    Abstract Myotendinous junction is the transition zone between the muscle and its tendon. Hence, it is subject to immense stress within the muscle. In this study, it is found that muscles having a greater tensile have a more arranged myotendinous junction compared to muscles with lesser tensile strength. Cadaveric specimens - plantaris, gastrocnemius, and soleus have been histologically studied to study the same.

    Abstract Introduction A normal atrioventricular valve complex of the heart consists of the atrioventricular (A-V) ring, cusps, chordae tendineae, and papillary muscles. The right ventricle contains three while the left ventricle contains only two papillary muscles, which are named according to their location. A thorough understanding of the normal anatomy as well as possible variations can help surgeons in various corrective surgeries involving papillary muscles. Material & methods The study included 50 formalin-preserved hearts procured from human cadavers of unknown age and cause of death. The number of papillary muscles along with their shape, size, and pattern were noted separately for each ventricle. Data were analyzed using SPSS Version 21.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY). Results The left and right ventricles contained two and three papillary muscles, respectively, in all the hearts. In the right ventricles, conical shape and the single base and divided apex (SBDA) pattern were found to be most prevalent. Anterior papillary muscles exhibited the mean length of 12.71±3.81 and 16.41±4.33 in the right and left ventricles, respectively. Similarly, posterior papillary muscles exhibited a mean length of 12.40±3.03 and 14.64±3.92 in the right and left ventricles, respectively. Both differences were found to be statistically significant Conclusion For the appropriate functioning of valves, both anatomical and mechanical coherence of the papillary muscles is required. A very keen understanding of this valvular complex is thus essential for anatomists, physiologists, and cardiologists to deal with normal as well as pathological valvular conditions.

    Abstract Background of the study To assess the prenatal development of the human liver between 12-36 weeks of gestational age by measuring morphometric parameters using conventional autopsy and to evaluate the morphometric parameters of the human fetus and its liver and their correlation to predict the gestation age. Materials & methods The present study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh, India, on 33 normal fetuses of gestational age 12-36 weeks collected from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the same institute. which were classified into five groups: A (12-16 weeks), B (17-21 weeks), C (22-26 weeks), D (27-31 weeks), and E (32-36 weeks). The parameters measured were liver weight, liver volume, transverse diameter, sagittal diameter, vertical length, length, and width of all four lobes of the liver, i.e., right, left, caudate and quadrate lobe. Also, general morphometric parameters of the fetuses were measured like fetal body weight, crown-rump length, crown-heel length, biparietal diameter, head circumference, chest circumference, abdominal circumference, hand length, foot length, inner inter-canthal distance, outer inter-canthal distance. The obtained data were statistically analyzed using ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation was assessed. Results There was a statistically significant increase amongst all the fetal general parameters and parameters of liver except bi-parietal diameter, p-value <0.001. The bi-parietal diameter was weakly statistically significant correlated with all other parameters except with chest circumference, crown-heel length, length and width of caudate lobe, and the width of the quadrate lobe and left lobe where it was statistically non-significant. Conclusion Bi-parietal diameter is a statistically non-significant parameter to calculate gestation age. The knowledge of morphological features and normal limits of dimensions of the liver with respect to gestational age is a reliable reference to help to prevent misdiagnosis of various pathological conditions of the liver like cirrhosis, hepatomegaly, fetal anemia, intrauterine growth retardation, congenital anomalies like Down's Syndrome, etc.

    Abstract This paper proposes a deep image analysis-based model for glaucoma diagnosis that uses several features to detect the formation of glaucoma in retinal fundus. These features are combined with most extracted parameters like inferior, superior, nasal, and temporal region area, and cup-to-disc ratio that overall forms a deep image analysis. This proposed model is exercised to investigate the various aspects related to the prediction of glaucoma in retinal fundus images that help the ophthalmologist in making better decisions for the human eye. The proposed model is presented with the combination of four machine learning algorithms that provide the classification accuracy of 98.60% while other existing models like support vector machine (SVM), K-nearest neighbors (KNN), and Naïve Bayes provide individually with accuracies of 97.61%, 90.47%, and 95.23% respectively. These results clearly demonstrate that this proposed model offers the best methodology to an early diagnosis of glaucoma in retinal fundus.

