Febrile seizures (FSs) represent the most common form of childhood seizure. In the Japanese
population, the incidence rate is as high as 7%. It has been recognized that there is a …

Pulp cavity size is known to decrease with age and can therefore serve as an indicator for
age estimation. Here, we evaluated whether reconstructed images of multidetector‐row …

Closure of cranial sutures progresses with age; therefore, macroscopic assessment of
cranial sutures has been used as one method of age estimation. Postmortem computed …

Serum adiponectin levels were investigated in 28 small-for-gestational-age (SGA) and 34
appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA) term neonates to examine how fetal growth correlates …

Accurate sex estimation based on measurements of dimorphic dimensions in human unknown
remains is important as the first step toward making individual identification. The purpose …

OBJECTIVE Simple obesity is characterized by normal or accelerated growth in the presence
of reduced serum levels of GH, whereas its detailed mechanism remains unknown. We, …

We evaluated the relationship between stature and the length of the sacrum and coccyx using
multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and derived regression equations for stature …

The characterization of unidentified bodies or suspected human remains is a frequent and
important task for forensic investigators. However, any identification method requires clues to …

Sex estimation of decomposed or skeletal remains is clearly important in forensic contexts.
Recently, contemporary population-specific data has been obtained using multidetector …

One way to estimate biological age is to use the aspartic acid (Asp) racemization method.
Although this method has been performed mostly using enamel and dentin, we investigated …
