Closing and Non-closing Sutures in 256 Crania of Known Age and Sex from Amsterdam (A.D. 1883-1909)*
W.R.K. PerizoniusCurriculums:
By dividing a Dutch reference collection into to sub samples of different ages, remarkable differences were found in the suture closure process in these sub samples. Spearman rank correlations demonstrated that mean endocranial closure stage is correlated with age in the ages below fifty but not in the ages above fifty. In the latter ages in the closure stage of individual suture sections showed positive as well as negative correlations with age at death. Therefore two different suture closure indices were introduced as age indicators, one for each sub sample. In both indices are correlated with age within their sub sample. It is supposed that the required division into sub samples may be realized with the help of other age indicators. As possible age indicator, especially when used together with others in "complex methods", suture closure has not yet served its turn.
A Thermographic View of Autism
John E. Upledger, DOCurriculums:
At a center for autism, 26 children and 2 teachers were studied by thermography. Many unexplained findings, and the questions they raised were discussed. Vasoconstriction and vasodilation of the fingers were observed in response to the application of craniosacral therapy.
Childhood Behavior Problems
John E. Upledger, DOCurriculums:
The author has spent approximately six months of each of three consecutive years searching for etiologic factors at the Genessee Intermediate School District Center for Autism in Flint, Michigan. The investigation has involved physical examinations of all the children. Hair analysis and blood electrophoretic studies have been done on a large portion of the group under study. The effects of various therapeutic modalities and of changes in the physical environment upon behavior are reported in overview. In this article the results of the analysis for the mineral content of hair for a sample of forty-one children are reviewed in depth.

A study conducted by Dr. John Upledger, Zvi Karni and colleagues, wherein styles and methods of ostepathic evaluation are compared.
Detection of skull expansion with increased intracranial pressure
Heifetz MD, Weiss MCurriculums:
A technique is described which uses standard strain-gauge technology to detect skull expansion associated with increased intracranial pressure.
Trace mineral hair analysis in autistic children
K. Henderson, Sr.A. Brooks, A. Raynesford, J. UpledgerCurriculums:
A study was conducted utilizing hair analysis for a goup of autistic children to determine if any physiological disturbances were contributing to the emotional and development problems.
Examination of the Cranial Rhythm in Long-Standing Coma and Chronic Neurologic Cases
Karni, Upledger, Mizrahi, Heller, Becker, NajensonCurriculums:
This report details the results of cranial examinations performed by Dr. Upledger on coma patients in the intensive care units of the Loewenstein Rehabilitation Hospital, Ra'anana, Israel
