Background: The ability to correctly assess the patient's bone age is an important element that allows correct diagnosis and proper planning of the start of orthodontic treatment.
Objective: The objective of this study was to estimate bone age in children with congenital craniofacial defects - primary and secondary palate cleft.
Material And Methods: The analysis covered lateral head images of 45 patients 8 to 15 years old with different types of cleft (primary and secondary palate cleft, bilateral, right or left unilateral). The patients' bone age was assessed by means of the Cervical Stage method (CS). The correlation between the bone age and chronological age was defined with the division into male and female patients.
Results: The results showed the relationship between the skeletal age and chronological age by gender and cleft type (the differences between the types of clefts by gender were presented). The correlation rate between the values of variables was defined.
Conclusions: The chronological age of children with developmental craniofacial defects (primary and secondary palate cleft) in relation to the stages of skeletal development, indicates a difference of about one year in plus and that fact should be taken into account when choosing orthodontic treatment.

Background: Melatonin levels decrease with aging and substantially during puberty. Studies have presented distinct melatonin levels in patients with disorders related to their pubertal development compared to healthy controls. The discrepancy suggests that a decrease in melatonin concentrations seen during adolescence might be related to the physical, hormonal, and/or neuronal alterations that occur during the pubertal period.

Introduction: Evidence suggests that social prescribing might have a positive impact on identity, control, creativity and quality of life in people with dementia. While evidence on the benefits of social prescribing is accumulating, there is a sparsity of research on the experiences of social prescribers. This study aims to identify the challenges that social prescribers face when supporting people with dementia and their families and strategies to address these.

Purpose: Most auditory-perceptual voice research utilizes the judgments of trained listeners rather than everyday listeners with no previous training in speech pathology. Online crowdsourcing of behavioral data from untrained participants is rapidly increasing in popularity but has yet to be a common procedure for auditory-perceptual studies of the voice. The objective of this pilot study was to assess the functionality of this model for judgments of voice by using an online experiment platform to replicate a lab-based, voice-specific age estimation study.

Background: Early menarche is associated with both physical and psychosocial problems. Based on psychological and physical health considerations, for girls with early menarche, some parents and physicians may elect to use gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRHa) to delay menstruation. This study aimed to explore the effects of GnRHa treatment on the final height of girls with early menarche and build the models to predict the final adult height (FAH).

Subjective age, that is felt age compared to chronological age, is an important predictor of health and well-being in later life. It can fluctuate from day to day and from one moment to another. Previous cross-sectional and macro-longitudinal studies have shown that feeling younger is related to physical fitness and exercise.
