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

This study aimed to prove that giving hCG injection at the time of artificial insemination and five days afterartificial insemination in dairy cows with repeat breeder can cause pregnancy. This study employed 30 dairycows with repeat breeder. All samples of dairy cows were divided into two treatments, P1 using hCG at adose of 100 IU given intramuscularly at the time of artificial insemination and P2 using hCG at a dose of100 IU intramuscularly given five days after artificial insemination. The results were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. Analysis using Chi-Square showed that all treatments caused pregnancy (100%). In summary,hCG injection at the time of artificial insemination and five days after artificial insemination in dairy cowsexperiencing repeat breeding can cause pregnancy.

Abstract

This study attempts to shed light on the applicability of the Jordanian Civil Trials Law No. 24 of 1988and its amendments in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the prevention of litigants’ access to thecourts because it is an official holiday on the grounds constituting it to be a force majeure or an emergencycircumstance which is considered an unexpected event. The law did not explicitly stipulate a cessation ofappeal against judgments. When this impediment is present, the appellant can complete the appeal periodwhen this impediment ceases to exist. The completion of the prescribed periods becomes in effect, whileDefense Order No. 5 bridged the gap in the provisions of the Civil Trials Law in light of the country’spassage through the COVID-19 pandemic, which came suddenly being an unexpected event. The legislatorwas unable to address the issue of stopping and completing the appeal period against the ruling issued forits appeal within the legal period stipulated in the law. Besides, this study includes the opinions of jurists inthe Civil Trials Law.This study indicated that the event of force majeure or an emergency situation (COVID-19 pandemic) withthe activation of Defense Law No. 13 of 1992 as it is pointing that completing the period of appeal withjudicial rulings and the necessity of its application during the existence of the COVID-19 pandemic with theneed to amend the Jordanian legislature for the legal loophole in this regard.

Abstract

The Sutures in the human skull are zones of separation between skull bones, which also allows the skullbones to grow in a fashion along with increase in size of brain, early closure of sutures (craniosynostosis)may lead to increase in intracranial tension and it pushes the soft skull outward which leads to undulatingpatterns formation in inner plate of skull called as silver beaten or copper beaten skull. Here we documentan incidental finding of copper beaten skull pattern in a case of road traffic accident brought to Mortuary ofAIIMS Bhubaneswar.

Abstract

Sheep pneumonia remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The aim of the studyreport to determine Interleukine-6,IL-10,and liver function test , and kidney function test of sheep sufferingfrom respiratory disease. Blood samples were collected from the diseased and healthy sheep during fieldstudy, for biochemical analysis. The results of 50 diseased animals were compared with results of 50 healthyanimals.Data of selected biochemical parameters implicated a significant increase in Interleukin-6, alanineaminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase, and Gamma glutamyltransferase in the diseased groupcompared to the healthy sheep’s. On the other hand, a significant decrease was seen in the levels of IL-10, lactate dehydrogenase and total protein in the diseased group compared to the control. The results ofthis study could conclude that respiratory infections in sheep were associated with significant biochemicaland immunological alterations which upon understanding can provide us with rapid diagnostic tools forpneumonia process in sheep and thus lead to better management and proper treatment.Future research iswarranted to determine the response of individual animals to this disease and to describe the metabolicchanges which occur during the course of respiratory diseases.

Abstract

Chest CT scanning is significant in verifying COVID-19 infection in patients with clinical symptoms,although CT scanning uses ionizing radiation. So we aim to investigate the demonstration of relevance andaccuracy of chest tomography using a low-dose protocol compared to the standard auto-modulation protocolof 50 – 210 mAs. Moreover, to assess whether any distinguishing signs in patients might help determinethe severity of the respiratory infection from COVID-19. A standard auto-modulation protocol of 50 – 210mAs was performed for all patients (120 patients), Rotation time 0.5 second. Of the 120 patients whoseCT scan showed signs of COVID-19 infection, 47 patients aged over 50 years were selected. Low doseCT scanning (30 mAs) was performed on these patients immediately. Of the 120 patients over the age of50 with COVID-19 according to a PCR underwent a CT chest, only 47 showed signs of COVID-19.Whencompared to standard-dose, low-dose demonstrated excellent sensitivity in detecting typical findings ofCOVID-19 (coefficient of significance (C.S) = 0.98–0.99, P-values < 0.05 one reader and P-values < 0.01two readers). The mean effective dose values were 6.32±2.82 and 1.45±0.29mSvin the stander and lowdose,respectively.A low dose protocol can be used with high reliability and accuracy to reduce the ionizingradiation risks in the state of reproducible assessment. On the other hand, we emphasize there are indicatorswith high reliability of a relationship between infection with COVID-19 and its severity and the work nature,environment, age, body mass index (BMI) and Patient Health Status.
