Abstract Aim- 1. The aim of this study was to investigate the average maximum range of inter-incisal mouth opening in a representative sample of the adult subjects of Haryana. 2. To see any correlation between maximal inter-incisal opening with age. Methods- Maximum mouth opening was studied in 756 adult subjects with age range of 20-50 years in Yamunanagar, Haryana. Age limit was further divided into three groups (20-30, 31-40, 41-50). Those with clinical history of TMJ involvement, OSMF, any trauma, odontogenic and non-odontogenic infections, dental prosthesis on the anterior teeth, congenital anomalies in the maxillofacial region were excluded from this study. The measurements were recorded twice and mean of the two values were taken. Statistical Analysis- Independent sample t-test was calculated to compare age and mouth opening in both male and females respectively. Bivariate pearson correlation was used to see any relationship between age and mouth opening. P-value ≤ 0.05 and CI (confidence interval) at 95% were considered statistically significant. The Results- The average mouth opening of males (45.36±6.70 mm) subjects was higher as compared to female (41.27 ± 6.75 mm) with significant, p-value 0.000. The mean mouth opening ± SD for both sexes combined was 43.39 ± 7.02 mm. The corresponding values for mean inter-incisal opening in male population aged 20-30, 31-40, 41-50 were 45.52 ± 7.15, 46.16 ± 5.47, 42.96 ± 6.82 mm and in female population aged 20-30, 31-40, 41-50 were 41.40 ± 7.08, 41.60 ± 6.29 and 40.03 ± 6.38 mm respectively. Conclusion- Maximal mouth opening differ significantly with gender. There is a decrease in MMO with older age group.

Objective: To determine the maximum mouth opening (MMO) in Pakistani adult population and its possible correlation with sex and age. Design of the Study: It was a cross-sectional study. Study Settings: This study was carried out at Outpatient Department of Dentistry Combined Military Hospital, Lahore from January 2019 to July 2019. Material and Methods: The study involved 894 adults’ patients having 463 males and 431 females patients age in the range of twenty one year to seventy years. The patients were asked maximally open their mouth and keep it open until no further opening of mouth possible. Then with the help of calibrated fiber ruler distance was measured from incisal edge of the upper incisor teeth to the incisal edge of the lower incisor teeth. To check the correlation of mouth opening with age a Pearson correlation analysis was done and significance of the test was checked by applying the independent sample T-test will be applied taking p value of ≤0.05 as statistically significant. A written informed consent was obtained from every patient. Results of the Study: For males mean maximum opening of mouth was observed as 51.4±8.1 mm having its range 38 to 70. Mean maximum opening of mouth for females was observed as 43.1±5.9 mm having age range 37 to 55 mm. In 21 to 30 years age group the opening of mouth was 39.90 ± 5.02 mm for female’s patients and 40.26 ± 5.26 mm for male patients. In 31 to 40 years age group the opening of mouth was 39.54 ± 4.69 mm for females and for female’s patients it was 40.24 ± 4.55 for male patients. In 41 to 50 years age group MMO was 40.24 ± 5.02 mm for females and was 40.97 ± 4.79 mm for males. In age 51 to 60 years age group the equivalent values for males were 41.54 ± 5.49 and for females41.04 ± 5.63 mm. In 61 to 70 years age group the corresponding values for females and males were 40.33 ±5.55 mm and41.25 ± 6.04 respectively. Conclusion: The mean MMO for males was 51.4 ± 8.2 and for females was 43.1 ± 6.7. The opening of the mouth looks to reduce with age. The opening of mouth of females is not as much of the males in the all groups of age. Keywords: Maximum mouth opening (MMO), Age, Sex

