Item description from seller

Basel, Karger, 1987, Folio, (8), 124 pp., 108 figures, 20 Tables, orig. Leineband. First Edition! Preface: "The decision to pursue the preparation of this publication was made because there is an urgent need for radiographic standards of reference for the skeletal maturation of nonhuman primates. Understanding these needs resulted in support from the Animal Resources Program of DRR, NIH, and the Veterinary Resources Branch of DRS, NIH, which made the preparation of the atlas possible. The longitudinal data on the skeletal development of Macaca mulatto from birth to 6 years of age, which the author had collected earlier, became an essential basis for this work. The frequent need for comparing nonhuman primate and human skeletal development stimulated the extension of the data base to prenatal stages of development of M. mulatto. Consequently, the radiographic standards of reference for skeletal maturation in this atlas cover the entire skeletal development of the wrist and hand of M. mulatto and are compared to bone maturation of the human hand from birth to 17 years of age. The concept of skeletal age, maturity indicators, and standards for bone maturation are not new and can be traced to the fundamental work of Todd and his co-workers and later to the published work of Greulich and Pyle, whose atlas presented bone maturation standards for the human hand and wrist in a particularly easy and convenient fashion. The present atlas is modeled loosely on this pioneering work of Greulich and Pyle. Thus, it seeks to establish skeletal age standards for the M. mulatto, and to present them in a way that would make comparability with human standards particularly convenient. Since comparable standards to a human newborn are exhibited at the beginning of the (third trimester) fetal life in the Macaca, the data presented in this atlas start at that point and continue all the way through the adult stage. Simple visual comparison of roentgenograms of an unknown with those in the atlas allows rapid determination of skeletal age in monkeys (chapters 4-7). Comparison with human age standards is made in chapters 8-10. Thus, this atlas provides information which will allow precise determination of age of experimental animals and will provide an accurate basis of comparison with human material. Pediatricians interested in growth and development, primatologists, many investigators among physical anthropologists, teratologists, anatomists, investigators of aging processes, zoologists, veterinarians, reproductive physiologists, and, in fact, any scientists using primates in research will find this atlas very helpful and beneficial in their work. Thus it is our hope that this atlas will serve the research community and provide important information in a variety of studies, such as those that utilize A. mulatto as animal models and, where their chronologic age is unknown, in numerous ontogenic and phylogenic studies, in prenatal studies where it is necessary to know the gestation age in random mated females, or in ex utero studies of fetal material, as well as in studies in which comparisons are to be made between animal and human skeletal development.". …
