Aims & objectives: The aim of the present study is to analyse and interpret the axial direction course and its variations in the retrohepatic segment of inferior venacava in the Tamilnadu population. Material and Methodology: Seventy formalin-fixed adult liver specimens were taken for this study and carried out in the department of anatomy, SRMC &RI, during the year 2012-2015. To keep the liver in anatomical position to find out the axial direction in the retrohepatic segment of the inferior venacaval groove concerning the longitudinal axis of the liver, it was observed to have vertical, oblique toward left or curved toward left. Observation & Results: Our observation of the oblique axial direction of the RHIVC was close to the other observations reported by previous authors in Indians. The incidence of the left curve in the present study was close to the results reported by the majority of previous authors. The vertical orientation of RHIVC was similar to the results reported in the existing literature. In the present study in Tamilnadu population n=70, axial direction shows n=18-25.7%, vertical n=32 45.7%, oblique n=20 -28.5%. Conclusion: To conclude, this study re-emphasizes the vitality of the knowledge of the varied pattern of the retrohepatic segment of inferior vena cava in facilitating an accurate and better-designed road map for the hepatologists, liver transplant surgeons and interventional radiologists.","PeriodicalId":317608,"journal":{"name":"Scholars International Journal of Anatomy and Physiology","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122843755","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}

The objective of prsent work is to study the role of ultrasonography for estimation of gestational age and to assess of gestational age by ultrasonographic measurement of femur length. The study was carried out in the Department of Anatomy and in the Department of Radiodiagnosis at R.C.S.M.Government Medical College, Kolhapur, Maharashtra. This prospective cross sectional study consists of 150 normal antenatal women. The fetuses of singleton pregnancy with the physical evidence of normal growth without gross structural abnormalities with the gestational age ranging from18-40 weeks were included. The fetal femur length was measured by ulrasonography. The mean values of femur length in cm. along with respective standered deviation (sd) were computed for each gestaional age from 18-40 weeks.The correlation and regression analysis has been carried out to quantify the relationship between gestational age in weeks and femur length in cm. The femur length goes on increasing from 18 weeks to 40 weeks. The diphyseal length of femur is directly related to the gestational age. The simple linear regression equation derived for the calculation of gestational age using diphyseal length of femur. The relationship between the diphyseal length of femur and the gestaional age is linear and direct.Measurements of diphyseal lengths of femur can be an important parameter for estimating gestational age from 1840 weeks of gestation.","PeriodicalId":317608,"journal":{"name":"Scholars International Journal of Anatomy and Physiology","volume":"46 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132803969","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}
