Introduction: Nasal Index is very useful in anthropology and it is one of the clinical anthropometric parameters recognized in nasal surgical and medical management. Nasal index is the most common nasal parameter which may be related to regional and climatic differences so that it would be further useful as an essential tool to the researchers, clinicians, rhinoplastic and facial reconstructive surgeons and forensic experts related to this field. The present study was designed to provide a normative data of nasal index and to classify their nose type and comparison of data with other studies. Material & Methods: The study was conducted on 200 human dry skulls of north Indian population in Department of Anatomy, S.N. Medical College, Agra. The measurements were taken using digital vernier caliper. Nasal Index was calculated by measuring nasal height and nasal width in order to determine the nasal type. Results: In the present study, mean nasal height was 49.25±3.68mm whereas mean nasal width was 24.63±2.90mm. Mean nasal index was calculated as 51.00± 0.09. Conclusion: The findings of our study suggest that according to the nasal index, the studied population of North India belongs to Platyrrhine type.

Introduction: Cephalic index is the percentage of head breadth to head length. The index is calculated from measurement of the diameters of head (head length and head breadth). When applied to living individuals it is known as cephalic index, and when referring to dry skulls, the cranial index. This index is used as a useful anthropological tool for analysis of racial and sexual differences in a population. The present study was done to find out Cephalic Index and to study sexual dimorphism in adult North Indian population. Objective of the study was to calculate the cephalic index and to find out that the present study group belongs to which category in the classification of skull based on cephalic index and to study the sexual dimorphism in respect to cephalic index. Material & Methods: The present study comprised of 200 medical students of age group between 18 yrs. to 25 yrs. of S.N. Medical College, Agra, not having any significant disease or deformity that could have affected the general or the bony growth. Two anthropometric parameters; head length and head breadth were recorded in centimeters by using spreading caliper. With these recorded data, cephalic index was calculated for males and females separately as well as combined. Results: Mean Cephalic Index was significantly higher (p=0.03124) in females (79.350 ± 5.7157) as compared to males (77.715 ± 4.9102). Conclusion: There was a statistically significant difference in the mean of the cephalic indices of male and female students (p=0.03124). The mean cephalic index of combined population in this study was 78.533 ± 5.3776 which states that the dominant head shape among North Indians is Mesaticephalic.

ABSTRACT This study is conducted to know the incidence of supratrochlear foramen and its morphometry. A total of 38 humerus bones are studied in the Indian population sample, in light of available literature, and clinical, racial, and regional significance is drawn, if present. Materials and methods Thirty-eight humerus bones belonging to the museum of the Department of Anatomy, Rohilkhand Medical College & Hospital, Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, India, were studied to observe the incidence of supratrochlear foramen anomaly in the Indian population sample. Results The supratrochlear foramen anomaly was observed in 7 out of 38 humeri studied, i.e., 18.4%. Conclusion: The findings are of considerable clinical, racial, and regional significance, and are discussed. How to cite this article Agarwal P, Zaidi SHH.

Background: In scapula, the acromion process projects forwards almost at right angle from the lateral end of spine. Morphometry of the acromion process is an important factor in contributing to impingement syndrome of the shoulder joint.Methods: The study was performed at Department of Anatomy, PGIMS Rohtak on 50 pairs of human scapula, out of which 30 were males and 20 were females. The various parameters like length, width, thickness, coraco-acromial distance, acromio-glenoid distance and types of acromion process were recorded using vernier calipers. These parameters were compared in both sexes on both the sides.Results: Type-II Acromion i.e. Curved type was found to be most predominant. Statistically significant difference was noted in all the five parameters between males and females except Acromio-glenoid distance on right side.Conclusions: Knowledge of the morphometric parameters of acromion process is important for Orthopaedicians, Anthropologists and Anatomists.

Background: To evaluate the factors affecting dental anxiety level on the basis of a questionnaire in the North Indian Population.Methods: A questionnaire based on the various factors related to dental anxiety was formulated and distributed among the various regions of the north India. We got response from 250 people, the data was then analysed and results were formulated.Results: Out of 450 questionnaires which were distributed, a total of 400 questionnaires were received. Overall high prevalence of dental anxiety i.e. 85% was noted. More increased values for anxiety were seen for people younger than 30 years (70%), compare to that of elder people (30%). Females seem to have greater anxiety levels as compared to males (p value >0.000). Among 450 people 176 had visited clinics previously with 98 having bad experience (55.6%) and 78 people having a relatively good past dental experience (44.2%).Conclusions: Anxious patients are often more difficult to treat, therefore the questionnaire proved beneficial in estimating factors related to dental anxiety. Young people, women and those having negative dental experience had the highest anxiety levels.

Background:Asthma is the most prevalent disease in India according to the national survey conducted by NFHS 2 in 1998–399. Prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) is a bronchoconstriction inducing metabolite of arachidonic acid in the mast cells, which is produced on exposure to allergens and acts as a ligand for the Prostaglandin D2 Receptor (PTGDR). Polymorphisms in thePTGDRgene have been suggested to be involved in the mechanism of asthma.Objective:This is the first study conducted in India, investigating the role ofPTGDR−441C/Tpromoter polymorphism in asthma pathogenesis.Methods:A case-control study was performed with a total of 992 subjects, including 410 adult asthmatics and 582 healthy controls from regions of North India. ThePTGDR−441C/Tpolymorphism was genotyped by Tetra-Primer Amplification Refractory Mutation System Polymerase Chain Reaction (Tetra-Primer ARMS PCR).Results:Statistical analysis of the results between asthma cases and controls for thePTGDR−441C/Tpolymorphism showed Chi2(χ2) = 0.29, OR = 0.95, 95% CI (0.70–1.15) andp= 0.599. Neither the genotypic nor the allelic frequencies observed for thePTGDR−441C/Tpolymorphism, were significantly associated with asthma or asthma phenotypes.Conclusions:ThePTGDR−441C/Tpolymorphism is not associated with asthma or its phenotypes in the studied North Indian population.
