Dermatoglifia y fuerza muscular en deportistas de baloncesto universitario / Dermatoglyphics and muscle strength in college basketball players / Dermatoglifia e força muscular em atletas de basquete universitári

RESUMEN El baloncesto es un deporte que requiere capacidades físicas para su desenvolvimiento en cualquier nivel de competencia; la fuerza es uno de los parámetros a evaluar que más exactitud precisa y que puede ayudar a llevar al deportista a su máximo potencial, por esto el objetivo del estudio fue determinar la relación entre las variables dermatoglifia y fuerza muscular en las posiciones de juego del baloncesto universitario, teniendo en cuenta el perfil antropométrico, en jugadores (mujeres y hombres) entre los 17 y 23 años. La muestra fue con 15 atletas de la selección de baloncesto, donde se evaluaron variables dermatoglificas (metodología propuesta por Cummins & Midlo, 1942), medidas antropométricas (la báscula InBody 770 y tallímetro SECA), posición de juego de cada individuo y test de fuerza muscular (T-force, modelo TF-100). Se encontró que la variable de dermatoglifia que más correlación (alta y moderada) tuvo con la prueba de fuerza muscular fueron los Arcos y dentro de este se encontraban los Postes, quienes en esta posición de juego mostraron mayor relación (r= 0,525 p= 0,045). Se demostró que, puede encontrar un lazo entre dos variables como dermatoglifia y fuerza muscular, sin embargo, es importante contar con una muestra más amplia y discriminarla por género, para así tener mayor exactitud.

ABSTRACT Basketball is a sport that requires physical abilities for its development at any level of competition; strength is an evaluated parameter that is more accurate than others and that can help to take the athlete to their maximum potential. For this reason, the objective of this study is to determine the relationship between the dermatoglyphics and muscle strength variables in university basketball playing positions, taking into account the anthropometric profile, in players (women and men) between 17 and 23 years old. The sample consisted of 15 athletes from the basketball team, where dermatoglyphic variables (methodology proposed by Cummins & Midlo, 1942), anthropometric measurements (the InBody 770 scale and SECA height rod), playing position of each individual, and muscle strength test (T-force, model TF-100) were evaluated. The dermatoglyphics variable that had the most correlation (high and moderate) with the muscle strength test were the arches, and within these, were the posts, who, in this playing position, showed the greatest relationship (r = 0.525 p = 0.045). It was shown that you can find a link between two variables such as dermatoglyphics and muscle strength, however, it is important to have a larger sample and discriminate it by gender, in order to have a higher accuracy.

SUMÁRIO O basquete é um esporte que requer habilidades físicas para seu desenvolvimento em qualquer nível de competição; a força é um dos parâmetros a serem avaliados mais precisos e que podem ajudar a levar o atleta ao seu potencial máximo; por esse motivo, o do estudo foi determinar a relação entre as variáveis dermatoglíficas e a força muscular nas posições de jogo de basquete de universidade, considerando o perfil antropométrico, em jogadores (mulheres e homens) entre 17 e 23 anos de idade. A amostra foi composta por 15 atletas do time de basquete, onde variáveis dermatoglíficas (metodologia proposta por Cummins & Midlo, 1942), medidas antropométricas (escala InBody 770 e estadiômetro SECA), posição de jogo de cada indivíduo e teste de força muscular (força T, modelo TF-100). Para análise estatística, foi realizado no software SPSS versão 22, com tendência central (média e desvio padrão). Verificou-se que a variável dermatoglyphic que teve a maior correlação (alta e moderada) com o teste de força muscular foram os Arcos e dentro deste foram os posts, que nesta posição de jogo apresentaram a maior relação (r = 0,525 p = 0,045). Foi demonstrado que, se é possível encontrar um vínculo entre duas variáveis, como dermatoglifos e força muscular, é importante ter uma amostra maior e discriminá-la por sexo, a fim de obter maior precisão.

