Objective: The present study is an attempt to determine the various types of bony modifications on the dorsum of the neck of the human tali of both feet due to the continuous habit of squatting in humans and correlating these findings to the existing literature. Materials and Methods: 70 tali of unknown sex, obtained from the Department of Anatomy of MVJ Medical College and Research Hospital, Bangalore were used for the study. The dorsal surface of talar neck was carefully examined for the presence of medial and lateral squatting facets, combined facets, continuous gutter shaped facets and extension of trochlear surface. The collected data were tabulated and percentage of each facets and trochlear extensions were calculated. Statistical analysis of data was performed. Results: Out of 70 dry human tali, lateral squatting facets were present in 29 (41.4%) bones and medial squatting facets were seen in 11 (15.7%) bones, gutter shaped facets in 12 (17.1%) tali and combined facet present in 10 (14.2%) tali. Complete absence of facet was observed in 8 tali. Lateral extension of trochlear surface on the dorsum of neck was seen in 60 (85.7%) bones and medial trochlear extension was seen in 8(11.5%) bones. Lateral squatting facets were more common on right side but medial, gutter and combined facets though less frequent were seen more on left side. Lateral extensions were more commonly seen than medial extensions. Conclusion: The knowledge of incidence of these modifications on the dorsal surfaces of neck of the talus acts as a key anthropological factor to identify the racial and regional origin of unclaimed skeleton. Hence the results of this study will be of great help for forensic experts, anthropologist who are handling the unidentified skeletons. KEY WORDS: Squatting Facets, Talus, Trochlear extensions, Sub Talar Joint Stability.

Objectives. To evaluate the role of angiogenesis tumor marker CD31 in the detection of precancerous and cancerous cervical lesions and to compare its efficacy with colposcopy and histopathology. Materials and Methods. 230 patients with a suspicious looking cervix and an abnormal Pap smear attending the Outpatient Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of GSVM Medical College were subjected to a colposcopic examination. 180 patients with suspected colposcopic findings were subjected to a colposcopic directed biopsy. Biopsy tissues were sent for histopathological examination out of which 50 biopsied samples were sent for immunostaining of CD-31. Statistical analysis was done. Results. Comparison of microvessel density (MVD) count by haematoxylin and eosin staining (HE) and immunostaining of CD31 in preinvasive group were and , respectively, and in invasive group were and , respectively, which showed that MVD was higher by CD31 both in preinvasive and invasive group, and it was statistically significant. Conclusion. Angiogenesis is a marker of tumor progression, and CD31 fixes up vessel better as compared to HE, so aggressiveness of the tumor can be better predicted by MVD-CD31 as compared to MVD-HE.

Introduction: In human anatomy the acetabulum is a cavity on the lateral aspect of the hip-bone. The purpose of this study is to record the depth and diameter of the acetabulum cavity to accumulate morphological data helpful for anthropologists, Forensic medicine experts and orthopedicians. Materials And Methods: The study was done on 88 adult human hip bones (42 right and 46 left) collected from Department of Anatomy, Govt.T.D Medical College, Alappuzha, Kerala state. The diameters and maximum depth were measured using digital vernier calliper. The measurements were compared with other studies in the world. The mean diam Results: eter of acetabulum was 48.08 ± 3.21mm, 44.16 ± 2.60 mm in male and female respectively. The mean ± S.D value of depth was 29.11± 2.37 and 27.20± 2.01 mm. in male and female respectively. The correlation between depth and diameter was signicant only in the right male hip bones. There is signicant variation in the Conclusion: anatomical parameters of hip bone between different Indian population groups. The data from this study may be used for designing population specic hip prosthesis.

Eighteen taxa of the genus Jurinea Cass. growing naturally in Turkey were classified by numerical taxonomic analysis. Morphological and palynological characters of each individual were measured and quantified on the basis of 51 traits. Ten plants were chosen randomly for the measurements of metric characters related to the external morphology of the taxa and the average values used for statistical analysis via NTSYS-pc package. Standardized data were used to generate the dendrogram that revealed the phenetic relationships of the taxa. Geographic distribution pattern of the Jurinea species appear to be closely related to the Anatolian Diagonal.

