Background: No two people have exactly the same fingerprints. Even identical twins, with identical DNA, have different fingerprints. This uniqueness allows fingerprints to be used in all sort of ways, including background checks, biometric security, mass disaster identification, and of course, in criminal situations. This scientific examination of fingerprints for identification purposes is known as dactylography. Aim: To prove the uniqueness and study various pattern of fingerprint in an individual. Objectives: 1) To study pattern of fingerprints for identification of an individual, 2) To study different types of fingerprints and keep statistical data of loops, whorls, arches and compound/composite in a group of individual, and  3) To study different methods of fingerprinting in an individual. Methodology: The study was conducted among individuals under the age group of 25-40 years, including 50 males and 50 females. The study was conducted based on Henry Galton method. The fingerprints were taken by means of an ink pad on a blank sheet; a magnifying glass was used for clarity of the finger impressions. Result: There are 4 types of fingerprints namely loops-52.16%, whorls-34.99%, composite-10.04% and arches-2.81%. Conclusion: On this basis uniqueness of fingerprints was proved. Fingerprints are considered as secondary evidence in the court of law, even though it is used as a primary and the most basic source of identification of an individual. Also according to our study the percentage of types of fingerprints varied.

And Gender

A cross-sectional study of new clients with either gonorrhoea or chlamydia attending King's College Hospital in 1998. One thousand two hundred and thirty-nine women and 1141 men had gonorrhoea, chlamydia or both. Overall, 24.2% (124/512) of heterosexual men and 38.5% (136/353) of women with gonorrhoea also had chlamydia ( P<0.001). Of heterosexual males 18.8% (124/660) and 13% (136/1022) of females with chlamydia also had gonorrhoea ( P=0.002). Ethnicity had no effect on the proportion of co-infection after controlling for age and gender. Clients with dual infection were younger than those with either infection alone ( P=0.0001). Over half of women and a quarter of men aged 15 to 19 years were dually infected so testing for both gonorrhoea and chlamydia may be appropriate in this age group in settings outside genitourinary clinics. The high proportion of cases of gonorrhoea that also have chlamydia justifies the policy of epidemiological treatment for chlamydia.

Vitriolage or acid violence is a burning human right violation problem of our country. Over the last few years, acid throwing in Bangladesh was a regular phenomenon where most of the victims were female. This descriptive cross sectional study was carried out from July 2011 to June 2012 among the victims of vitriolage who underwent treatment at One stop Crisis centre (OCC) and burn unit of Dhaka Medical College Hospital and also at the rehabilitation and treatment clinics of acid Survivors Foundation (ASF). Among the victims 92% were female and 25% belonged to 21-30 years age group. Most of the victims were from low socio economic background. Failure in marriage (22%), refusal of indecent proposal for sexual relationship (17%), failure in love affairs (13%) were the main causes behind acid violence. Fifty four percent (54%) had injuries in hand, 51 % (51) had injuries in neck and throat, 43 % (43) in back of body and 41 % (41) in face. The victims of vitriolage suffer in the form of physical, social, mental and economical ways. Rehabilitation centre for the victims, prevention of indiscriminate sale of acids, prompt trial of the accused, creation of acid crime tribunal in each district etc can improve the situation.KYAMC Journal Vol. 6, No.-1, Jul 2015, Page 553-556

Oral Infections

ABSTRACT Introduction Dental caries and periodontal disease are the two globally leading oral infections. There is considerable variation in the prevalence of these diseases. Also, these may lead to various periapical pathoses like periapical abscess, cysts, and so on. These may be attributed to differences in age, gender, sample size, geographical distribution, and protocol followed for diagnosis. Objectives To estimate the prevalence of dental caries, gingivitis/periodontitis, and periapical pathoses in patients of all ages in a dental institute in central Gujarat. Materials and methods After obtaining approval from the Institutional Ethics Committee, a hospital-based cross-sectional study was carried out in a dental institute of central Gujarat. A total of 4,642 patients were screened, out of which 2,849 subjects were included in the present study. Intraoral examination was done under all aseptic conditions by using a diagnostic set of instruments by trained professionals and the status of the pathology recorded according to the standard procedure. Data were stored in an Excel spreadsheet for analysis. Results It was observed that dental caries/pulp pathoses were more prevalent in the younger age group with mean age 23.1 years. All the other pathoses were observed among the middle age group (above 35 years). Overall prevalence of dental caries/pulp pathoses, gingivitis/periodontitis, and periapical pathoses was observed in 54.8% of males as compared to 45.2% females. Conclusion The current study collected significant data for the prevalence of three different odontogenic oral lesions in the central Gujarat geographical location at a tertiary level. There is male preponderance in the prevalence of these diseases in general. There is a need to generate awareness about oral health and the prevention of dental caries and gingivitis/periodontitis and to institute measures for the provision of dental care services at the primary level.

