Cutaneous Biophysical Characteristics of Melasma
… volunteers with melasma were enrolled. The melanin index/erythema index, stratum corneum (SC) hydration, sebum content, and transepidermal water loss (TEWL) were measured and compared between lesional and perilesional normal skin. The TEWL was re-measured immediately and 5 hours after tape …

The non-invasive quantification of cutaneous haemoglobin and its oxygenation by reflectance spectrophotometry
… the amount of haemoglobin, the "haemoglobin index", and oxygen saturation, the "oxygenation index", in a blood containing sample. The haemoglobin index is derived from the spectrum of haemoglobin as the difference between two gradients calculated between three isobestic points (527.5,544, and …

The assessment of forensic molecular markers for skin colour in South Africans
… typically involved in molecular phenotyping, and melanin index (MI) in the South African (SA) metapopulation (n = 389). The self-reported ancestry, ethnicity and relevant biographic information for each participant was documented and MI was recorded using a dermaspectrophotometer. DNA was …

Assessment of 13 Forensic Molecular Markers for skin colour in South Africa
… to model the relationship between these AIMs and melanin index more objectively. Unfortunately, the scope of this research project did not allow for the completion of this additional aspect. Overall, these results indicate that these 13 AIMs have potential to predict pigmentation phenotypes of …
