Variations in sellar region like the interclinoid bar (the ossification between the anterior and posterior clinoid processes); and the carotico clinoid foramen (the ossification between the anterior and middle clinoid processes) may cause difficulty for clinoidectomy procedures. Therefore, to obtain a satisfactory result from these surgeries, detailed anatomical knowledge of the region and the type of ossification between the clinoid processes is necessary. The present study is an effort to know more about carotico clinoid foramen in skulls of North Interior Karnataka region. Methods: For the present study, dry unknown human skull were obtained from north interior Karnataka region collected in the department of Anatomy of BLDEU’s Shri B.M.Patil Medical College Hospital and Research centre Bijapur. The carotico clinoid foramen were studied in the dry human skull and were observed for various parameters like complete or incomplete, unilateral and bilateral and type of sellar bridges. Results and interpretations: The data was analyzed statistically with chi square test. Carotico clinoid foramen was observed in 223 skulls and was found in 83(37.19%) skull bones. Amongst 223 skull bones, in 39 (17.47%) skulls the carotico clinoid foramen was forming a complete foramen; and in 44 (19.71%) skulls the carotico clinoid foramen was forming incomplete foramen. X Complete bilateral carotico clinoid foramen was found in 23 skulls (10.31%) and complete unilateral was found in 16 skulls (7.16%). Incomplete bilateral carotico clinoid foramen was found in 7 skulls (3.13%). Incomplete unilateral carotico clinoid foramen was found in 37 skulls (16.58%) on right side -20 skulls (8.96%) and left side-17 skulls (7.62%) . The sellar bridging between anterior, middle and posterior clinoid processes was also studied. Conclusion: Detailed knowledge of carotico clinoid foramen will increase the success of the regional surgery Sat, 01 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT https://digitallibrary.bldedu.ac.in/xmlui/handle/123456789/2434 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z https://digitallibrary.bldedu.ac.in/xmlui/handle/123456789/2421 Title: Anatomical Variations Of Brachial Plexus In The Arm Authors: Raveendra Patil, G.T. Abstract: Background and Objectives : Brachial plexus is responsible for cutaneous and muscular innervation of most of the upper limb. Gross anatomical knowledge of the nerves like origin, course branches and distribution are of vital importance. Most brachial plexus injuries result in severe dysfunction of arm and hand. The anatomical variations of the brachial plexus constitute a potentially important clinical and surgical issue. Even though many studies have taken place involving major nerves of brachial plexus, they are still far from complete. The present study was done with the aim to study the formation of brachial plexus and find out various anomalies in the arm. Methods : The study was carried out on 60 upper limb specimens (30right, 30 left) obtained during the course of dissection from undergraduate students in the department of Anatomy at BLDEA’s Shri B.M. Patil Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre, Bijapur. The five major nerves were selected from the cords of brachial plexus and there origin, course and distribution with respect to each nerve was studied in the arm. The nerves include – musculocutaneous nerve, median nerve, ulnar nerve, radial nerve and axillary nerve. Results : After detail study of the above nerves following results were obtained. 1. Communication between musculocutaneous and median nerves in eleven limbs. x 2. Musculocutaneous nerve was absent in one limb. 3. Median nerve supplied muscles of front of arm in one limb. 4. Musculocutaneous nerve did not pierce coracobrachialis muscle in seven limbs. 5. Communication between radial and ulnar nerve in one limb. Conclusion : The anatomical knowledge of the nerves is essential for assessing the functional loss and planned reconstructive surgeries. Knowledge of the variation that are observed in our study are important to neurologists, orthopaedicians and traumatologists as these may give rise to variable clinical picture Fri, 01 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT https://digitallibrary.bldedu.ac.in/xmlui/handle/123456789/2421 2010-01-01T00:00:00Z https://digitallibrary.bldedu.ac.in/xmlui/handle/123456789/2420 Title: Palmar Dermatoglyphics In Patients With Sputum Positive Tuberculosis In The Age Group Between 20-60 Years Authors: Gayatri Abstract: Background Dermatoglyphics is a branch of science which deals with the study of ridge patterns on finger tips, palms, soles and toes. Dermatoglyphic traits are formed under genetic control early in the development, but may be affected by environmental factors during 1st trimester of pregnancy. They however do not change thereafter. Thus maintaining stability and personal identification. Thus represent the genetic makeup of an individual and therefore predisposition to certain diseases. Tuberculosis is a major public health problem. Genetic factors play a role in the susceptibility of an individual for tuberculosis. By analyzing various parameters of dermatoglyphics in the palms and fingers, it is possible to certain extent to predict individual’s chance of acquiring pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods and Results The finger and palm prints of hundred diagnosed patients of sputum positive pulmonary tuberculosis in the age group between 20 to 60 years were compared with hundred controls, of the same age group, among which 50 were males & 50 were females. Screening questions were asked to exclude other genetic disorders. The quantitative study includes total finger ridge count (TFRC), absolute finger ridge count (AFRC), mean ‘atd’ angle. The quantitative study includes finger print patterns (whorls, radial loops, ulnar loops and arches) and palmar pattern (simian line and Sydney line).Statistical analysis for quantitative analysis, the arithmetic mean and standard deviation will be calculated, ‘Z’ test will applied. For qualitative analysis, the ‘Chi’ square test will applied whenever necessary. X The following significant parameters have been found in the present study of palmar dermatoglyphics in patients with sputum positive tuberculosis in the age group between 20-60 years: In both males and females: 1. Lower mean ‘atd’ angle in study group. 2. Higher Mean Absolute Finger Ridge Count (AFRC). 3. Higher Mean Total Finger Ridge Count (TFRC) Conclusion The significant dermatoglyphic parameters found in the study may be used to predict individual’s chance of acquiring pulmonary tuberculosis.
