Background: Estimation of stature is an integral part of forensic anthropology and identification process in dead bodies. Mutilated and skeletonized body parts, which are generally received during disasters and mass casualties, carries significant burden of identification for a forensic expert. This study is aimed at estimating stature from percutaneous tibial length. Material and Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted from February 2020 to February 2021 in Nobel Medical College Teaching Hospital. 350 Nepalese medical students, 183 males and167 females, who were between 18 – 30 years, were included in the study. Their height and percutaneous tibial length was measured. Simple regression analysis was done using SPSS software version 20 to obtain a correlation between two parameters. Results: The results showed a significant correlation between the stature and percutaneous tibial length in both sexes. The regression formulae derived for calculation of stature was 104.80 + 1.81 * percutaneous tibial length(cm) for male and 93.58 + 1.91 * percutaneous tibial length(cm) for female. All the measurements were higher in males than in females. Conclusion: The study revealed a significant correlation between stature and percutaneous tibial length for both sexes in Nepalese population. Hence stature can be estimated from tibial length in both sexes which can aid in identification process and anthropological studies in Nepal.

Correction: The second author, Sanjib Mani Regmi, was added to the website version on 13th August 2021. It omitted by mistake. The PDF of the article was correct. Background: The infection of tonsil may occur primarily or secondarily as a result of upper respiratory tract infection, usually preceded by a viral infection. Bacterial tonsillitis is most commonly caused by Streptococcus pyogenes. Penicillin remains the treatment of choice for S. pyogenes tonsillitis. The present study aimed to identify the bacterial pathogen in acute tonsillitis and their sensitivity to antibiotics. Material and Methods: This prospective study was conducted in the Department of Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery and Department of Microbiology, Gandaki Medical College, Pokhara Nepal from January 2018 to January 2019. Ninety-six patients who presented with acute tonsillitis and admitted in the hospital were included in the study. Results: The commonest age group of acute tonsillitis was found to be between 21-30 years. S. pyogenes was the commonest isolate 32(33.3%) followed by S. aureus 19(19.8%). Streptococcus pyogenes was sensitive to Ampicillin (65.6%) and Cloxacillin (68.7%) while the isolates were more sensitive to levofloxacin and doxycycline. Carbapenem were found to be most effective drugs for intravenous treatment. Conclusion: The most common bacterial isolates were Streptococcus pyogenes. The sensitivity of organism shift from ampicillin group to fluroquinolones and tetracycline. Identification of bacterial isolates and their antibiotics sensitivity patterns could prevent resistance of bacteria to drugs and help in the proper management of acute tonsillitis.

Background: Diabetic patients are at the risk of untimely atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The level of blood lipids, their ratios, glycosylated hemoglobin, and platelet indices are potential markers for the assessment of cardiovascular disease risk in diabetic patients. This study aims to insights into cardiovascular disease risk among diabetic patients in reference to glycemic control and duration of diabetes on the basis of lipid ratios and platelet indices by comparing with healthy controls. Materials and Methods: A case control study was carried out among the patients, diagnosed as type 2 diabetes mellitus at Dhulikhel hospital-Kathmandu University hospital. Socio-demographic questionnaire, anthropometric measurements, and biochemical tests was performed. Descriptive analysis and independent T-test for the testing relationship between categorical variables along with correlation was done. Results: Nearly one-third of diabetic patients were under poor glycemic control with high risk of cardiovascular diseases on the basis of blood lipid ratios and platelet indices. Cardiac risk ratio, Atherogenic Index of Plasma, and Atherogenic Coefficient was found to be significantly high in diabetic compared to the control group (5.22±1.54 vs. 3.71±0.99, p <0.05), (0.33±0.18 vs. 0.22±0.14, p <0.05), (4.22±1.54 vs. 2.71±0.99, p <0.05) respectively. Similarly Mean Platelet Volume was also significantly higher in diabetic compared to the control group (10.16±1.43 vs. 9.06±0.81, p <0.05). Conclusion: Poor glycemic control seems riskier than prolonged diabetes on the basis of blood lipids, their ratios and platelet indices.

Background: The eye and vision related problems that results from continuous use of computers and other visual display terminals for extended period of time leads to computer vision syndrome. Due to rapid digitalization in human life, the risk of developing it has also increased in many folds. So, with an aim of determining the prevalence and level of awareness of computer vision syndrome among computer users along with their attitude and practices to prevent it, this study was conducted in the office employees who use computer for a considerable period of time. Materials and Methods: A hospital based observational descriptive study was conducted in the out-patient department of Ophthalmology in Nobel Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Biratnagar, where 105 employees working in different work stations of same institution were enrolled. A questionnaire and the clinical findings were used to collect data. Results: About 80% of the employees were using computer for about (8-11) hours per day. Prevalence of computer vision syndrome noted was (92.4%) with low level of knowledge (85.7%) about it. About 45% of them wore glasses for their refractive errors but attitude and practices in work place to prevent the bad effects of using visual display terminals were found to be lacking (53.3%). Burning sensation in the eye, headache, ocular irritation and itching and neck, shoulder or back pain were the common symptoms. Around (60-70)% of the eyes tested positive for dry eye. Conclusion: Lack of awareness of computer vision syndrome and lack of personal protective measures were associated with its high level of prevalence.

Background: The fibula is a long bone located at the lateral aspect of the leg. Its diaphysis is principally nourished by one or more nutrient arteries entering the shaft through an opening referred to as the nutrient foramen. The present findings on the morphometrics of the foramen may be helpful to forensic experts, radiologists and clinicians for diagnosis and management of various bony conditions. Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive cross sectional study conducted on fifty dry adult human fibulae collected at the Department of Anatomy, Chitwan Medical College from June to September 2020. Total fibular length along with the number and location of all nutrient foramina present were recorded. Foraminal index of the fibula was calculated as well. Results: The study revealed that the average length of Nepalese fibulae was 34.1 ± 1.9 cm. Eighty-eight percent fibula had a single nutrient foramen, 4 % had two and 8 % had none. The most common location was between the medial crest and posterior border (63%, in fibula with single foramen), followed by the medial crest (30%) and between the medial crest and interosseous border (7%). The average foraminal index was 44.01 ± 7.9 % with a range of 34.9 to 65.7 %. Conclusion: Single nutrient foramen located at the middle third on posterior aspect was the most common finding. Regional data on the number and location of the foramina would be useful to forensic experts and clinicians for various diagnostic and treatment purposes.
