Indian Origin

Torus Palatinus or Palatine torus is a benign bony exostosis that exists on the hard palate along the mid-palatal or interpalatine suture. Although smaller tori are clinically asymptomatic, bigger ones may require surgical intervention.This study is an attempt to analyze the incidence of palatine tori in East Indian population and to assess any signicant sexual variation between male and female crania. In the present study, 96 skulls (60 male and 36 female) from different medical colleges of West Bengal were examined at Department of Anatomy, N.R.S. Medical College, Kolkata, West Bengal between 2017-2019 to observe the presence of torus on the hard palate. While 8.33% of the total sample showed the presence of palatine torus; no statistically signicant sex difference was noted in its prevalence in male and female skulls. Male skulls were documented with a 10% prevalence rate while female skulls were found to have a 5.55% prevalence of Torus Palatinus. This data is not only useful in comparing skulls of various races but also bears importance in dentistry and facio-maxillary operative interventions.

Background: The estimates of maternal mortality can only be used as a rough indicator of maternal health situation in any given country. High maternal mortality reflects not only in inadequacy of health care services for mothers, but also a low standard of living and socio economic status of the community. Objective was to assess the maternal mortality ratio (MMR), its probable causes and changing trends.Methods: The present study conducted at Midnapore Medical College (MMC), West Bengal. Data for analysis were collected from medical college record section and maternal death registrar book after having permission from higher authority of the college during the period from January 2009 to 2018 December. Total sample size for this period was 249. Statistical analysis was done through SPSS software.Results: Ten years data analysis of 249 subjects showed that total live births from January 2009 to December 2018 was 1,39,126 with MMR 178.97%. Hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (40.56%) was the leading direct cause of maternal death followed by hemorrhage (24.49%) and septicemia (10.84%). Heart disease (6.42%) was the major indirect cause of death followed by anemia (3.6%). Maternal death rate found high among primi gravida (59.43%) mothers and within 20 years age group (46.18%).Conclusions: Most maternal deaths are preventable by proper antenatal care, early diagnosis of high risk factors, timely referral to tertiary care centre along with community upliftment especially in rural and tribal based population.

Abstract Malnutrition is a leading cause of child mortality in India. To counteract this problem, a nutrition supplementation programme has been operating under the Integrated Child Development Service (ICDS) scheme in India since 1975. Recently, the Composite Index of Anthropometric Failure (CIAF) has been implemented to measure the seriousness and severity of overall under-nutrition in a population. Since this index presents a more complete picture than the previous three conventional measures. CIAF is utililized in this study which focuses on the overall burden of under-nutrition determination in pre-school children in Purba Medinipur, West Bengal, India. Our study was conducted in 10 Integrated Child Development Service (ICDS) centres, commonly known as “Anganwadi”, in the villages of the Argoal Gram Panchayat at Patashpur - II block. The total sample of 225 Bengalee ethnic children aged between 3 and 6 years was composed of 115 girls and 110 boys. The overall age and gender-combined prevalence of stunting, underweight and wasting recorded was 30.7%, 42.7% and 12.0%, respectively, and these rates were considered high (30-39%), very high (≥ 40%) and high (10-14%), respectively. CIAF results revealed the same trend, with 50.2% of these children affected by anthropometric failure, with the prevalence of underweight, wasting and CIAF higher in boys than in girls. This 50.2% CIAF result highlighted that approximately half the study children were undernourished. Since this figure is much higher than that estimated by any of the three conventional indicators,, CIAF has thus proven a far better indicator in assessing the overall burden of under-nutrition in a population. The nutritional status of the children in this study requires serious remedial action.

INTRODUCTION One of the important responsibilities of an Anaesthesiologist is to maintain a patent airway during any surgical procedure. Since the early days of Anaesthesia, various efforts have been made to dispel the problem of airway maintenance. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES The study entitled “LMAProSeal: An alternative to endotracheal intubation in open appendicectomy operation” was conducted with the aims to compare the efcacy of LMA ProSeal and Endotracheal Tube in patients undergoing Open Appendectomy under General Anaesthesia. MATERIALAND METHODS Study Area: This study was conducted in Medical College, Kolkata (West Bengal), under the department of Anaesthesiology in General Surgery Operation Theatre (C. B. Top OT/ Green OTComplex), after clearance from the Hospital ethical committee, during the period from 1st may 2013 to 31st January 2014. Awritten informed consent was taken from all patients included in the study. StudyPopulation:Patients postedforopenAppendicectomyoperationwithBMIbetween18.50–24.99kg/m2andbodyweightbetween30—60kg. Sample Size: 100 RESULTS AND OBSERVATIONS The effects were observed by monitoring heart rate, blood pressure and SPO2 preoperatively (as baseline), after intubation or placement of LMAProSeal at 1 min, 3 mins, 5mins and every 5 mins thereafter till the reading at removal of the device. For both the groups baseline ETCO2 was taken from connection of ETCO2 cable following placement of airway devices. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION The study revealed that both the airway devices (ET tube and LMA ProSeal) were successful in operative procedure (open appendicectomy) in all the patients without any signicant complication. In experienced hands and following a strict protocol of insertion, the LMA ProSeal can prove to be an efcient and safe alternative to endotracheal tube for airway management of elective patients undergoing laparotomy procedure like open appendicectomy.

: In prosthodontics, esthetics a combination of the art and science. Patients requiring complete dentures usually expect comfort first, followed by harmonious appearance, and lastly efficiency. Therefore, the correct selection of the artificial teeth is essential for achieving a pleasant esthetic outcome. A number of soft tissue landmarks have been purported as useful for anterior tooth selection; but these are easily affected by several factors such as aging and the weight and build of the person. In the present study hard tissue landmarks like pterygomaxillary notches and maxillary arch width was presented as alternative anatomical landmark for anterior teeth selection. The aim of the study was to evaluate the hamular width and inter maxillary arch width which could be the guide for the selection ofartificial teeth for complete maxillary denture in the North-East Indian population.The study was conducted on 100 dentate individuals from the North Eastern Indian population, between the age group of 18- 30 years. All measurements were done with digital calliper on cast obtained after impression with irreversible hydrocolloid impression material.Pearson correlation analysis showed, statistically significant correlation between maxillary archwidth and central incisor width. The result was significant at p&#60;0.05 but not high enough to be practically used. Correlation between hamular width and central incisor width was found to be insignificant. The value of R was 0.05435. The result was significant at p &#60; 0.05. The maxillary arch width was in direct proportion to the maxillary central incisor width which meant that the increase of maxillary arch width,there was a corresponding increase of maxillary central incisor width. Significant correlation was found between maxillary arch width and central incisor width with p value=0132. The result was significant at p&#60;0.05 but not high enough to be practically used. But In this study statistically insignificant correlation was found between hamular width and central incisor width.
