Abstract

Background: Many researchers have conducted studies oflip prints to aid in human identification. Thedistinctiveness of the lip print pattern will be a distinguishing feature from one person to the next.Purpose: This study analyzes the dominant types and patterns of lips print in males and females.Results: Most males--7 research out of 20--were type III lip print pattern, and 6 out of 20 belong to the type II lipprint pattern. Femalesmainly were typed II pattern—11 out of 20, and type I pattern—7 out of 20.Conclusion: When the patterns are type I or type III, the sex of the individual can be easily identified; however,when the pattern is type II, the individual could be either a male or a female, with a higher probability of being afemale. Other forms of identification should be available to support sex identification in this circumstance.

Abstract

The concentrations (64, 128, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1, 0.5, 0.25 and 0.125) mg/ml were used to calculate the lowestinhibitory concentration of antibiotics for Candida yeast by microdilution method. The antibiotics fluconazoleand itraconazole were used to complete this experiment, which is based on the results of testing the API Candidasystem by demonstrating the resistance of yeasts using several mechanisms, which serve to phenotype eachorganism selected in the framework. In this test, it was found that there is resistance to the antibiotics itraconazoleand fluconazole in the types of yeasts under experiment. The toxin-producing yeasts extracted from yeasts showedthat the toxin-producing yeast species were only 27 out of 30 samples of yeast, despite the growth efficiency of allsamples. While 30 samples of yeast isolated from patients’ sputum, it was found that all samples under the currentstudy contain different amounts of acetaldehyde toxins with different concentrations.

Abstract

Background and Aims: Screening patients for coronary arterial disease can be through risk stratification using theFramingham Risk Score (FRS). Direct visualization of subclinical atherosclerotic lesions through coronary arterycalcium scores (CACS) can be an additional strategy. Therefore, we want to know the relationship between FRSand CACS in asymptomatic individuals.Method: A cross-sectional study involving 110 asymptomatic participants who undergoing health screening wasconducted in the National Hospital, Surabaya from November 2015 until January 2016. Risk stratification wasevaluated using Hard Coronary Heart Disease (10-year risk) outcomes model score and the Agatston–Janowitz’scoronary calcium score.Results: A significant positive correlation was observed between CACS and FRS (Spearman’s correlation coefficientr=0.51, P<0.0001). Age and systolic blood pressure were also positively correlated with CACS. Total cholesterolwas the only parameter that showed a negative correlation with CACS. No difference in CACS value was shownin gender and smoking status.Conclusion: There was a strong correlation between FRS and CACS in asymptomatic individuals.

Abstract

A Cross sectional study on correlation of length of hand in relation to the height of an individual was conductedin medical students of Telangana region in the age group of 18 to 25yrs during the period of January 2018 toDecember 2019. A total of 150 individuals among 75 males and 75 females were taken as participants in this study.Measurement of the Body part hand length has taken as distance between the proximal wrist creases to the tip ofmiddle finger, measured by using vernier calipers. The data was statistically analyzed by using SPSS (version-25)software.The formula for linear regression for estimating the height is y = a + (b x), y = dependent variable (height). a= constant. b = independent variable coefficient. x = independent variable i.e. length of the Hand. The linearregression formula for Right hand is y = 41.25 + (6.89 x) and left hand is y = 43.9 + (6.71 x). In case of maleindividuals the formula for Right hand is y = 68.77 + (5.47 x) and for left hand is y = 63.69 + (5.70 x). In caseof female individuals the formula for Right hand is y = 59.51 + (5.72 x) and for left hand is y = 63.63 + (5.48 x),standard error was 0.3, R square of 0.7 and confidence interval was 6.17 – 7.60, the data results show the statisticalsignificance the P Value less than 0.001.Calculated stature from the equation Y=a + (b x), is close to the actual height, only ± 5cm difference was observedin most of the individuals. Height of an individual is approximately 9 times the height of the hand length. Aseparate linear regression formula for male and female is more accurate and reliable.
