Article Synopsis
- Estimating human chronological age is crucial in forensic science, and this study compares skeletal maturation and dental mineralization methods for accuracy in Egyptian children and adolescents.
- The research included 176 participants aged 8-16, analyzing radiographs with the Fishman and Nolla methods, revealing that both are valid age predictors but Nolla outperformed Fishman.
- Nolla slightly underestimated age while Fishman overestimated it, and the study recommends using only the Nolla method for age estimation, as it provides the most reliable results without needing additional radiographic assessments.
Background: A considerable portion of acutely intoxicated patients is presented with impaired consciousness. Early identification of those patients who require advanced medical care, such as mechanical ventilation (MV), can improve their prognosis.
Methods: This study included 330 acutely intoxicated patients who were presented with impaired consciousness and admitted to Tanta University Poison Control Center, Egypt, in the period from January 2021 to December 2023.
