The Difference

The central sulcus, which is located between the primary motor and primary somatic sensory cortexes, is an important structure and landmark of the cerebral hemisphere. Localization of the central sulcus is essential before brain tumor resection. Difference of cortical thickness across the banks of the central sulcus is an important indicator for localizing the central sulcus. Cortical thickness varies with age and in many diseased conditions. This Cross-sectional analytical type of study is carried out to establish a normal standard in different age groups for Bangladeshi people in cortical thickness across the central sulcus. The present study was performed on postmortem cerebral hemispheres of 70 Bangladeshi people in different age groups. Total 140 cerebral hemispheres were taken from these cadavers. Among them lowest age was 22 years in both sexes and highest age was 58 years in male and 48 years in female. The samples were divided into four different age groups i.e. Group A (20-29 years), Group B (30-39 years), Group C (40-49 years) and Group D (50-59 years). All the samples were studied morphologically in the Department of Anatomy, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka from January 2010 to December 2010. In the present study, thickness of cerebral cortex across the central sulcus decreased with advancing age. The thickness of anterior bank of central sulcus, thickness of posterior bank of central sulcus and cortical thickness ratio across the central sulcus were 2.64±0.15 to 3.41±0.38 mm, 1.67±0.10 to 2.12±0.22 mm and 1.57±0.03 to 1.62±0.04 respectively. The difference in mean thickness between anterior and posterior bank of central sulcus was statistically significant in all age group (p=0.001). The difference in mean thickness between left and right central sulci was not statistically significant in any age group. The difference in mean thickness of Anterior bank was statistically significant between group A and C (p<0.01), A and D (p<0.01), B and C (p<0.05), B and D (p<0.01) in both left and right central sulci. The difference in mean thickness of posterior bank was significant between group A and C (p<0.01), A and D (p<0.01), B and D (p<0.01) in both left and right central sulci.

This cross sectional, descriptive study was done in the Department of Anatomy, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka from January to December 2009, to determine the proportion of cortex and medulla of the ovary in di_erent age group of Bangladeshi women. This study was based on collection of 140 ovaries of 70 unclaimed female dead bodies from the morgue of Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka. The samples were divided into three age-groups including A (10-13 years), B (14-45 years) & C (46-52 years). Histological slides were prepared by using routine haematoxylin and eosin stain. Ten best prepared histological slides from each age group were examined to determine the thickness of the cortex and medulla & proportion of the thickness of the cortex and the medulla of the ovary were expressed in percentages. The mean proportion of the cortex and the medulla of the right ovary were found 80.83±0.58% and 19.17±0.58% in group A, 86.95±1.14% and 13.05±1.14% in group B, 70.53±1.53% and 29.47±1.53% in group C respectively. The mean proportion of the cortex and the medulla of the left ovary were found 80.63±0.58% and 19.37±0.58% in group A, 86.78±1.14% and 13.22±1.14% in group B, 70.41±1.50% and 29.59±1.50% in group C respectively. The difference in mean proportion of the cortex and the medulla was not signi_cant in between the ovaries. However, the difference in mean proportion of the cortex and the medulla of the ovary between group A & group B, group A & group C and group B & group C were statistically significant.Bangladesh Med J. 2015 Jan; 44 (1): 8-10

Context: The central sulcus, which is located between the primary motor and primary somatic sensory cortex is an important structure and landmark of the cerebral hemisphere. Morphology of the central sulcus varies with age, sex, manual skill, handedness and in many diseases. This study is carried out to establish a normal standard in different age groups in length and depth of the central sulcus. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, analytical type of study was conducted in the department of Anatomy, Dhaka Medical College, on one hundred and forty (140) on human cerebral hemispheres. The samples were divided into four different age groups i.e. Group A (20-29 years), Group B (30-39 years), Group C (40-49 years) and Group D (50-59 years). All the samples were studied morphologically. Results: The mean length of central sulcus was 102.89±3.55 mm to 96.83±3.92 mm in male and 98.00±5.17 mm to 96.29±2.56 mm in female. Depth of the central sulcus was 20.02±2.41 mm to 21.50±2.21 mm in male and 20.50±2.57 mm to 21.36±1.87 mm in female. The difference in mean length of the right central sulcus between male and female was statistically significant in group A (p<0.05) and B (p<0.05). The difference in mean depth of the central sulcus between male and female was not statistically significant in any age groups. No significant difference was found between right and left hemisphere for both length and depth of the central sulcus. The difference in mean length and depth of the central sulcus between different age groups for both left and right hemisphere was not statistically significant in any age group. Conclusion: The length and depth of the central sulcus showed gradual decreasing values with advancing age.

