Abstract
INTRODUCTION Differences in pain thresholds may have implications in pain management, as they may account in part for the variability in analgesic requirements between individuals. We planned to investigate the influence of endogenous sex hormones on the analgesic modulation of tramadol in lean and high-fat diet-induced obese Wistar rats. METHODS The whole study was carried out on 48 adult Wistar rats (24 male- 12 obese & 12 lean and 24 female- 12 obese & 12 lean). Each male and female rat group was further subdivided into two groups (n=6/group) and treated with normal saline/tramadol for five days. On the fifth day, 15 minutes after tramadol/normal saline treatment, animals were tested for pain perception towards noxious stimuli. Later, endogenous 17 beta-estradiol and free testosterone levels in serum were estimated through ELISA methods. RESULTS The present study revealed that female rats experienced more pain sensitivity to noxious stimuli compared to male rats. High-fat diet-induced obese rats experienced more pain sensations to noxious stimuli than lean rats. Obese male rats were found to have significantly low free testosterone and high 17 beta-estradiol levels compared to lean male rats. An increase in serum 17 beta-estradiol level led to increased pain sensation to noxious stimuli. While an increase in free testosterone level resulted in the lowering of pain sensation to noxious stimuli. CONCLUSION The analgesic effect of tramadol was more pronounced in male rats compared to female rats. The analgesic effect of tramadol was more marked in lean rats compared to obese rats. Additional research to elucidate obesity-induced endocrine changes and the mechanisms driving sex hormones in pain perception is needed to foster future interventions to reduce disparities in pain.

Abstract
Aim and objective Initial perceptions of physicians can affect the level of comfort. Creating a strong rapport on the child's first visit helps to create a comfortable atmosphere. Child-friendly clothing of the dentists might possibly contribute to the dentist's empathy. Different attires may evoke different feelings. Hence, the purpose of the study was to assess the children's preferences for dentist's attire and its relation with anxiety. Materials and methods Eighty children aged 5-12 years were included in the study. Five photographs of dentists wearing different attires were placed in the same order for every child. The child was asked to look at the photographs and decide which dentist they would prefer to take care of them. A facial image scale was used to evaluate the child's anxiety level. The children were asked to point at which face they felt almost like at that moment. Results 42.7% of males and 38.5% of females chose child-friendly attire. The least preferred by males was a pink apron (7.5%) compared with females (28.1%). Whereas the blue apron was least preferred by females (5.1%) compared with males (20%). A Chi-square test was done to access the association between dental anxiety and the dental attire the children chose, where statistically significant (0.030) results were found. Anxious children were found to prefer child-friendly attire. Conclusion Although the view that children are fearful of the white coat was not found, the concept of child-friendly attire might be more appropriate for anxious children and enhance an easy first communication with them.

Abstract
Background To compare the effects of bimaxillary surgery ( Maxillary advancement and mandibular setback) and mandibular setback surgery (Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy) on the pharyngeal airway space (PAS) and the hyoid bone position in a skeletal class III patients.
Material and Methods Thirty four subjects (21 males, 13 females, mean age 26.5 ± 8 years) with skeletal class III pattern (ANB angle of -2° to -6°) were divided into two groups of equal sizes. Group A consisted of 17 individuals who underwent Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy (BSSO)and Group B consisted of 17 individuals who underwent bimaxillary surgery. In both the group, lateral cephalograms were taken, traced and analyzed for the specified parameters at 3 intervals, pre treatment (C1), post surgical (C2), and post orthodontic treatment (C3). Changes in PAS was evaluated at 3 levels i.e, nasopharynx (Upper PAS), oropharynx (Middle PAS) and hypopharynx (Lower PAS). Changes in hyoid bone position were evaluated in anteroposterior and vertical direction at all the 3 intervals.
Results There was a significant constriction of airway at oropharyngeal and hypo-pharyngeal level at C2 and C3 in both the groups. However, the reduction at the oropharyngeal airway was greater in group A. In group B, there was significant increase in the airway at the level of nasopharynx, Hyoid bone was positioned more posteriorly post-surgery in group A which did not return to its original position post treatment. In group B hyoid bone was positioned postero-inferiorly post surgically which came back to its original position by the end of orthodontic treatment.
