Abstract:

Abstract This study was conducted in a furrow-irrigated corn field at the Southwest Research-Extension Center, Finney County, KS. Treatments were arranged in a RCBD with 4 replications. Plots were 4 rows, (10 ft) wide and 50 ft long, with a 4 row border of untreated corn on each side and a 10 ft alley at each end. The single application was made on 28 or 29 Jul, while the double corn borer treatments were made on 22 Jul and 1 Aug. The simulated chemigation applications of insecticides were made using 3 Delavan 100/140, % inch raindrop nozzles mounted on a high clearance sprayer at tassel height between rows. This system was calibrated to deliver the equivalent of 0.21 in irrigation on the 2 center rows (5730 gal/acre). The standard insecticide treatments were applied with a high clearance sprayer using a 10 ft boom with 3 nozzles directed at each row (1 nozzle directed at the top and one on each side of the row on 16-inch drop hoses directed towards the ear zone). The sprayer was calibrated to deliver 20 gal/acre at 2 mph and 40 psi. The granular applications were made with electric Gandy® boxes mounted on the high-clearance sprayer using a 7 inch bander directed over each row. Corn borer control was evaluated by dissecting 15 plants per plot between 23 and 30 Sep to determine the number of corn borer larvae and length of tunneling per plant. Grain yield was determined by machine harvesting the two center rows in each plot and correcting to 15.5% moisture.

Abstract:

There are few wearable sensors suitable for daily monitoring of wrist and finger movements for hand-related healthcare applications. Here, we describe the development and validation of a novel algorithm for magnetically counting hand movements. We implemented the algorithm on a wristband that senses magnetic field changes produced by movement of a magnetic ring worn on the finger (the “Manumeter”). The “HAND” (Hand Activity estimated by Nonlinear Detection) algorithm assigns a “HAND count” by thresholding the real-time change in magnetic field created by wrist and/or finger movement. We optimized thresholds to achieve a HAND count accuracy of ~85% without requiring subject-specific calibration. Then, we validated the algorithm in a dexterity-impaired population by showing that HAND counts strongly correlate with clinical assessments of upper extremity (UE) function after stroke. Finally, we used HAND counts to test a recent hypothesis in stroke rehabilitation that real-world UE hand use increases only for stroke survivors who achieve a threshold level of UE functional capability. For 29 stroke survivors, HAND counts measured at home did not increase until the participants’ Box and Blocks Test scores exceeded ~50% normal. These results show that a threshold-based magnetometry approach can non-obtrusively quantify hand movements without calibration and also verify a key concept of real-world hand use after stroke.

Abstract:

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 congenitally deaf child is also a mute because for normal speech to develop in a child, hearing sensation must be intact. Materials and methods: The study involved 100 congenital deaf and mute children of age groups ranging from 7 years to 20 years. Out of them 50 were males and 50 females. The following parameters were considered after collecting the prints : Digital patterns, digital counts, a-b ridge count (which is done by counting the ridges found at the intersect between point 'a'- the base of the index finger to point 'b' - the base of the middle finger), 'atd' (angle made by connecting the 'a', 't'and'd' triradii points on the palm and 'dat' angles (angle made by joining the 'd', 'a' and 't' triradii points on the palm). Results: The study revealed considerable decrease in mean TFRC(Total finger ridge count), AFRC(Absolute finger ridge count) and mean ridge count in both male and female deaf cases. The mean atd angle in both cases were increased. The mean (a-b) ridge counts were decreased in both male and female deaf cases. Qualitative analysis revealed increase in arches and decrease in whorls of all cases. Conclusion: The present study reveals the differences in the dermatoglyphic patterns in congenital deaf cases. The results of this study could be of great importance to clinicians with respect to genetical basis in the identification of the cases at early stages.

Abstract:

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 and biometric indices Methods: Finger dermatoglyphics data were obtained using the ink method among the Health Sciences Students of Osun State University, Osogbo, Nigeria. Finger pattern intensity, finger pattern distribution, and finger ridge counts were measured and compared. These were done by counting and classifying ridge patterns and pattern configuration of arches, loops, and whorls and counting their ridge densities. The subject’s height, weight, and colour of the pupil were measured and recorded, respectively Results: The ulnar loops and arches were the most predominant finger patter ns in females, while males showed significantly spiral whorls. The sex differences between these patterns were not statistically significant (P>0.05). Subjects with brown pupils demonstrated higher ulnar loop and elliptical whorl, while those with black pupils possessed significantly well-distributed arches, and were insignificant in pattern width and intensity. Body Mass Index (BMI) polymorphism showed the lowest pattern size (Finger Ridge Counts) demonstrated by significantly reduced total finger ridge count among the subjects with BMI range of 24-26 and predominance of the concentric whorl, radial loop, and arches. However, higher pattern size was observed in subjects with a higher BMI value 27-29 BMI range with corresponding ulanr and spiral whorl respectively. Conclusion: This study demonstrated the prevalent biometrics measure of finger dermatoglyphics traits, in relations to the biometrics distribution of pupillary colour and body mass index among the Health Sciences Students of Osun State University, Osogbo Nigeria

Abstract:

Introduction: Dermatoglyphics pattern is feature with which human takes birth. As a diagnostic aid, it is now well established in a number of diseases which have a strong hereditary basis. The aetiology of coronary heart diseases is believed to be multi-factorial with genetics playing an important role. Objective: The present study was designed to make an observation of the usefulness of dermatoglyphic pattern in serving as a predictor for myocardial infarction among Bangladeshi male who were non relative to each other. Place of study: The study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh, between October 2003 and February 2005. Method: Inking method was used for taking finger and palm prints. Dermatoglyphic prints of five fingers and palm of both hands of sixty individuals were collected. Of them dermatoglyphic prints of both hands of 30 myocardial infarction (MI) male patients non relative to each other were selected as patients and same of 30 normal male having no myocardial infarction and having no family history of MI were selected as control. The dermatoglyphics of each hand of the patients were compared with those of the controls for: a) frequencies of different finger ridge patterns of the five fingers; b) total finger ridge count (TFRC); c) a-b, b-c, and c-d ridge counts of each hand; d) a-t-d angle; e) frequency of palmar ridge pattern and f) frequencies of different palmar creases. Result: The results of the controls confirmed more or less to the ethnic trends of the normal Bangladeshi. In case of finger dermatoglyphics, the MI patients showed higher frequencies of whorl patterns but lower frequencies of ulnar loop, radial loop and arch patterns than the controls. The mean total finger ridge count of the MI patients was lower than that of the controls (p>0.05). In case of palmar dermatoglyphics a-b, c-d ridge counts was higher and b-c ridge counts was lower in the MI patients than in the controls. Mean a-t-d angle was wider in the MI patients than that of the controls. Palmar patterns and creases showed no significant difference except transitional crease of the right hand that was significantly lower in MI patients than controls. Conclusion: Result of this study may be used to standardize the dermatoglyphic pattern of Bangladeshi population and to identify person susceptible to MI.

Abstract:

Full blood count (FBC) analysis is a common investigation done in the emergency department (ED). The aim of this study was to determine the accuracy of bedside FBC analysis using capillary blood samples from a finger stab at point of care (POC) compared to a conventional venous blood sample analysis. A total of 314 consecutive patients presenting to the ED were recruited. After consenting, a sample of the patient’s venous (V) blood was obtained via venepuncture and sent to the haematology laboratory for analysis as standard practice. This was followed immediately by collection of a capillary (C) blood sample from a finger stab which was analysed at site using an automated FBC analyser at POC. Agreement between the paired samples for blood parameters including the total white cell count, hemoglobin, and platelet count was assessed by the statistical method of Bland and Altman using V sample as the gold standard. The results showed a statistically significant deviation between capillary and venous samples only for platelet counts (P<0.001) and haemoglobin (P<0.001). However, the magnitudes of this difference 7.3 × 109/L and 0.5 g/dL respectively, were not clinically significant. The study suggest that the analysis of capillary samples for FBC parameters is a reliable and acceptable alternative to conventional methods with the benefits of being a rapid, convenient, and minimally invasive technique.

