Background: Anthropometry is the science that deals with the measurement of size, weight and proportion of humanbody. Measurements of long bones play an important role in the estimation of stature of individuals in palaeoanthropologyand forensic investigations.Objectives: The objectives of this study were to determine length and weight of humerus in Nepalese population and tocompare these with the data from other population for use in forensic and archaeological studies.Methods: This is a descriptive study. A total of 200 (100 right, 100 left) humerus bones were included. The Maximumhumerus length (mm) was measured by osteometric board and weight (g) of the humerus was measured by electronicweighing machine.Results: The mean and standard deviation for humerus length and weight of humerus were found to be 308.580±19.169mm and 122.261 g for right humerus and 307.270±16.1301 mm and 118.473 g for left humerus respectively.Conclusion: In conclusion, our measurements on the humerus have demonstrated that the length and weight ofhumerus in Nepalese population is similar to that of other country population values.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jkmc.v2i1.10550Journal of Kathmandu Medical College, Vol. 2, No. 1, Issue 3, Jan.-Mar., 2013, page : 25-27

Background Epicrania fugax consists of brief paroxysms of pain, which radiate in a line or in zigzag trajectory across the surface of the scalp or the face. Methods A prospective, descriptive study was performed in five patients presenting with an epicrania fugax-type pain with extracephalic irradiation. Results All patients were women, and the mean age at onset was 59.8 (standard deviation, 10.9). They had unilateral paroxysms of electrical pain starting at a particular point in the head (parietal, n = 3; vertex, n = 1; frontal, n = 1) and rapidly radiating downwards in a lineal trajectory to reach extracephalic regions (ipsilateral limbs, n = 2; shoulder, n = 2; low neck, n = 1) in 1–3 seconds. Pain intensity was moderate or severe. Three patients had nummular headache at the point where the paroxysms originated. One patient had spontaneous remission, and four patients achieved complete or almost complete response with therapy (onabotulinumtoxinA, n = 2; indomethacin, n = 1; amitriptyline, n = 1; lamotrigine, n = 1). Conclusion The spectrum of epicrania fugax may include paroxysms with extracephalic irradiation. The propagation of pain beyond the head and the face supports the involvement of central mechanisms in the pathophysiology of this entity.

El conocimiento del número y posición de los forámenes nutricios en los huesos largos es importante en los procedimientos ortopédicos, tales como la terapia de reemplazo de articulaciones, reparación de fracturas, injertos de hueso y micro-cirugía de hueso vascularizado. El presente estudio se llevó a cabo en el departamento de Anatomía, Colegio Médico Gubernamental de Amritsar. El estudio comprendió 100 tibias de humanos adultos obtenidas de 50 cadáveres masculinos y 50 femeninos. Todos los huesos del presente estudio presentaban el foramen nutricio situado en el tercio superior del eje y se dirigían hacia abajo. En la mayoría de los huesos, se encuentró lateral a la línea vertical en la superficie posterior de la diáfisis tibial. Las distancias medias de foramen nutricio de los extremos superior e inferior de la tibia eran mayores en los hombres en ambos lados. Además, estas mediciones mostraron valores más altos en los huesos de la mitad derecha. El conocimiento preciso de la ubicación de la forámenes nutricios en los huesos largos es útil en la prevención de las lesiones intra-operatorias en cirugía ortopédica, así como en cirugía plástica y reconstructiva y también es relevante en la práctica médico-legal. An understanding of the number and position of nutrient foramina in long bones is important in orthopedic procedures such as joint replacement therapy, fracture repair, bone grafts and vascularized bone microsurgery. The present study was conducted in the department of Anatomy, Govt. Medical College Amritsar. The study group comprised of 100 adult human tibiae obtained from 50 male and 50 female cadavers. All the bones of the present study depicted single nutrient foramen situated in the upper one third of the shaft and were directed downwards. In majority of the bones, it was located lateral to the vertical line on the posterior surface of tibial shaft. The mean distances of nutrient foramen from the upper and lower ends of tibia were found to be greater in males on both the sides. Also, these measurements showed higher values in the right sided bones.Precise knowledge of the location of the nutrient foramina in long bones is helpful in preventing intra-operative injuries in orthopedic as well as in plastic and reconstructive surgery and is also relevant in medicolegal practice.

(SUMMARY) Objective: The study was conducted to determine the HBV vaccination status in health care workers of Muhammad Medical College Mirpurkhas. Study design, Setting & Duration of Study: This was a descriptive study carried out at Muhammad Medical College Mirpurkhas, from December 2007 to February 2008. Subjects & Methods: Total 480 health care workers were included; both male and female. Vaccination status & other data were filled on preformed Questionnaire proforma, if vaccinated or not. And if vaccinated either complete or incomplete. Results: Total 480 health care workers were studied, including 300 (62.5%) male and 180 (37.5%) females. The mean age was 34±8.7 and 36 ± 9.3 years in vaccinated and non-vaccinated subjects respectively. A total of 255 (53.15%) were vaccinated, including 215 males and 40 females. A 225 (44.875%) patients were non-vaccinated including 85 males and 140 females. The prevaccination HBsAg status was checked and found negative in all the subjects. The frequency of vaccination was highest among house officer 55 (91.66%) and lowest in the sanitary workers 3 (11.5%). The most common reason of not being vaccinated was non-affordability (high cost of vaccine). C o n c l u s i o n s : We conclude that a substantial number of health care workers are not vaccinated. So it demands a need for a more aggressive approach to be vaccinated and vaccine must be cost effective.

BACKGROUND Nutrient foramina are seen in the shaft of long bones. They vary in number, size and their position on the surface of bones. It transmits the nutrient artery which is the main source of blood supply to the long bones. We intend to study the location, number, type and direction of primary nutrient foramina (PNF) on the shaft of tibia. METHODS The descriptive study was done using 120 tibiae (right-66, left-54) from Department of Anatomy, Govt. Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram. Length of each bone and distance of the nutrient foramen from the upper end of tibia was measured using osteometric board. The location of the primary nutrient foramina on the surface of tibia, the direction of the nutrient canal and the presence of secondary nutrient foramina were noted. RESULTS Single primary nutrient foramina were located on the posterior surface of 113 tibiae. 4 tibiae showed PNF and secondary nutrient foramina (SNF). No nutrient foramina were observed in 3 tibiae. CONCLUSIONS The precise knowledge and topography of PNF of tibia will help orthopaedic surgeons in minimising damage to vasculature of tibia during various surgical procedures.

ABSTRACT Objectives: To describe and analyze the coverage profile of directly observed treatment for tuberculosis in 59 priority municipalities in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, through the creation and comparison of groups homogenized by the number of people in each municipality from 2006 to 2012. Method: Quantitative, epidemiological and descriptive study based on the data available in the EPI-TB and the Statistica 7.0 software databases. Results: The mean and standard deviation of directly observed treatment for the 59 priority municipalities of the state of São Paulo were 77.0 ± 24.3%. The coverage of directly observed treatment increased in 34 municipalities (57.6%) but decreased in 25 (42.4%). Conclusion: Some municipalities could not keep the coverage reached at some point. This coverage heterogeneity should be examined in detail by searching for possible reasons in political-management, technical-operational and funding dimensions.
