Abstract

The review aimed to understand and explain the association between some major endocrine conditions and COVID-19. Since March 2019, COVID-19 has been identified as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) and has infected millions of individuals worldwide. According to the literature review, endocrine disorders include diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and thyroid. The development and progress of COVID-19 patients could be affected but not yet approved by all the studies. In diabetes mellitus, COVID-19 may affect cytokines and increase releases of IL-1, IL-6, and complications caused by diabetes. In obese patients, there was an increased risk of progressing to severe COVID-19. Because of the international spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, clinicians should pay special attention to obese patients who should be monitored closely with timely and aggressive care. COVID-19 pathophysiology and risk in a high incidence of hypertension has been found in patients with COVID-19 and can be studied in many kinds of studies, such as in China. However, hypertension is considered one of the most significant risk factors for COVID-19. In addition to the above data on associations between COVID-19 and endocrine disorders, data on thyroid function or thyroid disease in COVID-19 is not yet available and cannot be commonly reported.

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.
