“…Moreover, five academic dissertations are currently being conducted on this material (Soriano, personal communication). The Biobank Eduardo Daruge produced over 10 papers already published [72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82]. Moreover, very recently, unprecedented results about the lag time of modern bomb-pulse radiocarbon in human bone tissues of a joint project between Brazilian and US researchers were published [43], and the samples used came from the three major Brazilian collections.…”

Recent years have brought an important increase in the interest in identified human osteological collections in South America. Their number has been systematically growing and their sizes have been expanding, allowing the development of the field of forensic anthropology, among other disciplines, in this region. These collections are used mainly for the validation of international forensic anthropology methods for national and local populations, as well as for the training of professionals and researchers. Despite their growth, important limitation related to the lack of variability in the representativeness of individuals within these collections represents a significant drawback. Likewise, their concentration in only a few countries constitutes a noteworthy concern. This article aims at mapping the existing identified human osteological collections in South America, discussing the advances in the area of forensic anthropology that they have allowed, and reflecting upon their ethical dimensions in the South American context.

“…The prevalence of FT varies with sex, with a higher prevalence among females than males. 12,13 Based on the hypothesis that temporomandibular disorders may be more prominent in individuals with FT, we aimed to evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of FT with CBCT data of these patients.…”

BackgroundForamen tympanicum (FT) is a defect located anterior‐inferior to the external acoustic meatus. We evaluated its prevalence, location, size, and relationship with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.MethodsCone beam computed tomography was performed for 200 patients who presented to the Karamanoğlu Mehmetbey University Ahmet Keleşoğlu Faculty of Dentistry Hospital. The location and size of the FT in the axial and sagittal planes were evaluated. Descriptive statistics were used to compare the study parameters among age and sex groups. Patients with FT were reevaluated by two maxillofacial surgeons at the study centre.ResultsIn total, 200 images from 400 joints were examined. Unilateral and bilateral FT (19 [9.5%] and 8 [4%], respectively) was detected in 35 (17.5%) images from 27 (13.5%) patients. Examinations were performed for TMJ disorders in 24 patients. Participants with bilateral defects had the highest rates of presence of sounds and ear pain on the left and right sides (p < .05).ConclusionForamen tympanicum can lead to TMJ disorders and spread of tumours or infections from the external auditory canal to the infratemporal fossa. The increased prevalence of such disorders in patients with bilateral FT suggests an association between them.
