Introduction: The medial end of clavicle is connected to the upper surface of anterior end of first rib and its costal cartilage by rhomboid ligament which assist the movements of pectoral girdle as well as resist the pull of medial end of clavicle by pectoralis major and sternocleidomastiod muscles. Consequently, the attachment of it on the clavicle produces various patterns like tubercles, grooves, etc. called as the rhomboid impression. This normal variant of rhomboid impression may be interpreted sometimes as pathological lesions like necrosis, osteomyelitis, and tumour. Also, the morphology of rhomboid impression varies in different population. Such study in South Indian population is very much sparse and so this study is planned for. The objective is to it is aimed to estimate the prevalence of various morphology of rhomboid impression, to measure the anthropometry of impression and the distance from the medial end of impression to medial end of clavicle. Subjects and Methods: This descriptive study was carried in 200 adult human dry clavicles of both sides and various patterns of rhomboid impression, anteroposterior and transverse diameter of impression and distance between the medial end of impression and medial end of clavicle was measured with digital vernier caliper. Statistical analysis was done and p-value of < 0.05 is considered to be significant. Results: The most common pattern observed was depression and rough (29%) followed by elevated and rough (28.5%). The resection length of the medial end of clavicle was 11 mm from the medial end of impression to medial end of clavicle. Conclusion: The findings of the present study on the morphology and anthropometry of rhomboid impression of adult human clavicles and the resection length of medial end of rhomboid impression from the medial end of clavicle will provide guidance for the anthropologists, orthopedicians, radiologists, vascular surgeons and in forensic investigations.

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.

Abstract Background: The infra orbital foramen (IOF) situated below infra-orbital margin (IOM) transmits infra­orbital nerve and infra- orbital vessels. The knowledge of the dimension, shape and direction of the IOF has important implications in various surgical and anaesthetic procedures. This will avoid iatrogenic injury to neurovascular bundle emerging from the IOF. Material and methods: Sixty adult dry skulls of unknown sex from the Department of Anatomy and Department of Forensic Medicine were used. IOF on both sides of skulls were assessed for the shape and direction by inspection. The vertical and horizontal diameter of the IOF was measured using a digital Vernier caliper to the nearest millimeters and the results were statistically analyzed. Results: The shape of the IOF was vertically oval in majority of the skulls (37.5%) and was semi lunar shaped in 10.83% of the skull. The IOF was directed infero­medially in about 52.5% of the cases and was directed medially in 6.67% of the cases. The mean transverse diameter was 2.96mm and the mean vertical diameter was 3.7mm. All the above results were compared with studies of previous workers. Conclusion: The present study confirms that there is racial as well as regional variation in the shape and dimensions of IOF, thus emphasizing the need to have morphometric data for South Indian population.

BACKGROUND New corona virus respiratory syndrome is a health emergency due to high infectivity and high case fatality in patients with comorbid conditions like ischemic heart disease. The diagnostic methods of corona virus disease (Covid-19) are still in experimental stage. Hence, a sensitive and specific disease progression marker of Covid-19 is needed. CRP (C-reactive protein) is synthesised by liver. It is elevated in infection and inflammatory conditions as it is an acute phase protein. The purpose of this study was to evaluate CRP as a promising marker for predicting severity of Covid-19 in ischemic heart disease patients and to correlate the impact of CRP with other circulating cardiac biomarkers in different age groups and both sexes. METHODS This is a cross sectional study done among south Indian population mostly from Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. 232 cases were selected and divided into two groups based on age, sex and confirmed Covid-19 positive cases by RT-PCR (Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction), admitted and treated in Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital, Chennai. RESULTS In this study, CRP levels were elevated in the age group of 50 - 70 years (66.96 ± 70.09 mg/dL) than CRP levels of age group 30 - 50 years (82.31 ± 90.23 mg/dL) and P value was found to be significant in the age group of 50 - 70 years. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels were elevated in the age group of 30 - 50 years (380.77 ± 252.23 U/L) than the LDH levels of age group 50 - 70 years (393.53 ± 206.83 U/L) and P value was found to be significant in the age group of 30 - 50 years. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and creatine kinase (CK) levels are the additional cardiac enzymes found to be elevated in this study. CRP showed a positive correlation with LDH (r = 0.221 P < 0.001) in both males (r = 0.06 and P < 0.001) and females (r = 0.45 and P < 0.001) with a significant P value. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves for CRP Vs age group shows a sensitivity of 91.15 % and specificity of 92.52 % and area under curve of 0.556. CONCLUSIONS CRP can be used as a promising marker for early detection and timely intervention of ischemic heart disease in Covid-19 patients especially in the age group of 50 - 70 years and thereby reduces the mortality.

Background: Hip bone, also known as the innominate bone, because it is formed by three independent elements during the sub adult life and is directly involved with child birth. The lateral surface of hip bone has a deep cup shaped acetabulum, bounded by a ridge known as rim of acetabulum articulating with the femoral head. The features of acetabulum are characteristic used for sexual dimorphism and for the design of prostheses in Total Hip Arthroplasty. Materials and Methods: Two hundred un paired acetabular part of dry hip bones were collected for this study (50 right male,50 left male,50 right female and 50 left female) from Vinayaka Mission’s Kirupananda Variyar Medical College, Salem. This study is designed to measure Acetabulum transverse diameter, Acetabulum Superoinferior diameter, Total diameter of acetabulum and Depth of acetabulum. Statistical analysis has been done in acetabulum using SPSS 21.0 software and P values were derived by applying unpaired student T test. Results: In the present study, mean value of left sided Acetabulum transverse diameter, Acetabulum superoinferior diameter, Total diameter of acetabulum and Depth of acetabulum among male and female shows 5.24 & 4.9, 5.99 & 5.30, 5.24 & 4.78, 2.60 & 2.43 respectively and all the values are higher in males than females. The mean value of right sided Acetabulum transverse diameter, Acetabulum superoinferior diameter, Total diameter of acetabulum and Depth of acetabulum among male and female shows 5.20 & 4.71,5.26 & 4.89 ,5.2 & 4.72 ,2.67 & 2.35 respectively. All the right sided acetabular parameters are statistically significantly higher among the males as compared with females (P value <.0001), because of strong skeleton and muscle mass and these parameters have minimal role in formation of birth canal. Conclusion: The study of acetabulum may be helpful to the radiologists in diagnosing congenital hip dysplasia. For orthopaedic surgeons in planning before acetabular surgery and treatment of hip joint fractures and to understand the rarity of primary osteoarthritis. The relation between depth and diameter is of immense importance to the Orthopedicians and Radiologists. KEY WORDS: Total Hip Arthroplasty, Acetabulum.
