General Range

The study of middle phalangeal hair on a sample of some 5000 nonrelated subjects of both sexes and different age groups, representing 11 South Indian populations, has shown very limited sex and age variability. The frequencies fall within the general range of Indian population groups. Most of the groups tested show genetic homogeneity.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the deviation of the occlusal plane to three different points of the ala-tragus line among different age group in South Indian population. Incomplete denture prosthetics, there are four basic criteria that every satisfactory denture should achieve. They are aesthetics, phonetics, mastication and comfort. These requirements are attained by adopting proper techniques in complete denture construction. Thus, the exact determinations of the artificial occlusal plane in the upper occlusal rim while jaw registration procedures play an important role in attaining this objective. Considering the importance of the occlusal plane orientation in complete denture prostheses, planes which are steeper or inclined to the occlusal plane can be unaesthetic or cause difficulty in establishing balanced occlusion or centric occlusion, a study is done to evaluate the deviation of the occlusal plane to three different points of ala-tragus line among 15-20 years,20-30 years, 30-40 years age group individuals. Comparison of OP angle measurements with CP1, CP2 and CP3 within the four age groups. In the 15-20 years & 30-40 years age group, CP1 measurement was closest to OP followed by CP2. In the 20-30 year age groups, CP2 measurement was closest to OP followed by CP1. In the 40-50 year age groups, CP2 measurement was closest to OP followed by CP3. This study indicates or younger individual who is less than 40 years when the complete denture is constructed a superior point of external auditory meatus has to be taken as reference point & in an individual who is above 40 middlemost points of external auditory should be taken as reference point.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> The morphology of the proximal femur is a topic of extensive research. The hip joint is one of the most commonly replaced joint. The era of replacement has given rise to various implants that can be used to replace the proximal femur. This present study addresses these issues involving ethnic differences in the geometry of the proximal femur in Indians and its differences between people of various ethnicity.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> The total population that was radiographed was 178 (n=178). There were 78 males and 100 females. The age of the participants were spaced from 25-75 years age groups. The parameters were measured.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> The canal flare index in South-Indians was an average of 3.23 with 70% of the study population having normal CFI (3-4.5), 30% of the population having a stove pipe configuration CFI (&lt;3). Majority of the Indian population favour a un-cemented fixation (70%).</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> In summary all current implants have to be revised on population basis to fit the changing anthropometry of our proximal femur. </p>

Aim: The aim of this survey study was to assess the level of awareness amongst Indian population regarding the COVID-19. Method: A survey was conducted amongst 745 individuals to assess their level of awareness regarding COVID-19 and steps to be taken for its prevention. Result: The results revealed that a considerable percentage of individuals learned about the pandemic through social media and news and were aware of the mode of spread of the virus and also steps to be taken to prevent it from spreading. But considerable percentage of people was also not fully aware regarding the age groups this virus will be affecting. Conclusion: Upon understanding the percentage of people not aware about the age groups this virus will be affecting, keeping in mind good amount of knowledge amongst individuals about maintaining hygiene and social distancing, this survey would help the health care workers to create awareness regarding the effect of this virus on different age groups to help prevent carelessness amongst youth in following the regime.

AbstractQuadriceps femoris is an extensor muscle in the anterior compartment of thigh and is traditionally taught to be composed of four heads. Recently, there is an increased interest in the occurrence of an additional muscle head of quadriceps femoris. But scientific knowledge regarding its incidence is lacking in the South Indian population. This study was done to confirm the presence of the additional head by routine anatomic dissection and radiological imaging techniques. Forty-one formalin fixed human cadaveric lower limbs were dissected and the morphology of the additional head was noted. Retrospective analysis of 88 MRI images of patients was done. The additional muscle head was present in 43.9% of the cadaveric lower limbs and was consistently located between the vastus lateralis and vastus intermedius. It originated from variable portions of the greater trochanter, intertrochanteric line, lateral lip of linea aspera and lateral surface of the shaft of femur and inserted either as a muscle belly or as an aponeurosis into the vastus intermedius (55.6%), vastus lateralis (22.2%) or directly into the base of the patella. It received its vascular supply from branches of the lateral circumflex femoral artery and was innervated by branches from the posterior division of the femoral nerve. In addition, the additional muscle head was identified by MRI and its incidence was reported to be 30.68% for the first time in living subjects. The result of this study provides additional information in understanding the morphology of the quadriceps femoris muscle.
