Association between inhalant allergies and bone mass in young adults assessed by radial quantitative ultrasound
Background: Allergic diseases may affect skeletal health through chronic inflammation and immune-mediated mechanisms. However, evidence in young adults remains limited. Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the association between inhalant allergy and bone mass in men and women aged 18–30 years. Subjects and methods: The study included 649 young adults (256 men and 393 women). Bone mass was assessed using quantitative ultrasound (Sunlig…
Ultrasound-based skeletal age and its association with physical performance in Slovak youth ice hockey players
Background: Biological maturation is an important factor influencing physical performance in youth athletes. Differences between chronological and skeletal age may contribute to variability in strength, speed, and overall athletic performance. Assessing skeletal age using non-invasive methods may provide valuable insights for sports practice. Objective: This preliminary study aimed to evaluate differences between chronological and skeletal age an…
Footprint morphometry in stature estimation of subadults
Background: Footprint morphometry offers a promising approach for biological profiling in forensic anthropology, in situations where podiatric traces are more likely to be recovered than skeletal or genetic evidence. Studies exist on young adults and older populations till date, but research specifically on juvenile (or subadult) populations remains limited. Objectives: This study is a preliminary attempt to investigate how static footprint dimen…
Association Between Vegetarian Diet and Bone Mineral Density Assessed by Quantitative Ultrasound in Young Adult Women
OBJECTIVES: The association between vegetarian dietary patterns and bone health remains inconsistent, particularly in young adult populations. This study aimed to investigate the association between adherence to a vegetarian dietary pattern and bone mineral density (BMD) in a sample of young adult women. METHODS: The study included 648 young adult women from Slovakia (67 reporting adherence to a vegetarian diet and 581 omnivores). BMD was assesse…
Sex Estimation using Footprint Ridge Density – A Mini Review
INTRODUCTION The epidermal level of human footprint possesses raised ridges and furrows, which form unique patterns. Ridge density quantification, involving counting the ridges within a predefined unit area, emphasizes variability due to differences in epidermal ridge thickness. Analyses of these ridges exhibit sex-based differences, making it important for forensic identification purposes. STUDY AIM The present mini review was conducted to showc…
Frequency of Basic Types of Dorsal Hand Vein Patterns in the Slovak Population
Introduction Dorsal hand vein pattern represents a unique morphological feature of the human body which may serve as a biometric tool for forensic identification. Study Aim The primary aim of this study was to determine the frequency and distribution of dorsal hand vein patterns in a Slovak adult population, with respect to sex and laterality of the hand. Material and Methods This study provides a morphological analysis of dorsal hand vein patter…
Association Between Self‐Reported Lactose Intolerance, Additional Environmental Factors, and Bone Mineral Density in Young Adults
OBJECTIVES: This study examines the relationship between self-reported lactose intolerance (LI), environmental factors, and their effects on bone mineral density (BMD) in young adults from Slovakia. METHODS: We assessed 985 adults aged 18-30 years, with an average age of 21.61 ± 2.32 years, who were enrolled in this pilot cross-sectional study during the period 2019-2023. Individual environmental factors (smoking status, alcohol consumption, phys…
The evaluation of latent fingerprints exposed to different snow conditions and their usability in forensics
Second level dactyloscopic markants (minutiae) are irregularities in the course of the friction ridge skin used for personal identification because of their high variability. Individual uniqueness is affected by the high number of minutiae and their random distribution within the friction ridge skin. The combination of various environmental factors, eg, snow, soil environment, and direct sunlight, can affect the quality of fingerprints. The aim o…
An interdisciplinary forensic approach in a mummified child with evidence of abuse and neglect
If mummified remains with partial skeletonization of a subadult are found, collaboration among forensic experts is requiredIn this case, dried subdural blood coagulum indicated post-traumatic, non-spontaneous subdural haemorrhagePeriosteal reaction present on the facial bones and distal portion of the humerus was a suspicious findingAnalyses of female subadult remains based on an interdisciplinary approach revealed a syndrome of child abuse and n…
The variability of anthropometric and body composition parameters in middle-aged women associated with menopause and smoking
Menopause and its related hormonal changes are associated with the variation of body composition, especially impacting adipose tissue metabolism and the reduction of lean mass. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the impact of smoking during menopause on the subsequent effects on body composition. The sample comprised of 572 Slovak women aged between 39 and 65 years (49.67±6.2). Standard anthropometric techniques were used to coll…
Association between normal weight obesity and lipids profile in Slovak women aged 38 to 59 years
Obesity and its associated health problems are an issue, especially when weight gain is not outwardly visible. Individuals with the same Body Mass Index (BMI) may differ in body fat percentage and may unknowingly suffer from normal weight obesity (NWO). Middle-aged women are at high risk if their body composition changes due to factors such as age, health status or reproductive history. This study investigated the relationship between NWO and lip…
A unique find of juvenile cleft lip and palate in the post-mediaeval impious burial of two males in Dunajská Streda, Slovakia
