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 ...
-
(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 ...
-
(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 ...
-
(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 ...
-
(Wiley, 2007-05)Sudeck's critical point at the rectosigmoid junction is described as the point of origin of the last sigmoid arterial branch, originating from the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA). There is controversy on the importance ...
-
(Wiley, 2017-06)INTRODUCTION : Sciatic nerve blocks provide intraoperative and prolonged postoperative pain management after lower limb surgery (posterior knee, foot, skin graft surgery). Accurate needle placement requires sound anatomical ...
-
(Springer, 2021-03)PURPOSE : The common peroneal nerve (CPN) can be injured during fibular-based posterolateral reconstructions due to its close relationship to the neck of the fibula. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to observe the ...
-
(Wiley, 2019-09)BACKGROUND : Pain relief for posterior fossa craniotomies as well as occipital neuralgia, are indications for the use of the greater occipital nerve block in children. The greater occipital nerve originates from the C2 ...
-
(Wiley, 2017-01)The variable development of the zygoma, dictating its shape and size variations among ancestral groups, has important clinical implications and valuable anthropological and evolutionary inferences. The purpose of the ...
-
(Elsevier, 2014-12)Population history and positive assortative mating directs gene flow in such a way that biological differences are recognized among groups. In turn, forensic anthropologists quantify biological differences to estimate ...
-
(Elsevier, 2021-10)Scavenging animals often scatter skeletal remains of forensic interest and leave bite marks. This study aimed to identify scavenging animals in the rural Lowveld of South Africa and to describe their scattering pattern and ...
-
(Elsevier, 2024-12)BACKGROUND : The placement of clavicle tunnels in coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction is well established, but the optimal position of the coracoid tunnel remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate how the ...
-
(Wiley, 2016-01)Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are small, cationic peptides that possess a large spectrum of bioactivities, including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Several AMPs are known to inhibit ...
-
(Taylor and Francis, 2016-09)CONTEXT : Pelargonium sidoides DC (Geraniaceae) is an important medicinal plant indigenous to South Africa and Lesotho. Previous studies have shown root extracts rich in polyphenolic compounds with antibacterial, antiviral ...
