Abstract

Hanging is one of the ten leading causes of death in the world accounting for more than a million deaths annually. The hanging deaths are one of the most important asphyxial types of death which are encountered in day to day life by forensic pathologists. Ligature mark in the neck is the principal external sign in hanging depending on body suspension from ligature point. This prospective study was conducted at the Department of Forensic Medicine, Dr.B.R.Ambedkar Medical College, Bengaluru between January 2018 to December 2018 to assess the information provided by a ligature mark in deaths due to hanging. We found that typical hanging is seen in 50 cases and atypical hanging in 225 cases. Partial hanging is seen in 73.09% deaths and complete hanging in 26.9% deaths. Ligature mark was obliquely placed in 91.3% cases and was found to be running above thyroid cartilage in 80.7% cases. Single ligature mark with a breadth of 1-2cms is observed in the maximum number of cases. In 93% of the incidents, ligature mark showed discontinuity. The colour of ligature mark was reddish-brown in 46.9% cases

Abstract

Objectives: This study was conducted to establish if any correlation exists between individual’s chronological age and lambdoid sutures closure status in mortals through modified reverse panoramic radiograph.Materials and Methods: Total number of 140 subjects, 10 years and beyond were included in the study, and divided into seven groups with an age interval of 5 years. Assessment of lambdoid suture closure was done according to Frederic Rating Scale on modified reverse panoramic radiographs. Data obtained was subjected to statistical analysis using Cramer’s V test.Results: A significant correlation was observed between the age group and suture closure. Cramer’s test gave value of 0.000, and was interpreted as a good correlation between the age and suture closure status with a P value of <0.05Conclusion: Lambdoid suture can be very effective and reliable practical tool for age assessment in mortalsthrough modified reverse panoramic radiography (ectocranially)

Abstract

Objectives: This study was conducted to assess the reliability of age estimation using the radiographic visibility of periodontal ligament surrounding the roots of completely erupted mandibular 3rd molar.Materials and methods:Visibility ofperiodontal ligament was assessed in completely erupted mandibular third molars, in a sample of 135 panoramic radiographs, of which 55 belonging to females and 80 to males, from a Mysore population aged 18to 32 years. A classification of four stages based on the visual phenomenon of disappearance of the periodontal ligament of fully mineralized third molars was used. For each stage, mean, standard deviation, minimal & maximal age were assessed.Results:The relationship between age and stage of periodontal ligament had a statistical significance for both sexes.In this population, stage 1 can be used for predictability of age above 19 years and stage 3 for predictability of age above 23 years. No significant correlation exists between periodontal ligament visibility and gender of the individual.Conclusion:Thistechnique is advocated for determining age above 19 years as it is a relatively simple and reliable method. Differences exist in different ethnicities demanding specific population standards.

Abstract

Background: Nursing is profession where practical and theoretical knowledge needs to be highly integrated and clinical practice is significant for the professional development of Nursing students. The shift from traditional instructional methods towards student-centered teaching challenges Nursing faculty to create learning experiences that will develop safe and competent graduates. Going out into the clinical field can be stressful for Nursing students. They know that mistakes can seriously affect a patient’s outcome. Nursing faculties are always looking for more effective teaching methods that enhance student knowledge and skills. Materials and Methods: Comparative research design was used to evaluatethe effectiveness of simulation based training versus traditional method of teaching on the retention of birthing care knowledge and skills. Convenience sampling technique was used to select 77 B.Sc Nursing Fourth Year students from SGT University Gurugram and R.R College of Nursing Gurugram.Results: The knowledge score for simulation group (23.05) was higher than traditional teaching group (17.87) at t = 31.08.The skill score for traditional teaching group (29.23) and simulation based training group (37.23) at t = 33.23.Simulation based training was more effective rather than traditional method of teaching in improving the retention birthing care knowledge and skills among students.Conclusion: Simulation based training has opened up a firsthand learning in a nursing profession. Evidencebased practices can be put into action by means of protocols and algorithms, which can then be practiced via simulation scenarios. The key to success in simulation training is integrating it into traditional education programmes.

