Abstract:

Introduction: Estimation of stature for the purpose of identification has a significant forensic importance. This technique is based on a principle that bones or human body parts correlate positively with the stature. Stature can be estimated from measurements of various body parts such as arm, leg, feet, finger, facial height, nasal height etc. The aim of study was to correlate Stature of Nepalese with Nasal height and estimate Stature from Nasal height.Methods: A cross-sectional study of 214 healthy adults comprising 110 males and 104 females in the age group of 25 to 35 years were carried o

Abstract:

Height is a polygenic trait with a high degree of heritability. Most (95%) children with short stature (defined as height below the third percentile) and poor growth (growth velocity <5 cm/year) do not have an endocrine disorder. The genetic basis for stature potential has been evaluated in recent years and is increasingly being recognized as a major basis for variation in height between different ethnic populations. Numerous genome-wide association studies have identified hundreds of loci linked to human growth. Apart from the genetic factors, various environmental, nutritional, hormonal,

Abstract:

Stature has been one the most important factors in the description of the individual characteri-stics for a long time. The aim of this study was to estimate stature using percutaneous humeral length in school children aged 5-12 years from Kazaure emirate. It was a cross-sectional study. All measurements were taken from 863 (432 males and 431 females) primary school pupils aged 5-12 years. The height and humeral length of the participants were measured. Results showed a sexual dimorphism in height where males had higher mean value for height than females (p=0.041). In the general population, ri

<strong>Introduction</strong>: For the medico legal experts to identify a body, stature is an important component. Various parameters such as age, sex, ethnicity, stature etc. are used for personal identification. Among these, stature estimation is an essential parameter of medicolegal investigations, once a body is disfigured or dismembered. The stature prediction occupies relatively a central position in the identification necessitated by the medico-legal experts. At times Forensic experts may come across cases like skeletal remains, body parts remains in accidents, murders, natural disaster

Background: Short stature that results from undernourishment during perinatal period is associated with an increased risk of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases in adulthood, particularly in poor populations. The present study investigated changes on anthropometric and metabolic parameters of socially vulnerable women with short stature. Methods: A prospective study with 48 women (19-45 years) who were mothers of undernourished children was conducted. Twenty-five of them were short (height ≤150 cm), and 23 were not short, to serve as a control (height >159 cm). Biochemical, anthropometric

Stature is one of the most important elements in the identification of a person. Many different anthropometric dimensions can be used in the estimation of stature. Establishing the identity of an individual from body fragments has become an important necessity in recent times due to natural and man-made disasters. This study was performed on 226 Gurung soldiers of Gorkha regiment of Indian Army. The studied soldier’s age range was 18 years - 48 years.

Abstract:

Introduction and Aim: Stature is the primary tool in personal identification for forensic and physical anthropology for over a period. In the absence of full skeleton, the stature can be estimated from various skeletal components. Utilizing cranium and dentition measurements is simpler as these structures are fixed, grown and straight forward to locate. Few researches had been undertaken to establish the efficacy of teeth dimensions in height assessment. But we could not come across any such studies on tooth length. So, the present research was conducted to estimate the stature from tooth leng

Abstract Background: Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia 2B (MEN2B) is characterized by medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) before the age of one, pheochromocytoma and several non-endocrine manifestations. Marfanoid habitus is considered to be an important related feature, leading to the assumption that children with MEN2B have a tall stature. However, very little is known about actual growth patterns in children with MEN2B and its implication for final height. Aim: To describe the growth patterns during childhood and adolescence and relate final height to target height (TH) in MEN2B patients. Methods:
