Background: The fallopian tubes act as conduit for spermatozoa to reach the oocyte and to convey the fertilized (egg) to enter the uterine cavity following fertilization. Problems with the fallopian tubes can lead to infertility. Detailed morphological and histological knowledge is essential for the diagnosis and management of fallopian tube disease.Objective: The purpose of the present study was to identify the inner diameter of ampulla of the fallopian tube and its changes with advancing age.Methodology: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy at Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka, Bangladesh from July 2008 to June 2009 for a period of one (01) year. This present study was performed on post mortem fallopian tubes of Bangladeshi female. Among them lowest age was 12 years and highest age was 50 years. Samples were divided into three differential age groups named asgroup A (10 to 13 years), group B (14 to 45 years), and group C (46 to 50 years). All samples were studied morphologically and histologically.Results: The mean inner diameter of the ampulla of the right and left fallopian tubes ranged from 1.99±0.08 to 3.24±0.27 mm. The difference between all the groups were statistically significant (p < 0.001).Conclusion: The mean difference of the inner diameter of the ampulla of the right and left fallopian tubesbetween groupA and groupB and groupB and groupC were statistically significant; however, there was no significant difference between right and left fallopian tube.Journal of National Institute of Neurosciences Bangladesh, 2018;4(2): 137-140

Context: Kidney volume is a sensitive index of kidney size for the detection of renal abnormalities. It is also excellent predictor of renal function and correlates very well with body indexes. The present study was done on cadaveric specimens to see the age related changes in the volume of the kidney in a Bangladeshi population and to compare with the previous local and foreign studies. Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive study was done in the Department of Anatomy, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka, from July 2008 to June 2009, based on collection of 140 post mortem human kidneys from 70 unclaimed dead bodies which were in the morgue under examination in the Department of Forensic Medicine, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka. All the samples were divided into three age groups including A (10-19 years), B (20-39 years) and C (40-59 years). The length, breadth and thickness of each kidney were measured by using a slide calipers and recorded. Then the volume was determined by using prolate ellipsoid formula i.e. length × breadth × thickness × 0.52. Results: The volume of the right and left kidneys were found 54.46±4.02 cm3 and 53.15±1.98 cm3 in group A, 78.31±10.41 cm3 and 75.90±8.32 cm3 in group B, 74.47±6.22 cm3 and 73.34±6.80 cm3 in group C. No statistically significant difference was found between the right and the left kidney in any group. However, statistically significant differences were evident between A & B and A & C (P<0.001). Conclusion: No difference was found in volume between the right and the left kidney in any group. However, kidney volume was found to increase with advancing age in apparently healthy Bangladeshi people.

Purpose: To characterize the sex- and age-related alterations of the macular vascular geometry in a population of healthy eyes using fundus photography.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 610 eyes from 305 healthy subjects (136 men, 169 women) who underwent fundus photography examination and was divided into four age groups (G1 with age ≤ 25 years, G2 with age 26–35 years, G3 with age 36–45 years, and G4 with age ≥ 46 years). A self-developed automated retinal vasculature analysis system allowed segmentation and separate multiparametric quantification of the macular vascular network according to the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS). Vessel fractal dimension (Df), vessel area rate (VAR), average vessel diameter (Dm), and vessel tortuosity (τn) were acquired and compared between sex and age groups.Results: There was no significant difference between the mean age of male and female subjects (32.706 ± 10.372 and 33.494 ± 10.620, respectively, p &gt; 0.05) and the mean age of both sexes in each age group (p &gt; 0.05). The Df, VAR, and Dm of the inner ring, the Df of the outer ring, and the Df and VAR of the whole macula were significantly greater in men than women (p &lt; 0.001, p &lt; 0.001, p &lt; 0.05, respectively). There was no significant change of τn between males and females (p &gt; 0.05). The Df, VAR, and Dm of the whole macula, the inner and outer rings associated negatively with age (p &lt; 0.001), whereas the τn showed no significant association with age (p &gt; 0.05). Comparison between age groups observed that Df started to decrease from G2 compared with G1 in the inner ring (p &lt; 0.05) and Df, VAR, and Dm all decreased from G3 compared with the younger groups in the whole macula, inner and outer rings (p &lt; 0.05).Conclusion: In the healthy subjects, macular vascular geometric parameters obtained from fundus photography showed that Df, VAR, and Dm are related to sex and age while τn is not. The baseline values of the macular vascular geometry were also acquired for both sexes and all age groups.

