Item Bilateral anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy in Takayasu arteritis.(2002-03-02) Malik, Kishan Pal S; Kapoor, Kamini; Mehta, Anuj; Dadeya, Subhash; Guliani, Braham P; Aggarwal, Seema; Gupta, Vishnu SThis report describes a case of a young male with bilateral, asymmetrical AION. He was subsequently diagnosed with Takayasu's disease.Item Determination of exophthalmometry values in the North Indian population(All India Ophthalmological Society, 2022-08) Revankar, Shruti; Mehta, AnujPurpose: To determine exophthalmometry values (EV) in the north Indian population and to find its correlation with the age, gender, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), locality, and base value of the population. Methods: A total of 1000 eligible participants with 504 females and 496 males with age >5 years were included in this observational cross-sectional study. Age, gender, and locality of the subjects were noted. Hertel’s exophthalmometry was performed on all subjects. The exophthalmometry values and base values were recorded. Height and weight were measured for all participants. BMI was calculated using the parameters. Results: The overall mean exophthalmometry value (mm) was 14.94 ± 2.43 mm with a range between 8 and 22 mm. There was no significant difference in EV between the two eyes. Males recorded a significantly higher mean EV of 15.4 ± 2.51 mm as compared to females with a value of 14.49 ± 2.27 mm. Base value of Hertel’s exophthalmometer had a mean value 100.78 ± 5.63 mm and a range of 84–120 mm. Age, height, weight, BMI, and locality of the subjects were found to have a significant effect on the exophthalmometry as well as the base value of the population. A significant correlation was also seen between exophthalmometry values and base values of the population. Conclusion: Our study provided the normal exophthalmometric range for the north Indian population and also demonstrated the relationship of age, gender, height, weight, BMI, locality, and base value with the exophthalmometric valuesItem Prevalence of work related musculoskeletal disorders in truck drivers and its associated risk factors(Medip Academy, 2019-06) Mehta, Anuj; Athavale, Neeraj A.; Shyam, Ashok K.; Sancheti, Parag K.Background: The main purpose of the study was to find out the different joints affected in the truck drivers and the associated-risk factors for musculoskeletal pain in this population due to the paucity of literature pertaining to Indian truck drivers.Methods: A self-administered closed-ended validated questionnaire was prepared by the researcher incorporated with Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire and numeric pain rating scale and the participants were questioned using the same questionnaire and response was recorded by the researcher.Results: This study found a prevalence rate of work-related musculoskeletal pain to be 76.92% in truck drivers and the most commonly affected joints are lower back followed by the knee, shoulder and cervical spine. The factors which are found to be responsible for work related musculoskeletal pain in truck drivers are age, years of driving, number of driving days in a week, number of driving hours in a day, rest duration, posture, stress, vibration & poor condition of roads.Conclusions: It can be concluded from the results of this study that extrinsic factors do play a significant role in the causation of work-related musculoskeletal pain in truck drivers and are a leading cause for affecting the health of truck drivers and a frequent cause of sickness absente