Abstract:

Ochratoxin A (OTA) belongs to a group of mycotoxins which are a key threat to quality of cereals based foodstuff. Mycotoxins are toxic, carcinogenic, nephrotoxic, neurotoxic and immunotoxic secondary metabolites of certain molds occurring in crop produce and their products. OTA occurs naturally in majority of foodstuffs such as coffee, cereal grains and beverages. The aim of the study was to determine the levels of OTA in cereal grains sampled from various market outlets in Nairobi County, Kenya. The levels of OTA were determined from 27 samples of finger millet (Eleusine coracana), wheat (Triticum aestivum) and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) grains. The levels of OTA in grains was determined by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The results indicated that wheat grains recorded the highest contamination (2.1478±0.3061 ng/g) followed by sorghum (1.0311±0.0635 ng/g), while finger millet recorded the lowest levels (0.6918±0.0315 ng/g). Cereal samples from Gikomba outlet had a higher contamination (1.1750±0.0353 - 3.8147±0.4317 µg kg-1) than those from Githurai outlet (0.1244±0.0795 - 0.4808±0.0321 µg kg-1). OTA levels in samples from Nyamakima outlet were below the detection limit of HPLC (0.03 µg/L). Though levels are lower than maximum allowable limits for OTA in cereals in the European Union (5 µg/kg) and United Kingdom (10 µg/kg), chronic exposure can have serious health risk. The study provides baseline data on the levels of OTA in finger millet, sorghum and wheat grains retailed in Nairobi County, Kenya. The information creates awareness on the potential health risk associated with chronic exposure to OTA from cereals.

Abstract:

Finger millet yields in farmers’ fields are low primarily due to low soil fertility and poor weed management. Fertilizer application could be one of the key strategies used to address the problem. However, due to high cost of fertilizer, its utilization has been limited to very few farmers in the country. Consequently, a study was conducted in Kuju sub-county, Amuria district in Eastern Uganda during 2016 long and short rains to determine the effect of micro dosing and weeding time on finger millet performance and weed growth. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design in a split plot treatment structure. Weeding times constituted the main plot [weeding at 20 DAS (days after sowing), 30 DAS, 45 DAS, and 20 & 45 DAS (double weeding)], while fertilizer rates (N 16.6 kg ha-1 + P2O5 10.6 kg ha-1; P2O5 10.6 kg ha-1; N 16.6 kg ha-1; N0 + P0, and N 83 kg ha-1 + P2O5 52 kg ha-1) constituted the sub plots. Results of this study revealed that the interaction between weeding at 45 DAS and fertilizer micro-dosing significantly (P < 0.05) reduced weed biomass (7.7 × 10-4 kg ha-1) without significant increase in finger-millet grain yield. Interaction of fertilizer micro-dosing (N 16.6 kg ha-1 + P2O5 10.6 kg ha-1) with weeding once at 20 DAS recorded the highest (2292 kg ha-1) finger millet grain yield with significant (P < 0.05) reduction in days to finger millet flowering. Therefore, it is recommended that fertilizer micro-dosing at N 16.6 kg ha-1 + P2O5 10.6 kg ha-1 and weeding once at 20 DAS can be used to control weeds and enhance finger-millet productivity.

Abstract:

AbstractA multivariate procedure for estimating heritable components from twin data was applied to ridge counts obtained from the entire dermatoglyphic system. Covariance matrices of MZ and DZ within-pair differences were used to estimate genetic correlation matrices for 20 finger ridge counts, 6 palmar interdigital counts, 20 toe counts, 4 hallucal counts, and 6 sole interdigital counts. The proportion of genetic variation was found to be greater in ridge counts of patterns than in ridge counts of interdigital areas. On digits, finger counts are more highly heritable than toe counts. Each of the dermatoglyphic areas yielded several independent genetic components, ranging from general to specific. Environmental variation was found to be local and to frequently involve reciprocal interaction between twin pairs.

Abstract:

Previously, porridge has been cereal based, consumed as a beverage or weaning food. Malnutrition among children has necessitated inclusion of legumes and roots in an effort to boost nutrient density. Therefore, the current study aimed at identifying the most acceptable porridge based on different food ingredient combination. Composite porridge flour included legumes (soybean, groundnut, and lablab), cereals (finger millet, sorghum, maize, and wheat), pseudocereals (pumpkin seed, buckwheat, and amaranth seed), and roots (cassava and arrowroot). New composite porridge flours were formulated using Nutrisurvey linear programming software. Different composite flours formulated to target either school-going children or a family setup were subjected to sensory analysis and the consumer preference test. Eight new formulations were developed. Buckwheat, wheat, and arrowroot were eliminated, maize and lablab content (%) were reduced, and cassava and finger were increased in the new formulations. A total of 149 participants composed of men (30.9%) and women (69.1%) aged between 11 and >60 yrs were interviewed. Newly formulated porridges were more preferred to the previous porridge formulations on color (40–54.2%), smell (40–52.4%), taste (41.5–47.5%), texture (58.3%), viscosity (35.4–45.8%), and overall acceptability (35–54.2%). The most cited reason for liking or disliking a particular porridge was taste (38.9%) and texture (32.2%), respectively. However, all the sensory attributes positively correlated with overall acceptability. Increased finger millet and cassava proportions in the newly formulated composite porridge flour highly influenced their high acceptability. Thus, consumer acceptability of new products is key for their adoption.

