of midpalatal suture separation on the craniofacial complex by quantitative roentgenographic analysis.

Ten female Macaca mulatta monkeys were randomly grouped for experimentation. Six animals were paired in groups for two months of treatment, four months of treatment followed by two months of post retention, and six months of treatment. The four remaining monkeys were paired and served as control animals for two and six month periods. Total activation of the expansion appliances in the treated animals was completed over a three week period.

The findings of this study were based …

Masseter Muscle Position Relative To Skeletal Open Bite And Skeletal Closed Bite, Alonzo David Proctor

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Modification of cephalometric roentgenographic procedures provided a means to identify the anterior borders of the right and left masseter muscles and relate them to surrounding dentoskeletal elements. Attachment of short, stiff, wires to the cheeks in a position superficial to the anterior borders of the muscles, subsequent to palpation and prior to exposure of the roentgenographic film, was the procedure used. The bi-lateral images projected on the film were averaged and traced along with dentoskeletal elements including those associated with skeletal type. This line representing the anterior border of the musculature was used to assess muscle position in the vertical …

The Advantages Of A Condyle-Gnathion Reference Line In Roentgenographic Cephalometry, Ernest N. Chan

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Evaluation of the cephalograms of 150 patients showed a wide range in the angulation of the lower border of the mandible to the various facial planes. The degree of this angulation did not always correspond with the severity of malocclusion. Group I represents normal occlusions, Group II comprises malocclusions.

A new reference line is submitted for the investigation of its advantages in cephalometric roentgenography. The mandibular radius drawn through the geometric center of the condyle to the point gnathion is correlated with several indices of facial growth, namely (1) ANB difference, (2) upper facial:lower facial height and (3) PoNB distance …

Roentgenographic Evaluation Of Nasion-Menton And Sella-Gonion Measurements And Their Relationship To The Mandibular Plane Angle, David I. Asatani

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

A convenience sample of 480 Caucasians using original diagnostic cephalometric films was selected to evaluate the nasion-menton and sella-gonion distances and their relationship to the mandibular plane angle.

The anterior facial height was represented by the nasion-menton plane. The posterior facial height was represented by sella-gonion plane. The facial depth was represented by sella-nasion and menton-gonion planes. The mandibular plane angle was represented by the intersection of the sella-nasion and menton-gonion planes.

The descriptive data, correlation analysis, and regression analysis was calculated for the following groups: total sample, females, males, prepubertal and postpubertal ages and various mandibular plane angles of …

Normal Development Of The Aortic Isthmus, Elizabeth Short

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

The development of the aortic isthmus, that region of the arch of the aorta between the left subclavian artery and the attachment of the ligamentum arteriosum, has received little attention. While the developmental history of the ductus arteriosus and foramen ovale has been well documented, as have the cardiac malformations associated with failure to complete this developmental sequence, little work has been done to define the normal sequence of isthmus development in its transition to an adult configuration in the postnatal period. It has long been recognized that the cardiac malformation known as infantile or preductal coarctation of the aorta …

Short article discussing how improving muscular conditions can enhance golf game via increased accuracy in sighting and hitting the ball.

Gaucher's Disease: Case Report With Stress On Eye Findings, Angel O. Carbone, Carlos F. Petrozzi

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This interesting case report comes from an alumnus of Henry Ford Hospital - Dr. Carlos Petrozzi who was a medical resident here from July 1961 to 1964. The findings may be of interest to opththalmologists and others because of the rather specific changes in the bulbar conjunctiva which can be easily seen without special ophthalmic instruments.

Critical Analysis Of The Control Of Malignant Effusions With Radioisotopes, Robert M. O'Bryan, Robert W. Talley, Michael J. Brennan, Emiliana San Diego

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Experience with radioisotope therapy at Henry Ford Hospital is reviewed here through critical analysis of results with 105 patients having recurrent malignant effusions. It is concluded that intracavitary isotope administration is of significant benefit and adds to the ease of care and comfort of such patients

The Nature Of Bone Resorption And Formation In Normalcy And Disease, Bruce N. Epker, Harold M. Frost

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Classically, Howship's lacunae and osteoid seams or tissue have been used for microscopic identification of sites of bone osteoclastic and osteoblastic cell activity respectively. Recent transmitted light and blue light fluorescence microscopic study of fresh, undemineralized, specially stained and tetracycline labeled bone specimens have supported this use of these parameters of bone resorption and formation. Reports that the osteoclast is not required for bone resorption are evaluated here; it is concluded that no evidence exsists for resorption of bone tissue without osteoclasts. This does not apply to the perilacunar phenomena observed in certain well-defined situations.

Correlation Of The Transverse Sizes Of 6th And 11th Ribs In Normal And Osteoporotic Individuals, F. Santoro, H. M. Frost

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

In a continuing study of bone biodynamics, established values for the 6th rib are used to predict the parameters of the 11th rib. Autopsy samples of the 6th and 11th rib are compared and the correlation is used to validate studies of the 11th rib in osteoporosis showing normal cross sectional area with enlarged marrow cavity. The values presented are considered provisional until larger numbers of patients are studied.

The Cerebellopontile Angle, The Blood Supply Of The Brain Stem And The Reticular Formation: Anatomical And Functional Correlations Relevant To Surgery Of Acoustic Tumors, Jose Bebin

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The cerebellopontile angle and the vascular supply of the adjacent brain stem and cerebellum are susceptible to compression and damage by tumor and may be injured, directly or indirectly, during surgery. Awareness of the normal anatomical features of the region is valuable to the neuropathologist, the neurosurgeon and the neuro-otologist. Following is the first of a two-part presentation which describes the anatomy of the cerebellopontile angle, the vascular supply of the brain stem and its pathophysiology.
