In the present paper data on finger and palm ridge counts of both hands are reported from representative samples of healthy Bulgarian males and females. Dermatoglyphic prints from both hands of 2431 Bulgarians (1161 males and 1270 females) have been taken in 116 settlements all over the country. The investigated males and females were healthy, not related persons of Bulgarian origin. The results of finger and palm ridge counts include basic statistics and correlations between ridge counts on separate fingers and the correlations between ridge counts in separate interdigital areas. The results, presented together with data on other dermatoglyphic features elaborated and published till now by the same authors for representative samples of Bulgarian males and females, can serve for the set up of a detailed data basis of the dermatoglyphic status of the Bulgarian population. At the same time they could serve as a norm for clinical and medico-biological investigations with theoretical and scientific applied purposes.

Purpose: Emerging therapeutic strategies for Kabuki syndrome (KS) make early diagnosis critical. Fingerprint analysis as a diagnostic aid for KS diagnosis could facilitate early diagnosis and expand the current patient base for clinical trials and natural history studies.

Method: Fingerprints of 74 individuals with KS, 1 individual with a KS-like phenotype, and 108 controls were collected through a mobile app.

Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers created computational phantoms with different sizes and materials (iodine and gadolinium) and imaged them under various settings to evaluate signal quality using spectral-specific metrics like multivariate CNR and separability index.
  • * Findings revealed optimal signal quality occurred with low energy thresholds, high tube currents, and small phantoms, while a random forest algorithm showed the best performance in accurately identifying materials across the different conditions tested.

Predisposing factors for incomplete spontaneous recovery after Parsonage-Turner Syndrome.

Acta Neurochir (Wien)

November 2024

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, 200 First St. SW, Rochester, MN, 55905, USA.

Introduction: Parsonage-Turner Syndrome (PTS) is a rare idiopathic brachial neuritis that classically presents with sudden onset upper extremity pain followed by upper limb weakness, sensory disruption, and muscle atrophy. We hypothesized that the type of antecedent event before symptom onset would determine the degree of spontaneous recovery after PTS.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all patients who presented with PTS to a single tertiary referral center from January 2002 to December 2021.

About 50% of children with IgA vasculitis (IgAV) have abdominal symptoms, usually colic mimic to acute abdomen. Since signs and symptoms of vasculitis may appear in any order, this may affect the diagnosis of children whose abdominal symptoms precede the appearance of purpura. It is necessary to identify the risk factors, pathogenesis, and specific biomarkers to improve the prevention and management of IgAV patients with abdominal symptoms.