Introduction: Trauma has been the leading cause of mortality and morbidity. However, there are changes in pattern of trauma and their outcomes with time. Aim: To study the mode and nature of injury and mortality associated with trauma of head, chest and abdomen. Materials and Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted on 1000 individuals that presented to emergency surgery ward from 2014 to 2019. Patients presented to emergency surgery of Government Medical College, Amritsar, Punjab, India were observed for various characteristics i.e., age group, mode of injury, site of injury, outcomes and management. Results: The mean age of patients was 33.91±16.29 years with significant male predominance (n=794, 79.4%) (p-value 0.00001). Road Traffic Injuries (RTIs) were the most common mode of trauma affecting 490 patients (49%). Head injury was the most common of all injuries (n=834). Overall mortality was 3.6% (n=36). Mortality was higher in males (p-value 0.00933) and mortality rate of 25% was seen in age group of 61-70 years. Conclusion: RTIs followed by assaults are the most common cause of trauma and it significantly affects young male population. However, mortality rate increases with increase in age group with higher rates in older age groups.

Anterior tooth fractures are more commonly found in younger patients than in adults. Kids in school accidentally fall and break their anterior tooth. It not only has an impact on aesthetics but physiological disturbances due to their friends. The aim of this study is to assess the gender difference in patients who underwent root canal treatment in anterior teeth after trauma. The data was collected from the dental information archiving software of saveetha dental college, from June 2019 to March 2020. The parameters collected were age, gender, a tooth which had undergone trauma. The data was collected and tabulated in the excel sheet and was transferred to the SPSS software by IBM for statistical analysis like chi-square test between trauma teeth and age and gender and traumatized tooth. This study reveals that males had a higher incidence of fracture than females and they belonged to the age group of 2-4 years with a P-value of 0.213 >0.05 (statistically insignificant).   This study concludes that male children are more prone for anterior tooth fracture than the female children, and they must be educated on the importance of teeth and safety during sporting or any other physical activities.

Background/Aim. Oesophageal cancer is the sixth most common cause of death from all malignant tumors in the world (fifth in men, eighth in women). This cancer was estimated to account for about 529 000 new cases and about 442 000 deaths in the year 2007. In the year 2002 the highest standardized mortality rates (per 100 000 habitants) of oesophageal carcinoma were noticed in the East Asia (men/women: 18.8/7.7) and East Africa (18.6/7.8), while the lowest were noticed in the Middle Africa (1.4/0.2) and West Africa (1.3/0.5). The aim of this descriptive epidemiologic study was to analyze epidemiologic situation of oesophageal cancer in Belgrade population during the period 1989-2006, using mortality data. Methods. Mortality data were collected from the City Organization for Statistics. In data analysis we used mortality rates which were standardized directly using those of the world population as the standard, and proportions. A denominator for mortality rates was calculated using the Belgrade population which was an average of the two latest register years (1991 and 2002). In order to analyze trend mortality from oesophageal cancer we used linear trend. Results. In Belgrade deaths from oesophageal cancer accounted for about 5.2% of all malignant tumors of intestinal system in male population, and 2.4% in female population. This cancer is, according to standardized mortality rates (per 100 000 habitants), on the fifth place in Belgrade population behind colorectal, stomach, pancreatic, liver and cholecystic cancer. During the period 1989-2006 in Belgrade 44 persons died from oesophageal carcinoma on the average each year, mainly men (75%), and the rest were women (25%). In male population during the same period we noticed a significant increase in trend mortality (y = 1.61 + 0.06x, p = 0.001), while in female population the increase of mortality was not significant. The male/female oesophageal cancer mortality ratio was 3:1. Mortality rates for oesophageal cancer rise with age in both sexes and they are highest in the age group of 70 and more years. Significant increase in mortality from oesophageal cancer was noticed in age groups 20-29 and over 70 in male population, and age group 40-49 in female population. Conclusion. Increasing trend in oesophageal mortality suggests the necessity for improving measures of primary prevention including education about risk factors for this carcinoma (smoking, alcohol consumption, hot food and drinks), early diagnosis, and treatment.

