PurposeTo determine the prevalence of congenitally abnormal disc (all anomalies) in an adult population in southern India.MethodsSubjects aged ≥40 years (n=6013) underwent a complete ophthalmic examination. Optic disc anomalies were diagnosed according to the definitions given in the article.ResultsOptic disc anomalies were found in 81 eyes of 66 (1.1%, 95% CIs 0.00834 to 0.01361) patients. The prevalence of each anomaly in the descending order was peripapillary myelinated nerve fibre (0.28%), epipapillary glial tissue on the optic disc (0.28%), peripapillary vascular loops (0.16%), tilted disc (0.09%), optic disc coloboma (0.08%), optic nerve hypoplasia (0.04%), optic disc pit (0.04%), optic disc pigmentation (0.03%), optic nerve head drusen (0.03%), Bergmeister’s papilla (0.03%), optic disc pit and coloboma (0.01%).ConclusionsThe prevalence of optic disc anomalies is 1.1% in the adult South Indian population.

AbstractObjectiveFew dietary surveys have been done with reference to chronic diseases, such as diabetes, in India, which is considered to be the diabetes capital of the world. We report on the dietary intake of urban adults living in Chennai, South India.DesignA population-based cross-sectional study.SettingA representative population of urban Chennai in southern India.SubjectsThe study population comprised 2042 individuals aged ≥20 years selected from the Chennai Urban Rural Epidemiological Study (CURES). Dietary intake was measured using a validated and previously published interviewer-administered semi-quantitative meal-based FFQ.ResultsThe mean daily energy intake was 10 393 (sd 2347) kJ (male: 10953 (sd 2364) kJ v. female: 9832 (sd 233) kJ). Carbohydrates were the major source of energy (64 %), followed by fat (24 %) and protein (12 %). Refined cereals contributed to the bulk of the energy (45·8 %), followed by visible fats and oils (12·4 %) and pulses and legumes (7·8 %). However, energy supply from sugar and sweetened beverages was within the recommended levels. Intake of micronutrient-rich foods, such as fruit and vegetable consumption (265 g/d), and fish and seafoods (20 g/d), was far below the FAO/WHO recommendation. Dairy and meat products intake was within the national recommended intake.ConclusionsThe diet of this urban South Indian population consists mainly of refined cereals with low intake of fish, fruit and vegetables, and all of these could possibly contribute to the risk of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes in this population.

Objectives: To analyse the adverse drug reactions (ADR) and related economic burden on the health care system and health seekers Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted in a South Indian tertiary care teaching hospital from July 2016 – December 2018.ADRs were analyzed for their causality, severity, predictability, and preventability through standard scales and were reported to the Pharmacovigilance Program of India (PvPI) through a specified updated Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission (IPC) suspected ADR reporting form. The total cost burden including both direct and indirect were calculated by assessing the ADR management including the clinical investigations done. The indirect cost was calculated based on the per capita analysis by using the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of our study area. Results: Among 458 ADRs, 81.88% were reported in Adult population with an almost same incidence in both the genders, majority were probable (41.70%) and Antibiotics were most commonly involved (16.18%). Around 60% ADRs were treated with at least one drug, 27% ADRs required either hospitalization or increased length of Hospitalization. A total of 989164.5 Indian Rupee (INR) was spent by the hospital and the patients for the management of ADRs, of which 79% was direct cost and 21% was indirect cost. Conclusion: In this hospital, 26.88% of patients were identified with ADRs that were associated with high direct costs, due to hospitalization/extended hospitalizations, which resulted in an extra economic burden to the healthcare sector and seekers for the management of ADRs.

Abstract Introduction Basal angle, Boogaard’s angle, and clival angle are frequently used in diagnosing the craniometric angle malformations either on radiography or now more on MRI. But anatomic and clinical studies have used varied terms for these parameters. We aimed to look for these parameters among a normal south Indian adult population to standardize the measurements and their terminology. Materials and Methods One hundred MRI images (50 males and 50 female) were studied retrospectively. MRI images that were reported as normal by neuroradiologist were taken up for the study. Mean and the standard deviation of males and females were calculated for basal angle, Boogaard’s angle, and clival angle, separately. Unpaired t-test was used to analyze the significant difference (p < 0.05) between the genders. The intraclass coefficient correlation was used to analyze the interobserver variability. Results The mean value of basal angle in males and females are 113°and 114°, respectively. The mean value of Boogaard’s angle in males and females are 120°and 121°, respectively. The mean value of clival angle in males and females are 157°and 155°, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference (p > 0.05) between males and females in all three angles. Conclusion Knowledge about the normal angles will be an important tool in understanding the normal and abnormal skull base. Since the type of skull varies in accordance with race, the normal craniometric angle also varies in accordance with race. The present study tried to standardize the parameters of normal skull base angles for appropriate correction of the anomalies and uniform usage of terminology.

Structured Questionnaire

The humerus can be broken down into four segments.  If the humerus is found in its entirety, then its length can be used to estimate stature.  However, if only segments of the humerus are recovered then a combination of segments can be used to estimate stature.To estimate the stature using Humerus length among adult population in South India. A Cross sectional study was carried out using purposive sampling among Medical Students at CIMS, Chamarajanagar. Study duration was 6 months from July 2019 to December 2020. 100 Male and 100 Female Medicos were included in the study after taking informed consent. Differently abled adults were excluded from the study to reduce the error. Structured questionnaire was used to collect the data such as age, gender, height, arm length or Humerus length and distance between medical and lateral condyle. In the study among males there was significant positive correlation between Humerus length and height and distance between medial & lateral epicondyle among females there was negative correlation between Humerus length and age Among Males equation for estimation of height using Humerus length = 103.1 + 1.903 x Arm length. Among Females equation for estimation of height using Humerus length = 108.34 + 1.608 x Arm length. As a result, these measurements may help to indicate the characteristic morphological features of humeral segments in south Indian population and also help the orthopedic surgeon to place the various implants in the reconstruction of humeral fractures.
