brachycephaly

1 —Moderate brachycephaly is the commonest head form of Fijians, although the total range is great.

2 As we have just seen Hrdlička recognises a dolichocephalic element in North America, and various ethnic groups range to pronounced brachycephaly.

3 The Fijian head, despite its general brachycephaly, is rather compressed in the temporal area and submedium in parietal elevation.

4 Polynesian influence in Fiji is most clearly demonstrated by lighter pigmentation, tall and muscular body build, moderate brachycephaly, broad faces and jaws, high and fairly long noses and strong chins.

5 Aside from that, dogs that are more prone to overheating — like brachycephalic breeds, breeds with thick coats, and overweight or senior dogs can also benefit.

6 Although some diversity still exists in the Bulldog gene pool, including in genes that affect the brachycephaly trait, other genetic loci show very little variety.

7 The helmets are used to treat plagiocephaly and brachycephaly or flat head syndrome.

8 The second type that has a very difficult time are the flat-faced dogs, which are known as brachycephalic breeds.

9 On average, brachycephalic dogs were less healthy than non-brachycephalic dogs.

10 The fact that dolichocephaly is more prevalent in cities and brachycephaly in rural areas has been interpreted in various ways.

11 Breeding for flat faces has resulted in an extreme form of brachycephaly—a shortening of the skull—that is now the leading cause of death for bulldogs.

12 Molly H. Sumridge, an instructor of anthrozoology at Carroll College, noted to Salon that humans with brachycephaly usually do not have the extreme symptoms intentionally bred into many dogs.

13 It is, however, inaccurate to state that brachycephaly appears at once with the neolithic age, dolichocephaly even of a pronounced type persisting far into neolithic times.

14 They appear to be usually mesaticephalic, but to have a very marked tendency to brachycephaly.

15 These issues can lead to chewing problems and infections in many brachycephalic breeds.

16 Cooling Features: Bulldogs are susceptible to overheating due to their brachycephalic (short-nosed) structure.

17 The skull form shows a more extreme brachycephaly, with an index of 84 or 85, and exhibits none of the rugged features associated with the true Round Barrow type.

18 One of these developed in an extreme degree the characteristic features of the race—the brachycephaly, the prominence of the nose and the high-ramus of the jaw.

19 Simple brachycephaly is due to early synostosis of the nasal and sphenoid.
