PURPOSE. To assess the correlation between the forearm plus little finger length and the femoral length in 100 volunteers. METHODS. The forearm plus little finger length and the ipsilateral femoral length of 68 male and 32 female volunteers aged 19 to 55 (mean, 35.8) years were measured using a measuring tape. The forearm plus litter finger length was measured from the tip of the olecranon to t...

Environmental, political. and socioeconomic actions over the past several years have resulted in a decreased wood supply at a time when there is an increased demand for forest products. This combination of increased demand and decreased supply has forced more emphasis on engineered wood products, a varied category usually connected with adhesively-bonded end joints, of which the most common typ...

Human survival requires quick and accurate movements, both with and without tools. To overcome the sensorimotor delays and noise, the brain uses internal forward models to predict the sensory consequences of an action. Here, we investigated whether these sensory predictions are computed similarly for actions involving hand-held tools and natural hand movements. We hypothesized that the predicti...

We have to be convinced that it is possible and worth the effort as it gives the best cosmetic and functional result. Knowledge of the fingertip anatomy is very important , veins need at least 5 mm of dorsal skin proximal to nail fold. At the lunula level there is only palmar vein available. Classification of amputation are many but Tamai’s classification is still very good as it divides the fi...

A chemically synthesized silver nanowire was used for atomic-resolution STM imaging and tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) spectroscopy, yielding excellent reproducibility. This TERS tip will open a new venue to surface analysis, such as molecular finger printing at nanoscales.

We report a case of primary hyperparathyroidism presenting with an isolated brown tumor in the finger tip.

Damage to any of the anatomic structures of the finger tip can result in a change in use of the hand, even making some tasks impossible. Prevention is naturally most important; however, when an injury occurs, anatomic restoration should be the goal. Treatment should be the most direct and simple to reach the optimal structural and functional result. Caveats of treatment are: (1) save nails; (2)...

Dermatoglyphics, the study of palm prints are the patterns of the ridged skin of the digits, palms & soles, which are constant and individualistic. Dermatoglyphic study of finger tip & palmer patterns had been done extensively in various genetic and metabolic disorders. The present study is carried out to see the co-relation between the interdigital patterns and ABO blood groups. The study incl...

We propose a simple and effective approach for fingerprint liveness detection based on the wavelet analysis of the finger tip surface texture. Experimental results show that our method can successfully differentiate live finger tips from fake finger tips made of most commonly used material in fingerprint spoofing.
