Background: The cervicodiaphyseal angle of femur varies in different population groups due to genetic and environmental factors and has its clinical implications. Aim: To find the cervicodiaphyseal angle in male and female population of Southern Punjab. Study design: Cross sectional study. Methodology: Two hundred and twelve randomly selected pelvic radiographs of adult males (116) and females (96) of the age 24 to 62 years were included in the study. Cervicodiaphyseal angle was measured on each side and statistical comparisons made. Data analyzed by SPSS 22.0v. Results: The mean value of cervico-diaphyseal angle was found to be130.3+4.9 in the male and127.8+3.5 in the female. The angle was larger in the male and significantly larger on the right side in both male and female subjects. Comparison between the two sides of the male (p <0.0158) and female (p < 0.0424) subjects was found to be significantly larger on the right side. Statistical difference between overall male and female was very highly significant (p < 0.0001). Conclusion: This study provided baseline data on cervicodiaphyseal angle in adult male and female population of Southern Punjab.

BACKGROUND The peculiar waddling gait of a female attracts most of the anatomists to measure and compare the neck-shaft angle (NSA) of the femora. The femoral neck shaft angle is greater in women due to greater pelvic breadth and shorter femur. Neck-shaft angle was measured by the angle that the neck makes with the shaft of the femur and it is measured on the ventral surface of femur taking the long axis of femoral neck with the long axis of the proximal end of the femur. It gives information about the race it belongs to and normally measures 120° to 140°. The intention of this study was to establish the femoral neck shaft angle variations in adult male and female for medico-legal and anthropometric studies. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted on 84 adult human femora of unknown sex in the anatomy department, Sriram Chandra Bhanja (SCB) Medical College, Cuttack, Odisha, from May 2018 to April 2019. We included all the femora which were free of damage or deformity and fully ossified indicating adult bone. Femora with any pathological changes i.e., cortical bone deterioration, extreme osteophyte activity, osteoarthritis and fracture etc. were excluded from the study. The NSA was measured by protractor and goniometer. RESULTS In the present study the NSA range for the right femur of male was 108° - 135° and for the right femur of females 117° - 135°. The left male femur was 118° - 135° and the left female femur was 120° - 135°. The mean neck shaft angle of male femora was 125.9° and the female femora was 125.7°. These measurements show that the values were more in males than the females. The value of the present study was statistically significant between male and female i.e., P < 0.0001. CONCLUSIONS These measurements are important in the medico-legal cases, reconstructive orthopaedic surgeries, hip replacement surgeries and also while constructing suitable prosthesis. This will also be helpful in the detection of sex by anatomists and forensic experts. KEY WORDS Neck Shaft Angle, Medico-Legal, Anthropometry and Goniometer

Osteopenia is regarded as a bone condition whereby its is observed that the Bone Mineral Density (BMD) is less than that of the mean value. however, it is not as low as Osteoporosis. Unfortunately Pakistan has become one of those countries which encounter the issues of Osteoporosis and Osteopenia among women which may or may not be influenced by dietary factors. Objectives: The objective of this study was to find the frequency of osteopenia among females and its relationship with dietary factors. Methods: It was an analytical and cross-sectional study. the research was carried out at Niaz Medicure Clinic in Faisalabad. The study was completed in 9 months from 18 October 2019 to 18 July 2020. Selection of the participants was based on Non probability purposive sampling. 323 females were taken for the study. The Bone Mineral Density was measured using Quantitative Ultrasound (QUS) machine. The factor dietary habits was taken into account for the study. Results: The results showed that about 56% of the females had Osteopenia. However, Dietary factors didn’t seem to influence BMD levels in this study (p<0.05). Conclusion: There was no association found between Osteopenia and Dietary factors including milk intake (p =0.603) and junk food (0.159).

Purpose: To describe the natural variation in hip geometry in relation to Danish population characteristics, and to establish normal reference values. Material and Methods: We included 249 healthy individuals (94 M and 155 F, aged 19–79 years) and measured hip-axis-length (HAL), neck-width (NW), neck-shaft-angle (NSA), and femoral head-radius (HR) on dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) screen images. Results: HAL, NW, HR, and NSA were higher in men than in women (10.9±0.7 vs. 9.5±0.6 cm ( P<0.001), 3.8±0.3 vs. 3.3±0.3 cm ( P<0.01), 2.5±0.3 vs. 2.3±0.2 cm ( P<0.001), and 131±5 vs. 129±5° ( P<0.01). NSA was higher in post-menopausal than in pre-menopausal women (130±4 vs. 128±5° ( P<0.001)). In multiple regression analysis, HAL, NW, and HR were positively related to body height in both sexes ( R  =  0.20 to 0.63, P<0.05 to P<0.001). In females, NSA was positively related to body height ( R  =  0.20, P<0.05) and negatively to body weight ( R  =  −0.30, P<0.01). NW increased with age in men ( R  =  0.34, P<0.01) but not in women. Conclusion: Hip dimensions differ between genders in the Danish population. HAL, NW, and HR depend on body height. Finally, NW increases with age in men but not in women.