Reproductive age, ovarian reserve and reproductive capability may be determined from the volume of the ovary. A cross-sectional, descriptive study was done in the Department of Anatomy, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka, from January to December 2009, to see the variation in the volume of the ovary with age in Bangladeshi women. The study was performed on 140 post mortem human ovaries collected from 70 unclaimed female dead bodies which were in the morgue under examination in the Department of Forensic Medicine, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka. The samples were divided into three age-groups including group A (10-13 years), group B (14-45 years) & group C (46-52 years). Group A is pre-menarche group, group B represents reproductive age and group C is post menopausal group. The length, breadth and thickness of each ovary were measured by using a slide calipers. Then the volume of each ovary was determined by the product of its length, breadth and thickness multiplied by 0.524, according to the Prolate ellipsoid formula. The mean volume of the right ovary was found higher than that of the left one in all age groups (p<0.001). The difference in mean volume of the ovary between group A & group B, group B & group C (p<0.001) and group A & group C (p<0.01) were also statistically significant. The volume of the ovary increases with age and then gradually starts to decrease from menopause. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bmrcb.v40i1.20323 Bangladesh Med Res Counc Bull 2014; 40: 15-17

Background: Urinary bladder diseases are one of the clinical problems encountered in our daily practice.The incidence of these diseases rises with advanced age. These diseases are diagnosed clinically andconfirmed by various non invasive as well as invasive procedures and wall abnormalities are themost important indicator to diagnose such diseases. All these conditions require medical and surgicalintervention. Thereby knowledge regarding normal capacity of urinary bladder is essential to determinethe physiologic variation of this organ. Therefore, full knowledge about gross and histological features ofthe urinary bladder has hard & fast implication for the investigation, diagnosis and further management.With this background the present study has been designed to evaluate the capacity of urine in postmortemhuman urinary bladder. Objectives: To identify the socio-demographic determinants and to determine thecapacity of urine in post mortem human urinary bladder. Materials and Methods: This was a descriptivetype of longitudinal study. Sample size was estimated by reviewing literatures and by expert opinion and70 human postmortem urinary bladders fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected in thisstudy. This study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy, Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College,Sylhet in collaboration with the Department of Forensic Medicine, Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College,Sylhet from 1st January 2015 to 31st December 2015. Results: The age of the cadaver ranged from 10 to65 years with the mean age of 32.20 (SD ± 14.38) years; 15 (21.40%) cadavers were in the age group of10-20 years, 36 (51.4%) cadavers were in the age group of 21-40 years and 19 (27.1%) cadavers werein the age group 41-65 years. There were 52 (74.3%) male and 18 (25.7%) female with a ratio of maleto female was 2.89:1. The mean capacity was 35.23 (SD ± 7.48) ml. The mean capacity of the urinarybladder was 31.20 ml (SD ± 7.28); 37.92 ml (SD ± 7.31) and 33.32 ml (SD ± 6.13) in the age group of A,B and C respectively. The difference between group A and B was highly significant (p=0.004); betweengroup B and C was significant (p=0.023); but not significant between group A and C (p=0.364). The meancapacity of urinary bladder of male and female did not differ significantly in age group A (p=0.117),group B (p=0.145) and group C (p=0.241). Conclusion: The gross capacity of urinary bladder was foundincreased with age up to certain limit then slightly decreased in the late age. But the capacity did not differsignificantly between male and female. Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.20(1) 2021 p.170-176

Background: Bronchiolitis is an acute, highly communicable lower respiratory tract infection. A variety of agents ranging from nebulised racemic epinephrine, salbutamol and routinely available levoepinephrine have been tried. The Present study was aimed at comparing the effectiveness of adrenaline and salbutamol in acute bronchiolitis in children aged 2 months to 2 years. Materials and Methods: The Present study was conducted at Nobel medical College Teaching Hospital over the period of one year from Feb 2018 to Jan 2019. Two different cohorts were identified in which clinically diagnosed cases and were grouped into Group A and Group B to receive the different drugs as per the study protocol. Respiratory Distress Assessment Instrument (RDAI) Scores was used for clinical assessment. Results: The age of the patients ranged from 2 months to 24 months with a median of 8 months. The males constituting about 57.42% of the study population of 155 patients. On comparing the prenebulisation variables with 10 and 30 minutes post nebulisation values, it was found that Both adrenaline and salbutamol caused overall significant improvement in RR (p-value <0.00001 in both groups) except in the age group of 19-24 months. Adrenaline was seen to be superior to salbutamol in decreasing the RR (p<0.0001) except for children in the age group of 19-24months. Adrenaline also caused greater rise in heart rate in comparison to salbutamol in all age groups. Conclusion: This study concludes that Adrenaline was seen to be superior to salbutamol in decreasing the RR and RDAI, although it showed variance with age.
