New perspectives on the relationship between mandibular and statural growth

Abstract

Condylar and somatic growth have similar growth curves. The aim of this study was to compare both growth curves in untreated subjects at different ages and investigate if a correlation factor (CF) could be established. Semi-longitudinal records (cephalograms and body height) of 418 untreated, healthy children (193 girls and 225 boys) from a craniofacial growth study were analyzed. Incremental changes of three mandibular measurements from articulare and three from condylion were compared to statural growth changes separately. Based on the assumption that mandibular and somatic growth both follow a parallel line, a CF was postulated and checked for validity and reliability. Mandibular growth spurt could be observed in all six different mandibular measurements, but distances from condylion were more informative. Gonial measurements were not as indicative as symphyseal distances. Mandibular growth did not coincide with somatic growth precisely, and condylar peak velocity preceded statural peak velocity in boys and was slightly delayed in girls. CF was close to the value of 0.4, and its validity could be ascertained when using the condylion-gnathion distance for all ages in girls and up to the age of 12 in boys. Reliability, however...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