Background: Unregulated fertility not only disrupts the health of women and child but also disrupts the economy of society and nation. To gain the knowledge about awareness and contraceptive practices in women living in semi-urban area, a cross-sectional study was conducted over one year to evaluate the awareness, acceptance and prevalence of contraceptive methods and various factors affecting the contraceptive usage.Methods: It was a cross sectional study conducted in outpatient department of obstetrics and gynaecology, in a tertiary medical college hospital. The study constituted 300 subjects. It was an interview based study. Data were collected on age, parity, literacy level, residence, knowledge about various contraception, women practicing contraception and reasons for non-use of contraceptives.Results: A total of 300 women in the age group between 18-45 years were studied. It was observed that most of the women belong to the age group of 25 to 34 years (45.33%). 70% belong to rural population. only 20% were para 2 or less.35.33% of the study population were illiterate and 21.67% had education above secondary level. 290 (96.67%) women were aware of one or multiple methods of contraception however, 126 (42%) women accepted the contraceptive practices. Of 300 women, 94 (31.33%) followed permanent methods of contraception. 66% of the study population had experienced unwanted pregnancy and among them 44% pregnancies were aborted. Number of women practicing contraception was very low, i.e. 42% and the main reason of nonpractice of contraception was family pressure mainly in laws, husband gender bias, physical abuse, etc.Conclusions: It was noted that though knowledge of at least one method of contraception was wide among the women but still actual practice was very low. More programs are required to combat the influence of various factors on contraception usage, and emphasizing on the positive effects of the use of contraception.

Background: Household and agricultural products containing organophosphorus compound (OPC) pesticides are easily available allowing opportunities for easy source of poisoning throughout the world. Bangladesh is no exception. This study was aimed to find out some epidemiological and demographic profile and immediate outcome of OPC poisoning cases.Methods: This cross-sectional study was done at Rajshahi Medical College Hospital from January to December 2007 and consecutively selected 100 patients with OPC poisoning were studied.Results: Half of the patients belonged to age group 16 25 years, 60% were male, 60% were married, 36% were illiterate and 25% were housewives. Suicidal attempt (85%) was the main intention and the commonest cause was familial disharmony (42%). Gastrointestinal (91%) and pupillary (90%) features were predominant. Most (65%) cases received initial treatment at local hospitals within 30 minutes of ingestion of poison and severity was mild. Forty percent patients required less than 50 ampules of atropine and 75% required 0 3 ampules of pralidoxime. Full recovery was achieved in 82% cases, 8% developed intermediate syndrome and 10% died (6/10, 60% within 24 hours of admission). Hospital stay was <5 days in 83.3% casesConclusion: OPC poisoning severity and time lapse between OPC poisoning and hospitalization is an important factor in determining outcome of OPC poisoning.Birdem Med J 2016; 6(2): 74-78

Rotavirus is one of the leading causes of pediatric diarrhea globally. Accurate and rapid diagnosis of Rotavirus diarrhea should reduce unnecessary use of antibiotics and ultimately reduce drug resistance. Study was designed for rapid diagnosis of Rotavirus antigen in stool sample by ICT (Immunochromatographic test) as well as to observe the seasonal variation of rotavirus infection. This cross sectional study was carried out in the department of Microbiology, Dhaka Medical College from January 2011 to December 2011. Eighty stool samples were collected from Dhaka Shishu Hospital and Dhaka Medical College Hospital. All samples were tested for rotavirus antigen by ICT. Among 80 patients, 42 (52.5%) samples were positive for rotavirus antigen. Among these 42 positive samples, 30 (71.43%) were from 0-12 months of age group, 10 (23.81%) from 13 to 24 months of age group and rest 2 (4.76%) from 25 to 36 months of age group. Rotavirus Ag was detected in stool samples from January to April and another peak episode from October to December. Considering the importance of Rotavirus associated diarrhea, rapid detection of Rotavirus infection in human is substantially needed and should be routinely practiced.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjmm.v6i1.19354 Bangladesh J Med Microbiol 2012; 06(01): 11-13
