Abstract: Background:Ear morphology can be used for facial identification and reconstructive ear surgeries. This study was aimed at photoanalytically determining some parameters of the external ear. Method: 514 subjects (16-30 years) comprising 258 males and 256 females were selected using simple random sampling technique . Total ear length (TEL), Total ear width (TEW), Total lobe width (TLW), Total lobular height (TLH) was measured and analyzed. Results: Males were observed to have higher TEL, TEW ear parameters than females, Females were also observed to have a longer TLH than males for both sides of the ear: All measured parameters in both sex showed higher values on the right side than the left, right lobular index was also found to be statistically higher (P < 0.05) when compared to the left one Conclusion: TEL and TEW measured from all angle are correlated and can be used to determine sex. It can also aid biological profiling, facial recognition from security cameras, planning of cosmetic surgery and product design for specific consumer auricular requirements..

Abstract: Menstrual cycle is an event that occurs throughout the reproductive age of a woman before the onset of menopause. During this period, changes in different hormone like progesterone, luteinizing hormone etc levels occurs due to changes in their level of secretion influencing various organs of the body including hematopoiesis. Also, studies had shown iron loss in premenopausal women during menstrual bleeding which may alter the iron status as well as the level of hemoglobin in woman. Studies also shown that athletic performance requires high energy consumption especially in endurance athletes, thus performance may be related to level of hemoglobin as hemoglobin carries oxygen in blood to all organs and tissues of the body. The aim of the present study was to determine the changes in hemoglobin level during different stages viz. menses, the mid follicular and luteal phases over one normal menstrual cycle in 34........
