Background: Dermatoglyphics play an important role in the identification of a person as well as identifying a person with a genetic abnormality. Hence, the present study was conducted with an aim to explore the association between the fingerprint patterns and oral potentially malignant disorders (PMDs).
Materials And Methods: We observed 80 individuals divided into 4 groups with 20 individuals in each group based on their habit and the presence of oral lesions. Group 1 included individuals with oral leukoplakia (OL), Group 2 included individuals with oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF), Group 3 individuals had tobacco habits but without lesion and Group 4 comprised of control individuals. The fingerprints of all the study subjects were recorded using a standard ink method. They were analyzed qualitatively and quantitively. It was observed that loop patterns was predominant in all the groups.
Result And Conclusion: The frequency of the whorled pattern was higher in subjects with OSMF as compared to OL. The arch pattern was comparatively lesser in subjects with OL than OSMF subjects. We conclude that dermatoglyphics can be used as a potential marker to identify the subjects with risk for potentially malignant oral disorders.

Department of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, National University of Singapore, 18 Science Drive 4, 117543, Singapore.
Covering: up to early 2025Privileged compound classes of anti-inflammatory natural products are those where there are many reported members that possess anti-inflammatory properties. The identification of these classes is of particular relevance to drug discovery, as they could serve as valuable starting points in developing effective and safe anti-inflammatory agents. The privileged compound classes of natural products include the polyphenols, coumarins, labdane diterpenoids, sesquiterpene lactones, isoquinoline and indole alkaloids, each offering a variety of molecular scaffolds and functional groups that enable diverse interactions with biological targets.

Introduction: Early diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a clinical challenge. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided detective flow imaging (EUS-DFI) can evaluate pancreatic microvascularization, which may be altered in chronic inflammation. Our study aimed to evaluate EUS-DFI findings in patients with CP.

Percutaneous drains are a commonly used method of source control for intra-abdominal infections. Increased time to source control has been shown to predict worse outcomes in patients with intra-abdominal infections, but it is unclear whether this relationship is valid when the source control method is percutaneous drainage. We hypothesized that increased time from diagnostic imaging to drain placement would be associated with higher complication rates in a population of patients requiring percutaneous drainage for intra-abdominal, retroperitoneal, or pelvic infectious processes.
