has not fused to the long bone shaft. The same crack-like space appears in the upper arm bone (humerus), seen just above the skull in the main image. In most populations, these bones fuse between ...

A bio-archaeologist with the University of Reading, in the U.K., has found an ancient dog's red-painted penis bone along with a trove of other bones, in an ancient Roman era quarry shaft.

“The Nescot shaft is unusual in the scale of deposition, with a bone assemblage of around 11,400 identifiable fragments representing a minimum of 282 animals and 21 humans,” Green said.

Surprisingly, compact bone, which forms the outer shaft of the skeletal bones, shows striking changes in thinning and development of cortical porosity, affecting the overall integrity of the bone ...

This study extends the literature that uses in HR pQCT to examine ''bone quality" in vivo in a novel way using customized image acquisition and analyses protocols to assess bone parameters in the ...

We developed a customized protocol for evaluation of volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and microstructure at the metacarpal head (MH), metacarpal shaft (MS) and ultra-ultra-distal (UUD ...
