Abstract

Objective: The present study was performed to evaluate the variation in shapes of mandibular condyle, determine the predominant shape and to assess any peculiarities in either gender in an Orthopantamogram(OPG). Materials and Method: Radiographic evaluation of 3200 condylar heads after analyzing 1600 digitalized OPG’s were done. On analyzing, there were four different morphology of condyles observed. Variations occurring in the shapes were assessed, and combinations of the condylar shapes present in the population were established. Result: Of 1600 pairs of condylar heads evaluated, 78% were oval in shape, followed by diamond (12%), crooked finger (6%) and least being bird beak (3%). Oval-oval was commonly occurring combination (60.5%) whereas crooked finger-bird beak combination was found to be very rare. Conclusion: Dental professionals must have thorough knowledge in differentiating between normal and abnormal condyle morphology in an OPG as it possess a diagnostic challenge for them. Asymmetries that occur in condyle morphologies radiographically in absence of clinical signs and symptoms of TMDs are considered to be normal.

Abstract

Heavy metals can incorporate into humans by contaminated drinking water and can then be distributed into different tissues, which leads to an internal accumulation that can induce different alterations, adverse effects and acute/chronic metal poisoning. Nails can be used as bio-indicator for biological monitoring for the purpose of forensic examination in poisoning cases, assessment of metal exposures, as occupational marker and for health risk assessment. This paper deals with the comparative quantitative study of iron, lead, zinc, cadmium, copper and nickel concentration in nails of male subjects drinking and not drinking water from river. The levels of these metals were analyzed by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The result of this study showed Fe and Cu were significantly higher in concentration in the nail samples of people consuming river water whereas Zn concentration was slightly higher in the nail sample of people not consuming river water and Cd, Ni and Pb showed negative result in the both type of subjects. The present comparative study showed significant difference in heavy metal concentration in both the type of subjects. So it can be stated that people consuming river water are more affected, due to continuous exposure from these metal through the river. This study can prove that nail samples can be used as biological indicator and biological monitoring tool for assessment of heavy metal.

Abstract

Background: The apical epithelial surfaces of mammalian respiratory, gastrointestinal, and reproductive tracts are coated by mucus, a mixture of water, ions, glycoproteins, proteins, and lipids. Mucins are mainly of two types- Neutral and Acidic. Mucus plays an important role in reproductive function and defence of the female reproductive tract. Objectives: To know the mucin distribution in normal endocervical glands. Methodology: This is a retrospective, observational , analytical, case control study aimed to evaluate mucin histochemical pattern in normal endocervical glands. Ten histologically proven blocks of normal endocervical glands were taken. Tissue sections were stained by, PAS, PAS-diastase, Phenylhydrazine-PAS, Alcian blue pH 2.5, Alcian Blue pH 1, combined Alcian blue-PAS, Aldehyde fuschin and combined Aldehyde fuchsin Alcian blue techniques. Results: Results were tabulated according to colour intensity into different grades ranging from + to ++++. Regarding mucin histochemistry of normal endocervical glands; the epithelium and glands show mixture of both neutral and acidic mucins. Acidic mucins are more in amount than neutral. In acidic mucins, sialomucins are predominantly seen. Conclusion: Mucin histochemical patterns serve as valuable, cost-effective tool for diagnosis in histopathology and for the researchers in histology, where a slight change in the mucin pattern may help in the early diagnosis of the disease process.

Abstract

Objectives: Low back pain in postnatal women is a major issue. So, lumbar curvature is a key feature to maintain core strength for which it has to be assessed. The individual variations in spinal curvature and lordotic pattern signifies the bio mechanics of the spine and it responds according to the load / activities. To find out the pre-test measures of flexibility, functional capacity and discomfort level related to lumbar spine in the subjects with postural dysfunctions. To find out the post-test flexibility, functional capacity and discomfort level in the subjects with postural dysfunctions. To analyze the difference between the pre-test and post-test values. People should also have awareness about the posture maintenance. So, early assessment is necessary. Also secondary factors like the type of shoes wear, Occupation and Lifestyle can influence the spinal curvatures which can be dealt with easier with the outcome of the research. Methodology: In this experimental study, 29 people with age group of 25 to 60 years who have chronic low back pain. Their lumbar spine flexibility, functional capacity, and discomfort level was measured pre-test and post-test. Results were obtained and compared. Result: The average mean value of lumbar spine flexibility pre-test measured with schober test was 1.81 while post-test was 2.08. Average mean value of VAS for lumbar spine was 6.06 while post-test was 3.24. Average mean value for pre-test functional capacity measured with 6 min walk test was647.58 while post test was 665.17. Conclusion: On comparing summary score of lumbar spine flexibility, VAS, and functional capacity, the differences showed were 0.27 cms, 2.82, 17.59 metres respectively.