Introduction: Globally, reproductive health and quality of life among female population has been found to be unsatisfactory in developing world. Until 1963, Nepal’s 1854 legal code known as MulukiAin was revised numerous times that banned abortion exempting risk of women’s life. Enactment of New Abortion Policy from 2003 brought landmark reforms to the women’s choice in family planning methods and ended the sufferings of lengthy prison sentences for abortion crimes. This study was conducted to explore the level of awareness about abortion law with regard to health care utilization among women of reproductive age group along with its association with socio-demographic characteristics. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted in March 2014, in Inarwa Municipality among women of reproductive age group (16 to 49 years). Convenient sampling was done to collect data from households. Data was entered and analyzed in SPSS 11.5 and presented in tabular form. Chi-square test was used to show association of awareness of abortion law and socio-demographic variables. Results: education, age at first marriage and age at 1st pregnancy was found to be significant (p value: <0.005). Conclusion: As media was the most used source of information, more education on awareness of abortion law and health care utilization should be disseminated through this medium.

Abstract Background: Empathy is an essentiality among the medical fraternity. Literature indicates better competency, patient compliance and clinical outcomes in relation to higher levels of empathy. Gender differences in empathy level are universal and various factors influence it. So it's quintessential to understand empathy and its correlates among medicos in India. Aims: To evaluate changes in empathy levels of the M.B.B.S students of a renowned medical college in India, during their course in the first year. Materials and methods: A prospective study was carried out among hundred 1st year medical students [M=34, F= 66] enrolled at a medical college in Kerala during the academic year 2014 - 2015. Participants completed the Jefferson Scale of Empathy [Student Version]. Results: The mean empathy at the entry & exit points of the study stood at 112 ± 11.39 & 112.07 ± 13.98 respectively. Comparing the male & female population, the females had higher empathy levels. When comparing the empathy levels at the entry & exit points of the male population, significant decline [p value= 0.001] was seen. The female population showed a significant increase [p value= 0.001] in their empathy levels over the same period. Conclusion: There were significant changes in empathy levels of the male & female population, though discernable changes in the whole population were not evident. This study necessitates further follow up of the present students, to analyze the changes occurring over the entire period of medical school.

. Objective: 1) To have an overview of epidemiological factors. 2) To determine the outcome of victims. Study design:Descriptive study. Setting: MU-III Allied Hospital Faisalabad. Period: From June 2007 to Dec 2008 Materials and Methods: 484 consecutivepatients who were admitted, from June 2007 to December 2008, in Medical unit III with history of having organophosphorus poisoning wereanalyzed for the epidemiological factors, time to arrive in the hospital, conscious level, mode of poisoning (homicidal, suicidal or accidental)treatment given and outcome. Results: The results of the study showed that age 14-30 years is the major group involved in poisoning 87.9%as compared to ages 31-45years (10.5%) and age more then 45 years (12%), also age group 14-30 years is having more suicidal tendenciesas well as accidental poisoning and these tendencies decrease with increasing age (p value=0.000). Male victims are more as compared tofemale victims (52.9% vs. 46.7%) in the study group. Suicidal tendencies as well as homicidal poisoning is more in female (n= 127 and 44,respectively) while accidental poisoning is more in male population (n=106), (p value=0.001). Urban population is more at risk of poisoning inall three, homicidal, suicidal and accidental, as compared to the rural population (p vale=0.018). Importantly in study is showed that out comeof the poisoning from organophosphorus is directly proportional to the interval between poisoning and presentation in emergency ward (p value=0.000), conscious level of the victim (p value = 0.000) and does not depend upon the mode of management (oxime or atropine) (p value 0.026).Conclusions: Younger urban population have increased tendency of poisoning with a dominance of female population. Rapidity of treatment,time to arrival to hospital and conscious level at presentation are the factors deciding outcome of a given patient rather than the mode oftreatment (oximes and atropine both are equally effective).
