    A Comparative Morphometric Study Of Orbit- In North Indian Dry Skull
    (IMED Research Publications, 2018-07) Roli Joshi; Pankaj Singh; Rani, Archana; Kumar, Vinod.
    Background: The bony orbit which lodges the visual apparatus is important not only for anatomists but also forophthalmologists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons and forensic experts. The objectives of the Present study areto provide the normal reference orbital parameters for the north Indian population.Materials and Methods: The study involved 215 dry skulls (83 female & 132 males) from the department ofanatomy from GSVM Kanpur, KGMC Lucknow, SMC Unnao. Orbital height (OH), orbital width (OW) has been takenof both side skulls in male and female. Orbital index (OI) was calculated by OH/OW × 100= OI. All thesemeasurements are taken by digital vernier caliper.Result: Mean orbital height in male skull was 33.8 ± 1.27, while female skull was having 31.2 ± 0.98. Orbitalwidth was 42.64 ± 2.16 in male and 40.85 ± 2.08 was measured in female and the orbital index was 83.45 and77.96 in male then after in female and these all values are found to be statically highly significant. Whilecomparing the right and left sided skull the height was 32.37 ± 1.08, 30.96 ± 0.85 while breadth was 40.31 ± 2.28and 40.28 ± 2.02 and the orbital index was 80.75 ± 5.60 and 80.67 ± 5.31 founded only orbital height have highlysignificant value and width and index having nonsignifacant value.Conclusion: We can conclude by our study that right orbit and male orbits have higher values In comparison toopposite side and sex having more value. Study also tells that male skull Is categorized under mesoseme andfemale in microseme categories of north Indian populations. It is recommended that further population basedstudies be carried out in different geographical locations

    Experience of first year medical students in dissection hall
    (Educational Society for Excellence, 2017) Ratnesh, Ruchi; Kumar, Sanjay; Fatima, Nafees; Akhtar, Jawed; Kumar, Vinod.
    Background: Dissection of human cadavers has been central part of medical education since renaissance. Dissection has also been labelled as the royal road and cadaver as the first patient. First year medical students when encounter human cadavers for first time, faces a variety of emotional reactions and mixed feeling. Aim and objectives: For the assessment of impact of anxiety and physical symptoms from the experience of dissection hall, we prepared questionnaires to see whether emotional stress can be diminished and obsereved changes in feeling and attitude in first year medical students. Materials and methods: The present study was conducted on 180 first year medical students over 2 years (Batch 2013 and 2014) at Darbhanga medical college, Laheriasarai, Bihar, India. All the students were given 3 sets of questionnaire. The students were asked the answer in either yes or no. Results: The difference in the rate of anxiety initially and 3 months later was significant. Conclusion: For improving the attitude of the students towards cadaveric dissection there must be better teacher-students interaction which in turn will help in improving their mental status to handle the highest level of stress in clinical carrier.
