Context: The major duodenal papilla is one of the most fascinating papilla present at the duodenum attracting many gastroenterologists as they do endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatiography (ERCP) for diagnosis and treatment purpose of many diseases. Most of the textbooks of Anatomy describe that the summit of major duodenal papilla is situated posteromedially in the descending part of duodenum. Henceforth the present study was undertaken in 70 human duodenums to observe the location of major duodenal papilla. Materials & Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted in the department of Anatomy, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka from July 2010 to June 2011. Seventy postmortem human duodenums were collected from unclaimed dead bodies that were under examination in the morgue of department of Forensic Medicine and the department of Anatomy of Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka. Location of major duodenal papilla was observed and recorded. Results: The location of major duodenal papilla was observed in the medial wall of second part of duodenum in 78.6% specimens, in the posteromedial wall of second part in 15.7% cases and in the posteromedial wall of the junction between second and third part in 4.3% and absent in 1.4% duodenum. Conclusion: The location of major duodenal papilla varies in position. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bja.v12i1.22614 Bangladesh Journal of Anatomy, January 2014, Vol. 12 No. 1 pp 22-24

Therapist Responses

A questionnaire study and an observational study were conducted to investigate reliability among physical therapists in diagnosing and treating gait deviations in hemiplegics. In Study 1, groups of 3 therapists independently filled out questionnaires on each of 10 patients to determine the extent to which therapists agree on deviations to be treated and on treatment approach. In Study 2, raters observed gait training classes and independently scored the frequency of a variety of ongoing therapist responses and the frequency of specified gait deviations being treated in the patients. The aims of this study were to determine whether observers agreed on frequencies of therapist and patient responses, to assess quantitatively whether different therapists differ in their treatment approaches, and to determine whether some of the observed therapists produce greater changes in frequency of gait deviations than others. The results of Study 1 suggested rather poor agreement among therapists as to the major gait deviations to be treated and the preferred approaches to treatment of the individuals observed. Study 2 indicated high agreement among raters scoring both therapist and patient responses and suggested differences in observed treatment approaches and differences in degree of change produced by different therapists. Results, observations, and the need for further research were discussed.
