Comparative StudySex estimation of the sternum by automatic image processing of multi-slice computed tomography images in a Croatian population sample: a retrospective study.
To determine the sexual dimorphism of the sternum with standard measurements in a contemporary Croatian population sample using multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) and to compare the data obtained by an automatic with those obtained by a manual approach. ⋯ Sternal measurements are a reliable sex indicator and can be used in forensic casework. Computer-aided measurement methods can accelerate sex estimation and improve its precision and accuracy.

Multiple genetic analyses to investigate the polymorphisms of Chinese Mongolian population with an efficient short tandem repeat panel.
To determine allele frequencies and forensic statistics of 22 autosomal short tandem repeat loci in Chinese Mongolian population. ⋯ The combined application of these 22 loci could be useful for forensic purposes in the Mongolian population. Mongolian population had smaller genetic distances from the populations in northern China (Northern Han, Xinjiang Uygur, and Xinjiang Hui) than from the populations in Hainan province (Hainan Han and Hainan Li populations).

Population study of thrombophilic markers and pharmacogenetic markers of warfarin prevalence in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
To investigate the prevalence of common genetic variants that can serve as markers of thrombophilia and warfarin pharmacogenetics in Bosnia and Herzegovina. ⋯ This study reports the first extensive population genetic data for thrombophilia and warfarin pharmacogenetic markers in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Allele frequencies of genetic variants are within the general average for European populations, and their presence implies the necessity of introduction of personalized medicine in warfarin-mediated antithrombotic therapy.
