TFCC, being a complicated structure, located on the ulnar side of the wrist is composed of multiple distinct anatomic entities which together play a critical role in wrist biomechanics. The anatomy of TFCC has not been extensively studied in the Indian population. To elucidate the microscopic anatomy and composition of the triangular fibrocartilage complex of the wrist joint using haematoxylin-eosin and Verhoff Van Gieson staining methods. Samples collected from 40 specimens (20 right and 20 left limbs) were placed in 10% neutral buffered formalin for fixation. Paraffin-embedded blocks were prepared and tissue sections were taken at 7-micron thickness. The slides were subjected to H&E and VVG staining following standardized protocol. The morphological structure of the seven components of triangular fibrocartilage complexes was assessed. The articular disc consisted of densely packed interlaced fibrocartilage with sparse blood vessels. Radioulnar ligaments showed densely-packed-parallel or interlaced- collagen-bundles. A mixture of tight and loose parallel tissue was observed in the sub-sheath of the extensor carpi ulnaris muscle, the ulnar-triquetral (UTL), and the ulnar-lunate ligament (ULL). Irregular morphological composition and loose connective tissue predominated in the ulnar-carpal meniscus (UCM). Blood vessels were observed in the epi-fascicular/ fascicular areas of the UTL, interstitial region of ULL and UCM. The microscopic anatomy of TFCC was complex owing to the varied nature of its entities. An understanding of the distribution of connective tissue, blood vessels, and elastic fibres would be of immense help in planning arthroscopic procedures.

The flexor digitorum brevis (FDB) muscle extends across the central region of the sole, positioned deep beneath the plantar aponeurosis. It inserts into the lateral four toes through four slender musculotendinous slips. Functionally, this muscle reinforces the foot arch by facilitating flexion at the interphalangeal and metatarsophalangeal joints of the lateral toes. In clinical contexts, the FDB muscle serves as a musculocutaneous flap in reconstructive surgeries, addressing various foot deformities. Despite its small size, the FDB muscle carries significant evolutionary importance, indicating potential phylogenetic degeneration in humans due to adaptations to diverse lifestyles. The anatomical variation presented in this case report holds importance, as the presence or absence of the FDB muscle can play a crucial role in maintaining arch integrity and holds relevance from a surgical perspective.

The study examined variations in morphology and morphometry of the brachiocephalic artery and their clinical implications in dissected cadavers. Fifty-eight (58) adult cadavers, 57 males and 1 female were dissected to expose the brachiocephalic artery, and the morphological and morphometric variations were recorded.Fifty-one (51) cadavers (88%) had the BCA arising directly from the aortic arch while 7 cadavers (12%) had it originating from the common trunk with the left common carotid artery. The BCA arose on the left anterolateral to the trachea in 57 cadavers (98.3%) and one cadaver (1.7%) had it arising in the midline anterior to the trachea crossed the trachea from left to right terminating posterior to the right sternoclavicular joint where it bifurcated into the right subclavian and right common carotid artery in all cadavers. The mean lengths of the torsos and Brachiocephalic arteries were 45.78±2.93cm and 4.14±0.58cm respectively and the two parameters had statistically significant positive correlation (r=0.33, p<0.05).: A majority of the Ugandan cadaveric population have brachiocephalic arteries with the normal origin, course, and branching patterns. The occurrence of origin variants of BCA from the common trunk and anterior midline to the trachea may be associated with tracheal compression and aortic dilation; hence should be considered as a potential risk factor for thoracic aortic aneurysm and during tracheostomy respectively.

The comparison of tissue colour between Thiel's embalmed cadavers (TEC) and formalin-embalmed cadavers (FEC) is crucial for assessing the efficacy of Thiel embalming technique as a suitable alternative to formalin embalming for surgical skill training and anatomical education. Most of the studies which declare the superiority of tissue colour in TEC over FEC have done subjective assessment and comparison of the tissue colour. This study aims to compare the colour difference between Thiel and formalin embalmed cadavers objectively. : The current study used six human cadavers to compare the effects of two embalming methods, Modified Thiel’s solution (MTS) and Modified Formalin Solution(MFS). The tissues of the cadavers were dissected and photographed to be analysed for Red, Blue, Green values using Image J software. The mean (SD) R-value (Red), G-value (Green), and B-value (Blue) for MTS embalmed cadavers were 149.78 (16.070), 124 (19.675), and 109.96 (9.852), respectively, from pictures of embalmed cadavers from research groups. The mean RGB value of MTS embalmed cadavers was substantially (P<0.05) higher than MFS embalmed cadavers. The current research found that MTS-embalmed cadavers have greater RGB values than MFS-embalmed ones. This information helps to fully understand tissue property changes, evaluate their impact on student perceptions and learning outcomes, and determine Thiel embalming's suitability for surgical training and workshops.