Background: Threatened abortion is till most common cause of early trimester bleeding PV and can be diagnosed and managed by early USG diagnosis. Materials and methods: This was a prospective observational study. Place of the study was Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and Department of Radiodiagnosis, Midnapore Medical College and Hospital from January 2019 to June 2020. Eighteen months. Result: When the clinical method to diagnose threatened miscarriage was compared to the sonographic method, it was evident that sonographic method was reliable than the clinical method and the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion: In case of missed miscarriage and complete miscarriage, although the percentage of discrepancy was 100%, on further statistical analysis, the discrepancy was not statistically significant. And the cause behind this was probably inadequate sampling.

CorrigendumThere is correction in the Journal of Dhaka Medical College, April 2009 issue (Vol. 18, No. 1). In the original article titled "Treatment of vitiligo with autologous epidermal transplantation using the roof of suction blisters, first in Bangladesh", the name of the first author will have to be read Khondoker MS instead of Khundkar SH, and in address of correspondence Dr. Md. Sajjad Khondoker instead of Prof. Shafquat Hussain Khundkar at page no. 58.On 15/02/2011, the first author's name was changed from SH Khundkar to MS Khondoker on the online edition of the journal on BanglaJOL.We report our experience of autologous epidermal transplantation for 30 (Thirty) patients with vitiligo. The vitiligo in 25 (Twenty five) patients was stable whereas in the rest (5) it was active. Autologous epidermal transplantation was performed using suction blister roofs from normal pigmented skin to vitiligo skin that was failed to repigment using topical steroid and/or psoralenultraviolet- A treatment. Grafts were well taken in all the patients. Only three of them are presented as case report in this article. There were no complications except mild hyper pigmentation at the donor areas. For the patient who had active vitiligo, depigmentation of the graft and concomitant Koebner‘s phenomenon at the donor site were observed 3 weeks after the procedure. We conclude that autologous epidermal transplantation using the roof of suction blisters is an excellent and safe regimenting procedure for stable, localized vitiligo and the active disease precludes transplantation. Key words: Epidermis surgery; vitiligo therapy; transplantation alutologous. DOI: 10.3329/jdmc.v18i1.6308 J Dhaka Med Coll. 2009; 18(1) : 58-63

Abstract Background and Aim of the study: Vagus the wanderer is the tenth cranial nerve with long extra cranial course. Below the bifurcation of trachea, the right and left vagi form plexus around the oesophagus before they enter the abdomen as anterior and posterior vagal trunks. There are variations in the contribution by the right and left vagi for the formation of oesophageal plexus and according to Chamberlin and Winship there are three different patterns in the formation of peri oesophageal plexus. The present study was aimed to study the formation of perioesophageal plexus, incidence of different patterns of peri oesophageal plexus in south Iudian population and the number of vagal trunks formed from the oesophageal plexus in the lower end of the oesophagus. Materials and Methods : The formation of perioesophageal plexus Gulae was studied in forty four autopsy specimens of oesophagus and stomach and six foetal specimens at Institute of Anatomy, Madras Medical College, Chennai. Results : The formation of perioesophageal plexus and the number of fibres from the right and left vagus nerves which contribute to the plexus formation were studied. There were significant differences in the formation of plexus Gulae. There were variations in the pattern of perioesophageal plexus and the number of vagal trunks arising from the plexus. The results of the present study in South Indian population were compared with the results in the Western population. Conclusions : Awareness regarding the presence of plexus Gulae and number of vagal trunks related to lower end of oesophagus has considerable importance in the surgical repair of hiatus hernia and while treating atrial fibrillation.

AbstractIn this study the foramen magnum was analyzed for sex differences using standard osteometric techniques.We analyzed 100 (55 males and 45 females) skulls from the department of Anatomy, Yenepoya Medical College which were in good condition with a record of sex. The cranial base was visually assessed for foramen magnum shape. Morphometry (anteroposterior diameter (APD)& Transverse diameter (TD)) was determined and their differences by gender (p <0.05) were ascertained.Oval shape was the most common followed by round, tetragonal and pentagonal in both sex. The results demonstrated that sexual dimorphism is present in the foramen magnum. APD and TD were higher in male skulls than females (34.04 vs 31.72 and 28.63 vs 26.59).In incomplete skeletons, metric analysis of the foramen magnum may provide a statistically useful indication as to sex of the unknown skull.