Abstract:

Abstract Background and aims: Dermatoglyphics has been studied extensively in chromosomal disorders and also in various diseases. Identical twins cannot be distinguished based on DNA. It is claimed that identical twins can be distinguished based on their finger prints, retina, and thermogram and iris patterns. It will be really interesting to know whether the identical twins have same dermatoglyphic patterns or not. Materials and Methods: 24 pairs of identical twins were examined for quantitative and qualitative similarities of finger print patterns; patterns on the palm, ‘atd’angle, ‘a-b’ridge count and palmar creases. Finger prints were evaluated for loop, arch, whorl and the data was recorded. Paired sample correlation test was applied to analyse ‘a-b’ridge count and ‘atd’ angle. Results: We have found that on comparison of finger tip patterns there are differences of about 33.33%. ‘a-b’ridge count in cases studied showed mean range from 38.23 to 38.37 on right and left hands respectively. This indicates there is close similarity in the ‘a-b’ridge count of identical twins, ‘atd’ angle showed close similarity in mean ranging from 46.23 to 46.10 on right and left hand respectively. Conclusion: Finger tip patterns is superior parameter to differentiate Identical twins compared to ‘a-b’ridge count and ‘atd’ angle.

Chebet SJ, Nawiri M, Murungi J. 2018. Assessment of the rates of thiocyanate in treated and untreated red and brown finger millet (Eleusine coracana) cultivated in Mogotio Area, Baringo County, Kenya. Trop Drylands 2: 28-34. Finger millet (Eleusine coracana) is a significant African primary diet plant in the tropics. The plant has a content of cyanogenic glycosides which can be easily altered to thiocyanate by glycosidases and sulfur transferase enzymes found in the plant or in the animal tissues. Thiocyanate impedes the absorption of iodine by the iodide pump of the thyroid gland which is then acted as a goitrogen. This goitrogen gives pressure on thyroid function causing goiter. People of Mogotio usually cultivated the red and brown varieties of finger millet. Therefore, to ascertain the rate of thiocyanate in treated and untreated finger millet in the region to collect information that will be used to address goiter was significant. The rates of thiocyanate were examined from the finger millet in the form of desiccated, germinated or immersed beans, or in the form of fresh, fermented or cooked flour. The green and desiccated leaves of the plant were also examined for thiocyanate. Samples of the red and brown varieties of finger millet were arbitrarily picked out from the cultivators in the area. Thiocyanate content was examined utilizing UV-VIS spectrophotometric detection. ANOVA and independent T-test were utilized to analyzed data. SNK test was utilized to do the separation of means. The rates of thiocyanate content in the red finger millet were between 43.48±1.56 to 4.28±0.5 mg/kg with the highest rates was in fresh desiccated beans followed by germinated ones and the lowest rates was in cooked flour. While in the brown finger millet, it was between 53.30±0.78 to 4.96±0.40 mg/kg with the highest rates was in germinated beans and the lowest rates were in cooked flour. Green leaves hold 31.69±0.71 mg/kg while the desiccated ones hold 8.80±0.14 mg/kg. The results showed significant dissimilarities between the rates in the beans and that of in the flour (p< 0.001). They also showed that the thiocyanate content in finger millet samples was within the recommended rates (100 mg/kg), but the frequency of intake may still give a risk on health. Therefore, it is suggested to encourage the cooking of finger millet before processing as this decreases thiocyanate rates.

Abstract:

The Wood County (Ohio) Historical Center and Museum has struggled with how to treat a controversial artifact a long time in its possession: a set of severed human fingers in a jar. Collected from a murder scene in 1881, “The Fingers in the Jar” have become a popular piece of the museum’s collection but for problematic reasons. This article traces the artifact’s life from creation to lurid objectification and proposes a new interpretation that recognizes its profound moral value. Such provocative exhibits can generate critical moral reflection and thus the museum is exploring ways to present these controversial human remains despite ethical concerns. Displaying them in a humanizing, pedagogically sound way fits squarely within the museum’s updated mission to promote social justice. The museum can offer a pathway toward public education on domestic homicide in all its brutality, historically and today.

