Our study clearly demonstrated that in type 1 and type 2 DM, there was increase in fasting blood sugar with decrease in serum amylase and serum lipase which signifies the derangement of endocrine-exocrine axis of the pancreas. Serum amylase and serum lipase can be used as biochemical markers for assessment of pancreatic exocrine function.
Assessment of human sex from skeletal parts is important in anthropology, archaeology, paleoanthropology, comparative anatomy and forensic medicine where it provides accurate information to medico-legal information. Hence this study was taken to determine the sex from femur. Determination of sex from skeletal remains is an important component in the identification but sometimes becomes difficult to the forensic expert especially when the pelvis is absent. The sex identification by the fingerprint systems and DNA tests are the best methods. Sex determination carried out from the male and female femur bones is accurate in ninety percent of cases than in cases of adult pelvis or skull. Various studies demonstrated the metric assessment of sex to differentiate in races and regions in the populations. Aim: This study was conducted for metric standards of sex determination by femur measurements. Materials and Methods: Osteometric data were obtained from the 100 adults femurs (50 males and 50 females). Results: Values of female femur are slightly higher than males. Conclusion: We have used either univariate or multivariate analysis for sexual dimorphism of femur, this is a statistical technique which has proven to have a high utility in studies of sex determination [1]. With the help of seven standard parameters using the maximum length, maximum diameter of head, midshaft circumference, maximum antero-posterior diameter of medial and lateral epicondyle and bicondylar width showed significant differences in male and female femur with accuracy of 90.2%. This result clearly indicated the importance of these variables in identification of sex from femur [2].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
