The study of facial growth is explored in many fields science, including anatomy, genetics, and forensics. In the field forensics, it acts as a valuable tool for combating child pornography. present research proposes new method, based on relative measurements fixed references human face—specifically considering diameter iris (iris ratio)—for analysis association with age children sub-adults. experimental sample consisted digital photographs 1000 Brazilian subjects, aged between 6 22 years,...
ABSTRACT Introduction Contemporary dietary and nutritional transitions are commonplace, but difficult to study directly. In Brazil, Latin America, this generalized process, leading current obesity malnutrition problems, started more than four decades ago. Although body weight food availability used measure changes, not much information on consumption nutrition exist. Stable isotope analysis allows for the of modern individual diets because it reflects proportional contribution different...
OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the possible interactions between three addition silicone materials (Express®, Aquasil Ultra® and Adsil®), hemostatic agents (ferric sulfate, StatGel FS®; aluminum GelCord®; chloride, Hemostop®) gingival retraction cords previously handled with latex gloves to determine whether direct contact medicaments or indirect contamination by in conditions similar those found clinical practice inhibit affect setting of impression materials. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A...
Abstract Positioning landmarks in facial photo‐anthropometry ( FPA ) applications remains today a highly variable procedure, as traditional cephalometric definitions are used guidelines. Herein, novel landmark‐positioning approach, specifically adapted for applications, is introduced and, particular, assessed against the conventional analysis of 16 on ten frontal images by two groups examiners (with and without professional knowledge anatomy). Results showed that positioning reproducibility...
Abstract The aim of the present study is to describe simplified facial pattern young Brazilian men and women using index (FI), upper face (UFI), nasal (NI) in indirect anthropometric measurements applied frontal photographic images. images were obtained from 660 adult white 689 aged 30 years ± 6 months, classified according regions birth, as follows: south (S), southeast (SE), midwest (MW), northeast (NE), north (N). nasion, zygion, gnathion, stomion, subnasale, alare landmarks labeled on...
A identificacao humana e uma das principais atividades desenvolvidas pela Odontologia Legal. Os desastres em massa sao os acidentes, naturais ou produzidos diretamente acao influencia humana, que geralmente resultam um elevado numero de vitimas fatais. corpos, muitas vezes, encontram-se carbonizados, fragmentados, destruidos processo decomposicao avancada, o dificulta a vitimas. metodos odontologicos comumente usados nesses casos, pois dentes possuem alta resistencia e, unica fonte determina...
This retrospective ecological study investigated malaria incidence among Brazilian Yanomami children and adolescents from 2003 to 2022. Of the 145,573 recorded cases, 75.9% occurred in pediatric population. Moreover, an increase proportion of cases 10-19 age group has been observed, potentially associated with recruitment Indigenous mining areas recent years.
Exhumation may be defined as the legally sanctioned excavation and recovery of remains lawfully buried or – occasionally cremated individuals, distinct from forensic excavations clandestinely conducted part a criminal investigation unlawful disinterment human remains, commonly referred to bodysnatching. The aim this article is review role exhumation so in activities CEMEL, Medico-Legal Centre Ribeirão Preto Medical School-University São Paulo, international, regional local collaborations....
Abstract An indirect anthropometric study was conducted to find out whether neoclassical facial canons could be applied the population of Brazilian white young adults. The based on standardized photographs 689 women and 666 men aged 30 years ± 6 months. findings were compared those observed for North American Caucasian population. frequency 5 assessed: thirds; interorbital width; nose eye widths; mouth face widths. assessed showed following ratios: tr-n > n-sn (96.01%), < sn-gn...
Dental anthropological data may provide valuable information about an individual's life, including age at death, health, signs of violence, ancestry, diet features, intentional modifications, and geographic origin. These pieces be further detailed by residential mobility estimates provided isotopic analyses. The use isotope in the modern population is strongly dependent on diverse origin food supply, thus requiring updated location-specific database. In this study, we have analyzed ratio...
The Legal Amazon region serves as a hotspot for imported malaria from other South American countries, with over 75% of cases concentrated in municipalities that cover extensive Indigenous territories. These areas have witnessed substantial escalations deforestation and illegal mining activities the years.
This study aimed to test the discriminant power of photoanthropometric analysis human face for distinguishing females and males aged below or above 14 18. The sample consisted 1354 photographs taken in frontal view Brazilian between 10 22 years. Using SAFF-2D® software (Department Federal Police, Brasília, Brazil), fourteen examiners positioned 35 landmarks each photographs. landmark positioning led quantification 110 indices 51 iridian ratios. These variables were tested into logistic...
