Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is one of the additives (taste enhancer) used in food industries. MSG is widely used in Nigeria today as a spice despite the adverse effect on health that has been reported, based on researches done. This study was carried out to appraise the bleaching effects of MSG on the caprine and porcine skulls. The bones were divided into 2 groups: one group was bleached with MSG while the control was bleached with hydrogen peroxide. Our preliminary observations showed that MSG had strong bleaching effects on the bones. These effects competed favorably with the actions of hydrogen peroxide used in the control group. By these preliminary observations, MSG may economically and functionally replace hydrogen peroxide in osteological preparations.

Childhood undernutrition continues to be an important public health problem throughout the developing world including India. Present study was conducted in a government general hospital in South Kolkata to ascertain the level of undernutrition and growth pattern among urban infants born with LBW. A total of 97 infants, out of 52% boys and 48% girls were included in the present analyses. Underweight, stunting and wasting was defined as z-score below 2SD of weight-for-age, length-for-age and weight-for-length, respectively. Therefore, girls had 1.25 (Risk ratio (RR): 1.25; 95% CI: 0.73-2.15), 1.65 (CI: 0.76-3.56) and 1.88 (CI: 0.18-20.06) fold lower chance to be an underweight, stunted and wasted compared to boys. Moreover, sex of infants had a significant impact on length-for-age z-score (B = 0.372, P< 0.05). Overall the prevalence of underweight, stunting and wasting was 36.1%, 22.7% and 3.1%, respectively. This study provided evidence that undernutrition is still a leading problem during infancy in developing countries including India.

Tribal development is a vast and complex issue, which is multidimensional. Some of the important aspects of tribal development are health, education and economic development. There cannot be a singular policy for such diversified Indian tribes having specific and distinct needs. Thus, it is necessary to understand their needs, conditions, cultural norms, traditions and socioeconomic life.The present paper focuses on status of health and availability of treatment and aides among Santhals, a tribal community from Ranibandh block of West Bengal, India. Through the health centers, which conduct grass root level survey in the villages almost every month, Santhals of the region have gained awareness over time about their health and nutritional status.

The science of fingerprints – dermatoglyphics had long been widely accepted, and well acclaimed and reputed as panacea for individualization, particularly in forensic investigations. Nonetheless, the occasional errors in identification that at times bedevil the practice had been raising alarms and skepticism and the possible discontinuity of its acceptance. In spite of this, while no yet any parallel or other equally acceptable diagnostic methods of personal identification exist at present, relentless efforts in scientific advancements are ongoing to make fingerprint a most reliable and errorless human identification reference point. This paper addresses this subject from literary point of view.

Death investigation is a multi-disciplinary effort employing the skills of different forensic specialists from fields as diverse as pathology, anthropology, odontology and entomology. In the examination of skeletal trauma, the contribution of the analysis by the forensic anthropologists is essential. Such an analysis helps determine whether skeletal injuries are temporally associated with the events surrounding death and the mechanisms that were involved in their production. The aim of this study was to investigate the perimortem nature of various bone fractures by assessing their particular morphological characteristics. A total of 111 perimortem skeletal injuries observed in 16 skeletons from a documented skeletal collection and a series of forensic cases were examined for this purpose. The perimortem trauma investigated was limited to blunt force trauma. The absence of an osteogenic response remains a basic characteristic of a perimortem injury but not the only diagnostic criterion. It was concluded that fracture patterning, the morphology of fractured edges and the presence of particular skeletal and non-skeletal attributes may substantially contribute to the diagnosis of perimortem trauma. Postmortem bone alterations such as abrasion due to sediment action or whitening resulting from sun exposure, observed in certain perimortem fractures, can cause considerable problems in trauma analysis by removing important indicators of perimortem trauma.

The present study investigated age and sex variations in height and weight, and levels of stunting, among 673 (boys = 323; girls = 350) 1-5 years old rural children of Bengalee ethnicity at 30 Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) Centers of Chapra Block, Nadia District, West Bengal, India. Height-for-age (HAZ) was used to evaluate stunting following the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) Guidelines. Results showed that boys were significantly heavier and taller than girls at ages 2-4 years. Significant age differences existed in mean height and weight in both sexes. Mean HAZ was less than those of NCHS for both sexes at all ages. The overall (age and sex combined) rate of stunting was 39.2 %. The prevalence of stunting was higher among boys (43.4 %) than girls (35.4). Based on World Health Organization classification of severity of malnutrition, the overall prevalence of stunting was very high (≥ 40 %) among boys and high (30-39 %) among girls. In conclusion, the nutritional status of the subjects is unsatisfactory indicating a major public health problem. There is scope for much improvement in the form of enhanced supplementary nutrition.

This study gives comparative data on femoral anteversion obtained by two different methods. The angle was measured mechanically on 144 adult dry femora by method 1 –centre head neck line to retrocondylar line and method 2anterior head trochanter line to retrocondylar line. These two methods give significantly different mean angles, method-1 8.68o (+/-6.37) and method-2 16.34o (+/7.7). The angle in Indians is lower than African and English population. Bilateral variation was observed in the angle (left > right, p<.05). The incidence of retroversion was higher when observed with method-1. Conversion factor for method-1 to method-2 is 10.408 + 0.683 x (anteversion angle) and for method2 to method -1 is 1.054 + 0.047 x (anteversion angle). Method-2 is more reliable. The data established in this study will help to decide the validity and accuracy of clinical data obtained using advanced techniques. The conversion equations will make available data obtained by either method for future studies. The study will also be useful in general human osteology and forensic anthropology as far as the academics, clinical knowledge or research is concerned.

My associates and I have just completed a computer program that implemented statistical models based upon comparative humanoid anatomy to predict what we humans will look like when we reach the next link in our evolutionary heritage. This article explains how we accomplished this while also attempting to uncover the causes in our next evolutionary plateau towards superhumanity. These trends were based upon previous progressions and inclinations in construction to statistically predict future morphological structures. This ambitious program used progressive trends to reveal a gradual development in human evolutionary transitions that will be further enhanced and accelerated by the impact of the new genetics and computer technology. Whether these transitions require a quarter of a million years to develop through gradual changes in Natural Selection or a or a few hundred with the impact of computer technology and new genetics, makes little difference as we will continued to evolve.

The present study aims to reconstruct stature among male and female Shia Muslims of Delhi using lower limb dimensions. To this aim the stature, femur length, tibial length, fibular length, foot length and foot breadth were recorded on each subject using the standard measurement techniques recommended by Martin and Saller 1 The data is composed of 1011 Shia Muslims (503 males and 508 females) within the age range of 20-40 years. Multiplication factors (M.Fs) and linear regression equations for stature estimation were produced using the above mentioned variables. Analysis of data reveals that the Shia males are taller than the Shia females. The sex differences have been observed to be highly significant. Analysis of the study reveals that tibial length among males exhibits the overall highest value of correlation with stature (r = 0.765) and lowest value of standard error of estimate while among females femur length exhibits the highest value of correlation (r = 0.742) with stature. However foot breadth exhibits the least correlation with stature in case of both males and females. The study highlights that the tibial length among males and femur length among female provides the best estimate of stature. However, the estimated stature may not be quite reliable using foot breadth among both males and females as it exhibits the lowest correlation with stature. Analysis of data clearly indicates that the dependability in the predicted stature would be better on using linear regression equations for any of these body dimensions as compared to the use of M.Fs for this purpose.