Abstract

Stress is a feeling of emotional or physical tension. It can come from any event or thought that makes you feel frustrated, angry, or nervous. The period between childhood and adulthood is viewed as Adolescence. It is the period, where physiological and psychological maturity takes place. By nature, adolescents are sensitive, emotional, and temperamental and pass through a major transformation from childhood to adulthood involving a great physical, mental and emotional evolutionary process. Most of the students are stressful during the times of exams. Stress occurs while preparing and clearing the exams as one struggles to achieve the expected grade and mastering the content in a defined time. Raja Yoga meditation eases physiological and psychological stress and restores mental harmony if practiced on a regular basis; it is a compliment for promoting and maintaining physical, mental, and spiritual health. Heartfulness meditation used in this investigation is a simplified form of Raja Yoga where a practitioner meditates on the heart.

Abstract

The term diabetes mellitus describes a metabolic disorder of multiple etiologies characterized by chronic hyperglycemias with disturbances of carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism resulting from defects in insulin secretion and/or insulin action1. Diabetes is fast becoming the epidemic of the 21st century. Type 2 diabetes, which is more prevalent (more than 90% of all diabetes cases) and the main driver of the diabetes epidemic, now affects 5.9% of the world’s adult population with almost 80% of the total in developing countries2. World Health Organization (WHO) reports show that in India, 32 million people had diabetes in the year 20003. The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) estimates the total number of diabetic subjects to be around 40.9 million in India and this is further set to rise to 69.9 million by the year 20252. Cardiovascular disease (CVD), comprising coronary heart (CHD) and cerebro-vascular disease, are currently the leading cause of death globally, accounting for 21.9 per cent of total deaths, and are projected to increase to 26.3 per cent by 20304. The factors that coalesce to increase the risk of developing atherosclerotic CHD were demonstrated in Framingham in the mid – 20th century5 and have subsequently been shown to be pervasive across ethnicities and regions of the world6. These are not new risks, but the ubiquity of smoking, dyslipidaemia, obesity, diabetes and hypertension has been gradually escalating7, and is thought to be the driving influence behind the epidemic of heart disease faced today. Present study was conducted to estimate the diabetes as risk factor more clearly and its influence on cardiovascular complications particularly on coronary arteries and on heart structures.

Abstract

Background: The study aimed to compare and determine the success rate, ease of introducing I-gel and the hemodynamic effects of two adjuvant drugs ketamine and fentanyl, when used with induction agent propofol in minor surgical procedures.Methodology: The study comprised of 68 patients of ASA-I & II grading of either gender, aged between 18 to 60 years undergoing minor surgical procedures. Patients were distributed into two groups.Group K- inj. ketamine 0.5mg/kg & inj. propofol 2mg/kgGroup F- inj. fentanyl 1mcg/kg & inj. propofol 2mg/kgResults: Both groups K and F were comparable in terms of baseline clinic-sociodemographic variables such as age, gender, weight, ASA grade and Mallampatti grade. Attempt of insertion was more than one in 26.5% cases of group K and 8.8% cases of group F, showing statistically insignificant difference(p>0.05). Jaw relaxation was significantly good in group F than group K (p<0.01). Incidence as well as severity of coughing and limb movement was much higher in group K than group F (p<0.01). Overall excellent significantly higher condition was observed. Excellent conditions seen in 85.3% and 50% cases belonging to group F and group K respectively (p<0.01). Mean total requirement of propofol was 124±24.56 and 110.06±18.95 in cases belonging to groups K and group F respectively. Thus showing significant difference. Hemodynamic parameters such as heart rate(HR) and blood pressure(BP) were significantly higher in group K than in group F following induction(p<0.01).Conclusion: Fentanyl when used as co-induction drug with propofol provides ideal condition for I-gel insertion, decreases total requirement of propofol & stable hemodynamic response as compared to ketamine & propofol
