(University of Pretoria, 2019)Rotator cuff (RC) muscle insertion was previously thought to consist of singular, individual tendons inserting onto predefined areas on the greater and lesser tuberosities. However, more recent publications describe the ...
-
Accuracy and reliability of measurements obtained from computed tomography 3D volume rendered images (Elsevier, 2014-05)Forensic pathologists commonly use computed tomography (CT) images to assist in determining the cause and manner of death as well as for mass disaster operations. Even though the design of the CT machine does not inherently ...
-
(Springer, 2019-11)It is currently unknown whether morphological sex estimation traits are accurately portrayed on virtual bone models, and this hampers the use of virtual bone models as an alternative source of contemporary skeletal reference ...
-
(Elsevier, 2023-09)The high number of unidentified bodies recorded in South Africa annually, combined with substantial heterogeneity within the population, necessitates that innovative forensic analysis methods be developed that incorporate ...
-
(Springer, 2015-11)Extracts prepared from the roots of Pelargonium sidoides (DC) are commercially available for the treatment of respiratory related conditions. Recently, a commercial radix mother tincture of this plant was shown to have ...
-
(Taylor and Francis, 2021)The aim of this study was to identify cardiovascular effects of relevant concentrations of Cd and Hg alone and in combination as a mixture in water. This was achieved by administering to male Sprague–Dawley rats via gavage ...
-
(Sage, 2023-08)Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a common global cause of death and are therefore a major health concern. Inhaled or ingested environmental heavy metals contribute to the development of CVD. The aim of this study was to ...
-
(Taylor and Francis, 2023)Exposure to environmental metal pollutants is linked to oxidative stress and the subsequent development of neurological disease. In this study, the effects of copper, manganese, and mercury, were evaluated at X100 the World ...
-
(Routledge, 2023)The rise in respiratory disease has been attributed to an increase in environmental pollution. Heavy metals contribute to environmental contamination via air, water, soil and food. The effects of atmospheric exposure to ...
-
(Springer, 2016-05)Anthropologists are constantly seeking to improve methods for age estimation in the human skeleton. A new method was introduced about a decade ago that assesses the morphological changes that take place in the acetabulum ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2019)Age estimation in living individuals around the legal age of 18 years remains a difficult challenge, with limited options available. In this study third molar development was used, along with the novel method of anterior ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2009-05-18)The study of skeletal differences between males and females has rarely taken into account the physical change in hard tissue characteristics with the onset of advanced age. Anatomical change through degenerative modification ...
-
(Springer, 2010-01)During aging, changes in vasculature, haemostasis and endothelium, including alterations of platelets, coagulation and fibrinolytic factors, occur. Research has also reported that healthy, aged individuals have heightened ...
-
(South African Society of Cultural History, 2015-12)The South African or Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902) Orange River Concentration Camp on the farm Doornbult, close to Hopetown in the Northern Cape Province, is one of the best preserved Camps from this War. The history of the ...
-
(Wiley, 2022-11)OBJECTIVES : Effective allometry research relies on appropriate size variables; however, two of the largest obstacles in subadult (ontogenetic) allometry research is small sample sizes and unknown dimensions. This study ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2018)The father of modern regional anaesthesia, Gaston Labat, made this very important statement: “Anatomy is the foundation upon which the entire concept of regional anaesthesia is built. Anyone who wishes to be an expert in ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2017)Besides environmental exposure to metals, cigarette smoke either primary or secondary also contributes to metal exposure. This exposure in South Africa as well as in the rest of the world is increasing. Exposure to heavy ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2018)South Africans living in mining regions and/or using contaminated water, both for drinking and irrigation, are the most vulnerable to the toxic effects of heavy metals. The effect of acute and chronic metal toxicity is ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2017)The growth in the industrial sector has caused some unfavourable environmental effects. Heavy metals have become synonymous with industrial pollution due to their toxicological and physiological effects on the ecosystem. ...
-
(Wiley, 2010-09)When archaeological skeletons are assessed, the prevalence (and patterns of bone involvement) of trauma is important. The number and pattern of fractures can be used to gain insight into the occurrence of interpersonal ...
