โœฆ Synopsis

Cephalometric radiographs from 180 healthy Caucasian females, 90 of whom lived in the north of Finland and 90 in the south, were analysed with respect to the morphology of the atlas vertebra. The main findings were a smaller dorsal arch height and a larger ventral arch height in those from the north, including a longer atlas vertebra. These results are interpreted as evidence of morphogenetic reactions to changes in function, in this case a raised head posture attributable to climatic conditions.

## Abstract New World monkeys vary considerably in the manner and degree to which they use their tails. There ought to arise a corresponding variation in the stresses on caudal vertebrae. Consequently, different behavior types will have contrasting caudal morphologies. This study investigates cauda

The aim of this study is to understand the magnitude of the pedicle's diameters for the use of pedicle screw fixation in spinal instrumentation. Pedicle dimensions from T1 to L5 were measured in 16 whole human cadaver spines (eight women and eight men). The mean age at the time of death was 67.2 (ra
