[Comparative study of some cephalometric analyses. 1]. / Studio comparato di alcune analisi cefalometriche--I nota.

In this article the measurements proposed by some Authors in their cephalometric analysis will be briefly described for the facial tiptology analysis, for the maxillarys divergence analysis, for the skeletal Class analysis and for the aestetic analysis.

[Histo-ontogenetic study of the major salivary glands and Chievitz's organ]. / Studio isto-ontogenetico sulle ghiandole salivari maggiori e dell'organo di Cheivitz.

Salivary glands development has been studied by optical microscopy in 8 fetuses aged from 8 to 20 weeks of fetal life. From the observation of the sections obtained we can assume that submandibular gland is the first gland to be detectable, later the parotid gland and then the sublingual gland. In tight connection with the parotid gland Chievitz organ has been demonstrated. It is not known whether this organ may or may not contribute to parotid gland.

[Skeletal growth of young thalassemia major patients treated with intensive transfusion]. / Considerazioni sull'accrescimento scheletrico di giovani soggetti affetti da talassemia major trattati con trasfusioni intensive.

The AA. have carried out an investigation on skeletal maturation of children and adolescent with thalassemia major. The data collected in this investigation seem to indicate that skeletal age is quite similar to cronological age in the subjects studied. Furthermore any difference statistically significant as far as growth has been observed between males and of females in our sample.
