Title: Morphometric Analysis Of The Dry Adult Human Radius Bone: An Observational Study Authors: REG. NO: BB0119001 Abstract: Background : Radius is one of the two constituent bones of the forearm of human body which participates in the formation of important joints of the superior extremity and their movements. It is the weight transmitting bone and is frequently fractured, in isolation or accompanying the ulna. It can be fractured or dislocated due to various reasons which can be traumatic, pathological, environmental etc. Incidence and prevalence of such fractures are increasing day by day. Thorough comprehension of the morphometry of radius bone is essential for the timely and effective management as well as treatment of these conditions so that normal functioning of the upper limb is not hampered. Aims & Objectives : 1. To measure dimensions of the proximal end, distal end & the shaft of the dry adult human radius bone. 2. To collate these dimensions between the right-sided & left-sided radius bones.

Title: Morphometric Analysis of Human Foramen Magnum and occipital condyles for Sex Determination in Dry Adult Skulls of Belgaum District- A Cross Sectional Study Authors: Dr.Kolhapure Varsha Shivkumar Abstract: Background and Objectives: Anthropological study of bones play an important role in determining the sex, age and stature of an individual. Cranium is one of the good indicators for sexual dimorphism by morphometric and morphological analysis. The basi-cranium is protected by a large soft tissue mass comprising of muscles, tendons and ligaments. So in case of fragmentary human remains where no other skeletal remains are preserved the intact occipital region may prove useful for determining the gender. Hence this study was conducted to analyze morphometrically the foramen magnum and occipital condyles for sex determination in dry adult skulls of Belgaum district. Methods: This study was conducted on 100 foramina magna and 200 occipital condyles of 100 dry adult human skulls (50 male & 50 female) in the Department of Anatomy, J. N. Medical College, Belgaum. Morphological variants in the shape of foramen magnum and occipital condyles were noted. The antero-posterior diameter, transverse diameter and the indices of foramen magnum and occipital condyles (right and left) were measured using standard techniques. Students ‘t’ test was employed for statistical analysis. Results: It was observed that 36% of foramina magna were oval shaped, 20% were tetragonal, 19% were egg shaped, 14% were hexagonal, 9% were pentagonal and 2% were round shaped. The incidence of oval and hexagonal shaped foramen magnum was higher in male skulls and that of egg-shaped, pentagonal & round foramen magnum was higher in female skulls. The antero-posterior diameter of foramen magnum of male skulls was higher than the female skulls. No significant difference in the transverse diameter of foramen magnum of male and skulls was found. The foramen magnum index of male skulls was higher than the female skulls. 26% of right occipital condyles were oval shaped, 22% were S-shaped, 14% were triangular, 13% were kidney-shaped, 12% eight-shaped, 7% quadrangular, 2% round, 2% two-portioned and 2% were deformed. 23% of left occipital condyle were oval, 18% triangular, 18% eight-shaped, 18% S-shaped, 8% kidney shaped, 8% quadrangular, 3% deformed, 2% round and 2% were two-portioned. The antero-posterior diameter of occipital condyles (right and left) in male skulls was higher than the female skulls. There was no significant difference in the transverse diameter of occipital condyles (right and left) in male and female skulls. The occipital condyle index (right and left side) in male skulls was higher than the female skulls. Interpretation and Conclusion: The results of this study with respect to the morphometric analysis of foramen magnum and occipital condyle are in correlation with the results of various studies mentioned in the literature. This study also provides additional information on different shapes and indices of foramen magnum and occipital condyles and its relation to sex determination which is useful for anthropologists, morphologists & forensic experts and the neurosurgeons in dealing with lesions of posterior cranial fossa.

Title: Morphometric Analysis Of Menisci Of The Knee Joint In Adult Human Cadavers Of North Karnataka - A Cross Sectional Study Authors: Dr.BB0111002 Abstract: Background and Objectives: The menisci of the knee have been described as ‘C’ shaped wedges of fibrocartilage located between the condyles of the tibia and the femur. Meniscal function is essential to normal functioning of knee joint and acts as joint filler compensating for gross incongruity between femoral and tibial articulating surfaces. Since the size of the meniscus is related to its function, any procedure to replace the cartilage must be accompanied by measurement techniques to determine meniscal size. Hence this study was conducted to analyze morphometric parameters of menisci and its variations in cadavers of North Karnataka. Methods: This study was done on 120 menisci from 60 human knees, 29 right and 31 left. Morphological variants of the shape of the menisci were macroscopically noted and classified. The thickness, the width, peripheral and inner border length, distance between anterior and posterior horns of the adult menisci were measured using standard techniques. Students unpaired ‘t’ test was employed for statistical analysis. Results: It was observed that 96.66% of medial menisci were cresentic in shape, 1.66% were sided V shaped and 1.66% showed sickle shaped. Among the lateral menisci 88.33% were C shaped, 6.66% showed sided U shape and 5% showed incomplete discoid. Peripheral length (99.8mm) and inner border length (60.3mm) of medial menisci were higher than those of lateral menisci and statistically significant. Posterior third of medial menisci was the widest portion. No significant difference was observed in thickness of the medial and lateral menisci. Distance between anterior horn and posterior horn was more for medial menisci. Significant differences were not observed in various morphometric parameters of the menisci between the right and left knees except for the peripheral length which was greater for left sided medial menisci. Interpretation and Conclusion: The results of this study with respect to the morphometric analysis of menisci are consistent with the results of various studies mentioned in the literature. The study has provided additional information on different shapes and measurements of the medial and lateral menisci of North Karnataka population with contribution to a better delineation of meniscal anatomy and implications in regard to allograft meniscus transplantation.

Title: A Cross - Sectional Study Of Palmar Dermatoglyphic Pattern In Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus At KLE’S Dr Prabhakar Kore Hospital And MRC Authors: Dr. BB0111001 Abstract: Aim - To study dermatoglyphics of fingers and palms and to use it as a tool to screen the population for the pre-disposition to diabetes mellitus, for risk reduction and early therapy; thus reducing morbidity and mortality. Materials and methods - The study was conducted on 100 patients with diabetes mellitus and 100 controls, age, sex matched. The following quantitative parameters like finger ridge count, a-b ridge count, total finger ridge count, absolute finger ridge count, atd, adt and dat angles were studied. The following qualitative parameters like finger ridge patterns, palmar flexion creases were studied. Dankmeijer’s Index, Furuhata’s Index and Pattern intensity index were calculated for the fingertip patterns. Results - Difference of a-b ridge counts, Absolute Finger Ridge Counts and Total Finger Ridge Counts between cases and controls in both right and left hand was statistically not significant. An adt angle was significantly more in cases in right hand as compared to controls. The tad angle was less in cases in right hand as compared to controls. Fingertip patterns in all digits combined and in both hands combined in cases and controls showed that there was a statistically significant increase in the number of loops in controls as compared to cases, whereas the whorl and arch patterns did not show any statistically significant difference. Dankmeijer’s index was significantly more in male and female controls as compared to cases. Furuhata’s index was significantly more in male and female cases as compared to controls. Pattern intensity index was significantly more in female cases and controls as compared to males. Conclusion - Findings of the present study after a careful analysis of different palmar dermatoglyphic variables highlight on the possible markers. There were many supporting findings and many contradictory findings to studies conducted by other researchers, hence there is lot of scope for further studies on a larger sample size and other parameters