Abstract:

Even though mathematics is considered one of the most abstract domains of human cognition, recent work on embodiment of mathematics has shown that we make sense of mathematical concepts by using insights and skills acquired through bodily activity. Fingers play a significant role in many of these bodily interactions. Finger-based interactions provide the preliminary access to foundational mathematical constructs, such as one-to-one correspondence and whole-part relations in early development. In addition, children across cultures use their fingers to count and do simple arithmetic. There is also some evidence for an association between children’s ability to individuate fingers (finger gnosis) and mathematics ability. Paralleling these behavioral findings, there is accumulating evidence for overlapping neural correlates and functional associations between fingers and number processing. In this paper, we synthesize mathematics education and neurocognitive research on the relevance of fingers for early mathematics development. We delve into issues such as how the early multimodal (tactile, motor, visuospatial) experiences with fingers might be the gateway for later numerical skills, how finger gnosis, finger counting habits, and numerical abilities are associated at the behavioral and neural levels, and implications for mathematics education. We argue that, taken together, the two bodies of research can better inform how different finger skills support the development of numerical competencies, and we provide a road map for future interdisciplinary research that can yield to development of diagnostic tools and interventions for preschool and primary grade classrooms.

Abstract:

When you begin to consider the Finns of New York State, there are two obvious foci that have received the majority of attention in the ethnic literature. The presence of some estimated 20,000 Finns in New York City during the 1920s provided a large population with its myriad cultural, religious and social organizations and activities. The heyday of the large Finnish population has passed, and as of 2000, a total of 3,466 Finns lived in New York City.1 This number remains the highest population within the state. Due to this large population size, much has been written about their existence, for example, in Brooklyn and Manhattan.2 A second significant concentration of Finns within the state has always been the Finger Lakes region in western New York State. Here, in cities and towns such as Van Etten, Spencer, Millport, and Ithaca, activities and organizations have existed for decades and have also received academic interest.3

Abstract:

Objective:This study investigated the association between clinically assessed finger joint involvement (joint counts) and patient outcome measures in hand osteoarthritis (HOA).Methods:Women with HOA (n = 190) (between 50 and 70 years of age, mean 61.6 years) completed a clinical examination, which included assessment of finger joints (carpometacarpal (CMC) joints, metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints, proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints and distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints) with regard to tenderness/pain, soft tissue swelling, bony enlargement and limited motion, measurement of grip strength and completion of a booklet with questionnaires (Australian/Canadian Osteoarthritis Hand Index (AUSCAN), Arthritis Impact Measurement Scales 2 (AIMS2), Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), Short Form 36 assessment (SF-36) and visual analogue scale for pain (VAS pain)).Results:DIP joints were most frequently affected. Presence of pain in any PIP or DIP finger joint was associated with worse health status. The three other categories of joint findings were generally also associated to worse health status, but associations were mostly not statistically significant. Correlations between tender and swollen joint counts in most finger joint areas and scores of specific outcome measures (AUSCAN, AIMS2 hand + finger), VAS pain and grip strength were mild to moderate, whereas correlations between joint counts and scores of general physical function, general pain and other dimensions of health (AIMS2 and SF-36) were generally low.Conclusions:The association between painful CMC, PIP and DIP joint counts and worse scores for key dimensions of health was moderate.

Abstract:

Objective CD4+ T lymphocyte count remains the most common biomarker of immune status and disease progression in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive individuals. VISITECT®CD4 is an instrument-free, low-cost point-of-care CD4 test with a cut-off of 350 CD4 cells/μL. This study aimed to evaluate VISITECT®CD4 test's diagnostic accuracy. Methods Two hundred HIV-positive patients attending a tertiary HIV centre in South India were recruited. Patients provided venous blood for reference and VISITECT®CD4 tests. An additional finger-prick blood sample was obtained for VISITECT®CD4. VISITECT®CD4's diagnostic performance in identifying individuals with CD4 counts ≤350 cells/μL was assessed by calculating sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) taking flow cytometry as the reference. Results The overall agreement between VISITECT®CD4 and flow cytometry was 89.5% using venous blood and 81.5% using finger-prick blood. VISITECT®CD4 showed better performance using venous blood [sensitivity: 96.6% (95% confidence interval: 92.1%–98.9%), specificity: 70.9% (57.1%–82.4%), PPV: 89.7% (83.9%–94.0%) and NPV: 88.6% (75.4%–96.2%)] than using finger-prick blood [sensitivity: 84.8% (77.9%–90.2%), specificity: 72.7% (59.0%–83.9%), PPV: 89.1% (82.7%–93.8%) and NPV: 64.5% (51.3%–76.3%)]. Conclusion VISITECT®CD4 performed well using venous blood, demonstrating its potential utility in decentralization of CD4 testing services in resource-constrained settings.

