RESUMEN
Identification of an individual by estimation of stature has got medico-legal importance. In present study an attempt will be made to estimate the stature from percutaneous length of tibia. Study subject consists of 40 adult males and 40 adult females between the age group of 18- 30 years, born in Central India. Simple regression formula was derived showing the correlation between percutaneous length of tibia and stature of an individual.
RESUMEN
Stature is among the factors required to establish individuality of an unidentified dead body or any mutilated part of such body. In present study an attempt will be made to estimate the stature from percutaneous length of ulna. Study consists of 50 adult males and 50 adult females between the age group of 18- 30 years, born in Central India. On computing the data, significant positive correlation between the stature and percutaneous ulnar bone length will be assessed. Stature will be estimated from percutaneous length of ulna using simple regression analysis.
RESUMEN
Dermatoglyphics” is the study of epidermal ridge pattern on fingers, palm, and soles. Dermatoglyphics print remains ubiquitous throughout life and form themost reliable criteria of identification. In the present study an attempt has been made to study the fingerprint patterns in medical students of Indira Gandhi Government Medical College, Nagpur. Fingerprint patterns were studied in 140 students, 70 males and 70 females. Dermatoglyphic prints of the fingertips were taken using the inkmethod by “Cummins andMidlo”. Distribution of dermatoglyphic fingertip patterns were studied in both hands among males and females.
RESUMEN
Dermatoglyphics, the study of fingerprints are constant and individualistic. The ridge pattern depends upon cornified layer of epidermis as well as dermal papillae. This study was conducted to correlate between digital dermatoglyphics patterns in ABO, Rh blood groups and evaluates their significance. A total of 200 first year MBBS students with known blood groups from 2004 and 2005 batch of IGGMC, Nagpur were included in the study. Fingerprints were obtained by printing method. Parameters studied were arches, whorls, loops. It was concluded that, whorls were highest in B blood group and the difference was significant with O blood group. Loops were highest in O blood group and were significant with A, B, AB blood groups. Arches were highest in AB blood group and were statistically significant with B and O blood groups. Arches were higher in Rh negative blood group differing statistically with Rh positive blood group.
