UNLABELLED Rapid diagnosis of malignancy during oncological surgery is crucial for making decisions related to the extension of the resection. The tissue prints, used initially for plant biology but also for prostate or breast cancer diagnosis, might be useful as a rapid cytological diagnosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Tissue prints were done from freshly sectioned excised tissue fragments in pat...

The aim of this study is to compare the pattern of sex differences between two different sets of dermatoglyphic traits (22 quantitative and 42 indices of diversity and asymmetry). Finger and palmar prints of Turkmenian population (547 individuals) were used for Multivariate analyses includes Cluster, Discriminant and Mantel test of matrix correlations. All variables (two groups) scattered into ...

Mass spectrometry imaging is employed for mapping proteins, lipids and metabolites in biological tissues in a morphological context. Although initially developed as a tool for biomarker discovery by imaging the distribution of protein/peptide in tissue sections, the high sensitivity and molecular specificity of this technique have enabled its application to biomolecules, other than proteins, ev...

Biometric systems are alternates to the traditional identification systems. This paper provides an overview of single feature and multiple features based biometric systems, including the performance of physiological characteristics (such as fingerprint, hand geometry, head recognition, iris, retina, face recognition, DNA recognition, palm prints, heartbeat, finger veins, palates etc) and behavi...

Background: Dermatoglyphics are the dermal ridge configurations on the digits, palms and soles. Dermatoglyphic polymorphism results from the co-operation of genetic and environmental factors. The Dermatoglyphic analysis is a valuable completion of initial diagnosis of some syndromes genetically determined. Our objective was to assess dermatoglyphics study results against standard chromosomal an...

Voice is the sound produced in a person's larynx and uttered through the mouth, as speech or song. Like finger prints and the iris of the eye the voice of each person is unique. The parameters of a person’s voice differ in pitch, timber and vocal intensity. Hence it can be authentication. In this paper feature extraction methods used are Linear Predictive Coding, Fast Fourier Transform and wave...

Recent advances on the properties of the mycoplasma genome, including size, base composition, replication, extrachromosomal DNA, and transfer of genetic material are briefly reviewed, with emphasis on their phylogenetic implications. The use of cleavage patterns of the mycoplasma genome by restriction endonucleases as "finger-prints" indicating genetic relatedness among strains is discussed. Th...

National Journal of Clinical Anatomy Abstract Background: Dermatoglyphics, the scientific study of the origin, development and variation of dermal ridges and patterns on the fingers, palms and soles have been employed to observe association with many congenital defects and genetic diseases. Congenital deafness refers to a hearing loss which is believed to have been present since birth. A congen...

Much of the history of eyeglasses has been gleaned from studies of paintings and prints that illustrate them. A few prints from the first century of printing include spectacles and are reproduced in this article. In addition to showing their form and method of use, these prints also illustrate their symbolic value.

Antibody to partially disrupted avian myeloblastosis virus was used to selectively precipitate newly synthesized intracellular viral polypeptides from extracts of infected chicken cells. When analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis, immune precipitates from extracts of cells pulse-labeled for 10 min with [(35)S]methionine contain none of the major virion polypeptides. Instead the...