Abstract:

David Phillips was born on 7 March 1924 in Ellesmere, Shropshire, a small country town with a population then of 2000, on the border between England and Wales. His father, Charles Harry Phillips, was a Master Tailor and a Wesleyan Methodist local preacher. His mother, Edith Harriet Phillips (née Finney), was a London-trained midwife, the organist at Ellesmere Methodist Church and a member of the Ellesmere Urban District Council. She was the daughter of Samuel Finney, who was one-time secretary of the Midland Miners' Federation, a Member of Parliament 1916-22, and also a Primitive Methodist local preacher. David's unusual middle name is the maiden surname of his mother's great-grandmother and it was a reminder that the family was supposed to be related to the Pilgrim Father James Chilton, who sailed on the Mayflower. David was known as Chilton Phillips in Ellesmere. There was one sister who was four years older than David. She left home at fourteen to train as a child nurse, later became a telephonist and married. Tragically, she died in 1942 from diabetes.

Abstract:

Introduction:Infertility resulting in men has evoked considerable medical and social interest. The dermatoglyphic study has been proven to be a useful diagnostic tool for different diseases. It is easy due to its cost-effectiveness and non-invasive procedure. Multiple aetiological factors are responsible for azoospermia and oligozoospermia. This study was done to know thedermatoglyphic patterns among male patients suffering from azoospermia and oligozoospermia and compare the findings with the general population. Methods:Total seventy-six cases suffering from azoospermia and oligozoospermia were taken with an equal number of individuals in the control group. The fingerprint patterns and ridge counts were compared with healthy age-matched control subjects. The fingerprint patterns were collected by standard ink method. The data was collected and subjected to Chi-square and analysis of variance at a 95 % confidence interval. Results:The overall frequency was loop was higher, followed by whorls and arches in men with azoospermia and oligozoospermia. It was observed that comparing the fingertip ridge patterns and their frequencies were significant (p<.05) inazoospermia and oligozoospermia as compared to controls.The increase in the total number of arches wasobserved in men with oligozoospermia as compared with respect to the control group. Thedifferencesin cases and control groups with respect to parameters such as Total finger ridge count (TFRC)as well as Absolute finger ridge count (AFRC) were found statistically insignificant. Conclusions:There is a substantial correlation between fingerprint patterns of men withazoospermia and oligozoospermiamales attending the In Vitro fertilisation Centre. These correlations may have an essential role in the early diagnosis of reproductive dysfunction in the future.

Abstract:

Introduction/Aim. Dermatoglyphics is a science that examines dermal patterns on volar side of both palms and soles. Since dermatoglyphs are unique for each person, by examining them a number of parameters can be determined. These parameters could help to diagnose and treat examined individulas. The aim of this study was to determine possible differences of the dermathoglyphic characteristics of digito-palmar complex (DPC) comparing the autistic boys with the healthy examinees. Methods. This study was conducted on a group of 182 boys with infantile autism, aged from 5 to 15 (average age 7.2 years) while the control group consisted of 182 healthy men from 30 to 50 years (average age 38.7 years). Within the digital scope of DPC we examined tree types of dermatoglyphic patterns on fingertips (arch, loop and whrol), as well as dermal ridge count on each finger separately (FRC - finger ridge count) and total dermal ridge count on all the ten fingers (TRC - total ridge count). Within the palmar DPC area we measured the angles between the triradius (atd, dat, adt, atb, btc, ctd), as well as dermal ridge count (RC - ridge count) between the triradius a-b, b-c and c-d. Results. The autistic boys had a significantely higher count of arches (9.17%) on fingertips of both hands when compared to the control group of examinees (4.34%), and the lower count of loops (28.40%) compared with the control group (32.42%). A higher count of arches was especially expressed on the fourth and fifth finger of both hands. Beside this characteristic, the autistic boys had a lower TRC and ab-RC as well as a wider atd angle. Conclusion. Dermatoglyphic analysis could help in diagnosing autism but only as an additional method, never as a dominant diagnostic procedure.

