The World Health Organization has acknowledged the gap in schizophrenia diagnoses and recommended further research to identify tools biomarkers for disease’s early detection. Because skin brain have a common ectodermal origin, dermatoglyphics are hypothesized serve as potential mirror identification of risks characteristics neuropsychiatric diseases. This study aimed determine digito-palmar der...

Objective: The present study is to document and provide information about both normal variable morphology of the deep palmar
 arch (DPA) in adult human cadavers by dissection method.
 Materials Methods: We examined 12 upper extremities (6 cadavers). After classification vascular patterns DPA and
 its branches, measurements vessel diameters were carried out using a digital compass...

keratoderma is a group of disorders characterized by abnormal thickening of skin. acquired palmar keratoderma has many underlying causes. the association of thyroid disease and palmar keratoderma rarely reported. hypothyroidism, although very rare association, must be suspected in patients with acquired ppk, particularly when it occurs in setting of systemic symptoms or predisposing conditions....

The vascular anatomy of the human hand is known to be of outstanding importance in medical, surgical and radiological sciences (Coleman and Anson, 1961; Kenesi et al., 1967; Braun et al., 1977), as well as in comparative anatomy and primatology (Manners-Smith, 1910; Sakka, 1972). The constitution, relationship and common abnormalities of both arterial palmar arches make their dissection difficu...
