CONTEXT: With ever increasing incidence of coronary heart disease, a thorough study of the coronary arteries is the need of time. AIM: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the coronary dominance pattern which will help the cardiac physicians and surgeons for better diagnosis and management of coronary artery disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study undertaken in the Department of Anatomy, Assam Medical College included 75 perinatal and 15 adult cadaveric human hearts which were preserved in 10% formaldehyde solution after simple dissecting procedure and the dominance was noted. RESULTS: In the present study, out of total of 90 cases the right coronary dominance was found to be present in 58 cases (64.44%).This included 34(60.71%) males and 24(70.59%) females. Total cases of left coronary dominance were found to be 22(24.45%). Among these, 15(26.79%) were males and 7(20.59%) were females. Finally 10(11.11%) co-dominant cases were found, of which 7 cases (12.50%) were males and 3 cases (8.82%) were females. CONCLUSION: Thus the study revealed that most of the cases were having right coronary predominance.
The occipital bone forms the region of the back of the head. It consists of three parts-the squamous part, the basilar part and the two condylar parts on either side of the foramen magnum. The squamous part of the occipital bone consists of two parts-the upper interparietal and the lower supraoccipital part. Usually the interparietal part fuses with the supraoccipital part but sometimes it may remain separated by a suture. Then it is called interparietal bone or Inca bone. AIM & OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study is to find out the incidence of interparietal or Inca bones in this part of north east India as data regarding its incidence rate and number of fragments of Inca bones from Assam is still underreported. MATERIALS & METHOD: In the present study, a total of 126 dry adult skulls were examined to know the incidence of Inca bones. All the specimens were procured from various departments in Assam Medical College, Dibrugarh, Assam. They were first examined for presence or absence of Inca bones and then for number of fragments. RESULTS & OBSERVATIONS: The incidence of Inca bone was found to be 1.58%. One skull presented with a single triangular Inca bone while another skull presented with two fragments of Inca bones. CONCLUSIONS: The knowledge regarding interparietal bones and that it may present with many fragments is certainly very useful for neurosurgeons, radiologists and anthropologists.
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.
