A Study of Auricle Morphology for Identification in Indians

Jyoti Singhal1,
Nidhi Sharma2,
Sanjeev Kumar Jain3
et al.

Abstract: Background: External ear is a significant feature for human face identification. Its size, shape and spatial location on human face are vital from aesthetic point of view. The knowledge of morphometry of normal human auricle and its symmetry is also required for the surgical resection. Aim: The aim of the current study was to estimate the morphometry of external ear and its anatomical landmarks with respect of identification. Methods: In the current, morphometric, cross sectional study was done on 400 Indian s… Show more

“…Total Ear Width Sexual dimorphism was observed in our present study (see Table 2) with the males having significantly higher TEW values than females at all angles (90 0 45 0 left and 45 0 right of both ears) (P<0.05). These findings concur with the findings of [15], [16], [11], [8], [17], [5], [8], [18].…”

“…In this study, right lobule index of males and females was found to be statistically higher (P < 0.05) compared to the left (see Table 3). This was similar to the findings of [15], [11], who reported that all parameters measured in their study were significantly larger and statistically significant on right side in both males and females. The comparison of different anthropometric parameters in relation to ear side using paired sample t-test showed that TLW is significant at 90 o , 45 o left, and 45 o right (P<0.05), the ear height was also significant at 45 o left (P<0.05).…”

“…This implies that females have a longer TLH than males at 90 0 , 45 0 left and 45 0 right of both ears which is in agreement with the study of [8], [17], [19], [20], who reported that the changes in size of lobule are mainly seen due to gravitational forces secondary to wearing of ornaments, earrings by females which impose additional weight on the ears, therefore further increasing ear length. However, some studies by [16], [15], [11] reported higher male mean LH. These differences could be specific to the geographical locations, environment, ethnic group, genetics, and ornamental inclinations of the male and female subjects employed in their studies.…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…RT lobule length, LT lobule length & width has also significant correlation with height of individual. Signal J et al [14] in his study on Auricle Morphology for identification in Indian among 400 students showed that the mean observation of the right and left ear length of males were 4.61±0.41 cm, 4.54±0.44cm which was less as compared to our study.…”
