Abstract

Background: Estimation of stature is a key feature of personal identification. Evaluation of stature fromincomplete skeletal and decomposing human remains is particularly important in personal identification forforensic experts and anthropologists.Methods: The data was collected from 1000 asymptomatic, healthy adults (500 males and 500 females)belonging to border areas of Punjab region of age group ranged between 18-50 years.Results: The comparison of each parameter of the study shows that all parameters have higher valuesin males than in females. It is also observed that in males highest correlation is exhibited by Right footlength(r= .418) and in females it is exhibited by Left Foot Length (r= .354). The calculated linear regressionformulae show good reliability and applicability for stature estimation.Conclusion: In all parameters the foot length and hand length are better predictors of stature in both sex.Using regression formulae the height of subject can be easily determined and this will be used as researchtool in anthropological and medicolegal issues.

Abstract

Background: First aid knowledge is very valuable for every individual in the community. It enables theindividual to assist the injured person in an emergency situation until medical help arrives at the site.1Students are highly exposed to different kinds of physical injuries. Lack of knowledge regarding managingthese medical injuries was noted among the students.2 Careful management recommended for reducing thecomplication. This study was conducted to determine the knowledge of first aid and its associated factorsamong undergraduate students.3-5Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 100 undergraduatestudents. Subjects were selected using purposive sampling techniques. The information was collected usinga demographic proforma and a self-administered questionnaire. The overall knowledge on first aid wasgraded as adequate, good and inadequate.Results: The overall knowledge score was 13.81 ± 4.41. The mean percentage of the overall level ofknowledge was 57.54% which indicate the majority had good knowledge on aspects of first aid. In thisstudy there was no significant association between knowledge score and selected demographic variables.Conclusion: The study showed the majority had good knowledge of first aid. But also identified some keyareas in which first aid knowledge was deficient in the management of shock, burns and fracture. Thus thereis a need for first aid training to be introduced in the undergraduate curriculum of different disciplines. Thestudy recommends the use of modern techniques such as simulation with computerized mannequins as ateaching-learning method in all the educational institutions.

Abstract

Background: The “All-on-4” technique using 4 implants that has gained popularity in full arch edentulismcases in recent years was presented as a modern technique in implant-denture rehabilitation by Malo inLisbon, Portugal, for the first time in 2003 and the all-on-four concept that began to be used in atrophic fullarch mandibular and in the maxilla in 2005 has emerged.Aim: evaluation of dental implant stability in relation to All-on-4 concept.Materials and Methods: This was a clinical prospective comparative study organized from February 2019to March 2020 in the College of Dentistry Teaching Hospital, Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery/Dental Implant Unit/University of Baghdad. A total of 15 Iraqi patients aged 41-73 years, 9 males & 6females were enrolled in this study receiving 80 Dental implants (All-on-4 concept). Patients classified intotwo groups, group A (All-on-4 with 2 anterior axial and 2 posterior with angulation of 17°) and group B(All-on-4 with 2 anterior axial and 2 posterior with angulation of 30°). For both, the surgical site of dentalimplant was examined for the hard and soft tissues clinically and radiographically utilizing OPG and CBCT.Results: The mean of ISQ values obtained in this study at each time point in the total dental implant,axially placed and angled implant stability demonstrated significant increase (P = 0.000, 0.031 and 0.004)respectively at different times. There was a significant increase in the mean stability of axial and angledimplants concerning males (P = 0.001 and P =0.002) respectively than females. Significant correlationbetween implant stability and the regions at the three times periods. There was a significant difference inangled implants stability between different intervals (P = 0.001) in patients >50y. Success of dental implants95.24%.Conclusion: All-on-4–style full-arch dental implant procedures have one of the highest success rates ofdental treatment; the dental implant stability had significant effect in mandible in comparison to maxilla.There was irrelevant clinical analysis result in comparison to the statical analysis in relation to stability withdifferent variables.

Abstract

Background: This comparative study hypothesize there are differences betweenultrasound guided retroclavicularand proximal infraclavicular approaches for brachial plexus block for surgeriesinvolving lowerpart of arm, elbow, forearm and hand with the use of tourniquet.Method: About 36 patients randomly allocated into 2 groups, first group block done through retro-clavicularapproach (RCB) and the other group done by using proximalinfraclavicular block (PIB).In RCB groupneedle inserted posterior to the clavicle and directed posterior to the first part of axillary artery. In PIBneedle inserted from lateral to medial after abduction of the arm more than 90° where the cords are clusteredtogether.Results: Block performance time was (6.11±2.58) and (6.05±2.61) for RCB and PIB, respectively withoutsignificant difference (p= 0.94). The onset of sensory was (12.8±1.4) and (11±2.3) for RCB and PIB,respectively. For motor onset (17.4 ±2.3) and (15.3±3.3) and there is significant difference between bothgroups (p=0.009 and 0.04), respectively. There was no significant difference in block-related pain betweenthe two groups (p=0.809) VRS for RCB was (1.41±0.712) and for PIB was (1.32±0.67). Tourniquetpainreported by the patientfor RCB was 1.24±0.56 and for PIB was 1.11±0.315, there is no significant differencebetween both groups (p=0.392)Conclusion: Ultrasound guided BPB by retro-clavicular and proximal approaches are with a comparablequality of surgical anesthesia for operations of the lower arm, elbow, forearm and hand with the use oftourniquet, the onset of surgical anesthesia is earlier for PIB, the RCB is preferred for patients who cannotabduct the arm.

Abstract

Background: Human beings are unique in number of physical characteristics like shape and form ofan individual. These characteristics are influenced by a wide range of racial, ecological, psychological,geographical, gender and biological variations. Human external ear is often overlooked during anthropometricmeasurements. The structure of human ear is so much variable that even two ears are different in sameindividual and it also varies according to age, sex, race and ethnic group.Authentic anthropometric data ofear for a particular population is necessary for designing of ear products for occupational environments, tofind out the age, sex and stature of an individual in that population. This data on ear measurements can alsobe helpful in forensic and medico-legal cases for personal identification of an individual. The main objectiveof the study is to find any relationship between ear parameters and stature and also to formulate regressionequation for estimation of stature in Haryanvi adult Jaats.Methods: The present study was conducted on 300 healthy Haryanvi Jaats (150 females and 150 males)aged 20 to 60 years. Measurements of ear length, ear breadth and stature were taken on each subject.Conclusion: Ear length and ear breadth are not significantly correlated with stature (p>0.05) in both thesexes except ear breadth which is significantly correlated with stature in males (p<0.05).The present study concluded that stature cannot be estimated from ear length and ear breadth in Haryanvipopulation.

Abstract

Background: Facial anthropometry is a part of cephalometry that involves the measurements of face. Itis very helpful in reconstructive surgery, forensic medicine, orthodontics and to find ethnic differencesby defining various shapes of face. Facial features of every individual are different even in siblings.These features vary according to gender, racial and biological group, ecological and geographical region.Anthropometry can also be used for estimation of stature, where it cannot be measured directly such asspinal or lower limb deformity or any other neuromuscular disorder.So, the present study attempted to findthat is the facial parameters are reliable in estimation of stature in Haryanvi jaat population and also aimsformulate regression equation for estimation of stature in the same.Methods: A sample of total 300 adult Haryanvi jaatsof age group 20 to 60 years was taken for the presentstudy. Out of them 150 were females and 150 weremales. Anthropometric measurements of face and staturewere taken on each subject.Conclusion: All the studied facial parameters showed positive significant correlation with stature (p<0.01)both in males and females So, it can be concluded that facial anthropometry is a reliable tool for statureestimation in Haryanvi population.
