A new article was published
A research article, "Pregnancy parturition scars in the preauricular area and the association with the total number of pregnancies and parturitions" in American Journal of Physical Anthropology (Yuriko Igarashi, a co-investigator at B03 is a first author). This study clarified the association between the degree of development of pregnancy parturition scars (PPSs) and the total number of pregnancies and parturitions (TNPPs) on the basis of new identification standards for PPS in the preauricular area on the iliac bone. No PPS indicated no TNPP, weak PPS indicated a lower TNPP, and developed PPS indicated a higher TNPP. The percentage of each PPS category could indicate fertility in the population.
Acknowledgments: The authors are deeply indebted to the donors who donated their body for the practice of dissections in systematic anatomies from 1989 to 2016 to medical collages, and their bereaved. This study would not have been possible without their generosity.
