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…
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…

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…
Effect of Covid ‐19 pandemic on bioimpedance health indicators in young adults

Pilot study of correlation of selected genetic factors with cribra orbitalia in individuals from a medieval population from Slovakia
Association between smoking status and body composition parameters in a young adult population
The purpose of this study was to analyze the association between smoking status and body composition parameters in 19–30 years old slovak population (mean age: 22,38 ± 2,34 years). The sample consisted of 379 individuals, including 143 men and 236 women. Body composition parameters were obtained using segmentation bioimpedance analysis. The results of our study showed that regular smokers had significantly higher values of waist circumference (p …
Association of Leu432Val (rs1056836) polymorphism of the CYP1B1 gene with lipid profile in hypertensive Slovak women
Leu432Val (rs1056836) polymorphism of the CYP1B1 gene was examined in relationship with lipid profile in hypertensive Slovak women according to their menopausal status. The entire study sample comprised 255 women suffering from hypertension aged from 39 to 65 years who were recruited from different localities in the western, southern, and middle parts of Slovakia. The participants provided a saliva or blood sample for DNA genotyping and a blood s…
Radioulnar contrasts in fingerprint ridge counts
OBJECTIVES: Using prenatally fixed dermatoglyphics features as markers of prenatal sex development is limited due to insufficient knowledge on their sex differences. This study aims to examine more thoroughly sex differences in radioulnar contrasts. METHODS: Fingerprints of 360 females and 331 males from four samples of different ethnic backgrounds (Czechs, Slovaks, Vietnamese and Lusatian Sorbs) were studied. On both hands, finger ridge counts w…

Detection of mitochondrial haplogroups in a small avar‐slavic population from the eigth–ninth century AD
OBJECTIVES: In the sixth century AD, Avars came to Central Europe from middle Eurasian steppes and founded a strong Empire called the Avar Khagante (568-799/803 AD) in the Pannonian basin. During the existence of this empire, they undertook many military and pugnacious campaigns. In the seventh century, they conquered the northern territory inhabited by Slavs, who were further recruited in Avar military and were commissioned with obtaining food s…

Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis from Roman Hungary
This paper deals with cases of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) found at the Late Roman Age necropolis in Pécs, Hungary (4th century AD). The skeletal remains of two male individuals, aged between 60-70 years and 45-55 years, displayed right-sided ossification of the anterior longitudinal ligament with extra-spinal manifestations typical in DISH cases. It is presumed that both male individuals were middle-class citizens. Their soci…