Digitopalmar Dermatoglyphic Patterns And Academic Achievement

Background: The present study aimed at determining the association between dermatoglyphic patterns andacademic achievement.Material and Methods: The study involved the evaluation of dermatoglyphic patterns of 200 participants [100individuals with second and/or tertiary degrees (HAA) and 100 with maximum of primary or secondary education(LAA)] selected by convenience sampling from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi,and University of Energy and Natural Resources, Sunyani after an informed consent and ethical approval. Handprints were analysed for fingerprint patterns (FPP), finger ridge count (FRC), total finger ridge count (TFRC), atdangle, number of Primary creases, Intersections of primary crease and Complete transverse crease (PIC) and PICsymmetry.Results: The study showed that individuals with symmetrical PIC patterns were likely to achieve higher inacademia compared with those with asymmetrical palm prints (p > 0.000). Participants with PIC patterns of 300,310 and 311 on the left hand were more likely to achieve lower academic status compared with other PICpatterns on the left hand (p > 0.05). There was an association between digitopalmar dermatoglyphic patterns andacademic achievement. PIC profiles of 100, 200, 210 and 211 were not observed in Higher Academic Achieverscompared to Lower Academic Achievers.Conclusion: The results confirm an association of digitopalmar dermatoglyphic patterns with academicachievement. Further work needs to be done on 201 PIC that is associated with learning difficulties but wasfound in 2 % HAA.

Palmar Dermatoglyphic Patterns in Bronchial Asthma between Afro-Trinidadian and Indo-Trinidadian: A Comparative Study.

Background: Dermatoglyphics, the ridged skin covering our palms and sole, are not only found on human beings. All primates have ridged skin, and it can also be found on the paws of certain mammals and on the tails of some monkey species. Palmar creases develop during the 2nd and 3rd month of intrauterine life and are not influenced by movement of hand in utero. They are of considerable clinical interest because they are affected by certain abnormalities of early development including genetic disorders. Aim: The present study is carried out to correlate the dermatoglyphic patterns in patients of bronchial asthma. Methods: Dermatoglyphic prints were obtained from both hands of 100 patients of bronchial asthma among Afro-Trinidadian and Indo-Trinidadian. Hundred normal healthy individuals, without family history of bronchial asthma, were selected as control group. The qualitative parameters like whorls, loops and arches were studied in the above mentioned study groups. Results: Presence of whorls loops and arches showed significant difference, p<0.01in III and IV digits in Afro-Trinidadian group and only in III digit in Indo-Trinidadian group when compared to the controls. The intergroup comparisons also showed significant changes in the percentage of all the finger print patterns in the II & III digit in Afro-Trinidadian bronchial asthma patient when compared with Indo-Trinidadian bronchial asthma patients. Conclusion: Presence of whorls, loops and arches on both the III digit can be used as one of the diagnostic criterion for patients with bronchial asthma.

As características dermatoglíficas de crianças e adolescentes talentosos do Instituto Rogério Steinberg do Rio de Janeiro - RJ / The dermatoglyphics characteristics of the talented children and adolescents of Institute Rogério Steinberg of Rio de Janeiro - RJ / Las características dermatoglíficas de niños y adolescentes talentosos del Instituto Rogério Steinberg de Rio de Janeiro - RJ

A identificação de pessoas talentosas é um dos pontos mais difíceis, além de ser mal desenvolvido no Brasil. O objetivo deste artigo foi identificar o perfil dermatoglífico de jovens considerados talentosos pelo Instituto Rogério Steinberg - RJ. O conhecimento do perfil de um grupo facilita o seu desenvolvimento, a descoberta de suas potencialidades e cria índices que norteiam a detecção de futuros talentos. No caso da amostra pesquisada, observou-se que essas crianças e adolescentes possuem um baixo percentual de desenhos tipo arco e altos níveis de deltas e de linhas nos dez dedos das mãos, características estas similares às encontradas em atletas de alto rendimento. Além disso, apresentaram o fenômeno de espelho entre as mãos, ou seja, uma similaridade nos desenhos digitais e na relação do número de linhas entre os dedos das mãos correspondentes quase perfeitas, como a hipótese sugerida neste estudo. Logo, isso nos leva a acreditar que a dermatoglifia pode ser uma ferramenta auxiliativa na identificação de indivíduos talentosos.

The identification of talented people is one of the most difficult and has been badly done in Brazil. The aim of this paper was to identify the dermatoglyphic profile of young talented considered by the Instituto Rogério Steinberg - RJ. In the case of the sample surveyed, was observed that these children and adolescents have a low percentage of arch type designs and high levels of deltas and lines in the ten fingers of the hands, characteristic similar to those found in high-performance athletes. Moreover, they presented a mirror relation between the hands, is a similarity in digital designs and the relationship of the number of lines between the fingers almost perfect matching, as found in high-performance athletes. Therefore, the dermatoglyphics may be more useful evaluative tool in the identification of talented individuals.