: The use of e-assessment/online tests have increased in higher education over the last two decades. Technology plays a positive role in students learning process and provides an opportunity to give immediate feedback. In India online mode was not used for formative/summative assessment except in fewer renowned institutions. But now it has increased recently because of COVID-19 pandemic.: This study aims to know the perception of I year MBBS students on the advantages and disadvantages of using online assessment in formative and internal assessment when compared to the traditional method.In a private medical college, Cross-sectional survey was done using standard and validated questionnaires with likert scale scoring (1-Strongly disagree, 2- Disagree, 3- Neutral, 4- Agree & 5- Strongly agree) for I year undergraduate medical students.Out of 115 students’ responses, 47.4% (36%-Agree & 11.5%- strongly agree) that online assessment has positive influence on their learning experience but only 39% were comfortable to use online assessment over traditional method and the others remained neutral (32%) and (29%) disagreed to the statement. By having online trial test and trainings 85.1% students agreed to use online assessment but still felt comfortable to use traditional method for assessment.From our study, we found that students did not prefer to switch from traditional to an online method in the form of learning or assessment. But they show their willingness to adapt to a blended assessment method.

The world has witnessed a pandemic in the recent past. COVID-19 has been a nightmare for all. The virus SARS-CoV-2 causes the disease. The impact of the pandemic on human life and on various aspects of the society is still prevailing. No specific effective drug has yet been formulated to completely combat the virus. It took more than a year for the researchers and scientists around the globe to understand the mechanism of the virus infection. For the time being vaccines have been designed and those seems to be effective in preventing the infection to some extent. The pattern of infection by SARS-CoV-2, symptoms, pathophysiology, complications and fatality associated with COVID-19 has been found to be dependent on various factors and varies from person to person. The virus has been found to have differential mechanism of infection and impacts in male and female. The X-Chromosome plays an interesting role.

An oval shape foramen is present in the greater wing of sphenoid through which passes the many vital structures. It is located at the transitional area between intracranial and extracranial structures. It is important for diagnostic and surgical procedures. A total 100 skulls were used for the study. 82 skulls were studied and 18 skulls were excluded from the study. The skulls were collected from Phase I MBBS students from different medical colleges in south India. Skulls in poor conditions or skulls with partly damaged surroundings of the foramen ovale were not considered. Maximum length and width of foramen ovale was measured using digital Vernier calliper. Also, the distance from the anterior root of zygoma and the distance from the articular tubercle on zygomatic arch to foramen ovale were measured. Variation in right and left side were calculated, the variations in shape also recorded. The mean length of foramen ovale was 6.8 ±1 and the mean breath of foramen ovale was 3.65±1. Two-sample independent t test showed significant difference between the right and left breadths of foramen ovale (p 0.0126), while the right and left lengths of foramen ovale were not significant (p 0.245). The mean distance of foramen ovale from articular tubercle on Zygomatic arch was 33±2 mm. The mean distance from anterior root of Zygomatic arch was 21.5 ± 2.1 mm. The present study concludes that there is significant difference between sizes of right and left side foramen ovale. Foramen ovale has practical significance to both neurosurgical and functional cranial neuroanatomy as it provides transcutaneous approaches to the skull base especially in cases of trigeminal neuralgia, as the Gasserion ganglion can be approached through it.

It is located at the transitional area between intracranial and extracranial structures. It is important for diagnostic and surgical procedures. A total 100 skulls were used for the study. 82 skulls were studied and 18 skulls were excluded from the study. The skulls were collected from Phase I MBBS students from different medical colleges in south India. Skulls in poor conditions or skulls with partly damaged surroundings of the foramen ovale were not considered. Maximum length and width of foramen ovale was measured using digital Vernier calliper. Also, the distance from the anterior root of zygoma and the distance from the articular tubercle on zygomatic arch to foramen ovale were measured. Variation in right and left side were calculated, the variations in shape also recorded. The mean length of foramen ovale was 6.8 ±1 and the mean breath of foramen ovale was 3.65±1. Two-sample independent t test showed significant difference between the right and left breadths of foramen ovale (p 0.0126), while the right and left lengths of foramen ovale were not significant (p 0.245). The mean distance of foramen ovale from articular tubercle on Zygomatic arch was 33±2 mm. The mean distance from anterior root of Zygomatic arch was 21.5 ± 2.1 mm.

The omohyoid muscle is important in radical neck dissection, as it is a landmark for this operation. Because it divides the anterior and posterior cervical triangles into smaller triangles and its particular relationship to the large cervical vessels, the presence of an anatomical variation of the omohyoid muscle is important. Either belly may be absent or double; and the inferior belly may be attached directly to the clavicle and the superior is sometimes fused with sternohyoid. Variations in the omohyoid muscle might be linked to differences in embryological development, which could influence the muscle’s final form and function. Anderson (Anderson, 1881) theorized that the superior belly of the omohyoid muscle is a true infrahyoid muscle, whereas the inferior belly most likely shares a common embryology with the subclavius muscle. As omohyoid mucle is used to achieve the reconstruction of the laryngeal muscles and bowed vocal folds, the knowledge of the possible anomalies of the omohyoid muscle is important. In the present study, we have found a case with two inferior bellies & aberrant course of superior belly of omohyoid on right side of 40 years female cadaver embalmed with formalin during routine dissection at Department of Anatomy AIIMS Gorakhpur. Omohyoid muscle is closely related to large vessels of neck & brachial plexus, so variations in this muscle are clinically important.
