“…Positional deformations, also called deformational modifications of the calvarium, may result from accidental and prolonged application of pressure on the posterior portion of the skull through, for example, sleeping regularly in a supine position on a relatively hard surface during infancy and childhood (Ortner & Putschar, 1981; Di Rocco et al ., 1998; Bridges et al ., 2002; Tubbs et al ., 2006). The most common form of positional deformation is deformational nonsynostotic plagiocephaly; it is characterized by significant asymmetry that affects the cranial vault, face and skull base (Littlefield et al ., 2005).…”

Solubility and metastable zone width (MSZW) of DL‐tartaric acid (DL‐TA) in aqueous solution have been determined. Solubility of DL‐TA was measured in the temperature range from 0 to 50 °C at atmospheric pressure by means of the conventional polythermal method using Turbidity Monitoring Technique, which was verified by a gravimetric method. The dissolution enthalpy and entropy of DL‐TA were then calculated from the solubility data using van't Hoff equation. Two approaches was used to estimate the nucleation kinetics from the measured metastable zone width data, the self‐consistent approach and the approach based on 3D nucleation. In addition, the metastable zone width slightly decreases with increasing agitation rate and was independent of working volume.

“…Posterior plagiocephaly refers to an asymmetric shape of the posterior part of the cranium that can be due either to true parieto-occipital bone fusion or to a deformed occiput by external forces [14,19,22,25,30,31,36,38]. The distinction between these two conditions has proven to be quite difficult and some authors include a "sticky" lambdoid suture within the group of lambdoid synostosis [22,25,31].…”

“…The proportion of true lambdoid craniosynos-tosis ranges from 1 to 3% of all craniosynostoses. Much more frequent is the so-called deformational or positional posterior plagiocephaly, which has been related with the sleeping supine position recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics to prevent the sudden infant death syndrome [19,22,30,36]. In fact, the prevalence of posterior plagiocephaly without synostosis has increased in recent years and is estimated in 33:10,000 [22,30,36].…”

Background The authors report the morphological and neuroimaging findings of an immature human fossil (Cranium 14) diagnosed with left lambdoid synostosis. Discussion The skull was recovered at the Sima de los Huesos site in Atapuerca (Burgos, Spain). Since the human fossil remains from this site have been dated to a minimum age of 530,000 years, this skull represents the earliest evidence of craniosynostosis occurring in a hominid. A brief historical review of craniosynostosis and cranial deformation is provided.

Artificial cranial modification on a female skeleton from the Byzantine site of Maroneia (Thrace, Greece)

Artificial cranial modification is one of the most often documented types of intentional intervention on the human skeleton in the anthropological record. A female cranium exhibiting headshaping recently came to light at the Early Byzantine site of Maroneia, in Thrace, northern Greece. Headshaping was practiced by several different population groups during the migration period (1st-9th c. AD), but was unknown in Byzantine customs. Homogeneity in burial customs, evidenced by the skeleton's position and orientation and by cemetery topography, strongly supports the hypothesis that this burial belonged to a Christianised citizen who had the right to be buried in a common Christian cemetery. Headshaping provides strong evidence for the cultural adaptability and complexity of Early Byzantine society at Maroneia, an important provincial urban centre of the Byzantine Empire.
