Abstract Ovarian cancer (OC) is a complex multifactorial malignancy, ranking as second most common reproductive cancer in India. The purpose of this study was to compare whether different characteristics combined with hormonal and genetic influence among the urban, rural and tribal populations affected with OC would have a significant impact on OC incidence. To address this challenge, we designed a statistical approach that combines individual-level epidemiological data from both OC patients and controls from designed study populations using questionnaires. A total of (n=72) OC patients were obtained from several oncological clinics, hospitals and population-based surveys from various districts of South Indian population. Using validated hormonal biomarkers, we estimated hormonal profiles in both OC subjects and controls to measure the role of hormones in OC severity and incidence. Further we conducted mitochondrial gene sequencing, we found 5 nucleotide changes among which MT9140 C>T) was the predominant in OC subjects. In conclusion, this kind of study would be the first of its kind, where population-based epidemiological surveys serve as keys for comparing the characteristic factors and genetic influence associated with OC incidence. Hence, we strongly recommend that frequent conduction of epidemiological studies and health awareness camps would be beneficial to overcome such lethal conditions.

Background: Low back pain is a very common symptom. Population based normal variations of lumbar wedging (LW) in South Indian population is not well documented in literature. This study was done to compile a database of LW valid for healthy male and female subjects in the age range of 20-60 years in South Indian population. Methods: The plain lateral radiographs of lumbar spine of 150 healthy subjects (88 males and 62 females) between 20 to 60 years were studied. The lumbar vertebral body height anteriorly (HBA) and posteriorly (HBP) were measured using CR-35X digitizer. The degree of LW was determined by the ratio of HBA /HBP. Results: There was a gradual decrease in LW cranio-caudally from L1 to L5 in both sexes being maximum at L1 (0.96 in males and 0.97 in females) and minimum at L5 (1.13 in males and 1.13 in females). LW was higher in males than in females. LW is statistically significant only at L3 level and non significant at all other levels. Positive relationship of LW to age was not found. Conclusion: The study provide the best available estimates of normal LW for the South Indian healthy subjects, which will be helpful to the clinicians, therapists and researchers as ready references to LW in South Indian population.

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.
