Abstract

35 male and 35 females adult, non pathological dried sacra were studied. The height and width was measured with vernier caliper. In comparison of height of sacrum, the mean value of male was 106.4(SD±0.30) and female 90.1(SD±0.16), ‘t’ test was 395, and P value was highly significant (P<0.01). In the comparative study of width of the sacrum mean value of males was 99.3 (SD±0.44) and female was 112 (SD±0.08) ‘t’ test was 122.65 and P value was highly significant (P<0.01). The sacral Index of male was 93.3 and female was 124.27. This significant value to differentiate the male and female genders will be quite useful to medico legal expert anthropologist and anatomist because these obtained value represent the regional or ethnic study of sacra. Moreover morphometric values of mesodermal derivatives are un-certain.

Abstract

Introduction: The incidence of PIH is about 8-10% of pregnancies. Hypertensive disorder of pregnancy if unchecked will result in eclampsia with generalized convulsions, HELLP syndrome etc. It is usually managed with medicines. There are various non-pharmacological treatment like muscle relaxation, meditation, breathing etc. which are used to control of hypertension. Present study was aimed to assess the effectiveness of audio assisted relaxation therapy on level of blood pressure among mother with pregnancy induced hypertension. Method: Experimental approach with one group pretest- posttest design was used for the study. Study was conducted among 30 antenatal mothers diagnosed with PIH admitted in Kamla Nehru Hospital, Shimla H.P, selected by using convenience sampling technique. Semi structured interview schedule is used to collect background information and sphygmomanometer was used to measure the level of blood pressure. The blood pressure (BP) was monitored three times a day for two days to obtain a baseline data and average of it was considered as pre-test. Audio assisted relaxation therapy was then administered for 20 minutes per sessions, two times a day for three days. The blood pressure (BP) was monitored before and after each session of relaxation therapy Results: The mean posttest systolic is BP, 139.81 mm of Hg was significantly lower than the mean pretest systolic BP, 146.45 mm of Hg. The mean posttest diastolic BP, 87.63 mm of Hg was also lower than the mean pretest diastolic BP, 92.06 mm. Both differences were significant at the level of <0.001. Discussion: The result of present study shows there is a significant difference in BP before and after intervention. So audio assisted relaxation therapy can be used as an effective add on intervention for the management of with women hypertension during pregnancy.

Abstract

Introduction:Drowning is the 3rd leading cause of unintentional injury deaths.As drowning is a preventable cause of mortality, our aims for the benefit of society at large is to minimize the events as far as possible. Objective:A clear knowledge about factors which play a major role behind such incidences is important.It has equal forensic importance as determination of cause and manner of death require thorough investigation. Methodology: We conducted one-year study of demographic variables and the histopathological changes in relation to lung and splenic tissues in cases of drowning deaths, in the hot and humid climatic region of Eastern India.Results: The demographic findings were presented in graphs and charts. However, none of the commonly known autopsy findings (histopathological) are found to be individually confirmatory of drowning. Conclusion:Several factors inclusive of autopsy findings, biochemical examination, radiological and molecular technique,are needed to be taken together as complementary methods to conclude drowning as the cause of death when bodies are recovered from water.

Abstract

Background: Aim of the present study is to fix the deepest point in the curvature of greater sciatic notch for measuring or calculating maximum depth. Material and Method: Hip bones of each sex (30 male and 30 female) were divided in two groups consisting of 15 bones in each group. For first group the farthest point from the maximum width of greater sciatic notch was taken as the deepest point. For the second group the point of first touch from arcuate line onto the greater sciatic notch curvature was taken as the deepest point. Maximum depth of greater sciatic notch was calculated from that point for both groups. The maximum depth of greater sciatic notch for each sex were checked for any statistical difference between the two groups by using two tailed t-test to calculate the p-value. Result: p-value, for maximum depth of greater sciatic notch between group 1 and 2 was found to be 0.149 for male hip bones and 0.8883 for female hip bones. Statistically there was no significant difference in the maximum depth of greater sciatic notch calculated by fixing the deepest point either from maximum width of greater sciatic notch or from arcuate line. Conclusion: We can use the point of first touch from arcuate line to greater sciatic notch as the point of maximum depth of greater sciatic notch.

Abstract

Depression is characterized by symptoms like sad mood, loss of interest and pleasure, low energy, worthlessness, guilt, psychomotor retardation or agitation, change in appetite and/or sleep and suicidal thoughts, etc. It may be a unipolar or a bipolar cyclic disorder in which cycles of mood swings from mania to depression occur over time. Fluoxetine, Fluvoxamine, Paroxetine, Sertraline, Citalopram and Escitalopram are the various SSRIs( Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) preferred as first line of drug in such conditions. Among the SSRIs, Escitalopram exerts a highly selective, potent, and dose-dependent inhibitory effect on the human serotonin transport. By inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin into presynaptic nerve endings, this drug enhances the activity of serotonin in the central nervous system. Herein we report a case of a 82 year old male who presented with altered sensorium, tachycardia, hypertension and restlessness to emergency department of our hospital. Patient was known case of Adjustment disorder with Depressed mood and was on treatment with Tablet Escitalopram 10 mg OD and Tablet Zolpidem 10 mg OD since 1 month. Patient overdosed himself with 4 Escitalopram tablets of 10 mg. He presented with features similar to serotonin syndrome.
