RESUMO
One hundred and forty eight healthy and 152 undernourished children with varying degrees of severity were studied to see if their buccal smear correlated with undernourishment. The frankly undernourished children had retrograde changes more often than the other children. But the proportion of children showing no retrograde changes was similar in the different groups. It was concluded that buccal smear is not a dependable indicator of under nutrition.

This study was undertaken to find out the frequency of bone tumours and to evaluate the effectiveness of drill biopsy for tumourous bony lesions. A total of 182 cases of bone tumours and tumour-like lesions were studied histopathologically. Of these, 100 (54.95%) cases were found to be malignant, 45 (24.73%) benign and 28 (15.38%) tumour-like lesions. A total of 38 drill biopsies were performed where 29 cases had corresponding open biopsies. Of these, 22 cases (75.86%) had concordances in diagnosis. The overall success of drill biopsy was 73.68%.