Context: Human life begins in the fallopian tube. It receives the oocyte from the ovary and fertilization take place here. It provides nourishment for the fertilized ovum and transports it to the uterus. So the Fallopian tube is one of the vital organs for human fertility. In treatment of infertility (in ART) and in the management of ectopic (tubal) pregnancies, the knowledge of the anatomy of the fallopian tube is necessary. Study Design: Descriptive type of study.Place & period of study: Department of Anatomy, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka from July 2008 to June 2009. Materials: 120 postmortem human fallopian tubes were collected from 60 unclaimed dead bodies that were under examination in the morgue of Department of Forensic Medicine, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka. Methods: The samples were divided into three age groups: Group-A (10-13 years), Group-B (14-45 years) and Group-C (46-50 years). Results: In the present study, the mean (± SD) total length of the right and left Fallopian tubes were 9.60 ± 0.55 cm & 9.28 ± 0.48 cm in group A, 11.54 ± 0.80 cm & 11.28 ± 0.71 cm in Group B and 9.25 ± 0.26 cm & 9.10 ± 0.31 cm in Group C respectively. There was no significant difference between the mean length of right and left Fallopian tubes. The highest mean length was found in group B and lowest mean length was in group C. The difference in mean length of the Fallopian tube between Group A & Group B and Group B & Group C were statically significant (P < 0.001).Conclusion: In this study, it was observed that there was significant change in length of fallopian tubes in relation to age.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/updcj.v1i2.13980 Update Dent.

Context: The ovaries are paired female reproductive and endocrine glands. It is an unique organ in the female body. It undergoes various changes under the influence of hormones which started from prepubertal period and continue up to post menopausal period. Reproductive life span is determined by the histological changes of ovarian follicles. The study was carried out to counting the total number of follicles in relation to age. Study design: Cross sectional, descriptive type of study. Place and period of study: Department of Anatomy, Sir Salimullah Medical College (SSMC), Dhaka from July 2010 to June 2011. Materials: 65 ovaries of Bangladeshi female cadavers age ranging from 5 years to 65 years. Methods: The samples were divided into four different age groups. They were group A or prepubertal group (5-12years), group B or reproductive group (13-45 years), group C or perimenopausal group (46-51years) and group D or postmenopausal group (52-65years). Histological studies were carried out only in right ovary on 24 fresh samples, 6 samples from each group. RESULTS: The mean (±SD) total number of the follicles in the right ovaries were 82.67±2.07, 43.33±8.17, 10.00± 5.47 and 1.17±1.94 per square millimeter in group A, B, C & D respectively. The differences of the mean (±SD) number of the follicles were highly significant (P<0.001) among the all age groups and was significant (P<0.01) when compared between group C with group D. CONCLUSION: Age related changes were observed in the total number of follicles of the ovary. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/updcj.v3i1.17979 Update Dent. Coll. j: 2013; 3 (1): 12-17

Abstract Purpose: To assess the corneal endothelial morphometry in healthy elderly Hispanic eyes.Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional, observational, descriptive, and analytical study was designed to assess by specular microscopy the central region of the corneal endothelium. In a 4-year period, a total of 75 eyes from 42 patients were studied. All eyes included were from patients 65 or older (mean: 73.87±6.86), without ocular disease or surgeries.Results: The mean cell density (MCD) was 2268±597.0 cells/mm2. 44% of patients had polymegethism, with an average coefficient of variation (CV) of 42.04 ± 10.1%. 76% of patients had low pleomorphism, with an average of 42.3 ± 8.9% hexagonal cells. The mean corneal thickness was 537±38.2 μm. There was no statistically significant difference between age groups for MCD, CV, hexagonality and pachymetry (p=>.05). 27% of patients had corneal guttata.Conclusion: This study suggests that the elderly Hispanic population has a high prevalence of polymegethism, pleomorphism and guttata. Surprisingly, the oldest age group (>85) had an above average MCD, low polymegethism and good pleomorphism.

Pathological changes in the prostate gland occur commonly with advancing age including inflammation, atrophy, hyperplasia and carcinoma and a change in volume is also evident. Estimation of volume of prostate may be useful in a variety of clinical settings. A cross-sectional descriptive study was designed to see the changes in volume of the prostate with advancing age and done in the Department of Anatomy, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka from August 2006 to June 2007. The study was performed on 70 post-mortem human prostates collected from the unclaimed dead bodies that were under examination in the Department of Forensic Medicine, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka. The samples were divided into three age groups; group A (10-20 years), group B (21-40 years) and group C (41-70 years). Volume of the sample was measured by using the ellipsoid formula. The mean ± SD volume of prostate was 7.68 ± 3.64 cm3 in group A, 10.61 ± 3.99 cm3 in group B and 15.40 ± 6.31 cm3 in group C. Mean difference in volume between group A and group C, group B and group C were statistically significant (p<0.001). Statistically significant positive correlation was found between age and volume of prostate (r = + 0.579, p < 0.001). Key Words: Prostate; volume; Bangladeshi. DOI: 10.3329/imcj.v4i2.6501Ibrahim Med.
