“…On the contrary, a study conducted by Wijerathne et al (2013) on Sinhalese population, have reported all the fingerprint indices to be higher in males than females. 34 A previous study by Baryah and Krishan on two ethnic groups namely Rajput and Brahmin (2020) 29 and another one by Kapoor and Badiye (2015) on Indian Muslim population 4 where they observed statistically insignificant results for sex differences, but, results of this study are contradictory with these for sex differences observations. Therefore, significant observations were reported for sexual dimorphism in pattern types, pattern combination and indices.…”

“…24 In this study, Pattern Intensity and Furuhata's Index are higher for males; whereas Denkmeijer's and Poll's Index are higher in females. Even the previous studies among Rajput, 29 Toda of Tamil Nadu, 30 Limbu of Sikkim, 31 Dhimal of North Bengal 32 also shows PII and FI are higher in males. Similarly the studies on Brahmins (Baryah and Krishan 2020), 29 Toda of Tamil Nadu (Singh and Mishra 2015), 30 Muslims of central India, 4 Dhimals of North Bengal, 32 Rengma Nagas of Nagaland, 33 Tibetan of Tibet 18 shows higher DI among females.…”

One in ten non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH) is located in the pons with chronic arterial hypertension as the leading etiology. In the forensic context, deaths related to a pontine hemorrhage (PH) are usually encountered in situations of drug abuse, excited delirium, trauma, as well as in sudden natural deaths where some hypertensive catastrophe is the usual underlying mechanism. The clinical presentation of PH may be variable, causing a failure in timely diagnosis that, if presents with unexplainable circumstances, may become the subject of medicolegal concern. The present case relates to a middle-aged man with a long history of hypertension and presents during an afternoon with an abrupt onset of deleterious symptoms. The patient was managed conservatively but succumbed to his illness and expires during treatment. A questionable diagnosis and the case circumstances, however, directed the doctors to inform the police. A medicolegal autopsy was therefore carried out that leads to the discovery of a lethal pontine hemorrhage rupturing into the fourth ventricle and involving the adjacent cerebellar tissues as well. Severe atherosclerosis of the basal arteries constituting Circle of Willis and Vertebrobasilar system was seen along with their hallmark effects that became evident during brain sectioning. Pathological stigmata of well established hypertension were found in the heart and kidneys. A clinic pathological correlation of the physical characteristics and topography of the hematoma to its severity was also carried out, based upon the known CT and autopsy findings. The possibility of a drug related or traumatic and secondary brainstem/Duret hemorrhage was ruled out.

“…However, in Malawians, arches were found to be the most predominant digital pattern (Igbigbi and Msamati 1999) Compared with dermatoglyphics data of ethinic groups outside of Africa, Rao (1972) reported among the Aborigines in Australian fingerprint frequency of 64.79%, 32.25% and 1.42% for whorl, loop and Arch respectively. In a study among healthy young adults residing in Districts Shimla and Solan of Himachal Pradesh state of north India, Baryah and Krishan (2020) reported Loops followed by whorls, composites and finally arches as the most commonly occurring patterns in both ethnic groups. Gauldi -Russo et al (1982) reported among the Bolognese in Italy a whorl frequency of 31.20%, loop frequency of 63.33% and arch frequency of 5.47%.…”

Patterns in fingers, palms, and soles; a term refers to as ‘dermatoglyphics’, are now been studied for ethno-historic facts and ancestry tracing. However, there is paucity of information on Esan people dermatoglyphics. Hence, this study investigates the variations in finger dermatoglyphics among Esan speaking tribe of Edo State, Nigeria. A total of 500 indigenes were sampled from 3 randomly selected Local Government Areas (LGAs) and the ink method was used to collect finger-prints from both palms. The loop was the most predominant pattern (54.44%) while the whorl and arches represent 30.96% and 14.60% respectively. Overall, the loop fingerprint pattern was highest in all the LGAs. Esan West LGA presented highest in the arches fingerprints (56.44%) as compared to Esan North East LGA (24.38%) and Esan Central LGA (19.18%). The right hand was observed to present higher in the different primary fingerprints but the different was not significant. There was no significant different (p>0.05) in the distribution of the primary fingerprints pattern between the right and left hand in the different LGAs. There was a significant difference (p<0.05) in the distribution of the primary fingerprints between genders. Female represented higher in the arches pattern while male represented higher in the whorl pattern. The loop pattern was male dominant in Esan West and Esan Central LGAs but female dominated in Esan North East LGA. The findings demonstrated gender and LGAs variations of primary fingerprints among the Esan speaking tribe and may suggest different ancestry. This result could play important role for forensic anthropologist in the study area. Keywords: Dermatoglyphics, Fingerprints, Esan, Edo State, Nigeria