Investigation of Correlation between the Form Stigmata of Maximus Thenar Dermatoglyphic Patterns of Palm and Allergic Dermatitis / 中国中医药信息杂志

Objective To discuss the correlation of the form stigmata of maximus thenar dermatoglyphic patterns of palm and allergic dermatitis. Methods The allergic dermatitis patients were rardanly selected as observation group and normal person or non-suffering allergic dermatitis as control group. The maximus thenar dermatoglyphic patterns of palm were classified into three grades on the basis of its tend towards, distance, depth and character of cleavage lines, and the degree of moistening, dryness, softness, smoothness of surface skin, etc. Results There are 82 examples in observation group, grade Ⅰ is 11 examples, degree Ⅰ of grade Ⅱ is 17 examples, degree Ⅱ of grade Ⅱ is 31 examples, grade Ⅲ is 23 examples. There are 86 examples in control group, grade Ⅰ is 71 examples, degree Ⅰ of grade Ⅱ is 5 examples, degree Ⅱ of grade Ⅱ is 6 examples, grade Ⅲ is 4 examples. There is significant difference between the observation group and control group (P

Pattern of finger-prints in different ABO blood groups.

Finger print (dactylography / dermatoglyphic) is considered as the best tool of identification. This study was carried out in 2000-2001 on 300 students of different ABA blood groups of Medical College, Ajmer with two objectives, viz. (a) To study distribution of finger print pattern among the subjects having different ABO and Rh blood group and (b) Correlate any relation between their characters and blood groups. Male: female ratio was 2.4:1. Majority of the subjects (38.33%) in the study were of blood group A followed by blood group B, A and AB of whom 95.67% were Rh-positive. The general distribution of pattern of finger print showed high frequency (51.87%) of loops whereas whorls were moderate (35.83%) and arches were least (12.30%) in frequency. Almost same order was noticed in both Rh-positive and Rhnegative individuals or A, B, AB and O blood groups. Blood group A showed more loops (Rh +ve 54.26%, Rh -ve 60%) while, blood group AB had more whorls (Rh +ve 43.34%, Rh -ve60%). The study suggests an association between finger print pattern and blood group. The distribution of different pattern of finger prints in individual fingers also showed some peculiarities in relation to blood group. The total finger ridge count (TFRC) was significantly greater in blood group B.

A Study on Heritability of Pattern Intensity Index and Asymmetry of Digital Dermatoglyphic Pattern Frequency in Muslims of Assam.

The frequency distribution of digital dermatoglyphic patterns was studied in 50 muslim families from Lakshmipur district from Assam. The study revealed asymmetry in the distribution of various patterns on individual digits though bimannual differences were not present. The mean pattern intensify index was found to be 13.54 + 3.76 corresponding to the presence of more number of loops and whorls in the data. Heritability, as calculated from mid parent child regression was found to be 82% indicating the presence of stronger genetic component in the formation of dermatoglyphic patterns. There was significant inter-familial variance suggesting the presence of genetic and environmental factors. The higher values of intra-familial variance also indicate influence of polygenes with additive effects on dermatoglyphic patterns.

Fingertip Dermatoglyphic Patterns in Patients with Atopic Dermatitis and their Families / 대한피부과학회지

Although we made a comparision of fingertip dermatoglyphic patterns between R7 patients with atopic dermatitis(Femals: 54, Male: 35) and 73 their families without atopic dermatitis, no significant results were obtained. So, we compared secondly our results of 2 groups with those of two thousand nonatopic, normal Koreans, as control. Results are as follows: ] In comparison with control, a significant increase in the ulnar loop pattern was detected in families(p<0, ()5), not atopic dermatitis. p. No significant differ ence between right hands and left hands in all three g f OUpS. In atopic dermatitis and control groups, 1 st and 4 th digits showed mostly whorl pattern, and 3 rd and 5 th digits had more ulnar loop pattern than others. Rut families had mostly ulnar loop pattern at all digits except 4 th digit, wl..orl pattern. 4. Each of atopic dermatitis, family and control group had 13, 79% (whor1: 8. 05% ulnar loop: 5 75%), 15. 49p; (whorl: 4. 23%, ulnar loop: 11. 27%), 15. 78%(whorl: 8, 52% ulnar loop: 7. 1 %, arch: 0. 05%), of same dermatoglyphic pattern on all ten digits. Especially, ulnar loop pattern in fanilies was detected significantly higher than other two groups(p<0. 05). Average incidences of bilateral symmetry of pattern type between right and left digits were 78.57%, 74. 67% and 78.74% respectively in atopic dermatitis, family and control group.
