PDF-(READ)-Counting the Dead: The Epidemiology of Skeletal Populations

A compact reference stating the epidemiological methods required to study the frequency of disease in skeletal populations Discusses problems which may arise and suggests techniques to deal with them The nature of paleopathology the manner in which diagnoses should be made in paleopathology recommendations for best practice and an examination of the supposed relationship between occupation and osteoarthritis are among the topics covered. Support: bones help support and provide shape to the body. Protection: provides protection to internal organs. Mineral storage: calcium and phosphorus make bones strong and help with oxygen.

Developmental and reproductive toxicology (DART) studies are required for new chemical entities going to market to ensure that there are not adverse developmental consequences associated with the chemical. These studies involve dosing a pregnant female animal (e.g. mouse, rat, rabbit) with the compound and evaluating the effect of the chemical on the offspring. This evaluation involves the parallel processes of histopathology and gross morphological evaluation wherein the most time-consuming component of DART studies is the performance of gross skeletal evaluation. Since the introduction of Thalidomide into the marketplace, close attention has been paid to the impact of chemicals on skeletal development and DART studies require the visualization of gross skeletal morphology for abnormalities. The current methodology for conducting skeletal evaluation involves digesting soft tissue using a strong base (potassium hydroxide) and staining the bone with alizarin and cartilage in some cases with .
