This study is aimed at quantitatively analyzing the physical differences that exist in linear measurements of the foot in males and females and across both sex under different weight bearing conditions thus providing data for the design and construction of a comfortable foot support in Nigeria. The linear plantar foot shape dimension of 126 subjects (66 males and 60 females) with normal foot were measured under three weight bearing conditions: non-weight bearing, semi-weight bearing, and full-weight bearing. The data analyzed showed that increased weight bearing increased the foot length and foot breadth. Compared with the non-weight bearing foot shape, the semi-weight bearing condition produced increases in male foot length of 2.55% (6.4mm), female foot length of 1.57% (3.7mm), male foot breath of 3.7% (3.4mm), female foot breadth of 5.03% (4.2mm), while the full-weight bearing condition will produce increase in male foot length of 3.03% (7.4mm), female foot length of 2.33% (5.5mm), male foot breadth of 5.44% (5mm), and female foot breadth of 6.35% (5.3mm). The percentage change in foot length and breadth within and across both sexes is statistically significant (p<.05). The findings are useful in considering the change of foot shape in weight bearing during the selection of shoe size and shoe or insole design and construction and to the orthotics during the design of fitting devices for foot support. Also, it can be useful in forensic science.","PeriodicalId":22525,"journal":{"name":"The Internet Journal of Biological Anthropology","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81260111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Works on these creases have been done on several human populations; racial and ethnic, but no specific documented study had singled out the Ijaws of SouthSouth Nigeria in respect to these palmar creases aberration. This study was to determine the prevalence of simian and Sydney creases in apparently normal individual of the Ijaw ethnicity of SouthSouth Nigeria and to compare it with known population prevalence. Five hundred and seven subjects of Ijaw origin were randomly selected. Subjects palms were physically inspected for simian and / or Sydney crease. Observations were categorised into gender and right / left palm(s). Relationship between creases, gender and right or left palm was assessed by Fisher's exact test. Results shows that the prevalence of male with simian crease in the male population and in the entire population was 3.98% and 1.77% respectively, while that for female were 4.27% and 2.37%. Sexual predilection was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Subject in the study population with simian crease is 4.14%. Sydney crease was uncommon, it occurred in 0.19% of individuals. Values in the Ijaws of SouthSouth Nigeria were generally lower than those of the Orient and higher than those of the Caucasians. Confirming that physical anthropology trait varies amongst populations.","PeriodicalId":22525,"journal":{"name":"The Internet Journal of Biological Anthropology","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75463829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Few studies confirmed that those in lower BMI category had lower mean handgrip strength too. In the present study, a total of 100 female labourers and 100 sedentary women were participated and the samples were collected purposively. The subjects were further divided into younger (18-25 years) and older (26-40 years) age groups. Age range of the subject was between 18 to 40 years. Selected anthropometric measurements were taken and nutritional indices were calculated using standard equations. Handgrip strength was measured using a digital handgrip dynamometer.When intra-group comparisons were made in younger and older female laborers, no significant differences (p≥0.05) were found for handgrip strength and the determinants of nutritional status, but in controls, intra-group comparisons showed significant differences (p≤0.05) in eight sets out of twelve (except right and left hand grip strength and arm fat index). When comparisons were made between younger and older female laborers and controls, statistically significant differences (p≤0.05) in all the parameters, especially the determinants of nutritional status were found. So it may be concluded that the nutritional status determined the handgrip strength of the female laborers.","PeriodicalId":22525,"journal":{"name":"The Internet Journal of Biological Anthropology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89268103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Similar variations exist in the expression of genetic traits like dimples and widows peak. In this study however, we are concerned with the growing sense in genetic epidemiology that many findings are failing to replicate as many of the claimed associations are false positive and these false positives are seen because of the inability to study many genetic variants in relation to many disease outcomes, without knowing the precise bio-cultural background of the groups being studied. Thus, we present a preliminary attempt to determine the combination patterns between some morphogenetic traits expressed by 193 residents of Ekpoma, Nigeria. Focus is on dimples, widows peak, blood groups and genotypes. The results showed that the distribution of blood groups and genotypes are in line with previous finding while the results on morphogenetic trait combinations strikingly suggests that certain combinations might be rare or non-existent. We believe that this and similar findings may one day play a role in ‘predictive human screening’.","PeriodicalId":22525,"journal":{"name":"The Internet Journal of Biological Anthropology","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87369161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This investigation concerns traumatic injury sustained by two Chinese Americans who died during the late 19th or early 20th centuries in northern Nevada, U.S. There has been little attention given to the “Overseas” Chinese, in either historical or archaeological contexts. The designation “Overseas” is given to those individuals who emigrated from mainland China starting in the 1800s to places around the world. Here, two individuals are described in terms of traumatic, perimortem injury, and other findings of pathological interest. These two individuals would have died from their sustained injuries. Of central importance to this study is to first emphasize the dangerous occupation that many Chinese undertook, such as mining activity or railroad construction. Second, not knowing the exact nature surrounding their deaths, this study investigates possible inter-personal violence that often resulted from antagonistic factions between either the Chinese themselves, or between the Chinese and other immigrants competing for high risk, but lucrative jobs scattered throughout the western United States.","PeriodicalId":22525,"journal":{"name":"The Internet Journal of Biological Anthropology","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88117544","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
