Abstract

Background: Child nutritional status needs to be assessed accurately so that early and appropriate management can be carried out. Indonesia has launched child growth standards in 2005, known as Growth Diagrams of Indonesian Children (GDIC), while the WHO 2006 child growth standards (WHO-CGS) is currently use as standards to assess growth of Indonesian children. Aim: This study aims to analyze differences in the interpretation of nutritional status between 2006 WHOCGS and 2005 GDIC. Method: This is a cross sectional study. 1162 children aged 0-60 months in five selected villages in a public health center in East Java, Indonesia were included in this study. Interpretation of growth was categorized into weight-for-age, length/height-for-age, and weight-for-length/height based on two growth assessment standards; 2006 WHO-GCS and 2005 GDIC. Results: 2005 GDIC detected underweight, stunted, wasted, and obese children fewer than the 2006 WHOCGS. There are significant differences in the interpretation of weight-for-age in girls aged 0-50 weeks (p<0.001) and length/height-for-age in children aged 0-60 months (p<0.001). While weight-for-length/ height showed significant differences in boys aged 0-60 months (p=0.008) and aged 6-36 months (p=0.027). Conclusion: 2005 GDIC detects fewer children with malnutrition than 2006 WHO-CGS. The significant difference on interpretation between two growth charts was particularly found in height-for-age.

Abstract

In forensic anthropology and bio archaeology, sex determination is considered to be a primary step, asaccurate identification of one sex eliminates half of the population of other sex. Though pelvis, craniumand long bones are considered more accurate indicators for sex determination, they are often not availableor fragmented. The aim of this study is to specify the relation between prediction of sex of an individualand osteometry (length and mid shaft diameter) of third metatarsal and to assess the reliability of thesemorphometric traits in predicting the sex of the individual. Sample used in the study were 100 cases (50males and 50 females) presenting for post mortem examination in the mortuary of Lok Nayak Hospital andMaulana Azad Medical College. The present study found sex determination accuracy of third metatarsal tobe 67% to 72%, which rose to 75 % on combination of variables from both sides. The results suggest thatmetatarsal bones can be used for sex determination when remains are fragmented or incomplete.

Chieloscopy or study of pattern of lip print is one of the easiest tools available for the identification of an individual in a medico legal investigation. The present study involves evaluating the pattern of lip prints among hundred individuals with 50 male and 50 female subjects. Lip prints are obtained on a white bond paper and studied involving all four quadrants. It was observed that Type I pattern was commonest lip print pattern among all the individuals and in female subjects, where as type II pattern was common among males. No two individuals had the same lip print pattern.

Abstract

Medical termination of Pregnancy Act is one such Act which was brought by the Indian Government to streamline the process of abortions conducted in India. Its rules were framed for the first time in 1972, amended in 1975, 1977, 2003, and 2009 and recently in October 2014. The main motive of passing such bills was to decrease the female foeticide rate, decrease the maternal mortality rate, improve the health of the mother and the newborn and to avoid unwanted and illegal abortion practises. In spite of these measures from the government, more than 5000 deaths due to unsafe abortions take place every year in our country. The main cause of such death related to abortion is mainly due to the ignorance of the general public towards abortion. Majority of the women, not only in the rural parts, but also in the urban regions does not know about the mere existence of the MTP law. Hence this study was aimed to estimate the level of awareness about the MTP Act among the apparently healthy reproductive age group public, visiting the hospital and apart from it, we also educate them regarding the MTP Act and its uses. Among our participants the minimum age reported was 20 and the maximum age was 45. Out of total 220, female accounted to 63.2% and male 36.8%. Among them married people accounted for 69.5%, unmarried 28.2% and others were 2.3%. 42.3% of people had history of abortion their family but 64% of people doesn’t know whether the conducted abortion was a legal or a illegal one. Eleven questions were asked to the participants and an initial assessment of their knowledge was done with the help of a questionnaire. After this immediately, educational intervention was carried out about the law and after a gap period of one month the participants were asked the same questions as before using telecommunication device and their knowledge was tested.

Abstract

Accidents are an intentional act which is not a voluntary act done by the people. Accidents, tragically, are not often due to ignorance, but are due to carelessness, thoughtlessness and over confidence [1]. Human, vehicle and environmental factors play roles before, during and after a trauma event. Accidents, therefore, can be studied in terms of agent, host and environmental factors and epidemiologically classified into time, place and nature of injury.

Abstract

The word ‘poison’ has been evolved from the Latin word ‘potion’ i.e. ‘to drink for health’, but in the due course of time the definition of ‘poison’ has changed reversibly to its present form i.e. any substance which when administered, inhaled or ingested is capable of acting deleteriously on the human body. In the current study we have aimed at determining the demographic profile of poison cases reporting to our institute. This prospective study was carried out involving 353 cases of poisoning admitted in Sri Ramachandra Medical College & Research Institute, Sri Ramachandra University, Porur, Chennai, during the period of June 2014- June 2015. Age-wise distribution of poisoning cases revealed that the maximum cases are in the age group of 20-29 years and the incidence decreased as the age increases. It is evident that the incidence of poisoning is more in case of females when compared to males. Occupation-wise distribution revealed poisoning is more common among people who are skilled workers contributing 167 cases. Socio economic status wise distribution revealed poisoning is more common among the people who belong to Upper middle (52%), followed by 33% of cases belong to Middle class. Poisoning is more common among married people when compared to unmarried people. Out of 353 cases, 203 cases were married, which accounts for 58%, 150 cases were unmarried, which accounts for 48%. Distribution of the study population based on the type of family revealed that out of total 353 cases, 299 cases belonged to nuclear family. Persons who belong to joint family were 46 in number.

Abstract

70(35 male and 35 females) children aged between 11 to 18 years were studied for ossification of elbow joint radiologically, 4(11.4%) were 11 years 5(14.2%) were 12 years, 7 (20%) were 13 years of age, 5(14.2%) were 14 years, 3(8.57%) were 15 years were 16 years, 3 (8.57%) were 17 years and 4 (11.4%) were 18 years old. The radiological study of elbow joint was Appearance of trochlea was observed only in female at 11 year. Fusion of trochlea was in males at 14 to 15 years of age and in 12 to 14 years in females. Appearance of lateral Epicondyle in male was 11 to 12 years but in females at 11 years only. Fusion of lat epicondyle in males was between 13 to 16 years and in females 13 to 14 years. Fusion of medial epicondyle in males was between 14 to 16 years but in females between 11 to 15 years. Fusion of head of Radius in males between 14 to 16 years of age but in females between 11 to 13 years only.