Conclusions Patients undergoing bimaxillary surgery showed a significant increase in the airway at the level of nasopharynx. Hyoid bone returned to its original position by the end of orthodontic treatment in the bimaxillary surgery group. This study suggested that while treating a skeletal class III malocclusion it is advised to perform maxillary advancements along with mandibular setback surgery. Key words:Bimaxillary surgery, Hyoid bone, Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy, Pharyngeal airway space.

Abstract
Introduction Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) is a rare fibro-inflammatory condition which is characterized by development of extensive fibrosis throughout the retroperitoneum. It is classically centred over the anterior surface of the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae. It results in entrapment and extrinsic compression of retroperitoneal structures. Presentation of the case We present the case of a 69 years old man who was reported to have right pelvi - ureteric junction obstruction on computed tomography, but turned out to have RPF. Discussion Retroperitoneal fibrosis commonly causes obstructive uropathy (either unilateral, bilateral or progressing from unilateral to bilateral) and if untreated, renal failure. It has high response/remission rates to glucocorticoid therapy. However, relapse rates are also high. Hence, close surveillance with serial laboratory and imaging investigations, after achieving remission, is key to long term disease control. Conclusion Although classical imaging findings, supportive laboratory markers and suggestive/diagnostic histopathology appearances for RPF are well documented, its accurate preoperative diagnosis is not always an assured certainty. This case is unique in that the original plan to perform a laparoscopic pyeloplasty, purportedly for right pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction; was aborted ‘on table’ and a laparoscopic ureterolysis performed, instead. Though ureteral involvement is bilateral in most cases of retroperitoneal fibrosis, this case is rare and unique in that the patient had unilateral involvement of his ureter (right sided). Periaortic fibro-inflammatory mass at the level of the lumbar vertebrae is the hallmark of primary / idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis. However in this case, no such imaging finding was noted. Instead, the patient had just obvious unilateral (ride sided) disease on pre-operative imaging.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a potent anti-cancer antibiotic that was widely used for treatment of various cancers. It produces free radicals which result in extreme dose-limiting cardiotoxicity. This study investigated the cardioprotective potential of chia seed oil, an active polyphenolic nutraceutical against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in Wistar rats. Twenty-four female Wistar rats were divided into four groups (n = 6) which consist of normal control, DOX control, test-A and test-B group. Animals were prophylactically treated with two different doses of test drug, i.e. chia seed oil 2.5 ml/kg/day and 5 ml/kg/day in test-A and test-B groups orally for 7 days. Doxorubicin (25 mg/kg; single dose) was administered intraperitoneally to DOX control, Test-A and Test-B animals on the seventh day to induce cardiotoxicity. ECG analysis was done before and after treatment. Besides ECG, CK, CK-MB, LDH, AST, MDA and GSH were analyzed. DOX had significantly altered ECG, CK, CK-MB, LDH, AST, MDA and GSH. Pre-treatment with chia seed oil significantly alleviated DOX-induced ECG changes and also guarded against DOX-induced rise of serum CK, CK-MB and AST levels. Chia seed oil alleviated histopathological alteration in DOX-treated rats. It also significantly inhibited DOX-induced GSH depletion and elevation of MDA. The present study revealed that chia seed oil exerts cardioprotection against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in female Wistar rats. Our study opens the perspective to clinical studies to precisely consider chia seed oil as a potential chemoprotectant nutraceutical in the combination chemotherapy with doxorubicin to limit its cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Pediatric epilepsy comprises chronic neurological disorders characterized by recurrent seizures. Sodium valproate is one of the common antiseizure medications used for treatment. Glucuronide conjugation is the major metabolic pathway of sodium valproate, carried out by the enzyme uridine 5'-diphosphate (UDP) glucuronosyl transferase (UGT) whose gene polymorphisms may alter the clinical outcome. The objective of this study was to assess the association between UGT1A6 genetic polymorphism and clinical outcome in terms of efficacy and tolerability in pediatric epileptic patients on sodium valproate monotherapy. Pediatric epileptic patients (n=65) aged 2-18 years receiving sodium valproate monotherapy for the past one month were included. Genetic polymorphism patterns of UGT1A6 (T19G, A541G, A552C) were evaluated by PCR-RFLP. Clinical outcome was seizure control during the 6 months observation period. Tolerability was measured by estimating the hepatic, renal, and other lab parameters. Out of 65 patients, TT (40%), TG (57%), and GG (3%) patterns were observed in UGT1A6 (T19G) gene, AA (51%), AG (40%), and GG (9%) in (A541G) gene, and AA (43%), AC (43%), and CC (14%) in (A552C) gene. No statistical difference in clinical outcome was found for different UGT1A6 genetic polymorphism patterns. We concluded that different patterns of UGT1A6 genetic polymorphism were not associated with the clinical outcome of sodium valproate in terms of efficacy and tolerability. Sodium valproate was well-tolerated among pediatric patients with epilepsy and can be used as an effective antiseizure medication.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Globally 6% of the population suffers from disabling hearing loss and the majority resides in low- and middle-income countries, but diagnosis and treatment are hampered by poor availability of expert diagnosis. We compared the utility of tele-diagnosis, non-expert diagnosis, and prediction model diagnosis as a screening tool for common external and middle ear disorders.
