Summary
This study developed a regression model using human cricoid cartilage morphometrics for age determination. The method shows high accuracy, with potential applications in forensic science.
Area of Science:
- Forensic Anthropology
- Histomorphometry
Context:
- Accurate age determination is crucial in forensic medical examinations.
- Existing methods for age estimation have limitations.
Purpose:
- To develop a novel age determination technology using morphometric features of the human cricoid cartilage.
- To apply regression analysis for creating a predictive age model.
Summary:
- Sixty-five male cricoid cartilages were analyzed for 16 histomorphometric parameters.
- A regression analysis model was developed, achieving a prediction error of less than 5 years in 64.62% of cases.
- The model's complexity may limit immediate practical application.
Impact:
- The developed method offers a potentially accurate tool for age estimation in forensic contexts.
- Further research with larger samples and advanced statistical processing can enhance its utility.
- This technology could significantly aid forensic medical examinations.

The upper and lower limb initially develops as a small bulge called a limb bud, which appears on the lateral side of the early embryo. The upper limb bud appears near the end of the fourth week of development, with the lower limb bud appearing shortly after.
Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...

The human skull is composed of several bones that come together to protect the brain and support the structures of the face. The junctions where these bones meet are called sutures.
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

Chondrocytes form a temporary cartilaginous model by dividing and secreting a thick gel-like extracellular matrix. Once the chondrocytes undergo programmed cell death, osteoblasts enter the site of the cartilaginous model. The process of replacing the temporary cartilaginous model with bone in an ordered manner is called endochondral ossification. In endochondral ossification, not all of the cartilage is replaced by bone tissue. Some cartilage that performs a protective and supportive function...
