Study of communication between musculocutaneous and median nerves in man
DiscussionThe incidence of communication between musculocutaneous and median nerve is quite high (42%). Previous studies carried out in different countries and ethnicities showed abnormal communication between these two nerves ranged from 6–68%.Lesions of communicating nerve may give rise to pattern of weakness that may impose difficulty in diagnosis. So it is important to have awareness of these variations that are observed and discussed in present study. (Source: Journal of the Anatomical Society of India)

The acromial morphology and its implication in impingement syndrome: An anatomical study
DiscussionOur study may suggest that in Indian population, 13.33% population is at risk of impingement syndrome according to the thickness of acromion. In addition, angles of acromion tilt and acromion slope are larger in Indian scapulae as compare to that of other countries. This knowledge would be useful for orthopaedic surgeons and radiologists.

Anatomical and molecular studies of cytochrome P450 family CYP7A1 gene polymorphism and its association with gallstone in north Indian population
In this study, we have mainly focused on the molecular and biochemical aspects to know the cause of gall stone diseases in human. To know about these problems, there may be necessitating initiating interest in researchers of this field and to set up easily available tools and techniques. The screening of polymorphism with molecular approaches of P450 super family CYP7A1 gene was performed to explore its relation with gallstone diseases.MethodsTotal 300 samples (150 patients and 150 controls) were analyzed for the study. The polymorphisms were analyzed by PCR followed by RFLP with BsaI restriction enzyme. The lipid profile ...

A morphometric study of human middle ear ossicles in cadaveric temporal bones of Indian population and a comparative analysis
DiscussionMorphometric data obtained in the present study can be useful for the reconstructive procedures. Preoperative radiological assessment is advised for these small bones. The present study also emphasizes on the future directions where in reconstructive procedures can be improved with the artistic renderings of the blueprints provided, for new prosthetic designs which can be manufactured by using Teflon materials.

Proximal attachment of long head of biceps brachii to the bicipital tubercle of scapula and its functional significance
ConclusionThe efficiency of action of LHB is enhanced by its getting a firm attachment to the bicipital tubercle (BT). Thus in man the origin of the tendon of LHB has shifted from only the SGT to SGT plus labrum, and further has got an additional attachment to BT. This attachment to the BT seems to have been overlooked and demands its inclusion in all the future studies. (Source: Journal of the Anatomical Society of India)

Comparing safety margin of innervation points of the subscapular nerves from the base and tip of the coracoid process
DiscussionGreater margin of safety for upper and lower subscapular nerves was observed with the arm in neutral position in comparison to 30° abduction with external rotation position and base of coracoid could be more dependable landmark than its tip.

Gestational diabetes reduced sertoli cells in 12 weeks age rat offsprings testis
This study was done to evaluate the effect of induced gestational diabetes on seminiferous tubule of 12 weeks age offspring rats.Methods10 Wistar rats' dams were randomly allocated to control and diabetic groups. Streptozotocin was used to induce diabetes in female rats. Dams in diabetic group received 40 mg/kg/BW of streptozotocin at the first day of gestation and control group animals received an equivalent volume of normal saline by intraperitoneally. Six offspring of each group were randomly selected on day 84 postnatal. Five micrometer sections were taken from testes, stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Photograp...

The articular surfaces of the proximal segment of ulna: Morphometry and morphomechanics based on digital image analysis and concepts of fractal geometry
DiscussionA precise conclusion was reached in relation to morphometry, volumetry and the pertinent biomechanics of the proximal segment of the ulna. Key findings are of value to biomedical engineers, medical professionals including orthopaedic surgeons and rheumatologists, evolutionary biologist, and physical anthropologist. Data from this study can be used to (reverse) engineer the perfect implant for the elbow joint. (Source: Journal of the Anatomical Society of India)

Anatomical variations of the formation of human sural nerve in stillborns
This study was performed to ensure an anatomical and morphometrical description of the sural nerve and its components in 18 embalmed stillborns. Due to its great importance in neurosurgery and plastic surgery, the formation type, course and formation level of the sural nerve have been studied on different races and age groups since the beginning of the last century.

Myocardial bridging ‘a double-edged sword’: Analysis and significance
The objectives under study were to validate the prevalence and segments of coronaries with myocardial bridging, length and diameter of bridging segments and cardiac dominance patterns among a west coastal population of Kerala and Karnataka, India from coronary angiogram reports. The co-relation of bridged segments and cardiac dominance patterns in diseased and non-diseased coronary arteries were assessed to find out the significance of both in CAD.Materials and MethodsThe angiograms were obtained from K.S Hegde Medical Academy and Hospital, Karnataka after procuring the ethical clearance. 1000 cases with clinical symptoms,...
