Chitala chitala (Hamilton, 1822) is an indigenous fish of freshwater lotic
ecosystem belonging to the family Notopteridae of the Order Osteoglossiformes. This
fish species has relatively larger market demand presumably because of having rich
lipo-proteinaceous tissue at the ventral side of the body. Wild variety of Chitala
chitala (Hamilton, 1822) was identified at the lower reach of Muhuri river of Tripura,
India. As per IUCN criteria this fauna may be considered near threatened fish species
in North-east India in general and Tripura in particular. In various corners of India
this species was considered as preferred fish species. Morphometric character of the
fish specimen showed hump-like structure just behind the head area, bar, transverse,
silver at dorsal body area. Greatly compressed body, laterally, oblong and tapering
towards caudal area. Dorsal fin, significantly smaller. Anal fin, very long; originated
with the fusion of pelvic fin and also ended by fusion with caudal fin. Scales, tiny,
sharp at ventral area of head. A specific fin formula was noticed in Chitala chitala
(Hamilton, 1822).

Cardiac problems are encountered in the clinic more nowadays. Many of the cardiac problems and procedures have impact on the Sinu-atrial nodal artery which is the pace-maker of the heart. Variations of Sinu-atrial nodal artery and its knowledge is must in understanding cardiac problems and conducting clinical practices. Thirty hearts from the cadavers were taken for the study. The hearts were dissected, Sino-atrial nodal artery were exposed and analyzed. Sinu-Atrial nodal artery did not arise from arteries other than the right coronary artery. The level of origin differed in different specimens. In 10% of the specimens, it originated from the length interval of 6-10 mm, in 40% from the length interval of 11-15 mm, in 23.33% from the length interval of 16-20 mm, in 13.33% from the length interval of 21-25 mm and in 10% from the length interval of 26-30 mm from the origin of right coronay artery. In one of the specimen it was found to originate from the right coronary artery at a length of 55mm from its origin which was near the inferior margin of the heart. The course was retrocaval in all of the specimens. No extra origin of the artery was found

Mediastinal teratoma is a germinal tumor that results from embryologic disorders or germ primitive cells in the mediastinum. It’s a retrospective study concerning 5 patients addressed to our center for mediastinal tumor. Main symptoms were chest pain, dyspnea and pleural effusion syndrome. Computer tomography and chest x-rays were done for 4 patients. We found a bulky mass in left pleura, an anterior and right mediastinal Cyst, an anterior and left upper mediastinal Cyst, a bulky mass anterior in the mediastinum. In one patient, echocardiography showed a pericardial effusion with compression of cardiac chambers. Surgery was cystectomy through a posterolateral thoracotomy in many cases or a median sternotomy in one case. There was any major complication. Mediastinal teratoma have to be suspected in a tumor at the chest x-rays of a young adult. Its treatment remains complete resection of the tumor by surgery to avoid a recurrence tumor

Colon cancer is currently the third most common cancer in both men and
women after lung and breast cancer. Incidence and mortality rates have been
declining since the 1980's, partially due to improvements in screening and
prevention. Colon cancer is the cancer that formed in the tissues of the colon (the
longest part of large intestine). Most colon cancers are adenocarcinomas. Many
studies have been done to elucidate the ability of iron to rule out colon cancer. Some
of these studies encouraged using iron status as early predictors of gastrointestinal
tumors. The aim of this study was to estimate level of serum iron and ferritin among
colonic cancer patients according to gender, age, Hb and weigh levels. This study
included 100 patients diagnosed as a colonic cancer. The majority of patients were
male, 67 representing 67 % of respondents and only 33 were female representing
33%. Age distribution among patients demonstrates a majority of the age interval
(40-60) years representing 46 %. The association between serum iron and ferritin
was found to be significant with the level of Hb. In the distribution of study
population according to weight, the majority was shown in weight between (51-70)
kg representing 57 % of total respondents. Regarding correlation between serum
iron, ferritin and weigh, no significant was found to be observed.