Method
We recruited consecutive adult and paediatric patients presenting with ear or hearing symptoms to ENT outpatients at Children’s Surgical Centre, Cambodia. Each participant underwent sequential symptomatic and otoscopic assessment by a non-specialist and an ENT specialist. The non-specialist captured data using a novel automated symptom questionnaire loaded onto a smartphone otoscope. An ENT specialist in the UK subsequently reviewed these data.
Results
138 ears were recruited. The prediction model performed poorly, but absence of otorrhoea was found to reliably exclude a diagnosis of chronic suppurative otitis media (negative predictive value=0.99). Both on-site non-expert and expert tele-diagnosis had high diagnostic specificity (90-99% and 86-99%), but low sensitivity (<43% and 32-100%).
Conclusions
We report the first study to directly compare approaches for non-specialist diagnosis of disorders of the middle/external ear, which shows suboptimal but comparable performance using an automated questionnaire, on site non-expert diagnosis, or remote expert diagnosis

Abstract
On-site wastewater treatment systems are gaining popularity in areas where centralized wastewater treatment is not available. In the current case study a domestic activated sludge system was investigated, where treated effluent was stored in a short-term (1 week turn-over time) and a long-term (over 2-3 months) storage tank and was then used for irrigation. This design provided a unique opportunity to assess the chemical and microbial changes of the effluent upon storage. Long-term storage greatly improved both the chemical quality and the degradation efficiency of most organic micropollutants examined, including petroleum hydrocarbons and the pesticide diethyltoluamide. Taxonomic profile of the core microbiome of the effluent was also influenced upon storage. Relative abundance values of the members of Azoarcus and Thauera genera, which are important in degrading polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons compounds, clearly indicated the biodegrading activity of these microbes across samples. The abundance of xenobiotics degradation functions correlated with the observed organic micropollutant degradation values indicating efficient microbial decomposition of these contaminants. Functions related to infectious diseases also had the highest abundance in the short-term storage tank corresponding well with the relative abundance of indicator organisms and implying to the significance of storage time in the elimination of pathogens. Based on these results, small, on-site wastewater treatment systems could benefit from long-term storage of wastewater effluent.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report survival outcomes and identify prognostic factors of salvage re-irradiation (re-RT) in recurrent/progressive glioma. METHODS Medical records of patients treated with high-dose re-RT as part of multi-modality salvage therapy for recurrence/progression of adult diffuse glioma from 2010 to 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS A total of 111 patients developing recurrent/progressive high-grade glioma after adequate upfront treatment at initial diagnosis were included. The first course of radiotherapy (RT) had been delivered to a median dose of 59.4 Gy with an inter-quartile range (IQR) of 54-60 Gy. Median time to recurrence/progression was 4.3 years (IQR = 2.3-7.4 years) while the median time to re-RT was 4.8 years (IQR = 3.6-7.9 years). Re-RT was delivered with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) using 1.8 Gy/fraction to a median dose of 54 Gy (IQR = 50.4-55.8 Gy) for a cumulative median equivalent dose in 2-Gy fractions (EQD2) of 104.3 Gy (IQR = 102.6-109.4 Gy). At a median follow-up of 14 months after re-RT, the 1-year Kaplan-Meier estimates of post-re-RT progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 42.8 and 61.8%, respectively. Univariate analysis identified histological grade at recurrence/progression; histological subtype; disease-free interval (DFI) and time interval between both courses of RT; performance status at re-RT; dose at re-RT and cumulative EQD2; isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation; and O6-methyl-guanine DNA methyl transferase (MGMT) gene promoter methylation as significant prognostic factors. Preserved performance status, longer DFI, prolonged time interval between both courses of RT, and presence of IDH mutation were associated with significantly improved PFS on multi-variate analysis. However, only performance status retained independent prognostic significance for OS on multi-variate analysis. Post-treatment changes were seen in 33 (30%) patients on follow-up imaging, with higher cumulative dose (EQD2 ≥ 104.3 Gy) being associated with increased risk of post-re-RT pseudo-progression. CONCLUSION This clinical audit reports encouraging survival outcomes and identifies key prognostic factors associated with high-dose salvage re-RT in recurrent/progressive glioma.

