“…9 The usefulness of carpal bones in estimation of age has been demonstrated in other settings also. [10][11][12][13][14][15] Srivastav et al 6 carried out radiographic study on pediatric subjects of Rajasthan, India from birth to 12 years of age of both sexes. They observed that Pisiform was the last carpal bone to appear.…”

Background: Age estimation is based on general physical examination, radiological examination of bones and dental examination. The appearance of ossification center of pisiform bone is one of the important evidence for estimating age among young children between nine to 13 years. The objective of this study is to estimate the age of appearance of pisiform among the Nepalese children. Materials and methods: It is a cross sectional descriptive study conducted at the department of Radiology, Pokhara Academy of Health Sciences, Western Regional Hospital on the month of July 2020. The Antero posterior view of X Rays of either hand (left or right) including the carpal bones of the patients aged seven to 15 years of 183 Nepalese children archived at the department of Radiology were taken as samples. The X rays were checked for the appearance or non appearance of Pisiform and the age of appearance analysed. Results: One hundred and twenty seven (69.40%) of total 183 cases were males and 56 (30.60%) were females. The minimum age of appearance of pisiform was 9 years in females and 10 years in males. All the subjects had pisiform bone appeared at the age of 13 years and above. Conclusion: The minimum age of appearance of Pisiform in the study subjects was 9 years in females and 10 years in males. All the cases have pisiform ossified at the age of 13 years and above.

Nowadays, infertility is a prevalent problem among couples. Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) may influence the female reproductive outcomes through multiple mechanisms, being one of the important causes of infertility. These compounds may interfere with some fertility and fecundity markers, leading to increased time to pregnancy, increased risk of spontaneous abortion, shorter menstrual cycles, early age at menopause, anovulation or delayed ovulation, smaller preovulatory follicles, increased serum FSH, decreased synthesis of estradiol and progesterone, low plasma levels of anti-Mullerian hormone and decreased antral follicle count. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals may also impair in vitro fertilization outcomes, being responsible for: a lower probability of implantation, reduced fertilization rates, diminished probability of clinical pregnancy, and near term pregnancies after in vitro fertilization. Another mechanism of altering the female reproductive function is through the disorders induced by EDCs, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, uterine fibroids, and endometriosis. Those conditions may finally lead to infertility.