In March 1835 Charles Finney told a gathering in New York City: “If the church will do all her duty, the millennium may come in this country in three years.” This statement has often served as an epigram for the era, the motto of that movement for revivalism and social reform that, having already swept the churches, was to so infuse the culture with its moral imperatives as to make a Civil War against slavery inevitable and the hegemony of evangelical Protestantism secure. On this reading Finney's declaration marks the midpoint in a story of triumph—triumph for revival religion, and triumph for a nation that aspired to righteousness.

Abstract:

This study aimed to evaluate the influences of different flooring designs and feed particle sizes on the spread of Salmonella (S.) in broiler chickens. Birds (n = 480) were allocated to four different housing systems (fully littered with and without floor heating, partially and fully slatted flooring with sand bath) and two dietary treatments (finely and coarsely ground diets) in 24 boxes. Two broilers per box were experimentally infected with S. Enteritidis (8.00 log10 CFU/bird) at d 17. Salmonella prevalence in caecal contents and the liver was highest in broilers housed on fully slatted floor until d 36/37 (88.1% and 91.5%, respectively), and lowest in litter flooring (caecal content 64.4%) and litter flooring with floor heating (liver 61.7%). In turn, broilers on littered flooring expressed the lowest Salmonella counts in caecal content at d 36/37 (2.21 ± 1.75 log10 CFU/g), partial slatted flooring the highest (3.76 ± 1.46 log10 CFU/g). The mean Salmonella count in the caecal content was significantly lower for birds fed a coarsely ground diet (0.96 and 1.94 log10 CFU/g) than a finely ground diet (5.07 and 3.34 log10 CFU/g) at d 23 and d 36/37, respectively (p < 0.0001). Slatted flooring with a sand bath did not show advantages in terms of Salmonella reduction, whereas the coarsely ground diet markedly reduced the spread of Salmonella.

Abstract:

One of the more interesting aspects of politics in the People's Republic of China during the 1990s was the attempt by many provincial leaders to create a specifically provincial discourse of development that entailed the reformulation of provincial identity. Both inside and outside the People's Republic of China, provincialism has often been held to challenge the unity of the Chinese state. However, an examination of the provincial discourse of development in Shanxi during the 1990s suggests that provincial and indeed more local identity politics are more complex and finely nuanced than might at first seem to be the case. Shanxi's new provincial identity was neither exclusive nor opposed to other identities, but one of a series of multiple and overlapping identities, structured within a hierarchy of place and identity that reached down to and interacted with the more local levels of county and village, as well as up to the national level. At the same time it is clear that the appeal to localism has started to influence the ways in which provincial leaders participate in national politics. Moreover, there is some indication that the emphasis on localism may have resulted in the county and the town or city becoming more significant locales for identity formation than the province, though the consequences of this for provincial and local politics remain unclear.

Abstract:

AbstractObjective:To compare liquid soap versus 4% chlorhexidine gluconate in 4% alcohol for the decontamination of bare or gloved hands inoculated with an epidemic strain ofClostridium difficile.Design:C difficile(6.7 log10colony-forming units [CFU], 47% spores), was seeded onto bare or latex gloved hands of ten volunteers and allowed to dry. Half the volunteers initially washed with soap and half with chlorhexidine, followed by the other agent 1 week later. Cultures were done with Rodac plates at three sites on the hand: finger/thumbtips, the palmar surfaces of the fingers, and the palm. Statistical comparison was by paired Student’sttest.Results:On bare hands, soap and chlorhexidine did not differ in residual bacterial counts on the finger/thumbtips (log10CFU, 2.0 and 2.1, P= NS) and fingers (log10CFU, 2.4 and 2.5,P=NS). Counts were too high on bare palms to quantitate. On gloved hands, soap was more effective than chlorhexidine on fingers (log10CFU 1.3 and 1.7, P<.01) and palms (log10CFU 1.5 and 2.0, P<.01), but not finger/thumbtips (log10CFU 1.6 with each, P=NS). ResidualC difficilecounts were lower on gloved hands than bare hands (P<0.01 to <0.0001).Conclusions:The two agents did not differ significantly in residual counts of Cdifficileon bare hands, but on gloved hands residual counts were lower following soap wash than following chlorhexidine wash. These observations support the use of either soap or chlorhexidine as a handwash for removal ofC difficile,but efficacy in the prevention ofC difficiletransmission must be determined by prospective clinical trials.
