Introduction: In recent years, the golden proportions have been evaluated by various researchers in the general  population and orthodontic patients to establish their correlation with facial attractiveness and esthetics, but with  conflicting results. Objective: The present study aimed to analyze the frontal facial golden proportions of young adults, an attractive  group, and two malocclusion groups. Our null hypothesis stated that the golden proportions of attractive females  were analogous with or closer to the golden number than those with an established malocclusion. Materials and Methods: Frontal facial photographs of 100 participants were scoredfor facial attractiveness by  10 dental specialists. Thirty females with scores greater than themedian score of 48 formed the attractive group.  Thirteen females with Class I malocclusionand 15 females with Class II division 1 malocclusion formed the two  malocclusion groups. Tenlandmarks and 19 golden proportions were calculated for all subjects. One-way ANOVA  was used to analyze the differences in golden proportions betweenthe attractive and malocclusion groups. Results: Significant differences were observed for 10 proportions (P < 0.04 to < 0.0001). Onevertical proportion  showed significant differences in both subgroups; attractive versus Class Iand attractive versus Class II division 1;  while one vertical and all transverse proportion showedsignificant differences only in the Attractive versus Class  II division 1 subgroup. The average values of these proportions varied both toward and away from the golden  number for both attractiveand malocclusion groups. Conclusion: Facial proportions of the attractive females were significantly different from thosewith malocclusion  but did not show a constant trend of being closer to the golden number. Furthermore, the golden proportions were  not analogous to the facial esthetics of attractive females.

Nursing is a caring profession but in the true sense, it is a courageous profession. it is a known fact that only  a courageous person can sustain in the nursing profession. due to the various changes from the patients and as  well society and the organizations the courage of the nursing professionals came in to the focus. There are the  various types of the courage’s should nurse professionals should keep while giving the service to the sick people  in the health care settings as well as in the society, such as spiritual, moral and psychological courses. In the Indian  scenario still, nurses have not come out with their image of being subordinate to the medical profession. In day-today practice, they are confirmed with many situations where they need to have the courage to face the truth and act  appropriately to exert their rights as responsible professionals.

In the first part of this DNA profile series, an overview of the importance of this method in forensics was given  along with a brief description of the DNA isolation methods. This second section provides an account of the few  profiling programs currently available and the future scope of these approaches to forensic odontology
