Publication Dominance of Carrying Angle in Right-hand among Dental Students of a Teaching Hospital: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study(Nepal Medical Association, 2022) Manandhar, Bipana; Shrestha, Isha; Shrestha, RiteeAbstract: Introduction: Carrying angle is an acute angle formed between extended arm and forearm when palm is directed forward. This angle is formed due to the angulation of the articulating surfaces of the humerus with the forearm. The angle is greater in dominant hand than in non-dominant hand in both males and females. Thus, this study aims to measure the carrying angle and find the prevalence of dominance of the carrying angle in the right-hand among dental students. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 138 students with the age ranging from 18-23 years in a teaching hospital. Ethical clearance was taken from Institutional Review Committee (Reference number: 28/021) of a tertiary dental college and teaching hospital. Convenience sampling was done. Carrying angle was measured in right and left-hands of students with the help of a goniometer. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 20.0 was used for data analysis. Point estimate at 95% Confidence Interval was calculated along with frequency and percentage for binary data. Results: Among 138 students, the dominance of carrying angle in right-hand was found in 107 (77.53%) (70.56-84.49 at 95% Confidence Interval). Prevalence of greater value of carrying angle in right-hand was found in 71 (78.88% ) female and 36 (75%) male students. Conclusions: The prevalence of dominance of the carrying angle in the right-hand among dental students was lower than the other studies done in similar settings.Publication Gynaecoid Pelvis among Female Patients Attending Department of Radiology of a Tertiary Care Centre: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study(Nepal Medical Association, 2023) Manandhar, Bipana; Shrestha, EshaAbstract Introduction: The bony pelvis consists of the two hip bones, the sacrum and the coccyx. The bony pelvis is divided into the greater pelvis and the lesser pelvis. The junction between the greater and the lesser pelvis is the pelvic inlet. The transverse and anteroposterior dimensions of the pelvic inlet will classify the pelvis as the anthropoid, gynaecoid, android, and platypelloid pelvis. Knowledge of female pelvis type is important for obstetricians to know the process of labour which can decrease the morbidity and mortality of mothers and neonates. Thus, the aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of gynaecoid pelvis among female patients attending the Department of Radiology of a tertiary care centre. Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in the Department of Radiology of a tertiary care centre from 24 July 2022 to 15 November 2022 after approval from the Institutional review committee (Reference number: 11/022). The study included radiographs of the female pelvis without any bony pathology and developmental anomalies. Anteroposterior and transverse dimensions of the pelvic inlet were measured using a digital ruler in a computer. A convenience sampling method was done. Point estimate and 95% confidence interval were calculated. Results: Among total female patients, the gynaecoid pelvis was found in 28 (46.66%) (34.04-59.28, 95% Confidence Interval). Mean anteroposterior and transverse diameters for the gynaecoid pelvis were observed to be 12.85±1.0 cm and 13.66±1.07 cm respectively. Conclusions: The prevalence of gynaecoid pelvis was similar to the other similar studies conducted in similar settings.Publication Gynaecoid Pelvis among Female Patients Attending Department of Radiology of a Tertiary Care Centre: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study(Nepal Medical Association, 2023) Manandhar, Bipana; Shrestha, EshaAbstract Introduction: The bony pelvis consists of the two hip bones, the sacrum and the coccyx.

The knowledge of variation of the cubital venous pattern is very essential for medical professionals for venous access during different medical procedures. This study aims to find the prevalence of Type A cubital venous pattern among students of a dental college. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 133 dental students of age 18 to 25 years in the department of anatomy of a dental college from November 2020 to February 2021. This study was conducted after obtaining ethical clearance from the Institutional Review Committee. Convenience sampling used and data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 20. Point estimate at 95% Confidence Interval was calculated along with frequency and proportion for binary data. Results: Out of 133 dental students, Type A cubital venous pattern was found in 96 (72.18%) (64.56-79.79 at 95% Confidence Interval). Type A cubital venous pattern was seen in the left arm in 116 (43.61%) and in the right arm of 76 (28.57%) students. This pattern was noticed in 30 (22.55%) male and 103 (77.44%) female students respectively. Conclusions: This study showed higher Type A cubital venous pattern among dental students than other international studies.
