Abstract

Introduction: The menisci are made up of fibrocartilage. The menisci are prone for injuries and treated by meniscal repair, meniscectomy and the meniscal allograft transplantation. The knowledge about the morphometry is necessary for orthopaedician, embryologist and morphologist. Aim: To analyse the morphometric parameters of medial and lateral menisci in the knee joint of foetuses. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy, PSG Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India, during the year May 2015 to May 2017 in seven males and eight female foetuses with gestational age ranging from 20-37 weeks. After dissection, the morphometric parameters like peripheral and inner length, width and thickness of anterior 1/3rd, middle 1/3rd and posterior 1/3rd of the menisci was measured using digital vernier callipers. ANOVA and paired t-test was used to compare the parameters between gender and sides. Results: The morphometry was studied in 14 male and 16 female knee joints (30 medial and 30 lateral menisci). In the medial menisci width of anterior 1/3rd was significantly narrower than the middle and posterior 1/3rd. In lateral menisci, width of middle 1/3rd was greater than anterior and posterior 1/3rd which was statistically insignificant. There were no statistically significant morphometric differences between gender and sides. Conclusion: The part of the menisci which were narrower was less prone for injuries. The knowledge of the morphometric parameters in particular the width and thickness of the menisci determines the commonest area of injury. This study provides morphometric data of menisci in foetuses as it is scarce.

Abstract

Background: Bicaudate index, Bicaudate - temporal index and Huckman number were commonly used radiological indices to accurately evaluate intracranial ventricular volume. Established normal values for these indices were based on study done among western population. Reference values were not established for these indices in Indian population. Hence this study is undertaken to establish the new reference values for Bicaudate index, Bicaudate - temporal index and Huckman number, based on age and sex in Indian population. Methods: The retrospective study was done in Department of Radiology, Karpagam Faculty of Medical Sciences and Research, Coimbatore during the period between 1st June 2016 to 31st July 2016. One hundred subjects, aged between 5 to 90 years, with normal CT brain performed in Siemens SomatomScope multislice CT scanner were analyzed for this study and Bicaudate index, Bicaudate - temporal index, Huckman number were calculated. Results: Mean Bicaudate Index was 0.14 +/- 0.03. The mean Bicaudate - Temporal Index was 0.13 +/- 0.03. The mean Huckman number in male was 5.09 +/- 0.76 and in female was 4.70 +/- 0.57. Conclusion: The new reference values for Bicaudate index, Bicaudate - temporal index and Huckman number in Indian population based on age and gender was established in our study. KEY WORDS: Bicaudate index, Bicaudate - temporal index, Huckman number, Computed Tomography, Brain.

Abstract

Background: The new competency based medical curriculum was introduced in India from 2019. The curriculum implementation support program (CISP) developed by medical council of India, provides the much-needed intellectual support to colleges for smooth transition from existing to the new curriculum. This study was done to assess the effectiveness of CISP program by comparing the pretest and posttest questionnaire.Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted among 30 medical teachers in a medical college after getting Institutional Ethical committee clearance. During the CISP training program, a structured and validated questionnaire were administered, and it was evaluated and compared before and after the workshop.Results: There was a significant improvement in the knowledge of electives, meaning of curriculum, knowledge on curriculum delivery process, knowledge concepts of Miller’s pyramid, hardens integration ladder, GMER and the concepts of SLO. Though there is a significant improvement, the knowledge gained on foundation course, Miller’s pyramid and GMER are still poor (mean score
