Abstract

Nowadays in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, the number of patients have common symptoms with COVID-19 infection rapidly increased. 123 patients which they had common symptoms with COVID-19 and 94 healthy control individuals (non-COVID-19) were subjected for quantitative analysis for each one of the following biochemical parameters, Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), Creatine Phosphokinase (CPK), and C-reactive protein (CRP) in Erbil, Kurdistan Region of Iraq. We analyze clinical features and compared the differences between COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 symptoms. Among the healthy control individuals, the absolute value of LDH, CPK Creatine Kinase and CRP were determined in between the normal range, and in compare with patients with COVID-19 symptoms their values were smaller and, the P value was (P <0.05). All three biochemical parameters increased among patients with COVID-19 symptoms, but more significantly, steadily increase was observed only in LDH value in age above and under 40 years (284.43±10.29 and 321.23±16.32 U/L), and p-value was (0.0488). Male patients had higher levels of LDH (299.32±11.42 U/L), CPK Creatine Kinase (195.90±26.65 mg/L), and C-Reactive Protein (5.86±3.96 mg/L) in compared with the female patients. Our study suggested that among patients who have COVID 19 symptoms, increased LDH is the advised and helpful biochemical marker among routine panel for COVID-19 infection evaluation. Also, CRP levels were positively correlated with male patients when compared with the healthy control.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (D.M.) is a chronic metabolic disorder that has increased worldwide. Fingerprints and lip prints are noninvasive procedures that are genetically used in criminal cases and to determine genetic disorders such as Diabetes mellitus type 2. Dermatoglyphics is the epidermal ridge configuration, the ridged skin on our fingertips, palms, and toes. There are three types (Whorl, et al.). Cheiloscopy, derived from the Greek word (cheilos), which means lip, is the study of crinkles and grooves that are perceptible on our lips and unique. We conducted our research with 90 females, 45 were with (DMT2), and 45 were normal females over 30 years old. The samples were collected in different Kurdistan regions (Erbil City, Qaladza Town, Koya Town, and Koya University). We collected all 10 (ten) fingerprint patterns and divided them into Whorl, loop, and arch using an ink pad. Also, lip samples were collected by using lipstick on A4 paper. According to our research, the predominant fingerprints and lip prints in females with type 2 diabetes were loops for both hands (right (31.1%) and left (28.4%)), and for lips, the print was intersected grooves (28.9%). The predominant fingerprint and lip print for normal females were also loops in both hands (right (28%) and left (25%)), and the lip print was complete vertical grooves (42.2%). The study showed no association between fingerprint pattern and diabetes mellitus type 2 and cannot be used as a biomarker for it. However, there is a clear association between lip print pattern and diabetes mellitus type 2, and it can be used as a specific biomarker.

Abstract

Lip prints, also known as cheiloscopy, are designs created by the positioning of creases and lines around the red edge of a person’s lip. In forensic science, lip prints can be used for identification just like fingerprints. Blood is categorized into blood groups, sometimes called blood types, according to whether or not specific antigens are present on the surface of red blood cells. The aim of this project was to discover the correlation between lip prints and blood groups. A study involving 334 volunteers aged 18-25, collected at Koya University, used standard blood typing methods to determine their blood groups. Our results discovered a correlation between lip prints and blood groups in females; there is a correlation, but in males, there is not a correlation. The research indicates a correlation between blood groups and lip print patterns, suggesting that lip print traits may be linked to blood groups in females.
