“…Iannerelli 17 observed that an increase in auricle length with age was largely due to sagging of the cartilage-free earlobe. However, Ito et al 15 elucidated the mechanism of continuous expansion of the auricle after adulthood by using light and electron microscopy to examine the adult human auricular cartilage. The authors observed elastic fibers with relatively homogenous thickness in the young group whereas in the aged group elastic fibers were heterogeneous in thickness.…”

“…The shape of the ear gives information about age and sex, which is clear. But, still has difficulties in characterizing it [2][3][4][5][6]. The size of the human auricle increases between 0 and 18 ages [7], and its size continues to increase even after the body development finishes [5][6].…”

Objective:In the present study, it was aimed to evaluate the usability of morphological appearance of ears for positive and negative identification and to define the accuracy rates in ear identification using naked-eye detection by experienced volunteers. Methods:This ÖZET Amaç:Bu çalışmada, pozitif ve negatif kimliklendirme için kulağın morfolojik görünümünün kullanılabilirliğinin değerlendirilmesi ve deneyimli gönüllüler tarafın-dan çıplak gözle tespit kullanıla-rak kulak kimliklendirmesinde doğruluk oranlarının belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Yöntemler:Bu çalışma üç aşamada uygulandı: 30 erkek ve 30 kadın gönül-lünün (18-26 yaş arasında) 120 kulak görüntüsünün (60 sağ ve 60 sol) toplanması, kimliklendirme deneyimi olan 20 gönüllünün yorumları ve SPSS-11 İstatistik Programı ile istatistiksel analiz. Bulgular:Doğru cevap oranları orantısal hesaplama ile % 86,5 ve olasılık hesaplamasıyla %99,73 olarak bulundu. Yanlış cevapların toplam oranı erkek gönüllülerde orantısal hesaplama ile % 12,5, olasılık hesaplamasıyla % 0,25 iken, kadın gönüllülerde sıra-sıyla orantısal hesaplama ile % 14,5, olasılık hesaplamasıyla % 0,29 idi (p>0,05). Yanlış cevapların toplam oranı sol kulakta, sağ kulaktan iki kattan daha fazlaydı. Sonuç:Çıplak gözle kulak görüntüle-rinin bire bir karşılaştırması, şüpheli kişiler arasında suçun fail(ler)inin ayırt edilmesi için, polis memurları tarafından uygulanan ilk elemenin bir bölümü olarak kullanılabilir.

A Morphological Study of Age Changes in Adult Human Auricular Cartilage With Special Emphasis on Elastic Fibers

Abstract: Structural changes of auricular cartilage associated with morphological age changes of elastic fibers may be one of the causes of expansion of the auricle after reaching adulthood.
