Multivariate analysis of early hominid pelvic bones.

Multivariate analyses of the acetabular and iliac parts of fossil hominid and extant hominoid pelvic bones show that (1) the best preserved fossil from Swartkrans (SK 3155) is more similar to the Sterkfontein pelvis (Sts 14) than either fossil is to any extant hominoid species; (2) of the living hominoids, all of the fossils are closer to modern Homo sapiens than to the apes; and (3) the robust and gracile forms of South African australopithecines are somewhat different from one another, the gracile form falling nearer to Homo sapiens, but neither form demonstrably closer to the pongids.

Chemofiltration and chemoembolization: new techniques in advanced pelvic bone malignancies. Case report on three cases.

The survival time and the quality of life in patients with advanced pelvic bone malignancies are still challenges for oncologists. In order to ameliorate the poor results that surgery and chemotherapy can routinely offer, we developed new loco-regional approaches like intra-arterial chemotherapy, alone or combined with chemofiltration of venous return, and chemoembolization. Chemofiltration makes it possible to cut off the high systemic drug peaks by filtering the venous drainage of a body area arterially infused. Chemoembolization causes a reduction of blood flow and therefore a prolongation of the transit time through the neoplasm vascular bed; this will increase the contact time between the drugs and the tumor cells. Three patients were treated with our loco-regional treatments and the results are reported below.

Primary pelvic bone tumours in children and adolescents--imaging correlation.

Eight children aged 6 to 17 years (mean 13.3 years) were examined using conventional radiography, radionuclide bone scintigraphy, CT and MR imaging for pre-treatment assessment of extensive primary pelvic bone tumours. The tumours evaluated were Ewing's sarcoma (n = 4), osteogenic sarcoma (n = 3), and chondrosarcoma (n = 1). Each imaging modality made a contribution to the evaluation of the primary tumour. Conventional radiography and bone scintigraphy were necessary for the initial diagnosis, with CT playing a complementary role. MR imaging and/or dynamic contrast-enhanced CT were mandatory prior to surgical resection.
