The aim of the study was a comparative analysis of variations in the position and topography of the mandibular canal based on radiographic images of human mandibles originating from modern and medieval skulls. Materials and methods: Morphometric examination of 126 radiographs of skulls (92 modern and 34 medieval skulls) was included. The age and sex of individuals were determined based on the morphology of the skull, the obliteration of cranial sutures, and the degree of tooth wear. To define the topography of the mandibular canal on X-ray images, we took 8 anthropometric measurements. Results: We observed significant differences in several parameters. The distance between the base of the mandible and the bottom of the mandibular canal, the distance between the top of the mandibular canal and the crest of the alveolar arch, and the height of the mandibular body. Significant asymmetry was found for two parameters of mandibles from modern skulls: the distance between the top of the mandibular canal and the crest of the alveolar arch at the level of the second molar (p<0.05), and the distance between the mandibular foramen and the margin of the anterior mandibular ramus (p<0.007). There were no significant differences between measurements taken on the right and left sides of the medieval skulls. Conclusions: Our study revealed differences in the position of the mandibular canal between modern and medieval skulls, confirming the presence of geographical and chronological differences between populations. Knowledge of variability in the position of the mandibular canal between different local populations is fundamental for the correct interpretation of findings from diagnostic radiological studies used in dental practice and in forensic odontology or analysis of archaeological bone materials.

Those objects might be of a different origin, depending on various factors influencing members of a community (i.e. diseases, trauma), which provides information about their living conditions. The St. Nicholas Church archaeological site (Libkovice, Czechia) in the 18th century horizon of the cemetery, yielded a maturus-senilis female skeleton with a stone object in the left iliac fossa. This object was an oviform cyst-like rough structure, measuring 54 mm in length, 35 mm in maximum diameter and 0.2–0.7 mm shell thickness. Within the object there were small fetal bones (long bones, i.e. femur and two tibias, two scapulas, three ribs, vertebrae and other tiny bone fragments). Methods utilized to analyze the outer and inner surface morphology of the cyst and its inside, included: X-ray, CT imaging, SEM, histological staining and EDS. The EDS analysis revealed th...

Material and methods The selected spirometry parameters FVC, FVC%, FEV1, FEV1%, FEV1 / VC were evaluated in 20 players 17-18 years old. The results were related to the value of the reference population studies. The evaluation was performed at the beginning and at the end of preparatory period. 70 Results and Conclusions Preparation players in the preparatory period does not increase significantly the level of respondents respiratory parameters FVC, FVC%, FEV1, FEV1%. The three-month training of football players during the preparation period does not significantly increase the level of respiratory parameters tested.

A group of subjects consisted of 14 boys and 12 girls aged 11. In the both studied groups there is a tendency towards improvement of all studied traits except suppleness in the examined group of boys. In girls, compared with the group of boys, there is a smaller value of strength both at initial and final stage of studies. In boys, compared with the group of girls, there is smaller suppleness both at initial and final stage of tests.

Knowledge about its natural past and historical relevance is however insufficient. Such matters as chronology, settlement forms, methods and scale of natural resource exploitation and environmental changes resulting from anthropopressure possess great potential for further study. This article contains selected preliminary results of the changes in woodland ecosystems from late prehistory to modern times revealed by the in-depth, complementary natural and archaeological analysis of forest landscapes. Findings related to the settlement from the Roman Influence Period, operation of bog iron ore deposits and charcoal production for the needs of medieval and post-medieval metallurgy, research on the transformations caused by man of forest biotopes and phytocoenoses are described.
