“…The predictive value of dermatoglyphic features (DGFs) in relation to a variety of diseases has been investigated for more than five decades, from the seminal work of Cummins and Midlo in 1961 ( Bhat et al ., 2012 ; Sharma & Sharma, 2012 ; Shetty et al ., 2016 ). Dermatoglyphics is the scientific study of epidermal crescent patterns and several researchers from different fields, such as biology, anthropology, genetics, and medicine, are engaged in unraveling several unknown aspects of this field ( Raniwala et al ., 2017 ). In addition, dermatoglyphics has been used as a noninvasive diagnostic tool to detect or predict different medical conditions that have a fetal origin ( Wijerathne et al ., 2016 ).…”

Background: Obesity is a health condition that causes a great impact on public health. The aim of this study was to determine the association between dermatoglyphic characteristics and excessive weight in children and adolescents aged 10 to 19 years in the center-west region of Santa Catarina, Brazil. Methods: The sample comprised of 2,172 children and adolescents aged 10 to 19 years old of both sexes and from public and private teaching networks. Results: The results suggested a predictive marker of obesity, with a greater number of lines in left hand finger two (Mesql2) and a higher frequency of the whorl pattern in participants of a healthy weight, while the overweight group had a higher frequency of the radial loop pattern and the obese group had a higher frequency of the ulnar loop pattern. Conclusion: It was concluded that there may be different dermatoglyphic characteristics depending on the nutritional status of children and adolescents.

“…Among neoplastic lesions based on FNAC, follicular neoplasm consisted 89.2% cases, papillary carcinoma thyroid (PTC)) was 6.1% cases, anaplastic carcinoma was 4.6%) cases and least was Hurthle cell neoplasm, 1.5% cases. In Raniwala et al 17 study maximum cases were diagnosed as multinodular and colloid goiter. Eight out of 60 cases were diagnosed as being malignant (follicular, papillary, and medullary carcinoma).…”

“…In the present study, 32.7% presented with solitary nodule thyroid, 29% Multinodular goiter, 12.7% diffuse thyroid swelling, 14.5% multiple nodules + difficulty in swallowing+pain in throat and 10.9%+ solitary nodule thyroid+ Difficulty in swallowing+ pain in throat. In a study conducted by Raniwala et al 17 out of 60 cases, 34 (56.67%) were unilateral, followed by 15 (25%) cases with bilateral complaints and 11 (18.33%) cases were of solitary thyroid nodule (STN). Kumar et al 16 in their study observed that swelling in front of the neck was most common presentation and was seen in 98.98% (n=293) cases followed by dysphagia seen in 17.97% (n=53) cases.…”

Thyroid swelling is one of the most common indications for surgical excision. Since most of the swellings are benign and with euthyroid status, these patients do not require surgical excision. Fine needle aspiration cytology is a rapid, efficient, inexpensive and safe diagnostic method in these cases. FNAC has some limitations, particularly limited to representatives of samples and exact typing of benign and malignant neoplastic lesions. Thus, FNAC alone may not give a confirmative diagnosis regarding few thyroid lesions. Hence, histopathological study has been the standard technique for the diagnosis of thyroid lesions. To study the accuracy of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of thyroid swellings and to correlate with histopathology so as to avoid unnecessary surgeries for benign lesions.This was a prospective study done on 55 cases wherein Fine Needle Aspiration cytology was done followed by histopathology. The reports on both modalities were correlated and sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were calculated. In the present study, females (72.7%) outnumbered males (27.2%). Non neoplastic lesions constituted 83.3% in our study. Among Non-neoplastic lesions, Nodular goiter was most commonly reported and constituted 49% cases. The sensitivity and specificity for thyroid FNAC are reasonably good. FNAC is a minimally invasive, low cost testing modality. It accurately diagnoses malignant thyroid lesions. It has good specificity and accuracy but is less sensitive in diagnosing definitive etiology. However, it is an important diagnostic test to guide the management of thyroid lesions.
