Quantitative analysis of digitopalmar dermatoglyphics in fifty male psoriatic spondylitis patients.

By the quantitative dermatoglyphic analysis of digitopalmar ridge count in fifty male psoriatic spondylitis patients were researched 25 dermatoglyphics traits: number of epidermal ridges on the all ten fingers, their sum for five and ten fingers, four traits on the both palms, i.e. between a-b, b-c, c-d and a-d triradii, and atd angles and their bilateral sum in degrees.

Dermatoglyphics in psoriatic symmetrical polyarthritis in fifty women--quantitative analysis.

Quantitative dermatoglyphic analysis ofdigitopalmar ridge count was used to research psoriatic symmetrical polyarthritis in fifty women. Analyzed were 25 dermatoglyphics traits: number of epidermal ridges on all ten fingers, their sum for five and ten fingers, four traits on both palms, i.e.

Comparison of digito-palmar dermatoglyphic traits in children with cerebral palsy and their close family members.

Cerebral palsy is one of the main causes of severe disability in children. Sixty children (30 boys and 30 girls) were included in the study. Quantitative digito-palmar dermatoglyphic traits were analyzed.

Dermatoglyphics of digitopalmar complex in forty male patients affected by rheumatoid arthritis--quantitative analysis.

Quantitative analysis of digitopalmar ridge count was performed in forty male patients with rheumatoid arthritis to evaluation of genetic factors in that disease. Twenty five variables (ridge count on each of ten fingers, their sum on five and ten fingers, four traits on each palm, i. e.

Qualitative dermatoglyphic traits in brachial plexus palsy.

It has been considered for many years that the cause of perinatal brachial plexus palsy (PBPP) is excessive lateral traction applied to the fetal head at delivery, in association with anterior shoulder dystocia, but this do not explain all cases of brachial plexus palsy. The incidence found in several family members could be suggestive for inheritance with variable expression. The aim of this study was to prove early found confirmations of genetic predisposition for PBPP In the previous studies, the quantitative dermatoglyphic analysis showed some differences in digito-palmar dermatoglyphs between patients with PBPP and healthy controls.

Dermatoglyphs and brachial plexus palsy.

Perinatal brachial plexus palsy (PBPP) is a handicap quite commonly encountered in daily routine. Although birth trauma is considered to be the major cause of the defect, it has been observed that PBPP occurs only in some infants born under identical or nearly identical conditions. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis of genetic predisposition for PBPP.

A contribution to genetic etiology of complex regional pain syndrome type I (algodystropy syndrome) based on quantitative analysis of digitopalmar dermatoglyphics in sixty men.

The patterns of the ridges of the skin of the fingers and palms were determined in sixty men with complex regional pain syndrome (type I) as a measure of disease prevention. The study included 25 dermatoglyphic traits: number of epidermal ridges on all ten fingers; their sum for five and ten fingers; four traits on both palms, i.e.
