Histopathology of the tumour mass is best in confirmation of the diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":115147,"journal":{"name":"MOJ Anatomy & Physiology","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121263279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the non-voice process includes data encoding, database development, market research, handling of credit billing problems, loan processing, account management etc, the voice sector is often interchangeably referred to as the ‘Call Centre industry’ because the service entails interactive communication with the client or customers over the telephone.1 The call centre industry has emerged as one of the largest private sector employers in India, providing direct/indirect employment to more than 4.5 million people, with about 50% of employees around 25 years of age. The industry has grown by about 17% during the recent years providing more job opportunities.1 The nature of job in call centres leads to ‘Burnout Stress Syndrome’ (BOSS) characterized by chronic fatigue, insomnia and alteration of the 24-hour biological rhythm, which affects not only sleep but also proper functioning of the other body functions.

A 3 x 3 Factorial Design was used, 9 treatments with 5 repetitions and 2 animals per repetition, considering: Factor 1: UV radiation time (0, 5 and 10minutes) and Factor 2: Acetic acid concentration (0, 2 and 4%). A total of 45 experimental units were analyzed. The parameter evaluated was meat quality: nutritional, microbiological, physical, chemical and organoleptic characteristics. For this research, it was used the statistical program SAS (Statistical Analysis System) using Duncan’s mean comparative test to analyze the variance of the data and differences between treatments. Friedman test and Scalar difference test were used to evaluate the sensory analysis. The ultraviolet radiation combined with acetic acid enhances the antimicrobial activity and improves the quality of guinea pig meat, increasing its shelf life as this was observed in the combined treatments with 5 and 10minutes of UVR with 2% and 4% of AA. The protein, ethereal extract, ashes and nitrogen-free extract of guinea pig meat were not altered in the 9 treatments by the application of UVR and AA. The moisture and dry matter of guinea pig meat are maintained with the application of UVR and AA and the organoleptic characteristics (smell, color, taste, juiciness and, texture) of the meat were not altered by the application of UVR and AA, being the treatment with 10’UV+4%AA, which presented the greatest preference, compared with 10’UV+0%, both did not show any microbial load but 10’UV+4% presented much preference than 10’UV+0%AA. There was no statistical difference between treatments.

Normally brachial artery is a continuation of axillary artery at the inferior border of teres major muscle in axilla. Towards the distal end, it lies medial to the bicipital aponeurosis. At the level of neck of radius, in cubital fossa, artery bifurcates into two terminal branches, medially ulnar artery and laterally radial artery [2]. At the wrist, superficial and deep branches of ulnar artery form superficial palmar arch and deep palmar arch along with two branches of radial artery and radial artery runs laterally through anatomical snuff box located in between two heads of dorsal interosseous muscles [3]. There are many articles reporting variation of division of brachial artery at different levels, but mid arm variation i.e, bifurcation at the level of insertion of coracobrachialis muscle is of common occurrence [4]. Normal vascular development including patterning of the blood vessels is influenced by local hemodynamic factors. Altered hemodynamic environment may give rise to variant patterning of blood vessels [5]. Like bifurcation of brachial artery into ulnar and radial artery, there may be trifurcation of brachial artery into ulnar, radial and anterointerossei artery. Sometimes brachial artery may terminate into ulnar, radial and radial recurrent artery. Again brachial artery may trifurcate into radial, ulnar and superior ulnar collateral artery. Variations in upper limb arteries are fairly common. Major variation is present in about 25% of the subjects studied for brachial artery. The first reported arterial variation in upper limb was by Von Haller in 1813. Incidence of high division of brachial artery is 25% in various population of the world. The highest percentage of brachial artery variation is mainly trifurcation of brachial artery. Arey in 1957 highlighted that there may be persistence of vessels which normally disappear and obliterations of those which normally do exist. This is largely due to altered hemodynamic environment [6]. Effect 6 knowledge of this variation is important for day to day practice for measurement of blood pressure using sphygmomanometer cuff in the arm. Knowledge of this variation is also important to carryout surgical interventions in arm [7].","PeriodicalId":115147,"journal":{"name":"MOJ Anatomy & Physiology","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117265546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