Background: The sub-carinal angle is an angle formed between the main right bronchus and leftbronchus clearly seen in adequately exposed chest radiograph, normally at the level of 5th thoracicvertebrae. Objective: To measure sub-carinal angle in relationship to different age, sex and body mass index inthe adult. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in the Department of Radio diagnosis and Imaging at BPKIHS, Dharan from 27th April to 6th August 2017. Sub-carinal angle was measured on the normal chest radiograph in 392 adult patients. The data were analyzed using SPSS Version 11.5 and descriptive statistics percentage, Mean, Standard Deviation were calculated. For inferential statistics, Independent ‘t’ test and Pearson’s correlation were applied. Results: The sub-carinal angle ranged from 39°- 81.1° with mean value 60.17°+7.81°. The mean subcarinalangle for the male was 59.17°+8.19° and for female was 60.62°+7.49°. The mean sub-carinalangle was wider in female than male in our study; however, the difference in sub-carinal angle between male and female was statistically not significant (p> 0.05). There was negative correlationbetween sub-carinal angle and age (r= -0.168, p <0.01). The sub-carinal angle was positivelycorrelated with BMI (r= 0.100, p< 0.05). Conclusion: In our study, the mean sub-carinal angle was 60.17° ± 7.81°. The mean sub-carinal angle difference between male and female was statistically non-significant. There was negative correlation of sub-carinal angle with age and positive correlation with BMI. The reference value obtained from this study will be helpful to diagnose abnormal sub-carinal angle due to various pathologies.

Background: In the fields of forensics, anthropology, orthopaedics, and human kinematics, the thigh bone femur is widely studied. The clinical significance of the femoral neck shaft angle lies in the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of femoral neck fractures, trochanteric fractures, slipped upper femoral epiphysis, and hip developmental dysplasia. Objective: The present study was conducted to compare the NSA disparity between femurs on both sides and to compare the NSA with the Western and Indian population sizes of different regions. This research therefore leads to Indian data on these parameters. Materials and Methods: A total of 150 (75 right and 75 left) dry femur were used for measuring the neck shaft angle. Unpaired t-test was used to compare right and left femora. Results: The mean value of neck shaft angle was 126.04±5.05°. It ranges between 1130 to 1360. The mean value of right side was 125.92±4.9° and left side was measured 127.43±5.2°. There was no significant correlation between right and left neck shaft angle. Conclusion: The mean left femoral neck shaft angle was higher than the right femoral shaft in the present analysis, but the values were not statistically important. The angle of the neck shaft was lower than most studies in the Western population, but it was similar to most other studies in India. In the Indian population, geographical variations in the angle of the neck shaft also occur. In the field of orthopaedic surgery and anthropometry, this research will be of benefit.

Introduction: The neck-shaft (collo-diaphysial) angle of the human femur bone is an important factor for the hip stability and normal walking. It has been described that neck shaft normally ranges from the angle of 115° to 140°. The main objective of the study is to evaluate the neck shaft angle of the non-articulated adult Nepalese femur bones.Methods: Altogether 100 non-articulated adult human femur bones with 50 right and 50 left were taken from a renowned anatomy laboratory. The femora were of unknown sex, age and race. Use of simple protector was used to measure the neck-shaft angle. Both the anterior and posterior views were observed and 200 measurements were recorded.Results:The mean value of neck shaft angle was 127.71°with standard deviation of 5.78°. The mean angle of 128.46° and 126.97° with the respective standard deviation of 5.83° and 5.66° were observed with respect to the right and left adult femur bones.Conclusion: The neck shaft angle of non-articulated adult femur bone of Nepalese people had no remarkable dissimilarity with the angles observed in the studies conducted in the neighboring countries. Neither was there any significant difference between the neck-shaft angle of right and left adult femur bones of the Nepalese.

Historically, the research on the right ventricle (RV) has been neglected by his left equivalent because of the complexity of left ventricle (LV) dysfunction. Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) can be classified as linked to primary valve disease or functional in nature, but most are functional. Although it was historically assumed that such functional Tricuspid regurgitation, i.e. arising from leftsided disease, and it can be resolved after corrective surgery, but after successful surgery, on the aortic or mitral valve annular dilatation, the Tricuspid regurgitation and right ventricular dysfunction may persist.To study the circumference of tricuspid orifice and it’s the diameter in two perpendicular planes and its comparison among the male and female population. The material for the present study comprised of 50 formalin fixed human hearts (35 males and 15 females) which were obtained from the department of anatomy. In this study, it is observed that: The mean value of circumference of a tricuspid orifice is 11.01+/-0.63 cm. The diameter of tricuspid orifice along the frontal dimension is 3.06+/-0.38 cm, and the diameter along the sagittal dimension is 2.26+/-0.23 cm. The measurements of the circumference of tricuspid orifice reported for males and females in western countries were higher than the present study and the diameter along the frontal dimension is greater than the diameter along the sagittal dimension. The tricuspid valve diameter along the frontal dimension was more than the diameter along the sagittal dimension in both males and females.