Abstract
Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among cancer survivors. The present study was aimed to investigate the cardioprotective potential of methyl gallate; an active polyphenolic nutraceutical, against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in Wistar rats. Twenty-four female Wistar rats (150-200 g) were divided into four groups (n = 6) which consist of normal control (group I), doxorubicin control (group II), test-A (group III), and test-B (group IV). Group III and group IV animals were prophylactically treated with methyl gallate 150 mg/kg/day and 300 mg/kg/day orally, respectively, for seven days. Doxorubicin (25 mg/kg; single dose) was administered through an intraperitoneal route to group II, III, and IV animals on the seventh day to induce acute cardiotoxicity. On the 8th day, besides ECG analysis, serum CK, CK-MB, LDH, AST, MDA, and GSH were assayed. Following gross examination of isolated hearts, histopathological evaluation was performed by light microscopy. A significant (p < 0.05) cardiac injury, as well as oxidative stress, was observed in doxorubicin control rats in comparison to normal control rats. Methyl gallate at both the doses significantly (p < 0.05) reduced doxorubicin-induced ECG changes, dyslipidaemia, and elevation of CK, CK-MB, LDH, AST, MDA and increased GSH level. Methyl gallate reversed the doxorubicin-induced histopathological changes in the heart. The present study revealed that methyl gallate exerts cardioprotection against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in female Wistar rats by suppressing oxidative stress. Our study opens the perspective to clinical studies for consideration of methyl gallate as a potential chemoprotectant nutraceutical in the combination chemotherapy with doxorubicin to limit its cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND
Incidence of intracranial germ cell tumors (ICGCT) in Western literature is low (0.3–0.6 %) as compared to East Asia (3–4 %), & their clinicopathological features are well documented. However, there are scant studies on ICGCT from India.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Retrospective observational study of all ICGCT histologically diagnosed in our hospital from 2007–2018. Metastasis were excluded. Clinicopathological features were retrieved from hospital’s electronic medical records.
RESULTS
We diagnosed 82 primary ICGCT, forming approx. 0.54 % of all primary brain tumors, & 3.5% of pediatric brain tumors. Age range: 2 months-32 yrs (Median age 14 yrs). M:F ratio: 1.82:1 (53M,29F). Nearly 80% patients were pediatric (<18 yrs), & 8 very young (<3 yrs, 7M1F). Majority were suprasellar & pineal (31/82, 37% each), with one bifocal presentation. Other rarer sites: posterior fossa (4), midbrain (1), corpus callosum (1) & 11 non midline (4 thalamic, 4 frontal, 2 cerebellar, 1 CP angle). Predominant histology was germinoma (G) (51/82, 62%), while non germinomatous (NGGCT) were 31/82 (38%), of which 9 were mixed. Pure teratoma were 11 (9 immature (IT), 2 mature), & 5 pure yolk sac tumor (YST). Interestingly, all very young age group patients (<3 yrs), showed only NGGCT histology (5/8 IT, 3/8 pure YST). In contrast, G histology formed nearly 70% of all patients >3 yrs. Females were associated mainly with G (21/29, 72%). NGGCT were predominantly seen in males (M:F=2.9:1). Also, pure IT (9) were seen only in males. Posterior fossa tumors were all IT (4/4). Spinal tumors were NGGCT (1 mature teratoma, 1 YST). Majority of suprasellar tumors (25/31, 80.6%), other midline locations like corpus callosal, midbrain, & all thalamic tumors were G. However, pineal tumors showed equal distribution of G (15/31) & NGGCT (16/31). Spine screening was positive in 8 patients (6 G, 2 IT)- 7 on MRI and 1 only on CSF cytology. Serum tumor markers were raised in 13/54 cases- 6/34G(17.6%), vs 7/20 NGGCT (35%). CSF tumor markers were raised in 14/34-10/23 G (43.4%), vs 4/11 NGGCT (36.3%). Follow up was available for 37 patients (Duration 3 months-10 yrs, median 2 yrs). On f/u 6/15 (40%) NGGCT showed progression/death, while only 2/32 G relapsed (6.5%). Four deaths in G group were not directly attributable to the tumor.
