Abstract Aim To measure the size of tentorial notch in Indian population, compare it with the western population from the literature available, and analyze the relation between size of tentorial notch and the outcome in patients with head injury. Materials and Methods The study was done using 10 cadavers and 15 autopsy specimens. In all the specimens, tentorial incisura was measured using vernier caliper after opening the skull and cutting the midbrain at the level of tentorial edge carefully without damaging the tentorium. All measurements were done in millimeters. Results Mean values, age-dependent mean values, and percentile values were calculated for various parameters in the tentorial incisura. Majority of the tentorial incisura are of typical type. Cases of tentorial incisura are significantly smaller in the age group of 20 to 25 years. Rate of deterioration of Glasgow coma scale (GCS) is rapid when the tentorial incisura is large. Conclusion There were no significant variations in measurements of tentorial incisura in Indian population compared with the western population. Rate of deterioration of GCS is higher in patients who had large tentorial incisura compared with other groups, which is statistically significance. However, this is to be confirmed by further study using large groups of patients to be used for clinical applications.

The problem, or rather the series of related problems, which concerns the antiquity of man in the New World is complex and its ramifications involve many different phases of anthropology, as well as a large number of related sciences. I intend to deal only with those aspects of the general problem which have to do with the physical character of the earliest inhabitants of North and South America. In this fashion, any consideration of the antiquity of artifacts or other material which reveals the presence of man in early times will be excluded. For the rest, my consideration of these matters resolves itself into two parts: a discussion of the nature and probable antiquity of skulls and skeletons to which has been attributed some geological antiquity, and then a brief consideration of the related problem of presumed inter-racial differences in both the present and the past Indian population of the New World.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> The larynx besides being used in respiration, performs the function of production of voice. A thorough knowledge of relevant surgical anatomy is a must for any surgeon before performing laryngeal framework surgery (LFS). Most of the relevant anatomic details for LFS are based on Western population and the studies based on Indian population are extremely scarce. We propose to undertake this study in order to understand the relevant anatomy of the thyroid cartilage in adult Indian population and to compare these dimensions with those studied in the western population as available in literature.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> Fifty-two samples of adult thyroid cartilage (35 males and 17 females) taken from cadavers were analysed. Digital Vernier callipers &amp; goniometer were used to take morphometric measurements of the Thyroid cartilage to see for normal variation, sex differences and bilateral asymmetry. Observation were analysed by calculating mean &amp; SD.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Most parameters measured in thyroid cartilage did not show significant difference in males &amp; females. All the parameters of thyroid cartilage except thyroid angle were higher in males than females. Bilateral asymmetry in the size of thyroid lamina was seen in majority of specimens though not statistically significant.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> The detailed study of thyroid cartilage in the form of morphometric parameters of thyroid cartilage is useful for anatomists, radiologists, reconstructive and ENT surgeons. Comparison with other populations in the world reveals that the absolute values differ in different populations which could be due to differences in body built, racial differences and age group of cadavers.</p>
