Evaluation of Hand Morphometry in Healthy Young Individuals from Different Countries

Int. j. morphol; 42 (4), 2024
SUMMARY: This study aims to examine the hand morphometry of healthy young individuals from different countries and investigate the differences between countries in typing of hand based on the morphometric values obtained. In the study, 16 different parameters, including two surface areas and 14 lengths, ...

Volumetric Analysis of Carpal Bones by Sex with 3D Slicer Software Program

Int. j. morphol; 42 (4), 2024
SUMMARY: In this study, we aim to share the volumes of the carpal bone and the ratio of these volumes to the total volume of wrist bones from Computed Tomography (CT) images obtained from individuals of different ages and sex using 3D Slicer. Right wrist CT images of 0.625 mm slice thickness of 42 health...

Morphometric Analysis of Stylomastoid Foramen and its Clinical Significance

Int. j. morphol; 42 (4), 2024
SUMMARY: The stylomastoid foramen is located on the inferior surface of the petrous part of the temporal bone between the base of the styloid process and mastoid processes. Through the stylomastoid foramen the facial nerve completes its intracranial part. The aim of this study was to analyze the morphome...

Body Composition Classification with Electrical Bioimpedance in Chilean Military by Sex

Int. j. morphol; 42 (4), 2024
SUMMARY: Military readiness relies heavily on the physical fitness and operational capability of its personnel. This study aims to enhance the effectiveness of body composition assessment and classification protocols within the military context. A comprehensive evaluation of 4370 active-duty Chilean mili...

Morphological Assessment of the Anterior Loop in the Region of Mental Foramen Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography

Int. j. morphol; 42 (3), 2024
SUMMARY: Anterior loop in the mental foramen region is a critical region in the mandible. The non detection of anterior loop leads to inadvertent complications during the surgical procedures in this region. This study aimed to evaluate the morphological assessment of the mental foramen's anterior loop (A...

Morphology and Morphometry of the Dorsal Interosseous Muscles of the Hand: Laterality and Sexual Dimorphism

Int. j. morphol; 42 (3), 2024
SUMMARY: The dorsal interosseous muscles (DIM) are intrinsic muscles of the hand located dorsally between metacarpal bones, which play a role in finger abduction. Anatomical variations of these muscles in terms of form and length have been well documented, but variations regarding sex and laterality are ...

Investigation of Lumbar Vertebrae and Disc Morphometry with Computed Tomography in Turkish Adults

Int. j. morphol; 42 (3), 2024
SUMMARY: Conducting morphometric studies including many parameters and establishing certain standards for the anatomy of the lumbar spine will facilitate clinical applications. The Turkish example of lumbar vertebrae and disc morphometry has not yet been presented comprehensively. In our study, abdominal...

Dental Loss in the Lower Socioeconomic Stratum of a Sample of the Chilean Population Born in the 19TH and 20TH Centuries

Int. j. morphol; 42 (2), 2024
SUMMARY: Partial or total dental loss (edentulism) is associated with decreased quality of life. Chile has large socioeconomic gaps, which are also recognized in oral health, but it is not known how Edentulism has evolved throughout the country. The aim of this study was to determine the edentulism in pe...

Can the Second and Fourth Finger (2D: 4D) Ratio Guide Physicians in Choosing Internal Medicine or Surgical Branch?

Int. j. morphol; 41 (4), 2023
SUMMARY: This study investigates the relationship between the second and fourth finger ratio (2D:4D), physicians' propensity to choose an internal or surgical branch, and sex differences. On a voluntary basis, 177 physicians working in Elazig, 122 men and 55 women were enrolled in the study. Their hands ...

Application of Sphenoid Sinus Morphological Characteristics in Sex Estimation Based on Magnetic Resonance Imaging Images

Int. j. morphol; 41 (4), 2023
SUMMARY: Sex determination of unknown persons plays an important role in forensic science. As most bones used for sex determination are recovered in incomplete state, it is often necessary to use bones that are recovered intact e.g., the sphenoid sinus. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value o...
