Growth influence on tubal function.

Abstract

The influence of growth on tubal function was studied in 26 children by means of tubal function tests in a pressure chamber and by geometric analysis of lateral cephalograms. Good tubal function coincided with mesoor brachycephalic skeletons, poor tubal function with dolichocephalic morphologic patterns. According to our results, tubal function seems to be strongly influenced by the growth processes of the skull.

Further studies of crania from ancient northern Africa: an analysis of crania from first dynasty Egyptian tombs, using discriminant functions.

An analysis of First Dynasty crania from Abydos was undertaken using multiple discriminant functions. The results demonstrate greater affinity with Upper Nile Valley patterns, but also suggest change from earlier craniometric trends. Gene flow and movement of northern officials to the important southern city may explain the findings.
