Introduction: Obesity during childhood is a critical public health issue. The summer break from school is a time when children are prone to accelerated weight gain. We aimed to investigate how obesity prevention or treatment programs implemented over the summer affect anthropometric measures or weight-related behaviors.

We hypothesize that the complexity of suture interdigitation in humans may provide clues to elucidate the concept of OCMM.
Objectives: We compared the interdigitation of sagittal, coronal (left and right), and lambdoid (left and right) sutures in computed tomography (CT) scans of humans and five nonhuman primate species (, , , , and ).

It is therefore useful to identify interfacial regions to answer many questions in physical chemistry. Thermodynamic phases are often described by their density and local structure; therefore, interfacial regions can then be defined as regions with densities and structures that deviate from the properties of the neighboring phases.
