It is demarcated by dense thin white line and is used to measure the position of maxilla & mandible in relation to the cranial base and to themselves. Various studies have found an association between morphological variations of sella to malocclusion and also gender differences have been noted. This retrospective study was carried out to evaluate these morphological variations of sella turcica and its relation to type of malocclusion. Aim: To determine dimensions and morphological variations of sella turcica in different age groups & correlation between sella and type of malocclusion. Materials And Methods: 200 lateral cephalometric images of the patients more than age group of 8 years and less than 25 years were selected. The morphological variations, linear measurements of sella turcica and the skeletal type classification, based on ANB angle was determined. Length, depth, antero-posterior diameter (linear dimentions) were measured and correlated with the type of malocclusion. Results: Out of the total sample studied, it was found that, when linear measurements were assessed, there was statistically significant difference found between the length and antero-posterior diameter of sella turcica. When skeletal type malocclusion was assessed, there was no significant correlation found between sella morphology, linear dimensions and the different types of malocclusion. Conclusion: The study showed significant correlation between the length and the anteroposterior diameter with the advancing age which signifies that growth of the individual can be assessed based on the size of sella turcica at different age periods.","PeriodicalId":14489,"journal":{"name":"IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences","volume":"21 1","pages":"126-132"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87795867","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}

Digital imaging techniques, being objective and reproducible, have advantages over human assessment of wounds. In this cross-sectional, prospective study, conducted in a teaching hospital in Western India, images of 45 chronic leg ulcers were obtained using a digital camera to objectively analyze ulcer images with the help a software system. The clinical state of ulcers was documented by a wound score by the first observer and the readings of Red-Yellow-Black-Pink components of the ulcer-images were taken using ImageJ software by the second observer. The data were analyzed using appropriate statistical tests. The leg ulcers were classified clinically into four categories: Healing, Inflamed, Slough and Necrotic, as per Applied Wound Management assessment tool. The clinical score and Red-Yellow-Black-Pink colour analysis using ImageJ were obtained. The inter-rater analysis using linear weighted kappa (K) was highly significant (K=0.833; 95% CI: 0.709 to 0.957), indicating excellent agreement.

Diagnosis is based on the identification of predominant cell pattern, cell morphology and background details. Fine needle non-aspiration cytology (FNNAC) avoids aspiration, uses capillary action of the fine needle. It is more patient friendly with less pain and better perception of lesion. Aim of the study: To evaluate the results ofFine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) and Fine Needle Non Aspiration Cytology (FNNAC) in diagnosis of thyroid lesions. Materials and Methods: One-year observational, prospective study was conducted on patients with palpable thyroid lesions in the Department of Pathology, Government Medical College, Jammu. Patients were investigated with a thyroid function test and a needle biopsy. Both FNAC and FNNAC techniques were performed simultaneously at the same site by the same investigator. Points were allocated to each specimen according to Mair et al. scoring system and categorized as follows: unsuitable for cytodiagnosis (0-2 points), diagnostically adequate (3-6 points) and diagnostically superior (7-10 points). Results: A total of 140 patients with palpable thyroid lesions were subjected to needle biopsies. Females dominated the study with female to male ratio of 5.36:1. Non-neoplastic lesions were observed in 89.29% and neoplastic in 10.71% cases. . The cumulative score was found significantly more in case of FNNAC than FNAC (946 vs 784; p<0.0001). For diagnostically superior category, results of both FNAC and FNNAC were comparable. Conclusion: FNAC smears produced adequate results in more cases. FNNAC was more diagnostically superior. It causes less damage to tissue, less artefacts and allows better perception of lesion. FNNAC is a good technique that should be used alone or in combination with FNAC for better diagnostic yield.","PeriodicalId":14489,"journal":{"name":"IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences","volume":"48 1","pages":"99-104"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76237366","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}

Excessive instream sand mining causes the degradation of rivers and creating ecological imbalance. Instream mining lowers the stream bottom, which may lead to bank erosion and may lead for river meandering. It is the need of the hour to investigate for a suitable alternative material for sand like stone crusher powder and granite fines etc. which are available abundantly from crusher units and granite industries. Use of stone crusher powder proves to be economical and eco-friendly which generally considered as unused. The investigations indicate that stone crusher powder has the similar characteristics and performances as that of river sand. In this paper an attempt has been made to investigate the replacement of sand with Stone crusher powder. Strength behavior of concrete with the use of stone crusher powder as a replacement of fine aggregates in different proportions is discussed.

There are variations in the position of mental foramen in different populations. These variations indicate accurate detection of mental foramen position which result in safer dental procedures. Aim: To carry out a morphometric assessment of the mental foramen in patients with different facial types. Material and Methods:Ninety computerized cone beam tomographic scans from brachycephalic (n=30), dolicocephalic (n=30) and mesocephalic (n=30) facial types were used. Computerized cone beam tomographic scans were obtained using a Tomographic I Cat Unit and the Dolphin Imaging 11.0 Program. The mental foramen position was evaluated and compared in the three subgroups. The Bartlett and Shapiro-Wilk ́s tests were used to evaluate the homogeneity of the variances. Influence of the three facial types on cephalometric measurements was evaluated using two way ANOVA and Tukey ́s test. Correlationsbetweenage and some measurements of interest were assessed using Pearson ́s moment correlation test Results:Mental foramen height was slightly smaller in females. Facial types influenced the following measurements: distance from the apex of the second lower bicuspid to the upper border of the mental foramen and distance from the lower border of the mental foramen to thelower border of the mandible. Statistical differences were observed betweenmesocephalic and brachycephalic subjects (p<0.05) and between mesocephalic and dolicocephalic ones (p<0.05). Mental foramen height was smaller in mesocephalic subjects (p<0.05). Mental foramenwidthwas smaller only in the left side in mesocephalic subjects. Distance between the buccal cortical and lingual cortical of the mental foramen was smaller in mesocephalic than in brachycephalic and dolicephalic subjects (p<0.05). A higher number of mental foramina were positioned between bicuspids and along the long axis of the second bicuspids: 74% and 20% respectively. An oval mental foramen was found more frequently: (80.6%) in mesocephalics; (77.4%) in brachycephalics and (86%) in dolicocephalics subjects. A circular shape was observed in 19%; 22%; and 13% in mesocephalic, brachycephalic and dolicocephalic individuals, respectively. Conclusion: Some measurements of the mental foramen may be different among facial type subjects. Distribution and shape of the mental foramen are similar in the three facial types.","PeriodicalId":14489,"journal":{"name":"IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences","volume":"19 1","pages":"78-85"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74233400","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}
