The purpose of this study was to determine the most common position, direction and size of the mental foramen in southern Nigeria population. Fifty nine (59) dry male mandibles were examined with the 1 and 2 premolars and the first molar as reference points. A digital vernier caliper was used to measure the vertical and horizontal diameters of the foramina. The position, direction and size of the mental foramina of the left parts of the mandibles were compared with the same features of the right sides of the bones. The Z-test was used to analyze data obtained for statistical significance. Results showed that the most common position of the mental foramen was in line with the long axis of the second premolar 54.24%, followed by the position between the 1 and 2 premolars (25.42%). The most common course seen was posteriorsuperior 88.14% and posterioly 11.86% .The mean horizontal diameter of the left and right sides of the mandible were (4.25 ± 0.006mm) and (3.97 ± 0.06mm) respectively. In conclusion, the most common position, direction and size of the mental foramen in adult male southern Nigerians is in line with the long axis of the second premolar tooth, the most common course is posterior-superior, respectively. The mental foramen of the left side of the mandible is slightly larger than the right side in Southern Nigeria.

Studies on Muslim Filipinos are scarce, especially those dealing with Western Mindanao. Taluksangay, a small community or barangay in Zamboanga City, is a cultural melting pot composed of a diverse group of cultural minorities, which includes the Badjao, Tausug, Sama-Banguingui, and Yakan. These tribes, although classified under a Muslim community, are distinct from one another in culture. They have resided in this community for several years after migrating from Sulu, Tawi-Tawi and Basilan. No studies have been conducted as to their current conditions in the community, thus this study was undertaken. To be able to do this, the Quality of Life index by Ferrans and Powers (1984 & 1998) was used as a guide to assess the current state of their

Parayi petta panthirukulamis a popular folktale in Kerala, India. People with the family names and caste affiliations accounted in the folktale, who are believed to be the descendants of Vararuchi, live in Shoranur, Pattambi and Thrithala of Palakkad district of Kerala state. Despite the huge difference in their caste and social ranks, these families are traditionally bound together by rituals and religious customs. Six male individuals each were identified from six lineages of Vararuchi and their blood samples were collected from the selected individuals on FTA cards (Whatman) after obtaining their informed consent. The blood stain on FTA cards was used for PCR reactions following manufactures protocol. Haplotypes were determined at 17 Y-chromosome loci using a AMPFlSTR Yfiler Kit (Applied Biosystems) following the instructions of the manufacturer. Haplogroup affinity of each individual was predicted based on the haplotype data using the online software WhitAtheys Haplogroup Predictor . Based on the results we concluded that true descendants of Vararuchis sons may have been either extinct through time due to different genetical or social reasons or severely declined in relation to the descendants of the own men of a family lineage.

Suprascapular nerve entrapment may be due to the variable morphology of the suprascapular notch. The present study was done in 100 scapulae obtained from the bone room of the department of anatomy of the Maharaja Agrasen Medical College (MAMC), Agroha as well as the Pandit B.D Sharma Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences (PGIMS) Rohtak. The suprascapular notch has been classified by various workers in different populations but no such data to the best of our knowledge is available from India. The aim of the present study is to study the morphometry and morphology of suprascapular notch in the population of north-west region of India. In the present study the suprascapular notch is classified on the basis of two classifications, proposed by Natsis et al and Iqbal et al. Based on the classification proposed by Natsis et al two parameters- the vertical length of the notch and transverse diameter of the notch were measured, the notch was classified into five types and following observations were made in the present study: type I, without a discrete notch (5%); type II, a notch that was longest in its transverse diameter (72%); type III, a notch that was longest in its vertical diameter (20%); type IV, a bony foramen (3%); type V, a notch and a bony foramen (none).

Aim: To examine the influence of and socioeconomic indices on anthropometric parameters of student adolescents in Nnewi, South-Eastern Nigeria.Subjects and Methods: Four thousand and seventy-eight student adolescents, aged 11-18 years, participated in this study. Age and gender of the participants as well as parents’ socioeconomic indices were collected. Weight and height were measured using standard procedures while BMI was calculated. Results: Male adolescents in private and public school had significant difference in their heights (p<.05) whereas their female counterparts had significant differences (p<.05) in their heights and weights. Parent’s occupation significantly influenced only the height of female adolescents while there were significant influences (p<.05) of parent’s education on only height and weight of each of male and female adolescents. Conclusion: The adolescents attending private school are taller than their counterparts in public schools. Highest educational attainment of the parents influence their height and weight whereas body mass index of adolescents are different only in female by the type of school attended and highest educational attainment whereas occupation influence only height of female adolescents.

Stature or body height is one most important and useful anthropometric parameter that determine the physical identity of an individual. The stature prediction occupies relatively a central position in the anthropometric research. Estimation of stature of and individual from the amputated limbs has obvious significance in the personal identification in the events of murders, accidents or natural disasters. The present study was under taken to measure the stature as well as the hand length to determine whether there is any correlation between the stature and the hand length. The objectives of the study were to measure the hand lengths, to estimate the stature from the hand lengths, and to correlate between the stature and the hand lengths to find out the any multiplication factor for it. The study was carried on two hundred male adult individuals. Measurement of stature and length of right and left side was taken with a standard anthropometer and a sliding caliper respectively. The mean stature and mean length of the right and left were159.01 (S.D. 6.78) cm, 16.92 (S.D. 0.91) cm and 16.46 (S.D. 0.93) cm. respectively. The present study showed significant (p<0.001) positive correlation between the stature and hand lengths. From the present study, we found some multiplication factors which were helpful for estimation of stature from respective hand lengths. That may be helpful for those who work in this area especially in the various medical disciplines, anthropologists, and security experts.

The Munda live in North India among varying populations and linguistic groups. Researchers have assumed that the Munda represented the earliest Indian population. This theory has been recently disputed by researchers who claim a S.E. Asian origin for the Munda speakers. The S.E. Asian origin hypothesis is not supported by Munda mtDNA phylogeny, archaeology and linguistics. This evidence suggest an ancient presence of Munda speakers in India before the Dravidian and Indo-Aryan speaking populations.

Kerosene is one of the by-products of fractional distillation of crude oil. It is a hydrocarbon and used domestically in the kitchen and industries for powering plants and automobiles. This study was carried out to appraise the defattening effects of kerosene on the caprine and porcine skulls. Bones were divided into 2 groups; one group was defattened by kerosene while the control was defattened by acetone. Our preliminary observations showed that kerosene had a strong clearing effect on bones. This effect competed favorably well with the actions of acetone used in the control group. By these preliminary observations kerosene may economically and functionally replace acetone in osteological preparations; if more basic studies of this nature are carried out.
