Assessment of Radial Pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:

Apical-Radial (A-R) Pulse Assessment
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.

Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers

2.7K
The muscles of the forearm that move the wrist, hand, and digits are numerous and diverse. They can be classified into two groups based on their location and function — the anterior and posterior compartment muscles.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment muscles originate from the humerus. They primarily function as flexors and are also known as flexor muscles. They typically insert on the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The superficial layer includes the flexor carpi...

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Science
  • Human Identification
  • Dermatoglyphics

Background:

  • Fingerprinting is a definitive forensic identification method.
  • Fingerprint recovery from crime scenes is crucial for identification.
  • Human fingerprints are unique, durable, and stable identification tools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the frequency of fingerprint patterns in the left hand thumb.
  • To analyze the distribution of fingerprint patterns in a specific population group.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study was conducted on 95 third-year MBBS students.
  • Fingerprints were collected using both rolling and plain methods.
  • Data was collected from December 2014 to August 2015.

Main Results:

  • Loops were the most prevalent fingerprint pattern, observed in 58% of students.
  • Whorls constituted the second most common pattern (35%).
  • Arches (5%) and composite patterns (2%) were less frequent.

Conclusions:

  • Loops are the predominant fingerprint pattern in the studied population.
  • The findings contribute to understanding fingerprint pattern distribution.
  • This data can aid in forensic identification and anthropological studies.
