STUDY OF ACCESSORY SUPRAORBITAL FORAMEN IN NORTH INDIAN HUMAN SKULL

Objective: This research was aimed at telling the anatomical characteristics of the accessory supraorbital foramen (ASOF) in relation to the main supraorbital foramen (SOF), which is necessary in clinical situations that require regional surgical procedures. Methods: A total dedicated to the presence and location of 72 dry Indian adults of unknown age and sex were investigated. In each skull, the ASOF location was measured on both sides with a Vernier caliper metal case, with the SOF as the reference point. The total number of accessory foramen was also noted. Results: Accessory infraorbital foramens (IOFs) were seen only in 4.16% in our study and all seen were single in number. Half of those accessory foramen were present on medial and rest half were present on superomedial position as compared to the main IOF. Half among present accessory foramens were located at a distance of <2 mm and half were located at a distance of more than 2 mm. The mean location of accessory IOF was at 7.07 mm from main IOF. Conclusion: Knowledge of the anatomical characteristics of ASOF can have major effects on surgical and local anesthetic preparation blockage of the super orbital nerves. Additional guidance for surgeons may be provided with information on the foramens obtained from this study. The surgeons should note this during the nerve block as damage to either branch will lead to sensory impairment and incomplete blocking of the nerve

Self heating Effects in GaN High Electron Mobility Transistor for Different Passivation Material

In this paper effect of self-heating has been studied of AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) for different passivation layers which is promising device for high power at high frequencies. The different passivation layers used are aluminium oxide (Al2O3), silicon nitride (SiN) and silicon dioxide (SiO2). The device GaN HEMT has been simulated and characterised for its thermal behaviour by the distribution of lattice temperature inside the device using device simulation tool ATLAS from SILVACO. The transfer and output characteristics with and without self-heating has been studied for electrical characterisation. The channel temperature for different passivation observed is 448 K, 456 K and 471 K forAl2O3, SiN and SiO2 respectively. The observed different temperatures are due to difference in their thermal conductivity. This channel temperature information is critical to study the reliability of the device at high power levels

A study on body mass index and its correlation with type 2 diabetes

Obesity and increases in body weight are among the most important risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Obesity contributes to the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Body mass index is also known as obesity index. Body mass index is a strong and independent risk factor for being diagnosed in cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus. There is a high risk of type 2 diabetes in those who have a higher body mass index. The present study has been done with the objective of finding correlation between BMI and type 2 diabetes

STUDY OF VERTICAL DISTANCE BETWEEN SUPRAORBITAL FORAMEN AND INFRAORBITAL FORAMEN AMONG NORTH INDIAN HUMAN DRY SKULLS

Objectives: The aim of study was to document the positional distance of supraorbital foramen (SOF) in relation to Infraorbital foramen (IOF), which is necessary for periorbital procedures. Materials and Methods: A total of 72 dry human skulls of unknown age and gender from North India, were studied. In each skull, distance between supraorbital and IOF was measured on both sides using a metal casing Vernier Caliper. Results: The mean distance between inferior wall of SOF and superior wall of IOF was found to be 40.81 (±6.66) mm on the left side and 40.91 (±6.15) mm on the right side. The overall value for both sides was 40.86 (±6.28) mm Conclusion: Precise knowledge about distance between supraorbital and IOF have important bearings on orbital and periorbital procedures. It provides guidance for anesthesiologists and facial surgeons

A study of anionic, cationic and amphoteric collector

Online access for this thesis was created in part with support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) administered by the Nevada State Library, Archives and Public Records through the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA). To obtain a high quality image or document please contact the DeLaMare Library at https://unr.libanswers.com/ or call: 775-784-6945.Flotation tests for quartz and alumina were carried out using sodium N-coco-B aminopropionate and g-y Dipal mitoyl L—a lecithin as collectors. In some systems, good flotation of a mineral occurs in the surfactant's isoelectric range while in others a mineral is floated over a wide range of pH including the mineral's point of zero charge. Electrophoretic mobility studies indicate a positive adsorption of the amphoteric surfactants on these minerals. The adsorption of amphoteric surfactants may be accounted for partially by electrostatic charge attraction but also there should be some special affinity involved between surfactant's polar group and the mineral surfaces. The amphoteric surfactants seem to be potential selective collectors for some oxide minerals

Chloroquine delivery to erythrocytes in Plasmodium berghei-infected mice using antibody-bearing liposomes as drug vehicles

Suitability of anti-erythrocyte F(ab')2-bearing liposomes as vehicles for chloroquine in the treatment of chloroquine resistantPlasmodium berghei infections in mice has been examined. Free chloroquine or chloroquine encapsulated in antibody-free liposomes failed to show much effect on the resistant infections, but the same doses of this drug after being encapsulated in antibody-bearing liposomes exhibited a significant inhibitory effect on this infection. These results indicate that chloroquine delivery in antibody targeted liposomes may help in the successful treatment of the chloroquine resistant malarial infections

Adult Necrotising Enterocolitis: a Rare Entity

A case of Adult Necrotising Enterocolitis in an adult female whom diagnosed with intestinal obstruction was reported. On exploratory laparotomy, the mechanical caused was not found although major part of small bowel, caecum and proximal ascending colon were gangrenous along with intervening normal parts. Resection of affected bowel was performed followed by jejunostomy and transverse colostomy. Unfortunately, the patient not survive in the postoperative periods. Adult Necrotising Enterocolitis may mimic intestinal obstruction clinically or radiologically and prompt medical and surgical intervention is indicated in doubtful cases although it carries a poor prognosis. Key words: adult necrotizing Enterocolitis, non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia, gangrenous bowe
