Bone reinforcement lines and osteoporosis
Bone reinforcement lines are rarely examined traits visible on X-rays that correlate with chronic osteopenia and osteoporosis. In this study, through the use of humeral X-rays taken from 109 prehistoric Californian Native American remains, the relationships between bone reinforcement lines and average cortical bone thickness, sex, and age are examined. Results revealed that individuals with bone reinforcement lines were likely to have lower avera…
Case study of a rare occipital osteoma related to cranial trauma
century coastal foraging society in California. His remains display a large ectocranial elevation on the occipital, measuring 23.3 mm anteroposteriorly, 25.3 mm mediolaterally, and is elevated to 20.1 mm. It is located along the superior nuchal line on the left side of the occipital and represents an extremely rare occipital localization of a particular type of trauma-related osteoma. In our prior study of Burial 280, trauma etiology was not cons…
Can we create ethnically diverse skeletal collection from donated bodies
Understanding bone health is least invasively and most effectively done through studying skeletal remains that reflect the living populations who will benefit from the knowledge produced through research. Donated body collections that accurately represent modern populations are needed for osteological insights to be applied to clinical practices. However, even though the US is growing increasingly diverse, donated body collections still suffer fr…
Is vertebral body osteophytosis a reliable indicator of occupational stress
Whether activity patterns cause vertebral body osteophytosis (VO) remains unanswered. Although, many previous researchers indicate physical activity as an etiological factor of VO, a number of recent studies have questioned this conclusion. Thus, using a sample of 101 adult males from medieval Poland, this current study examines whether individuals with VO have greater entheseal change (EC) scores since EC are commonly used as an indicator of act…