    Abstract Introduction Reflection is the intentional evaluation of one's beliefs or understanding in consideration of the available evidence. Reflection has been noted to enhance profound learning and critical thinking and is an essential foundation of experiential learning. The Reflective Practice Questionnaire (RPQ) is a valid and reliable tool for assessing reflective capacity among medical students. It assesses not only reflective capacity but also other psychological constructs relevant to reflective practice, such as job satisfaction, confidence while interacting with patients, stress during patient interaction, desire for improvement, and feelings of uncertainty. The use of RPQ as a diagnostic tool for improving reflective capacity among medical students is scarcely available in the literature. Thus, the present study aimed to utilize the RPQ for identifying discrete action points for training and future improvement in reflective capacity. Materials and methods The present cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among 300 medical students of a medical college. To identify the clusters or meaningful subgroups within the study population, cluster analysis was done. Inter-correlation between subscales of RPQ was performed by forming Pearson's correlation matrix to understand the dynamics between various subscales of RPQ. Results Five groups were identified in the cluster analysis: typical (25.6%), reflective (27%), non-reflective (16.7%), unconfident (14%), and overconfident (16.7%). This sets the template for specific action points for each group identified above. Reflective capacity was positively correlated with Desire for Improvement (DfI), General Confidence (CG), Communication Confidence (CC), and Job Satisfaction (JS). It was also positively correlated with negative outcomes such as Uncertainty (Unc) and Stress when Interacting with Patients (SiC). Conclusion RPQ can be used as a diagnostic tool in terms of reflective capacity for action research.

    Abstract Background: The course and variations of thyroid arteries must be understood by surgeons to prevent bleeding during operative procedures of the thyroid gland. There is limited scientific literature regarding the radiological anatomy of thyroid arteries in this geographical area, the Garhwal region of Sub-Himalayan belt, which is considered to be the endemic belt of goiter. Computed tomography angiography provides a three-dimensional orientation of the vascular and surgical anatomy of the entire cervical region.
    Aim: To estimate the proportion of variation in origin of thyroid arteries using Computed Tomography Angiography.
    Methods: Using Computed Tomography Angiography, the presence and origin of the superior thyroid artery, inferior thyroid artery, and thyroid ima artery were observed and assessed.
    Results: Out of total 210 subjects, superior thyroid artery was seen to be emerging from external carotid artery in 77.1% cases. The artery was found to be originating at the level of bifurcation of common carotid artery in 14.3% cases, whereas in 8.6% cases, it emerged as a direct branch of the common carotid artery. Similarly, the inferior thyroid artery was observed to be emerging from thyrocervical trunk, subclavian artery and vertebral artery in 95.7% cases, 3.3% and 1% cases, respectively. Thyroid ima artery was also reported in a subject, arising from the brachiocephalic trunk.
    Conclusion: To avoid vascular injuries, excessive and uncontrollable bleeding, intra-operative difficulties, and post-operative issues, it is imperative for surgeons to be aware of the course and variations of thyroid arteries.

    Abstract An epidemic that occurs worldwide, involving many countries and affecting a large population is called as a pandemic. The ongoing corona virus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has not only adversely affected the global healthcare infrastructure, but has significantly impacted world economy, socio-political and cultural environment. There are 219 different types of viruses, known at present to be able to infect human beings. This number is just a tip of the iceberg, with the possibility of a substantial pool of undiscovered human viruses and millions of other virus species (which affect plants and non-human animals) that can be potentially infectious to humans as well. Throughout human history there have been numerous pandemics and disease outbreaks that have not only led to huge loss of life, but also hindered economic growth and development. Therefore, in this review article we wanted to highlight major viral pandemics that have occurred in the last two decades, to understand factors contributing to their emergence, transmission and suggest ways to curb future outbreaks.

    Abstract Introduction: Ethephon, 2-choloroethylphosphonic acid, has been recognized as one of the most widely used plant growth regulator. Currently it is commonly used on fruits, vegetables, cereals, for promoting pre-harvest and post-harvest ripening and has become one of the major health concerns as we are exposed to this constantly. Rationale: Liver plays an important role in the first pass metabolism of ethephon and its metabolites are known to cause various disturbances in the liver enzymes. Objectives: The present study was conducted to study the effects of ethephon on histomorphology and morphometry of liver of adult wistar albino rats. Material and Methods: Ten experimental rats were administered 200mg/kg bodyweight by oral gavage for fourteen days. Ten Controls were also maintained. Animals of both groups were sacrificed within twenty four hours of the last dose; liver was dissected and processed for light microscopy. Haematoxylin and eosin stained sections were studied using an image pro-express analyzer. The data obtained from control and experimental groups was tabulated and statistically analyzed. Results: The mean body weight of the experimental rats was found to be decreased significantly (p<0.05). The liver capsule was thickened and infiltrated with inflammatory and red blood cells. The orderly arrangement of hepatocytes was disrupted and was replaced by blood filled large sinusoids. At sites hepatocytes appeared to be degenerated. Councilman bodies with pyknotic nuclei and inflammatory infiltrations were observed. The hepatocyte count per unit area was significantly decreased among experimental rats (29.53±10.65) when compared with control rats (44.18±10.31). However, the kupffer cell count per unit area was significantly higher among experimental rats (25.12 ± 4.41) as compared to control rats (13.05±6.5). Conclusion: The changes observed in the liver suggest that ethephon, which is commonly used a fruit and vegetable ripener possesses a serious hepatotoxic potential. Thus a habit of thorough cleaning and washing of fruits and vegetables, before consumption, should be adopted to prevent the ingestion of this potential hepatotoxin.
