Background Estimation of body height from its segments or dismember parts has important considerations for identifications of living or dead human body or remains recovered from mass disaster or other similar conditions. Objective Stature is an important consideration in determining the identity. Our aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between foot length and body height and to derive a regression equation for stature estimation from foot length and to find out the correlation between body height and foot length. Methods The present study was conducted on 200 medical students of age group 18 to 23 years studying in MGM Medical College, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra. India. Body height and foot length were measured in centimeter. All the measurements were taken by using standard measuring devices and standard anthropometric techniques. Results Correlation coefficients between stature and foot dimensions were found to be positive and statistically highly significant. Prediction of stature was found to be most accurate by multiple regression analysis. Conclusions In population similar to our subjects, stature and gender estimation can be done by using foot measurements and it will be helpful for Anatomists, Anthropologists and forensic experts to calculate stature based on foot length.

The advantage of buccal drug delivery system over the conventional and systemic formulation majority. It helps enhance the bioavailability through bypassing the first-pass metabolism effect. The mucosal surface better absorption and prolong resident time. Bioadhesion can be defined as the phenomenon of interfacial molecular attractive force in midst of the surface of the biological substrate and the natural or synthetic polymers, which allows the polymers to adher to the biological surface for an extended period of time. Among the various transmucosal sites available, mucosa of the buccal cavity was found to be the most convenient and easily approachable site for the delivery of the therapeutic agent for both local and systemic delivery. This review also covers available marketed product as buccal drug delivery system and future aspects of buccal drug delivery system.
Ureteric duplication is the most common anomaly of urinary system. It may be complete, incomplete, unilateral or bilateral. In the present systematic review, we searched online databases according to PRISMA method for the availability of literature in the form of original research articles as well as case reports describing the duplication of ureter in the human cadaveric dissection for the duration from January 2011 to May 2020. We include 8 original research articles and 14 case reports in the present study. We thoroughly discuss all these articles on the basis of unilateral or bilateral; complete or incomplete duplication of ureter as well as other associated abnormalities of urogenital system. Data compilation of all these studies show higher incidence of left incomplete ureteric duplication as compared to right incomplete ureteric duplication. No such difference was found for the incidence of left and right complete ureteric duplication.
Medical as well as paramedical students are first exposed to the subject of Anatomy and cadaveric dissection during commencement of their studies. The cadaveric dissection is said to be an essential component to the anatomy curriculum. In recent times, with advancing technologies newer methods of learning anatomy have also been introduced. Objective: The objective of the present study was to evaluate and understand the approach, understanding and views of the first year medical students towards the cadaveric dissection as well as its impact. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on a cohort of the first year medical student, where a total of 324 students of first year MBBS were recruited and circulated a preset proforma of questions in the form of two separate questionnaires. The responses of the students were recorded and analyzed. Observations and Results: It was observed that 97% of the students considered the cadaveric dissection an integral part of the anatomy curriculum. Majority of them were of the view that newer technologies are not superior to the traditional dissection. Various symptoms were found to be less prevalent amongst the students which could be the result of prior counseling. Conclusion: Cadaveric dissection remains an inseparable part of the first year anatomy curriculum. Students are of view that it is the best method to learn anatomy. Newer methods to learn anatomy could be additional aids to facilitate the anatomy learning, but cannot replace cadaveric dissection. Practice of counseling of the students before the first exposure to cadavers eases the emotional and physical impact up to a great extent.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
