In the past, determination of bone maturity relied on visual evaluation of skeletal development in the hand and wrist, most commonly using the Greulich and Pyle atlas. The Gilsanz and Ratib digital atlas takes advantage of digital imaging and provides a more effective and objective approach to assessment of skeletal maturity. The atlas integrates the key morphological features of ossification in the bones of the hand and wrist and provides idealized, sex- and age-specific images of skeletal development New to this revised second edition is a description and user manual for Bone Age for iPad®, iPhone® and iPod touch®, which can be purchased and used separately from this book. The App can be easily employed to calculate the deviation of the patient’s age from the normal range and to predict a possible growth delay. This easy-to-use atlas and the related App will be invaluable for radiologists, endocrinologists, and pediatricians and also relevant to forensic physicians.

Widens traditional concepts of forensic science to include humanitarian, social, and cultural aspects Using the preservation of the dignity of the deceased as its foundation, Forensic Science and Humanitarian Action: Interacting with the Dead and the Living is a unique examination of the applications of humanitarian forensic science. Spanning two comprehensive volumes, the text is sufficiently detailed for forensic practitioners, yet accessible enough for non-specialists, and discusses both the latest technologies and real-world interactions. Arranged into five sections, this book addresses the ‘management of the dead’ across five major areas in humanitarian forensic science. Volume One presents the first three of these areas: History, Theory, Practice, and Legal Foundation; Basic Forensic Information to Trace Missing Persons; and Stable Isotopes Forensics. Topics covered include: Protection of The Missing and the Dead Under International Law Social, Cultural and Religious Factors in Humanitarian Forensic Science Posthumous Dignity and the Importance in Returning Remains of the Deceased The New Disappeared – Migration and Forensic Science Stable Isotope Analysis in Forensic Anthropology Volume Two covers two further areas of interest: DNA Analysis and the Forensic Identification Process. It concludes with a comprehensive set of case studies focused on identifying the deceased, and finding missing persons from around the globe, including: Forensic Human Identification from an Australian Perspective Skeletal Remains and Identification Processing at the FBI Migrant Deaths along the Texas/Mexico Border Humanitarian Work in Cyprus by The Committee on Missing Persons (CMP) Volcán De Fuego Eruption – Natural Disaster Response from Guatemala Drawing upon a wide range of contributions from respected academics working in the field, Forensic Science and Humanitarian Action is a unique reference for forensic practitioners, communities of humanitarian workers, human rights defenders, and government and non-governmental officials.

In view of the plethora of new developments occurring in the advanced world it is imperative that an updated reference on the techniques of measurement of growth and developments of children is provided to assess the growth. This book has been developed under the aegis of institute of growth and development. The study of growth is of paramount importance in pediatrics. Growth is a measurable index of health and a child is whether growing adequately or not needs to be taken care of. It is important that appropriate scientifically sound and statistically relevant methods are applied. Growth is influenced by genetic factors as well s nutrition, social, economic, psychological environment and illness. It necessitates studying all aspects influencing growth of a child so as to detect deficiencies or disorders appropriately. This book bridges the gap between what is taught and what is practiced. It provides a wholesome, practicable scientific approach to this subject. Covers the study of developmental syndromes, biological and environmental risks for development and growth. Covers the new statistical procedures, consensus on growth norms, childhood obesity tall stature, problems of puberty, and psychological concerns of adolescence various behavioral problems, early stimulation program, autism, language delay etc. This book provides a new approach to the subject of growth and development of children and as far as possible fulfills the lacunae of the previous edition. A useful volume for students in pediatrics, researchers in the field of human growth and development
