Background: Cerebellum is ovoid in shape, but is constricted in the median plane, flattened from above downwards and widest from side to side. The cerebellum occupies the posterior cranial fossa, where it is covered by the tentorium cerebelli and lies behind the fourth ventricle, the pons and the medulla oblongata. Objective: The study was done to assess the transverse diameter of cerebellum in relation with age and sex in Bangladeshi people. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional descriptive study was performed on 60 (32 of male and 28 of female) postmortem. The specimens were collected from morgue in the department of Forensic Medicine, Mymensingh Medical College by purposive sampling technique. All the specimens were grouped into four categories: group A (20 to 29 years), group B (30 to 39 years), group C (40 to 49 years), group D (50 to 59 years). Dissection was performed according to standard autopsy techniques. Transverse diameter of cerebellum was measured with the help of slide caliper. For statistical analysis, differences between age groups were analyzed by using unpaired student't' test. Results: The mean (±SD) transverse diameter of cerebellum was 10.53 ± 0.55 cm in group A, 10.09 ± 0.51 cm in group B, 10.03 ± 0.44 cm in group C, 9.72 ± 0.40 cm in group D. The mean differences of the transverse diameter of cerebellum between groups A & C, A & D, A & B, B &D were statistically significant, differences between B & C, D & C were non significant. Conclusion: The study would help to increase the information pool on the transverse diameter of cerebellum of Bangladeshi people. KYAMC Journal Vol. 9, No.-4, January 2019, Page 159-162

Background: The human adrenal gland shows a distinct proportion of two histological zones, named the cortex and the medulla, from outer inwards, in its histological appearance with differences in its cellular components and functions. Objective: The present study aims to see the variation in the proportion of the cortex and the medulla of the adrenal glands with age in a Bangladeshi population. Methods: A 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 postmortem human adrenal glands from 70 unclaimed dead bodies, in the Department of Forensic Medicine, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka. The samples were divided into four age-groups including A (11-20 years), B (21-30 years), C (31-40 years) & D (41-60 years). Histological slides were prepared by using routine haematoxylin and eosin stain (H & E). Five best prepared slides from each group were examined under light compound microscope with low magnification. The thickness of adrenal cortex and medulla were measured by using ocular and stage micrometer and then converted into percentage volume. Results: The mean volume of the right adrenal cortex were found 83.64±3.71% in group A, 83.90±1.75% in group B, 83.74±5.78% in group C, 84.80±3.82% in group D, while the mean volume of the corresponding medulla were found 18.16±3.23% in group A, 15.70±2.71% in group B, 16.26±3.97% in group C, 16.20±4.04% in group D. The mean volume of the left adrenal cortex were found 84.64±3.49%, 84.90±1.75%, 84.20±3.40%, 85.44±2.66% in group A, B, C and D respectively, while the mean volume of the corresponding medulla were found 17.26±3.84%, 17.00±2.37%, 16.00±3.20% and 14.36±2.33% in group A, B, C and D respectively. The differences among the groups were not statistically significant. Conclusion: No difference was found in the proportion of the cortex and the medulla of adrenal gland in different age-groups.

This study was done to measure the weight of vermiform appendix in Bangladeshi people to augment the data regarding variational anatomy in our setting. A total 100 vermiform appendix (male - 60, female - 40) were excised from cadaver of different age and sex during routine post mortem examination in the autopsy laboratory of Forensic Medicine Department of Mymensingh Medical College. This cross-sectional study was done by convenient sampling technique. The weight depended on length and thickness. The weight decreases gradually with advancing age probably decreasing number of lymphatic follicle and that replaced by connective tissue. Lymphatic follicles were examined and estimated by microscope. For convenience of differentiating the weight of vermiform appendix in relation to age and sex, specimens were categorized in four age groups (up to 20 year, 21 - 35 years, 36 - 55 years, 56 - 70 years). Mean weight of vermiform appendix was maximum in group - B (4.07 ± SE 0.82 gm) and minimum in group D (3.01 ± SE 0.74 gm). The weight range was from 2 gm (group - D) to 5.50 gm (group - B). Diameter of lymphatic follicle was largest 43.08 micrometer in group-A, and least diameter was 3.08 micrometer in group - D. The range of number of lymphatic follicle was 1 to 6. Mean number of lymphatic follicle in male was 4.48 & in female were 5.40.

Background : Ovarian diseases and infertility are the very common health problems among the female population. Alteration in the volume of the ovary occurs throughout the reproductive life which may predispose to ovarian diseases such as cyst, polycystic ovary and ovarian carcinoma. Moreover, the reduction in ovarian volume leading to decrease the fertility of a women also. So the present study is designed to assess the volume of the ovary in Bangladeshi women in different age groups which will provide a complete and standarize the data in Bangladeshi population and also compare the data with other countries. It will provide resourcefull information which may further determine the ovarian reserve and reproductive age of female for improving the accurate diagnosis and management of ovarian diseases as well as infertility problems. Study design: Cross sectional and analytical type of study. Materials: The present study was performed on 65 cadaveric ovaries of both side in Bangladeshi female 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). Results: The mean (±SD) volumes were 2.84 + 0.22 milliliter and 2.83±0.24 milliliter in group A, 8.64 + 0.89 milliliter and 8.61± 0.89 milliliter in group B, 6.85 + 0.79 milliliter and 6.84±0.76 milliliter in group C and 2.62 + 0. 52 milliliter and 2.61± 0.50 milliliter in group D in the right & left ovaries respectively. The highest mean volume was observed in group B and lowest mean volume was in group D in both ovaries. Statistically highly significant difference (P<0.001) were found when group A was compared with group B & C, group B was compared with group C & D and group C was compared with group D. But when group A was compared with group D, it was not significant (P<0.50).The mean difference in volumes of right and left ovary between group A, group B, group C and group D were statistically not significant. Conclusion: In this study, volume of the ovary does not vary in between right and left ovary in any age group. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/updcj.v2i2.15482 Update Dent.

A cross-sectional descriptive study was performed in the Department of Anatomy, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka, from January to December 2008, on post mortem parathyroid glands of 60 Bangladeshi people in different age groups. A total of 207 parathyroid glands were identified in relation to posterior border of thyroid lobes and collected from those 60 cadavers. The samples were collected from the unclaimed dead bodies within 24 hours after death that were under examination in the Department of Forensic Medicine of Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka. The samples were divided into three different age groups ranging from 15 to 75 years. The three groups are group A (10-30 years), group B (31-60 years) and group C (61-90 years). From each group, 20 best prepared slides were taken for examination. The percentage volume of parenchyma (glandular portion) and stroma (fibrous part with blood vessels and fat) were estimated by the point counting technique with Zeiss-I integrating eyepiece under the light microscope at low magnification. The mean SD percentage volume of parenchyma varies 64.88 2.75 to 65.90 2.33 in group A, 56.40 12.57 to 59.10 3.87 in group B and 38.80 2.77 to 41.50 2.38 in group C.
