“…Para‐functional activity of the skeletal muscular system, instead, generates several anomalies which create an imbalance in the stomatognathic apparatus often producing occlusal interferences (Baldini, 2010 ; Carini et al, 2017 ; Cattoni et al, 2007 ; Cuccia & Caradonna, 2009 ; Gangloff et al, 2000 ; Hellsing et al, 1987 ; Milani et al, 2000 ; Nobili & Adversi, 1996 ; Perillo et al, 2011 ; Solow & Sonnesen, 1998 ; Valentino et al, 2002 ; Yoshino et al, 2003 ), temporomandibular (Bracco et al, 2004 ; Cuccia, 2011 ; Kritsineli & Shim, 1992 ; Lee et al, 1995 ; Olivo et al, 2006 ; Traversari et al, 2019 ) and musculoskeletal disorders (D'Attilio et al, 2005 ; Gadotti et al, 2005 ; Valentino & Melito, 1991 ).…”

Objectives: Palate morphology is constantly changing throughout an individual's lifespan, yet its asymmetry during growth is still little understood. In this research, we focus on the study of palate morphology by using 3D geometric morphometric approaches to observe changes at different stages of life, and to quantify the impact of directional and fluctuating asymmetry on different areas at different growth stages. Materials and Methods:The sample consists of 183 individuals (1-72 years) from two identified human skeletal collections of 19th and early 20th Century Italian contexts. A 3D-template of 41 (semi)landmarks was applied on digital palate models to observe morphological variation during growth.Results: Asymmetrical components of the morphological structure appears multidirectional on the entire palate surface in individuals <2 years old and become oriented (opposite bilateral direction) between 2 and 6 years of age. Specifically, directional asymmetry differentially impacts palate morphology at different stages of growth. Both the anterior and posterior palate are affected by mild alterations in the first year of life, while between 2 and 6 years asymmetry is segregated in the anterior area, and moderate asymmetry affects the entire palatal surface up to 12 years of age. Our results show that stability of the masticatory system seems to be reached around 13-35 years first by females and then males. From 36 years on both sexes show similar asymmetry on the anterior area. Regarding fluctuating asymmetry, interindividual variability is mostly visible up to 12 years of age, after which only directional trends can be clearly observed at a group level.

“…In the investigation of the second roll (T9-Iv2), the acquisition was carried out using a protocol called "Dual Energy ^ DE-Spine-Metal-Vol (adult)", with acquisition parameters corresponding to 180 mA and 100kV. The slice thickness and the interval of both acquisition and reconstruction correspond to 0,6 x 0,6 mm (Petrella et al, 2016;Traversari et al, 2019a;Traversari et al, 2019b;Traversari et al, 2016) and a total of 561 slices were reconstructed. To estimate the age at death of the bone elements, the protocol drawn up by Scheuer, Musgrave, and Evans (1980) was used.…”

During an excavation campaign in the Church of the Conversion of Saint Paul in Roccapelago (North Italy), a hidden crypt was discovered, which yielded the remains of more than 400 individuals. The crypt was used as a cemetery by the inhabitants of the village of Roccapelago between the 16th and 18th centuries. Along the north side of the crypt, an area apparently separated from the rest of the burials was found, bordered by stones, where several burials of newborns and infants were concentrated. From here, five fabric rolls containing bones were recovered, and it was decided not to carry out destructive analyses, allocating the two best examples to a thorough radiological investigation to try to define the type of burial and the complete biological profile of the infant. The two rolls, subjects of this study, can be dated archaeologically between the 17th and 18th centuries. CT analysis shows a varied group of bones with a fairly good state of conservation. The paleoradiological study carried out had the primary objective of avoiding the destruction of the two rolls, ensuring their conservation; but at the same time, providing essential data to understand their nature, defining the biological profile and the type of deposition.

“…Individual SU23-id49 was CT scanned at the Morgagni-Pierantoni city hospital (Forlì, Italy). High-quality images were generated using a MDCT 16 slices multi-detector scanner (General Electric Lightspeed System, Milwaukee, WI) with the following acquisition parameters: single helical scan, 1.25 slice thickness, reconstruction interval of 0.7 mm, and an energy of 120 kV and 140-300 mA [12,[21][22][23].…”

Giant cell tumor of bone in an eighteenth-century Italian mummy

Giant cell tumor (GCT) of the bone is a locally aggressive and rarely metastasizing neoplasm. It is composed of neoplastic mononuclear stromal cells with a monotonous appearance admixed with macrophages and osteoclast-like giant cells. In a small subset of cases, GCT is malignant. Terminology previously related to this entity, and which is no longer supported by the World Health Organization, includes osteoclastoma and benign fibrous histiocytoma (BFH). Giant cells occur in numerous other pathologic conditions of the bone, which accounts for the misrepresentation of these non-GCT tumors in the early literature. Non-ossifying fibroma (NOF), aneurysmal bone cyst, and chondroblastoma have been erroneously labeled GCT for this reason. A single description of an ancient GCT was reported by Brothwell and Sandison and subsequently mentioned by Aufderheide and Rodrìguez-Martìn who were astonished that more of these tumors had not been identified in archaeological cases. To the best of our knowledge, no other cases of ancient GCT have been cited in the paleopathology literature. The study of this type of neoplasm in antiquity can be used as a means to better understand its characteristics and behavior and to expand the depth of time of the etiology of these lesions. We report a case of GCT of the left femur observed following the total body CT imaging of a partially mummified adult female, dating to eighteenth century.
