Improving Children’s Bike Helmets
Every day, millions of children take to the athletic fields and streets for purposes of competition, transportation, or simple enjoyment. It is likely that by day's end some of them will suffer severe injuries and a few may die. Many of these injuries will involve the head or neck, an area of the body where injuries are most likely to be serious. According to the National Head Injury Foundation, traumatic brain injury is the leading cause of disa…
Interobserver error in a large scale anthropometric survey
The adverse effects of interobserver error on morphometric population comparisons are well documented in the literature. While interobserver error can rarely be avoided, it can be minimized by having a single individual locate and mark relevant landmarks, by limiting the number of observers for each variable, and by reviewing repeated measures data daily to catch and correct measurer drift during data collection. In this study, two pairs of exper…
Congenital Anomalies of the Lower Spine in two Arikara Skeletal Series
Two skeletal anomalies are examined from two protoArikara skeletal series, those from the Sully (39SL4) and Larson (39WW2) sites of South Dakota. There are differences between Larson and Sully in the incidence of both anomalies. Larson has the greater incidence of spina bifida occulta, but cases appear in older individuals. Larson also has a higher frequency of separate neural arches. Separate neural arches appear to be associated with osteoarthr…
Mortality of pregnant females in Arikara villages
High infant mortality and high mortality for late adolescent and young adult females suggest that obstetrical hazards may be one explanation for differences in male and female mortality curves. This possiblity is investigated in Arikara skeletal series by determining the frequency of females who died with fetal remains in utero. Two females (0.9%) were so identified. Examination of the females and the fetal remains do not provide evidence that st…