CONCLUSION
Frequency of ICGCT in our hospital similar to western data rather than Asian, albeit with less striking male preponderance. ICGCT were tumors of 2nd decade & majority occurred in pineal/suprasellar areas. About 2/3rd were pure G on histology, and showed good prognosis. NGGCT were common in infants, males and in posterior fossa. IT were seen exclusively in males and pure YST mainly in males. Although majority of ICGCT are in midline, rarely non midline involvement also occurs, and it’s essential to exclude metastasis before considering primary ICGCT. Expectedly, NGGCT showed poorer prognosis, compared to pure germinomas.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES A severe and potentially lethal complication in pelvic injuries is arterial bleeding commonly involving the iliac arteries. Hence, the objective of our study was to systematically document the morphology and variations of the external iliac artery in human cadaveric pelvises. MATERIALS AND METHODS Study was conducted on 48 pelvic halves which were obtained by making mid-line saw cuts through formalin embalmed adult human male cadaveric pelvises. The external iliac artery was cleaned, its length and diameter were measured using a scale. Following parameters were noted: variations of the external iliac artery in terms of its location, course, termination, relations with other vessels and variations in its branching pattern. RESULTS Variations related to the morphology and branching pattern of the external iliac artery was observed in 20 hemipelvises (42%). Nine (19%) hemipelvises showed morphological variations of the artery (looped, tortuous, curved, twisted or 'S' shaped). Variations in the branching pattern of the artery were seen in 6 (13%) hemipelvises and the artery was superficial or medial to the external iliac vein in 5 (10%) hemipelvises. Mean length of the artery was 10cm on the right and 9.9cm on the left side of the pelvis. Its mean diameter was 0.94mm on the right and 0.99mm on left side. CONCLUSION Diagnostic and interventional radiologic procedures on the pelvic arteries are becoming more frequent, and hence in here, we have performed the morphological study of the external iliac artery is necessary to guide interventional procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Microphthalmia and anophthalmia are rare congenital fetal abnormalities. The combined incidence is estimated at 1 in 10,000 births. These two conditions arise from complex and incompletely understood genetic and/or environmental causes. Prenatal diagnosis is neither frequent nor easy and relies on precise, high-quality ultrasonography. Current antenatal ultrasound protocols for imaging of the fetal eye are inconsistent and inadequate to screen for the spectrum of ocular malformations, and there are no clear guidelines on detection of these rare abnormalities. Our study of two cases highlights the importance of early detection, and we review current practice and suggest a definitive fetal imaging protocol. CASE PRESENTATION We present two antenatal cases, one each of microphthalmia and anophthalmia, both diagnosed at the morphology scan at our tertiary fetal medicine unit. In both cases, the parents (a 36-year-old woman of Mauritanian ethnicity and a non-consanguineous partner of Nepalese descent, and a 31-year-old Caucasian woman and non-consanguineous Caucasian partner) elected to terminate their pregnancies and made unremarkable recoveries. Subsequent fetal autopsy confirmed the ultrasound scan findings. CONCLUSIONS We recommend that antenatal ultrasound guidelines are updated to specify use of a curvilinear transducer (2-9 MHz) to image both orbits in the axial and coronal planes, aided by use of a transvaginal probe when the transabdominal approach is inadequate to generate these images. When applicable, three-dimensional reverse-face imaging should be obtained to aid the diagnosis. The presence, absence, or non-visualization of lenses and hyaloid arteries should be documented in reports and these cases referred for a tertiary-level ultrasound scan and fetal medicine review. Imaging of the orbits should occur from 12 weeks' gestation. Magnetic resonance imaging and amniocentesis with chromosome microarray testing may provide additional genetic and structural information that may affect the overall morbidity associated with a diagnosis of microphthalmia or anophthalmia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The study was an attempt to evaluate the relationship between oral health status and the level of glycemic control in type 1 diabetes patients. METHODS The study was carried out in 87 children with type 1 diabetes, aged 8-16 years, attending a diabetes specialty hospital. The oral health of these patients was measured using the WHO 1997 Oral Health Survey criteria for diagnosis of dental caries, gingival index, and plaque index. Samples were then divided into two groups as controlled (≤6.99% glycosylated hemoglobin [HbA1c]) and uncontrolled (≥7% HbA1c) diabetes as per the guidelines for glycemic control in diabetics given by the American Diabetes Association. The oral health between the groups was compared. RESULTS Data were statistically analyzed using student t-test. Results showed a significant difference in decayed, missing, and filled surface component (P = 0.043) and gingival index scores (P< 0.001) in the permanent dentition between controlled and uncontrolled groups but not in case of the primary dentition. CONCLUSIONS The data findings suggest that metabolic control had an impact on caries prevalence and gingival health of these patients, in case of permanent dentition. As the glycemic control became poorer, the caries prevalence and gingival inflammation increased. When primary dentition was taken into consideration, the correlation was not significant.

