Abstract:The role of an anatomist is to make understand the human anatomy by medical and allied students. It should help the practitioners in their professional life. Role of anatomy in medical education is changing as the health care management is evolving. Nomenclature and method of evaluation of heart & its vessels according to clinicians is uniform. But the Anatomists differ. A uniform terminology should be accepted to take part in multidiscpline discussion.Ultimately teachers of anatomy failed because we did not present new anatomy dictated by the new technology i.e CT scan, MRI, USG, 2D echo. Main left coronary artery system is the commonly affected vessel. Usually it is the first vessel to show blockages. An attempt is made in this study to determine the variations shown by main left coronary artery and its branches on angiographic study.
Keywords:Left coronary artery, Angiographic anatomy, ostium, Bypass, Angioplasty.

Abstract:Background: Occupational low back pain is most common symptom among dentists.Working for long hours has its hazards involving working in a standing position and prolonged stooping over a reclined or supine patient. Also, dentist must use a variety of hand tools in a delicate manner. Objectives: 1) To find out the prevalence of low back pain (LBP) among dentists 2) To study occupational factors associated with low back pain. Materials and Methods: This was a cross sectional study carried out among dentists in pune city during the February 2010 to April 2010. Total 245dentists were selected by simple random sampling. Information was gathered with predesigned and pretested questionnaire. Prevalence LBP is defined as rate of study subjects who experienced LBP in the past one week. Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) score was used to assess physical disability due to low back pain. Study variables included were physique of dentists, demographic features (age, gender and marital status), working conditions (working hours, dental chair used, posture during the procedures), health conditions, the presence of low back pain, Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) score. Results & Conclusion: Prevalence of LBP was found to be 62.10%. Among study subjects with LBP, RMDQ score averaged 5.1, Sleeplessness, duration of working>48hrs/wk, and body mass index (BMI) = 25 kg/m2.
Key words:Low back pain, Dentists, Roland MorrisDisability Questionnaire, Dental Chair.

Abstract:We are reporting a case of 60 yr old female from non endemic, resident of Pahur Tq. Jamner, Dist. Aurangabad. She complained of abnormal sensation of some moving in right eye intermittently. The size of the eye was gradually becoming small. Also the patient had redness and watering of eye. But there was no pain. These symptoms were present since 3 years. She was treated with antibiotic and analgesic eye drops, with no relief. on opthalmic examination there was subconjuctival worm which was removed surgically. The worm was identified as W. bancrofti & properly treated. Live adult worm in subconjuctiva of eye is uncommon in India. However, ophthalmologists should be aware of this clinical manifestation and go for a proper examination and identification of the worm.
Keywords:Subconjuctival worm, W.bancrofti, ocular infestation.
