Abstract

Intoduction: Determination of age in both living and dead plays a pivotal role in medicolegal cases.There are various parameters to assess the age by physical characteristics, odontological developmentbut the most valuable method seems to be the osteological changes observed by radiological examinationie., the appearance and fusion of secondary ossification centres around respective joints The presentstudy was conducted on 131 subjects out of which 110 were males and 21 were females. The main aimof the study was to find the age of fusion of secondary ossification centres around elbow and wrist joint,to compare the distribution of fusion of ossification centres between males and femalesMethods: Firstly informed consent was taken. Preliminary details of each individual was noted thatincluded general examination, physical examination, dental examination followed by taking X-ray APview of elbow and wrist joint for radiological examination. The results were noted based on the degreeof fusion as No Union (O), Beginning union(B), Recent union(R), Complete union(C).Results: The present study showed among males, the fusion for each ossification centre around elbowjoint started by 15-16 years and was completed by 18-19 years whereas in females it started fusion by15-16 years but complete fusion occurred around 16-17 years itself . In wrist joint the fusion starts at16-17 years in males but only fusion of lower end of ulna is completed by 18-19 years, however bothlower end of radius and ulna are fused by 18-19 years in females.Conclusion: Based on the analysis of fusion of ossification centres it shows that both thecentres aroundelbow and wrist joint fuses earlier in females by 1-2 years than males.

Abstract

Introduction : Lip prints are an adjuvant tool for identification in forensic medicine. The grooves onthe lips have discrete characteristics to make it different from one other. This study was conductedon 24 pairs of twins out of which 22 pairs were Monozygotic twins and 2 pairs were Dizygotictwins. Dizygotic twins are unique in all aspects while Monozygotic twins are similar phenotypicallyand genotypically. The objective of this study is to find the most common pattern in the twins , thecommonest pattern among the male and female twins and to know the variations in the pattern of lipprints among Monozygotic and Dizygotic twins.Materials and Methods: A lipstick, drawing chart and magnifying lens were the materials used torecord the imprints of the lips. A four compartment method with a clockwise direction approach wasused and the analysis was done based on Suzuki and Tsuchihashi classification.Results: The present study shows Type 1’ was the most common lip prints observed among the 24pairs of twins. This pattern was predominantly present in the right lower lip quadrant. Out of the studysubjects of 24 pairs of twins, 38 were males and 10 were females in which Type I ‘ is common in malesand type I is common in females. Among the monozygotic twins those which had < 50 % resemblancewere 14 pairs, 50% resemblance were 6 pairs, >50% resemblance were 2 pairs in which Type is thecommonest. Among the dizygotic twins, both the pairs were totally different from each other yet Typewas the common pattern.Conclusion: Based on the analysis of the lip print patterns among monozygotic twins, though similaritieswere prevailing between them , they are not identical .Whereas among dizygotic twins both the pairs oftwins are unique. Hence Lip print can be utilized as a differentiating tool for identification.

Abstract

Introduction: Fingerprints and Lip prints has its reliability for its uniqueness and can be used solelyas an aid in identification for civil and criminal cases. Hence a correlation between the fingerprints andlip prints can bring up a new approach or idea in the field of Forensic Medicine for solving medicolegalcases. The present study was conducted on 25 pairs of twins with the main objective to find any existingcorrelation between fingerprints and lip prints and to determine the most predominant finger print andlip print pattern among Twin A and Twin B individually.Materials and Methods: The study was done is subjects age ranging from 6-18 years. A proforma withsubject particulars and consent form was prepared. Lip prints were obtained in a drawing chart, themiddle part of the lower lip was analysed based on Suzuki and Tsuchihashi classification. Fingerprint ofleft thumb finger was obtained in a white paper and analysed based on Henry’s system of classification.Results: The present study showed that there was no significant correlation between the Lip prints andFingerprints in Twins with p value >0.001. Among twin A and twin B the most predominant Lip printpattern was Type I’ and the Fingerprint pattern was Loop pattern respectively.Conclusion: Lip prints and Fingerprints are two important parameters for an individual in identification.There are various studies till now in individuals but very few in twins. So, in this study we made anattempt to find the correlation between the parameters, whether they were existing or not and found thatthere was no significant correlation yet can be used as a separate tool. Hence it is essential to performfurther studies on a larger group and create a database for getting accurate results.