Abstract
Introduction Mesial drifting of molar teeth in maxillary arch is corrected by movement of the molars distally. In addition to traditional distal movement techniques, such as extraoral force application and removable appliances, various intra-arch devices have been introduced since 1980s. These intra-arch appliances have nearly eliminated the need for patient cooperation. Case report The purpose of this paper is to report a case of 10-year-old male patient with loss of space in maxillary molar teeth treated by intra-arch appliance-pendulum appliance by distalization of maxillary first permanent molar teeth. Distaliza-tion of the permanent molar teeth helped in proper eruption of second premolar teeth without any extensive treatment procedures. Conclusion In the present case report, the treatment of developing malocclusion was corrected by utilizing the concept of interceptive orthodontics. Hence, correction of space loss in mixed dentition period using pendulum appliance can eliminate the fixed orthodontic therapy. How to cite this article Paranna S, Shetty P, Anandakrishna L, Rawat A.

Abstract
Knowledge of variants in the formation and position of the ansa cervicalis is important in head and neck surgery, specifically in reconstructions of the tongue that use the infrahyoid muscles, and in the anastomosis of the ansa cervicalis to the recurrent laryngeal nerve when the laryngeal muscles have been paralysed. We describe a rare variant of the superior root of the ansa cervicalis, which had a contribution from the vagus and hypoglossal nerves. The inferior root was formed by the C2 and C3 ventral rami, but it passed medial to the internal jugular vein before it joined the superior root to form the loop.

Abstract
CONTEXT Early detection of oral premalignancy and malignancy using simple screening aids play a promising role in curbing the disease. AIM The primary aim of this study is to evaluate and the secondary aim of this study is to compare the cytomorphometry and cellular atypia in keratinocytes obtained from oral rinse and conventional exfoliative cytology in normal oral mucosa and clinically diagnosed oral leukoplakia. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study comprised of 55 clinically diagnosed cases of leukoplakia and 55 age and sex matched normal controls. Smears were prepared using oral rinse technique followed by the conventional exfoliative cytology. Papanicoloau stained smears were evaluated for atypia and subjected to image analysis. Based on the presence of atypia they were further divided into three groups (Group 1-cases with atypia, Group 2-without atypia and Group 3-normal controls) and analyzed. Statistical analysis used one-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey Honestly Significant Difference test for intergroup analysis and unpaired students t-test to compare the two methods. RESULTS Smears prepared with both methods demonstrated atypia in 18 cases. The cellular diameter and cellular area (CA) were progressively increased from Group 1 through Groups 2 and 3 in both the smears. Nuclear diameter and nuclear area and nuclear cytoplasmic ratio progressively decreased from Group 1 through Groups 2 and 3. Both the methods showed no significant differences among the cellular parameters except in normal controls. CONCLUSION Cytomorphometric analysis of keratinocytes obtained with oral rinse method and wooden spatula can serve as a useful screening aid to detect oral leukoplakia. Oral rinse method being more convenient results in smears of better quality.

