<![CDATA[Introduction: Cheiloscopy is the study of lip prints. Since the inception of the technique, the techniquesis being used to evaluate the individual identity and its association with sex determination. As the bloodstains may also be present at a crime scene, further studies have also been done to evaluate the associationof common blood group pattern with lip prints.Aims and Objectives: To study the patterns of lip print and its association with blood group and gender inadults.Methods: In this prospective observational study, data were collected from 150 subjects (75 males and 75females). All the subjects fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria were in the age group of 18-30 years.In this study lip print pattern samples were collected by paper fold method and blood group samples werecollected and both were analysed according to Tsuchihashi classification and Landsteiner’s classificationrespectively.Results: A The predominant lip print pattern found in males, females and both the gender together was Type1- complete vertical in both upper and lower lips. Predominant blood group found in this study was B+ve.Most frequent lip print pattern found in all blood group types was Type 1- complete vertical.Conclusions: Our study revealed an association between distribution of lip print pattern and gender. Therewas no correlation found in between blood group types and the cheiloscopic patterns. Further studies indifferent populations with large sample size are required to obtain a more definitive picture and statisticalsignificance of this correlation.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction. Sexual dimorphism is the condition where whether the specific body part or the whole bodyof two sexes of the same species exhibit different characteristics except for the differences in primarysexual organs. Teeth are helpful in determining the sex, stature, race, age etc. same as bony tissues whenidentification is not possible from rest of the body. Most of the studies conducted earlier are on mandibulardental tissue and literature is sparse on evaluation of maxillary area. We decided to conduct the study onmaxillary teeth.Aims and Objectives. To find the correlation between mesiodistal dimension of permanent maxillaryincisors and canines with the gender.Methods. The study was conducted in Forensic Medicine and Toxicology department, Himalayan Instituteof Medical Sciences, SRHU. The objective of the study was For the study sample of 100 individuals weretaken out of which 50 were male and 50 female, all in the age group of 17-25 years of age. For measuringthe dimension of teeth there comes mesiodistal, Buccolingual, labiolingual, crown heights, diagonal lengthetc. dimensions, but for our study we selected mesiodistal dimension. Subjects were taken according to theinclusion and exclusion criteria. The results were statistically analysed and compared with other studies.Results. The study revealed about the definite association between mesiodistal dimensions of anteriormaxillary permanent teeth and gender.Conclusions: The results showed a positive correlation between the width and sexual dimorphism inmaxillary canines, incisors and other teeth. Male teeth were greater in width as compared to female teethin Indian population. More studies with larger number of subjects would be required to establish a propercorrelation between maxillary dentition and gender.]]>

<![CDATA[Aims and Objectives: To study the incidence of distant metastasis to bone and soft tissues from head andneck cancers and to assess the primary site of head and neck cancer, its clinical staging and its correlationwith the site of distant metastasis.Materials and Methods: Medical records of patients admitted for management of head and neck cancersin Medical and Radiation Oncology for a period of 6 years, were assessed for primary site of the tumour,staging, histopathological diagnosis and the site of distant metastasis.Results: Out of 125 patient records evaluated, the incidence of distant metastasis was 15.2%. Majority ofthe patients (60%) presented at Stage III and IV of the disease. Thyroid and tongue malignancies showed thehighest incidence of distant metastasis and this incidence was most common in the 5th and 6th decades of life.The most common sites of distant metastasis were to the bones (31.6%) and lungs (15.8%).Conclusion: Cancers of the head and neck is typically loco-regional in nature, with metastasis to cervicalnodes. Distant metastasis, though uncommon, may adversely impact the survival and quality of life of thepatient. Understanding the risk factors and incidence for metastatic head and neck cancers may be useful intreatment planning and follow-up protocols for newly diagnosed patients.]]>

<![CDATA[Background : Intestinal obstruction is one of the common abdominal emergencies and if not treated anddelayed it may lead to bowel ischemia. Hence diagnosis and management of the patient with intestinalobstruction is one of the most important and challenging step to decrease its morbidity and mortality. Thismortality due to acute intestinal obstruction can be decreased with better understanding of pathophysiology,improvement in diagnostic techniques, fluid and electrolyte correction, much potent antimicrobial hence ourstudy focuses on early diagnosis of obstruction, skill full operative management, proper technique duringsurgery and intensive postoperative treatment and carries grateful results.Aim and Objectives :1. To study the various causes of intestinalobstruction.2. To study the symptomatology of intestinalobstruction.3. To study the various Modalities of treatment(surgical) and also the role of imaging studies in determiningthe etiology and intervention in intestinal obstruction.Conclusion : Through our study we came to the conclusion that men are more commonly involved thanfemales . Plain X-ray abdomen and ultrasonography were important for diagnosing out of which Plain X-rayerect abdomen was almost conclusive in all cases. Where diagnosis was inconclusive an ultrasonographywas carried out. Amongst the causes, Postoperative adhesions are the common cause to produce intestinalobstruction. Intestinal obstruction with tuberculosis intestine are more likely to develop postoperativecomplications, proper anti-tubercular management is necessary to prevent mortality and morbidity. Earlyoperations depending upon the etiology of obstruction are mandatory to avoid perforation, the developmentof peritonitis and systemic sepsis associated with multisystem organ failure. Through our study, Adhesiolysisfollowed by resection and anastomosis were the two procedures which were commonly performed. InPostoperative period, few patients had wound infection followed by would dehiscence, chest infection,septicemia and fecal fistula. Morbidity increased in old age patients and those whose presentation was late]]>
