An evaluation of Lake Michigan alewife aging methodologies, growth, and stock separation

Labay, Steven R. January 2005 (has links)
Ageing methodologies of Lake Michigan alewife were evaluated as a precursor to growth and condition investigations of alewife stocks. Four commonly used aging tissues were evaluated including: otoliths, scales, vertebrae, and opercles. Otoliths were significantly more precise than other structures in all analyses. The accuracy of age determinations given by otoliths was corroborated through length frequency analysis. Total processing time was highest for scales. Whole otolith methodology was used to age alewives from Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin based on precision, accuracy, and time efficiency. A trend of higher median lengths and weights in young fish from the Green Bay, Wisconsin site was identified. Older fish grew faster in the main-lake sample sites near Pentwater, Michigan and Indiana waters. The Indiana population had the highest condition factor (K), while Wisconsin had the lowest, with Michigan in between. An overall temporal decline in condition of alewife was identified when compared with historical studies. This is a consideration that may influence salmonid stocking decisions because the alewife serves as their primary food. / Department of Biology

Comparison between chronological and dental ages according to three estimation methods in a Peruvian population / Comparación entre edad cronológica y dental según tres métodos de estimación en una población peruana

Dental age estimation techniques have great importance in dental evaluation, specifically in the orthodontic, academic, and forensic areas. The aim of this study was to compare the dental age according to the Demirjian, Nolla and Cameriere methods with the chronological age in a Peruvian population. This is an observational, descriptive, retrospective and cross-sectional study, which had a total population of 578 panoramic radiographs of subjects aged 6 to 14 years, where the difference in means from a previous study was calculated, and 193 subjects were finally randomly selected. The chronological ages (CA) and dental ages (DA) were compared using the Wilcoxon and Kruskall Wallis Range Tests. The means were 8.77 ± 2.34 and 8.90 ± 2.04 years of the CA for the female and male genders, respectively. The difference in means of the CA and DA according to the Nolla, Demirjian and Cameriere methods were-0.38, 0.96 and-0.21 years, respectively, for the total study sample. A positive correlation was found for the three methods studied; however, the Demirjian method showed a statistically significant difference with an underestimation of-0.91 years in the total sample. Also, the method of Cameriere was the closest to the chronological age. / Las técnicas de estimación de edad dental tienen gran importancia en la evaluación odontológica, específicamente en el área de ortodoncia, académica y forense. El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar la edad dental según los métodos de Demirjian, Nolla y Cameriere con la edad cronológica en una población peruana. El diseño del estudio es de tipo observacional, descriptivo, de corte transversal y retrospectivo; tuvo una población total de 578 radiografías panorámicas de sujetos de 6 a 14 años, en las cuales se calculó la diferencia de medias de un estudio previo y, finalmente, fueron seleccionadas 193 de forma aleatoria. Se compararon la edad cronológica (EC) y la edad dental (ED) según los métodos de Nolla, Demirjian y Cameriere, utilizando las Pruebas de Rangos de Wilcoxon y Kruskall Wallis. Las medias de la EC fueron de 8,77±2,34 y 8,90±2,04 años para el género femenino y masculino, respectivamente. Las diferencias de medias de la EC y ED, de acuerdo con los métodos Nolla, Demirjian y Cameriere, fue de -0,38, 0,96 y -0,29 años, respectivamente, para la muestra total de estudio. Se encontró una correlación positiva para los tres métodos estudiados; sin embargo, el método de Demirjian mostró una diferencia estadísticamente significativa con una subestimación de -0,91 años en la muestra total. Asimismo, el método de Cameriere fue el que tuvo más cercanía a la edad cronológica. / Revisión por pares

Estimativa da idade cronológica por meio de avaliação radiográfica da mineralização de terceiros molares e altura do ramo da mandíbula / Age determination by means of radiographic evaluation of third molar mineralization and height of the mandibular ramus

Oliveira, Fernando Toledo de 23 September 2010 (has links)
A estimativa da idade é um elemento importante na investigação antropológica, sendo uma das fontes preliminares dos dados para estabelecer a identidade de pessoas vivas ou restos mortais desconhecidos. Os métodos mais utilizados para este fim são os baseados no desenvolvimento ósseo e dentário dos indivíduos. Neste sentido, o presente trabalho apresentou como objetivo, estabelecer valores de referência na população brasileira para a estimativa da idade, por meio de dois métodos: a análise da mineralização dos terceiros molares; e a mensuração da altura do ramo mandibular. Para isso, foram escaneadas radiografias (407 panorâmicas e 289 cefalométricas em norma lateral) de pacientes, de 6 a 25 anos de idade, atendidos na Faculdade de Odontologia de Bauru. As imagens radiográficas panorâmicas foram utilizadas para análise da mineralização dos terceiros molares inferiores, através do método proposto por Demirjian, Goldstein e Tanner (1973), e as imagens radiográficas cefalométricas utilizadas para medir a altura do ramo da mandíbula. Os resultados indicam uma forte correlação entre a idade cronológica e ambos os métodos utilizados, proporcionando a elaboração de fórmulas para o cálculo da idade aproximada dos indivíduos na população estuda. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significante para o desenvolvimento dos terceiros molares entre os sexos. Já para a altura do ramo da mandíbula, essa diferença ocorreu entre os 16 e 25 anos de idade. A probabilidade de afirmamos que um indivíduo tem 18 anos ou mais de idade, com base nas duas metodologias proposta neste trabalho, é extremamente alta (>90%). Concluiu-se que ambos os métodos estariam aptos a serem utilizados para estimar a idade na população brasileira, entretanto, pelo fato do Brasil ser um país com extenso território e apresentar uma população bastante miscigenada, novos estudos devem ser realizados, aumentando a amostra dessa população, e permitindo o aprimoramento dos valores aqui informados. / Age determination is an important element in anthropological research, one of the primary sources of data to establish the person living identity or unknown remains. The aim of this paper was to establish reference values in Brazilian population to estimate chronological age by two methods: mineralization of third molars and measurement of the mandible ramus height. Therefore, radiographs from patients between 6 to 25 years, were scanned (407 panoramics and 289 cephalometrics). The patients were from School of Dentistry at Bauru. The panoramic radiographs were used for analysis the mineralization of the mandibular third molars. Moreover, cephalometric radiographs were used to measure the mandibular height. The results indicated a strong correlation between chronological age and both methods, providing the development of formulas for calculating the approximate real age of individuals by radiographs. There was no statistically significant difference for the third molars development between sexes. There was a significant difference between men and women for ramus height of the mandible for the range between 16 and 25 years. The probability of a claim that an individual is 18 years or older, based on the two methodologies proposed in this work was extremely high (>90%). It was concluded that both methods were suitable to be used to estimate the age in Brazilian population. However, as Brazil is a country with vast territory and present a fairly mixed population, it is necessary further studies to confirm the values reported.
