ABSTRACT
Background: Human body is studied by dissection method on unclaimed or donated human cadavers. Anatomy is of paramount importance taught for the first year M.B.B.S students all over Indian Medical Colleges since decades.Methods: Medical Institution was started in month of September 2019 with 100 intakes on merit basis. Aim was to teach the human anatomy to 1st MBBS students by dissecting the cadavers for which an Awareness programme was conducted by department of anatomy regarding to Body donation. Study was done going through and studying the donated forms with full consent in duly signed consent forms. Their age, physical conditions and mental status were taken into considerations as the yard sticks.Results: Since college has started in September 2019, there was poor response and awareness about body donation. So far fifteen live donors including 12 males and 3 females have filled their forms in perfect normal status and with NO compulsion from anybody. Five dead bodies (Cadavers) received in the Department of Anatomy of Government Medical College, Barmer for the propose of dissection to teach the 1st year MBBS students. Awareness of donation of the body is in progress.Conclusions: In the present study, authors concluded that only few people gave response in favour of awareness programme of body donation showing the lack of awareness towards the body donation. So, the study has shown the requirement of more awareness programmes about body donation among the population. It will help to clarifying any myths or/and superstition so that the general public should aware and show interest towards the body donation.
ABSTRACT
Background: Flexor digitorum breves is an intrinsic muscle of the sole of the foot that lies superior to the central part of planter apponurosis and inferior to the tendons of flexor digitorum longus. This flat spindle shaped muscle arise from the medial process of tuber calcanei, proximal part of planter apponurosis, inter muscular septa and adjacent fascial layers. The muscle fiber conver anteriorly forming four tendons one each for the four lateral toes at the bases of proximal phalenges each tendon splits into two slips around the tendon of flexor digitorum longus, reunites into a chiasma, devides again to insert into margins of intermediate phalenges of lateral four toes. Methods: This study was carried out by routine dissection classes for undergraduate medical students classes from July 2010 to January 2014 in the department of anatomy, Teerthanker Mahaveer medical college Moradabad; department of anatomy, Rama medical college Kanpur; Department of Anatomy, Hamdard Institute of Medical Science & Research, Jamia Hamdard New Delhi. Total no. of 80 cadavers (48 male and 32 female) all the cadavers were been preserved in 10% of formalin and age ranged between 45 to 67 years. Results: Summarising the result indicates out of 80 cadavers 25% were having none anatomical variation, 46% of cadavers had bilateral absence of tendon for fifth toe of flexor digitorum breves while 18% of cadavers having variation on the left foot and rare 9% of cadavers were represented having variation on the right foot while the left foot was anatomically normal. Conclusion: Variation of flexor digitorum breves may occur as phylogenetical changes due to minimal use of little toe in evolved bipedal posture.
ABSTRACT
Background: In the investigation of fever, Malaria and Typhoid are major health problems in tropical and subtropical countries. Both cause significant morbidity, mortality and economic loss. The aim of study is to evaluate the prevalence of Malaria and Typhoid. Methods: Five hundred three samples were collected from patients suspected for malaria and typhoid fever. Peripheral blood smears (thick and thin) were used for microscopic examination and also malaria card test used for malaria parasite. For Typhoid, Widal agglutination test and Typhi dot IgG/IgM conducted for the identification of antibodies. Result: The study indicated that out of 503 patients, in which 158 male (69%) followed by 71 female (31%) were found positive. The prevalence rate of infection was 45.52%. Conclusion: The prevalence rate of malaria and typhoid fever was high. Salmonella typhi appears to be the most prevalent species infecting people. In other studies prevalence rate were quite low. Most of the studies should be done on the other determinants of plasmodium, salmonella and their co-infection in different format of diagnosis and case study.
