Introduction Microcephaly is a medical condition in which your child’s head is much smaller than normal. Head size (circumference) is measured as part of children's routine checkups. A child’s head grows while in the womb and during the first few years of life. Your child may be born with microcephaly, or the condition may be diagnosed in the months after birth. It is usually diagnosed by age 2. Children with mild microcephaly may develop and grow normally. Children with more severe microcephaly

Salgado Mr. Belmont College Composition 2 31 January 2017 Cause and Effect Causes and Effects of Craniosynostosis Craniosynostosis, or simply synostosis, is a birth defect in which one or more of the fibrous joints between the bones of the baby's skull [cranial sutures] close prematurely [fuse], before the baby's brain is fully formed, and continues to grow giving the head a misshapen appearance. Commonly, Craniosynostosis is present at birth, but it is not always diagnosed when mild. Usually it

significantly different from each other. The traits that would tell the difference between each other from the cranial traits would be the Skull case, Zygomatic, Brow ridge and lastly Sagittal keel. I predicted for the Skull case for the Homo erectus would be the smallest box line, for the skull case for the Homo Neanderthal would be the largest skull while the Homo sapiens skull case would be round. I predicted for the Zygomatic for the Homo erectus would have a medium sized cheek, for the zygomatic for the

decision to conduct a search of Mr Leonard Wills’ house and garden after his suicide. During the search an oil drum was uncovered, located beneath an ornamental pond. Inside the oil drum a number of black bags (4) were discovered each encompassing a skull, pelvis, and femur. The police are working with the rational that each bag contains the remnants of one person. Aims: The practical aims to establish a minimum number of individuals at the crime scene, a biological profile for each victim and the

considerable field of work in the plan of orthodontic treatment. Severe malformations of the midface such as maxillary or mandibular deformity can be treated by the distraction and reformation of skull bones. During an operation, the appropriate bony part of the mid-face is separated from the rest of the skull (osteotomy), slowly moved into the ideal position by way of a distraction device. In the current clinical practice, planning for orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery was based on Computed

Control, more than 300,000 babies worldwide are born with a NTD which makes NTD 's the leading cause of defects in developing infants. 2. Imagine going to the doctor to see your baby for the first time and seeing that it only has half a skull. B. Reason to Listen: 1. One in 20,000 babies will have acrania. And 1 out of every 4,859 babies are born with anencephaly in the United States each year. There is no specific cause for this disease and it could happen to anyone at

The key distinction in distinguishing synapsids from other amniotes is their synapsid skull; the synapsid skull is a skull with the presence of a lower temporal (synapsid) fenestra, plus a few other skull features (Fig. 1) (Pough, Janis, and Heiser 448). Fig. 1- Diagram of the Synapsid Skull. The diagram depicts a generalized image of the Synapsid skull. The key in differentiating the Synapsid skull from other skulls is that temporal fenestra, which is located behind the orbit. Dilkes DW & RR Reisz

Shaken Baby Syndrome Imagine yourself as a sweet, innocent, precious little baby. You are totally dependant upon adults to give you what you need and most importantly love. Your only means of communication is crying so you cry when you need to be fed, when you need your diaper changed, when you aren’t feeling so well, or when you just want some attention. You are crying and someone comes over to you. They pick you up, but instead of holding you and comforting you, talking affectionately to you,

Evidence      With regards to the multi-regional continuity model of human evolution, there is without a doubt a preponderance of fossil data that supports the diverse origins of Homo sapiens in different regions of the globe. Skulls displaying a wide variety of mixed modern and archaic features have been found in every corner of the world. The mere existence of these fossils is evidence enough to prove that human evolution was far less cut-and-dried a process than the advocates

discovery: a portion of a skull, would be one of the most telling artifacts of the expedition. The skull was, like the other bones
