Radioulnar contrasts (numerically: differences) between ridge counts of individual fingers the human hand have been identified as promising features in respect to prenatal signalling. In this study, we compared results a meta-analysis intersex differences radioulnar published mean values dermatoglyphic on (calculated from higher RC each finger) with obtained already calculated at level.Searchin...

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...

In 2 adult male patients with 49 chromosomes, an XXXXY sex chromosome constitution was confirmed by trypsin-Giemsa banding sites. Clinical findings as well as fingerprint ridge counts were typical of the syndrome. Primary hypogonadism was documented by finding low serum testosterone and raised serum LH and FSH levels. Several radiological abnormalities, not previously described in this syndrome...

Background: Finger dermatoglyphics has been useful in diagnosing genetically related diseases and detecting crimes. A cross-sectional study was carried out to establish the relationship between fingerprint traits biometric indices Methods: data were obtained using ink method among Health Sciences Students of Osun State University, Osogbo, Nigeria. pattern intensity, finger distribution, ridge c...

We examine the likelihoods of different cosmological models and cluster evolutionary histories by comparing semi-analytical predictions of X-ray cluster number counts with observational data from the ROSAT satellite. We model cluster abundance as a function of mass and redshift using a Press–Schechter distribution, and assume that the temperature TðM; zÞ and bolometric luminosity LXðM; zÞ scale...

We examine the likelihoods of different cosmological models and cluster evolutionary histories by comparing semi-analytical predictions of X-ray cluster number counts to observational data from the ROSAT satellite. We model cluster abundance as a function of mass and redshift using a Press-Schechter distribution, and assume the temperature T (M, z) and bolometric luminosity LX(M, z) scale as po...
