Skull fracture

Skull Fracture, Pediatric A skull fracture is a break or crack in one of the bones that make up the skull. Skull fractures range in severity. They are usually more serious if: • They happen with an injury to the brain, spine, nerves, or blood vessels. • The fractured bone has moved out of place. Bones that have moved can push into the brain or nearby bones. • The fractured bone is at the back or bottom (base) of the skull. Most children with a skull fracture make a full recovery. CAUSES

Camarillo in his TED talk about concussions where he explains “ The head moves forward, the brain lags behind, then the brain catches up and smashes into the skull. It rebounds off the skull and then proceeds to run into the other side of the skull ”, it is shown in even greater depth in his video basically presenting that “ It does lag behind the skull and then catch up and move back and forth and oscillate. However, the amount of motion you see in the brain is probably not right at all. There's very

INTRODUCTION At 4 pm, in a certain park, 2 skeletons were found lying side by side behind the bushes. It was concluded that the two were a couple because they were holding hands whilst the skull was facing each other. A femur, pelvic girdles, skulls, tibia, and humerus were taken from each of the skeleton and observations were made to identify their gender, race, age, and height. One is a female, and the other was a male, also the skeletons pretty much remained intact from being undisturbed however

Forensic Osteology of Child Abuse By: Heather Hogue ANTH328-101 11/26/2016 In my paper, I will explain forensic osteology and how it helps determine child abuse. I will also explain different cultures and situations where child abuse cases take place. I will describe where child abuse has taken place even in ancient times. Lastly, I will explain the challenges of forensic osteology in determining child abuse, what could be mistaken for it, and how it’s properly analyzed. My first article

be exact. Estimating sex using the skull is only 90% effective, while using the os coxa is 96%. But, it is better to use the entire skeleton, if it is available. In Dr. Brennen’s case, she did not always have the complete skeleton; the privy remains only provided her with the os coxa, and not the skull or hands, which could have been used in identification of the victim. Dr. Brennen, however, did not describe using the os coxa for sex estimation, just the skull. And another thing that is not very

percentile male human head. It is suggested that the brain 's mechanical response is altered by the size of the head, the central fissure and sulcus, the tentorium and Dura matter. Hence, these components have to be taken into account. The shape of the skull, the composition of gray and white matter, geometry of other soft tissues and the volume of cerebrospinal fluid vary greatly between even similar sized tissues, so no two persons have the exact same response. Hence, a universally relevant head response

analyses, such as Those involving isotopes, can provide information about the age of bones and a person’s diet. The data gathered is studied and combined to draw conclusions about the deceased individual. For a modern case, photos of the skull may be superimposed on photos of missing people to look for consistencies between the bone and fleshed form. Even in cases where

discuss these topics along with the treatments, procedures and expected outcomes. Also, you will learn about the first procedure ever done, and what led to such a form of treatment. A craniotomy, in simple terms, is surgically removing a portion of the skull so that the brain is exposed. There are several types of craniotomies, which include: • Craniectomy • Endoscopic craniotomy • “Eyebrow” craniotomy (AKA supra-orbital craniotomy) • “Keyhole” craniotomy (AKA retro-sigmoid craniotomy) • Stereotactic

energy which can cause serious brain damage through deformation (Moore, 2016). Sports helmets are specifically designed to dissipate as much energy from a collision before it reaches the brain. Also, the helmet prevents the impact from fracturing the skull, causing more serious damage. Engineers use the law of conservation of energy to design the helmets. The helmets dissipate the energy by transforming it into kinetic and elastic energy that doesn’t reach the brain (Moore, 2016). The energy is also

Infectous and Non-Infectous Diseases Pagets Disease Of The Bone Pagets Disease is a non-infectous disease effecting any part of the skeletal system of the host, but usually found in the skull, spine, plvis, thigh bone, shin and the bone in the upper arm, This causes the bones to enlarge and become weak. The cause for Pagets Disease is currently unknow but to not be confused with the unrelated skin condition that bares the same name. What Pagets Disease Does In the body there is two cells that maintain