Abstract
Aims The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of a new-generation electronic apex locator (iPex) to determine working length in primary teeth with or without root resorption as compared with the conventional radiographic method. Materials and methods A sample of 30 primary posterior teeth which are indicated for pulpectomy were selected for the study. After obtaining the informed consent from the parents, local anesthesia was administered. Access cavity was prepared with no.10 round bur. Initial exploration of the canals was done with no.10 K-file. Pulp was extirpated with a barbed broach followed by thorough irrigation of the canals with 0.9% saline. Initially, working length was obtained with iPex (new-generation by Nakanishi International) apex locator using no.10 K-file, which was then compared with conventional radiographic method (Ingle’s method). Results A total of 65 canals were available for the measurement. The data were analyzed using Statistical Analysis system and t-tests were carried out. There was no statistically significant difference found when using iPex apex locator for working length determination as compared with that of conventional radiographic method (p = 0.511). Conclusion Working length determined by iPex apex locator is comparable with that of conventional radiographic method, hence, can be used as an alternative in determining the working length of primary teeth.

Abstract
IntroductionPharmacogenetic studies in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) primarily focussing on serotonergic and dopaminergic polymorphisms, provided inconsistent findings. There is recent evidence for glutamatergic abnormalities in OCD.AimsExamine the association glutamatergic genes with serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SRI) response in OCD.ObjectivesTo study pharmacogenetic association between SLC1A1 and GRIN2B polymorphisms with SRI response in OCD.MethodsDSM-IV OCD patients were recruited from a specialty OCD clinic and evaluated using the Yale-Brown obsessive compulsive scale (YBOCS), Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) plus, Clinical Global Impression scale (CGI). They were subsequently reassessed with YBOCS and CGI. To study extreme phenotypes, we included only full responders (> 35% YBOCS improvement and CGI-I score of 1 or 2) to any SRI (n = 191) and non-responders (< 25% YBOCS improvement and CGI-I score ≥ 4) to adequate trial of at least two SRIs (n = 84). Partial responders were excluded. Genotyping was performed using an ABI9700 PCR machine.ResultsGenotype frequencies did not deviate significantly from the values predicted by the Hardy-Weinberg equation. Case-control association analyses revealed no significant association between genotype/allele frequencies with SRI response.ConclusionOur data does not show any association between polymorphisms in glutamatergic genes and SRI response in OCD though such associations have been found in other studies. More SNP's in the same gene could be responsible for the pharmacogenetic associations. More homogenous sample considering symptom dimensions and other phenotypic variables may be needed. It may be critical to go beyond “usual suspect” candidate gene research. In this regard, a novel approach to identify SRI response biomarkers is the use of cellular models.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract
Introduction: Knowledge of vascular variations near the kidney is of importance to many clinical disciplines such as nephrologists, radiologists, gastroenterologists, and general surgeons. Variant branches of the abdominal aorta and renal arteries are the victims of iatrogenic bleeding during surgery. We found multiple vascular variations in the upper part of the abdomen during our dissection classes. Methods: During the dissection classes of the abdomen for undergraduate medical students, we observed multiple vascular variations in the abdomen of an adult male cadaver. The vessels and surrounding viscera were cleaned using dissection instruments. Variations observed were photographed. Results: The right kidney had its hilum directed posteriorly. There were two right renal veins and a partially doubled left renal vein (LRV). The left suprarenal and gonadal veins drained into the upper LRV. There were two right renal arteries. Upper right renal artery gave origin to the right inferior phrenic and middle suprarenal arteries. There were two renal arteries on the left side also. The left upper renal artery gave a polar branch to the left kidney and divided into two branches before entering the kidney. The left inferior phrenic artery (IPA) gave two gastric branches to the fundus of the stomach. Conclusions: The variations noted by us are of tremendous surgical application. The variant vessels might get damaged during surgical procedures if the surgeons are not aware of these variations. The most important among the variations reported here is the gastric branch of the IPA, which has not been reported yet.

Abstract
Persistence of jugulocephalic vein is one of the extremely rare variations of the cephalic vein. Knowledge of such a variation is of utmost importance to orthopedic surgeons while treating the fractures of the clavicle, head and neck surgeons, during surgery of the lower part of neck, for cardiothoracic surgeons and radiologists during catheterization and cardiac device placement. We report the persistent jugulocephalic vein in an adult male cadaver, observed during the routine dissection classes. The right cephalic vein ascended upwards, superficial to the lateral part of the clavicle and terminated into the external jugular vein. It also gave a communicating branch to the axillary vein below the clavicle. We discuss the embryological and clinical importance of this rare variation.
