“…he pharyngeal airway space is a structure which contains more than twenty muscles that are committed close to skeletal configurations and there is effect of developing craniofacial skeleton on its dimensions. 1 It consists of three portions, nasopharynx, oropharynx, and laryngopharynx. 2 It is a cylindrical structure that covers superoinferiorly from base of cranium to the inferior surface of C6 vertebrae.…”

OBJECTIVE: To determine correlation between pharyngeal airway space and sagittal skeletal malocclusions. METHODOLOGY: Data was collected using pre-treatment records including pre-treatment lateral cephalograms of 54 orthodontic patients. Patients from both gender were included. The age group of selected patients was 15-25 years, Patients belonging to Pakistani ethnicity were included to avoid selection bias. Sagittal skeletal malocclusion was measured by ANB angle to group the skeletal Class I, II and III subjects (ANB=0-4°, ANB > 4° and ANB <0 respectively). Upper pharyngeal space and Lower Pharyngeal space was measured. This cross sectional study was conducted in Orthodontic OPD at Karachi Medical and Dental College, from August 2019 to March 2020. RESULTS: The obtained data showed strong negative correlation between ANB angle and upper pharyngeal space whereas moderately negative correlation between ANB angle and lower pharyngeal space. CONCLUSION: Upper and lower pharyngeal widths were influenced by Sagittal malocclusion.

Context: Hypertension is an emerging public health problem due to its high prevalence and association with cardiovascular and overall morbidity and mortality. Police personnel constitute a special occupational group with exposure to violence and stress at work, which affects their health directly and indirectly. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted to find out the prevalence of hypertension and its relation with respect to police duty profile along with other risk factors among the police personnel of the Gwalior district stationed at various police stations. Results: In total, 402 police personnel were included in the study. Forty (14.7%) participants reported that they had h/o hypertension, while 26 (9.5%) reported that they were diagnosed as hypertensive in recent 1–2 months. As per the findings of our study, 273 (67.91%) participants come out to be hypertensive; among them, 207 (75.8%) were diagnosed in the current study. With increase in hierarchy, more police personnel suffered with hypertension. Conclusions: Long duty hours, higher rank, prolonged service duration, and inappropriate eating habits are the significant factors for the high prevalence of hypertension in police personnel.
