Abstract

Introduction: Personal identification is an important role of forensic experts during mass disasters like earth quakes, tsunamis, and plane crash etc. Stature determination is an important factor in establishing identity in forensic practice. Forensic anthropometrists use various anthropometric techniques to determine stature from such dismembered body parts. These techniques aim to derive equations from various body measurements that could estimate stature in males and females. Aim: The aim of present study is to correlate index and ring finger lengths and stature in both sexes and to derive linear regression equations to estimate stature. Materials and Method: The study was conducted in the Department of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology, M.S. Ramaiah Medical College Bangalore in the year 2019. The material consisted of 150 young and healthy students (66 males and 84 females) in the age group of 20-21 years after taking informed consent to participate in the study. Subjects of south Indian origin were selected based on their mother tongue. The data obtained were computed and analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS, version 25.0) computer software. Results: In the present study, mean stature, index finger length and ring finger length were significantly higher in males than females. Statistically significant correlation was observed between stature, index finger length and ring finger length in right and left hands. Correlation coefficient was higher among males than females. Among males left ring finger length and in females right index finger length showed more correlation with the stature. Conclusion: Sex specific linear regression formulae were derived for estimating stature from index finger length and ring finger length. Study concludes that stature can be estimated from the index finger length and ring finger lengthwith a reasonable accuracy among South Indians.

Abstract

This Prospective study was conducted to do profiling and analysis of Medico-legal cases attending the JSS Medical College and Hospital, Mysuru for a period of two years. Total 2033 Medical-legal cases which were registered during the time period were analysed. Analysing the pattern of such unnatural events, would provide a vital data for healthcare professionals, civil administrators, investigating agencies of state and judiciary to devise and implement appropriate and adequate strategies so as to reduce such incidences from happening. Majority of the cases were RTA, followed by poisoning. Among all the admitted cases, majority of the cases recovered and discharged. The mortality rate is low among the admitted cases, only 9.9% of cases were hospital deaths. Most of the cases occurred during the time period of 12.01pm to 6pm followed by 6.01pm to 12am. The age group of 21-30 years are the most frequently affected. Majority of the victims were males. Suicide by hanging is more frequent among females compared to males, despite of predominant male population among the MLCs.

Abstract

Background: To explore the various perceived causes and solutions for substance abuse among the nursing students in Mangalore, Karnataka, India. Methods: Group of nursing students belonging to the second year participated in the study. A method of free listing and pile sorting was employed to discover the causes and solutions for substance abuse. Conclusion: The primary cause of substance abuse was found to be peer pressure with a salience value of (0.945) followed by enjoyment (0.614), family problems (0.486). Cognitive mapping revealed the causes of being grouped under three major headings: psychological imbalance, adaptation to modern lifestyle, and unhealthy family environment. The solutions suggested by the students were counseling and rehabilitation with the highest salience value (0.751), awareness about the adverse effects at an early age (0.637). Cognitive mapping portrayed the solutions grouped into headings like therapies and treatment, external sources, family care, and support. Factors such as peer pressure, academic pressure, and easy availability of drugs can be looked into by external institutions to root out the evils of substance abuse

Abstract

Objective : To assess the oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL) and patient satisfaction after complete denture therapy. Methodology : Participants in the study included 60 first time complete denture wearers. OHRQoL was assessed using Oral Health Impact Profile-Edentulous(OHIP-EDENT) questionnaire; denture quality and patient satisfaction was assessed using denture quality evaluation parameters and patient satisfaction questionnaire respectively. Paired t test was used to analyse pre and post change in OHRQoL and Pearson Correlation coefficient was used to assess the co-relation between various parameters. Results: There was a statistically significant change in the mean OHIP score of patients before and after rehabilitation (p<0.001). Across the seven domains used for measuring the denture quality, stability and retention of mandibular denture showed statistically significant reduction after one month. Significant correlations were observed between the patient satisfaction parameters and the denture quality as well as OHRQoL (p= 0.001, p=0.001 and p= 0.01). Conclusion: OHRQoL improved significantly in first time denture wearers.

Abstract

Substance abuse refers to harmful or precarious use of psychoactive substances, including alcohol, cannabis and illicit drugs. It is directly and indirectly responsible for millions of morbidities each year. It is a crucial snag of present generation. Illegitimate use of psychoactive drugs can lead to lunatic illnesses. The prevalence of psychotic disorders among patients with substance abuse has attended noticeable magnitude. This study indicates that bipolar disorder is more likely to occur in patients with substance abuse. Chronic substance abuse can lead to down-regulation of concerned receptors as well as erosion of gray matter in the prefrontal cortex of brain. Hence, it would be imperative to address bipolar disorder from the perspective of potential and progressive adverse effect of substance abuse. The observation of study indicates that bipolar disorder is more prevalent in cannabis, alcohol and cocaine abuse cases. Drug abuse disorders are associated with impaired outcome of manic depression maladies that brings severe high or low moods, thinking and behavior.

Abstract

Background: Hypospadias is an abnormality of anterior urethral and penile development in which the urethral opening is ectopically located on the ventral aspect of the penis proximal to the tip of the glans penis, which, in this condition, is splayed open. [1] The urethral opening may be located as far down as in the scrotum or perineum. The penis is more likely to have associated ventral shortening and curvature, called chordee, with more proximal urethral defects. Aim: To compare the outcome of using tunica vaginalis flap to dartos flap in proximal two stage hypospadias repair in reducing post-operative complication (dehiscence and fistula). Materials and Methods: In the defined period of January 2015 to June 2018, 47 male patients with clinical diagnosis of penoscrotal hypospadias, The age of the patients range from 2 years to 10 years, All these cases were managed in 2 stages repair with buccal mucosal graft, with either tunica vginalis flap (group A) (25 cases) , or preputial dartos flap (group B)(22 cases) as a second cover over new tubularized urethra. We compared between these two groups regarding complications rate. Result: we observed that tunica vaginalis flap was better than dartos flap (although it was statistically non significant p value 0.214 > 0.05) specifically in fistula formation. Conclusion: we observed that tunica vaginalis flap had excellent outcome when used as a second layer over the neourethral suture line in term of decrease the fistula rate and wound dehiscence because of its good vascular features
