The authors have shown that the craniometric variability of the skull bone's fornix is connected with the skull length rather than with its height. The skull length is determined mostly by the squama of the temporal bone and occipital squama. The shape of the skull vault is determined mainly by parietal bone and squama of the frontal bone. Parietal bones shut unpaired fontanelle, but the remaining bones, under investigation, contribute to the closure of anterolateral and postero-lateral fontanelle.

Variability of its measurements, shapes as well as of peritoneal and topographic proportions were traced.

They have revealed that the pregonial notch is present in almost 90% of cases and that it is generally asymmetric and elliptical in shape. The depth and length of the anterior part of the notch is greater in males. Moreover, the preangular notch depth is greater on the right side (regardless of sex). Knowledge of the preangular notch anatomy can be useful for surgeons during reconstructive and plastic procedures on the mandibular shaft.

Value changes of these features were assessed as they are exposed to the following factors: placing in water for 6, 12 and 24 minutes; storing in refrigerator and control measurements were done after 12, 24 and 36 hours; storing in 10% solution of formalin for 1 month, 3 month and after 1 year.

The authors tried to explain the mechanism of the development of temporal squama during the infantile period. They also investigated the relations between the characteristics of the squama and the shape of neurocranium. The studies were carried out on complete material as no marked statistic bilateral and intersex differences were found. In newborn infants the squama grows lengthwise. More intensive growth of the squama length in proportion to its height leads eventually to its vaulting in adults in comparison with newborn infants. The direction of the squama growth according to the authors is due to the presence of lateral fontanella owing mainly to the lengthwise growth of the squama.

The studies on the fetal material should be always performed with great care as many errors could be introduced. Some of them are related to not enough accurate determination of the fetal age and the variability of the causes of abortion. These would result the inconsistency of stages of fetal development among the material used for the study. Therefore the research was performed using only the fetuses with accurate estimated calendar age and of similar environmental conditions for development. The causes of the abortion were related only to external factors but not to the course of pregnancy. For the analysis only the fetuses of 5th and 6th month of fetal age were used. All fetuses were aborted in the years 1965, 1970, 1975, 1980, 1985. The intersexua...

They live in the children house close to Wrocław, region Lower Silesia. The youngest boy is 8, the oldest 20, the youngest girl is 8, the oldest 19 years old. The members of the controlled group live in the children house from three months to 15 years. The weight of the body and the circumferences of the thoracic cage were collected. The scores were counted according Łutowinowa, Utkina and Cztiecowa. The highest weight in male was 176,3 cm, the lowest 123,8 cm (mean weight 155,65 cm), in females the highest weight was 168,3 cm, the lowest 114,1 cm (mean weight 151,21). The thoracic cage circumferences were as follow: in boys from 102,1 cm to 53,1 cm (mean 77,85 cm), Sławomir Woźniak, Zygmunt Domagała, Mirosław Trzaska, Dariusz Kałka, Wiesław Kurlej, Katarzyna Staszak, Maciej Oziembłowski, Bożena Kurc-Darak, Krystian Porwolik, Paweł Dąbrowski, Aleksand...

Only first−born neonates from singleton pregnancies born naturally and in very good condition (10 Apgar points) were included. Results. Statistical analysis showed that the mother’s age during pregnancy had statistically significant influence on the newborn’s wellness. Conclusions. Assuming that higher values of the metrical neonatal parameters indirectly indicate that their devel− opment is close to optimal, it can be said that newborns delivered by teenage mothers had the lowest wellness level. This conclusion was valid for all the parameters investigated and depended neither on the newborn’s sex nor preg− nancy duration. This rule was more evident for body length and weight and less for the circumference parameters (Adv Clin Exp Med 2008, 17, 6, 649–654).

Examination was made of 193 foetuses of ages ranging from 84 to 256 days after conception. The results obtained indicated that the musculus peroneus tertius was present in 83.16% of the human foetuses studied and that its intrauterine development was progressive and almost proportional. Previous studies have not revealed dimorphic or bilateral differences with respect to any of the features examined. On the basis of the examinations and bibliographical data a uniform typology of the musculus peroneus tertius variants was created and three final types were distinguished: the pithecogenic (44% cases), eugenic (34% cases) and progenic (22% cases).