Eyebrow reconstruction is very challenging especially in cases of large defects exceeding half of the eyebrow length. In such cases, hair grafting is the first choice in women, whereas hair-bearing flaps are used in male patients desiring a wider and fuller eyebrow. We report a case of a female in whom a superficial temporal artery island flap allowed one-stage eyebrow repair with a very good aesthetic outcome

Different forms of allogenous and autogenous bone grafts have been
studied for their potential use as bone substitutes. Although autogenous bone grafts is
a treatment alternative for bone regeneration and repair they have several
disadvantages like limitation of graft volume available, donor site morbidity and is
technique sensitive. Thus, use of other materials like processed bovine dentine and
Bone Xenograft (Bio-Oss) presents an alternative and a relatively simple technique
for bone regeneration and repair. The main aim of this study was to determine the
role of Processed Bovine Dentine and Bone Xenograft (Bio-Oss) in bone
regeneration and repair and to compare these two groups histlogically. A total of ten
healthy adult Albino male rats, aged 4 weeks weighing between 150 – 200gms were
used in the study. Three round surgical defects of approximately 1mm in diameter
were drilled in both the right and left femur. Processed bovine dentine was placed in
the right femur and Bio-Oss was placed in the left femur. Group I: - Processed
Bovine Dentine.Group II: - Bone Xenograft (Bio-Oss). Bio-Oss graft displayed
osteoconductive properties and the best bone formation with complete resorption and
organization of the grafted materials. Based on histological findings, though
Processed Bovine dentine displayed osteoconductive properties its effect on bone
formation was slower compared to that of Bio-Oss. The results of the present study
supports that the use of Processed Bovine Dentine seems to be an alternative bone
substitute, although less effective than Bone Xenograft (Bio-Oss).

The incidence of oral squamous cell carcinoma remains high in India due
to the social and cultural habit of tobacco, it accounts for about 5%of total cancer of
the body. Despite evolution in management,the overall survival of patients has not
been improved significantly during the past 20 years. Several clinicopathological
parameters have been implicated in the prognosis, recurrence and survival, following
oral cancer. This retrospective study aims at the study of clinicopathological
parameters including regional lymph nodes and distant metastasis and its correlation
with recurrence and death rates in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma. In this
retrospective study data collected from the registry of cancer ward, Victoria hospital
and Government dental college, Bangalore from 2007-2014(8 years) in total, 283
patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma were included. The clinical staging and
histopathological reports were analysed and chest X ray, MRI was used to assess the
distant metastasis and these findings were correlated with recurrence and death rates
of the patients.Statistical analysis was carried out using chi square test. Among 283
patients 159 were males (56.2%) and 124 were females (43.8%). Most of the
identified squamous cell carcinomas were T4 (42%) and N2 (40.6%). Recurrence was
identified in 40 patients, 85(30%) had regional nodal metastasis and 9 had distant
metastasis, and 40 patients died out of 283.Squamous cell carcinoma of the oral
cavity has a poor overall prognosis with a high tendency to recur at the primary site
and extend to involve the cervical lymph nodes.

Enhancing Competencies of Shipbuilding Employees in Bangladesh: Effect of Training and Development
Md Shahid Iqbal

Shipbuilding was once a flourishing trade along the coast of Bengal 400
years ago. Countries flocked to her shipyards to get the best wooden commercial
and military ships available at the time. However, with the advent of the industrial
revolution, the shipbuilders of Bengal lagged behind in the fabrication of the
primary new construction material that was sweeping the world, namely steel. As a
result of this lack of skill, Bengal rapidly lost her position amongst the great
shipbuilders in the world. Today, Bangladesh has resumed the process of inheriting
that lost heritage of shipbuilding. Being a young shipbuilding country of only 2
decades, Bangladesh has already started making ripples in the international
shipbuilding market by fetching handsome orders from as far away as Europe and
Africa. The prospects for future growth, based on industry analysis of the key
forecasting variables, can only be labelled as positive. However, a lack of skilled
shipbuilding personnel is hindering Bangladesh‟s chances in the global industry.
This policy paper has presented numerous recommendations spanning the provision
of „specialised training to foster the development of local human resource‟ to
„recruitment of foreign skilled personnel‟ as means for supplying the local demand
for skills. Additionally, joint industry action in areas such as training centres,
university course development and labour supply forecasting has been promoted.
