All three innominate elements, the ilium, ischium and pubis contribute to its formation unequally. The acetabular fossa articulates with the head of femur to form the hip joint.&#xD;
Objectives: To document the relationship between the depth and diameter of the acetabulum and to describe the anterior acetabular ridge morphology.&#xD;
Material and Methods: The study was conducted on 73 adult unpaired dry hipbones of unknown age and sex were assessed for two morphometric and one morphological character. The data of the acetabular depth and diameter was determined using Vernier calipers. The morphology of anterior acetabular ridge was evaluated and classified as curved, angular, straight and irregular.&#xD;
Results: The mean diameter of acetabular cavity on right side was found to be 48.3 &#xB1; 3.4mm and on the left side 48.9 &#xB1; 3.5mm. The mean depth on right side was measured to be 27.1 &#xB1; 3.4mm and on left side 27 &#xB1; 3mm.

&#xD;
Age, stature, gender and ethnicity form the corner stone&amp;#39;s of an individual&#x2019;s biological identity. The distinct morphology of the human hip bone not only helps attribute these parameters to establish a person&#x2019;s identity but is also fundamental from the orthopedic, anthropologic and forensic point of view 1.&#xD;
&#xD;
The acetabulum is a deep cup shaped, hemispherical depression on the outer surface of the hipbone. All three innominate elements that is the ilium, ischium and pubis contribute to its formation unequally 2. The central part of the acetabulum consists of the acetabular fossa surrounded by a curved articular lunate surface, which articulates with the head of femur to form the hip joint the major weight bearing joint of the body3.&#xD;
&#xD;
The shape of the acetabulum can be altered prenatally due to disruption in its development or during the postnatal period due to damage to the cartilage of lunate articular surface. Acetabular dysplasia is the most common developmental disorder of the hip bone, due to underdeveloped acetabulum, wherein acetabular roof remains shallow, superficial and vertically oriented.&#xA0; This results in smaller surface area for weight bearing and hence receives much larger force per unit area while walking and may lead to early degeneration which is the indication for hip arthroplasty4.&#xD;
&#xD;
The anthropometric study of the acetabulum aids radiologists in diagnosing congenital hip dysplasia, and orthopaedicians for planning for an acetabular surgery, during hip arthroplasty and in the treatment of hip fractures. &#xD;
&#xD;
This study would also be beneficial in understanding the pathophysiology of the hip pathologies such as femoroacetabular impingement and preparing prosthesis of desirable sizes5.&#xD;
&#xD;
The present study becomes all the more vital as acetabular dimensions show regional variations and the study is crucial to provide valuable parameters in the Indian population which would exterminate the catastrophic consequences of prosthetic loosening or dislocation6.&#xD;
&#xD;
The aim and objectives of the present study would be &#xD;
&#xD;
To document the acetabular depth and diameter&#xD;
&#xD;
To demonstrate the relationship between the two parameters&#xD;
&#xD;
To describe the morphology of the anterior acetabular ridge&#xD;
&#xD;
MATERIAL &#xA0;&#xA0;AND METHODS&#xD;
&#xD;
The study was conducted on 73 dry adult hip bones of unknown gender and age collected from Department of Anatomy bone bank, Ramaiah Medical College, Bangalore. Bones with gross damage or anomalies were excluded from the study. Vernier calliper was employed for the accurate measurements. &#xD;
&#xD;
&#xA0;Morphometric and Morphological features documented (Figure 1-4)&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
	&#xD;
	The transverse diameter of the acetabulum- The maximum distance between the anterior and posterior ends of the acetabular cavity.&#xD;
	&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
	&#xD;
	The vertical diameter of the acetabulum -The greatest dimension between the Upper and Lower Margins of the Acetabular Cavity.&#xD;
	&#xD;
	&#xD;
	The total acetabular diameter - the average of the transverse and vertical diameter.&#xD;
	&#xD;
	&#xD;
	The depth of the acetabulum - the maximum vertical distance from the deepest point in the acetabular cavity to the horizontal plane touching the margins of the acetabular cavity. A plastic ruler was kept across the margins of the acetabular cavity and the depth of the acetabulum was measured on the Vernier calliper from the deepest point in the acetabulum to the ruler. &#xD;
	&#xD;
	&#xD;
	The shape of the anterior acetabular ridge was classified as curved, angular, straight and irregular. (Fig 5)&#xD;
	&#xD;
	&#xD;
	&#xD;
	&#xD;
	&#xD;
	The relationship between the acetabular depth and diameter was also evaluated.&#xD;
	&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
RESULTS&#xD;
&#xD;
A comparison of 73 dry unpaired hip bones comprising 34 bones of left side and 39 bones of right side yielded the following results. Regarding the anterior acetabular ridge morphology, the commonest type was curved shape 31(41.10%), the least common was straight shape 4 (5.48%). (Table 1). &#xD;
&#xD;
&#xA0;The mean values for acetabular diameter on right side was found to be 48.3 &#xB1; 3.4mm and on the left side 48.9 &#xB1; 3.5mm. The mean values for acetabular depth on right side was measured to be 27.1 &#xB1; 3.4mm and on left side 27 &#xB1; 3mm. (Table 2, 3). The mean and standard deviation of total diameter and depth of acetabular cavity are shown and a significant positive co-relation was found between them.&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
DISCUSSION&#xD;
&#xD;
The acetabular morphology is very important for successful hip arthroplasty and for selecting a suitable prosthesis. The curved shaped acetabular ridges were found more frequently in our study. The comparison with other authors also showed same result. The percentage of irregular shape bones is significantly higher in the present study as compared to the study by Maruyama et al7.The percentage of bones with straight shape of anterior acetabular ridge is significantly lower as compared to the studies by Vyasa et al8, Prathiba et al9 and AKSU et al 10( Table 4). &#xA0;&#xD;
&#xD;
The findings of measurements of Total Acetabular diameter and Depth of acetabular cavity in the present study are consistent with other studies. (Table 5)&#xD;
&#xD;
The knowledge of acetabular dimensions will help us in understanding the acetabular pathology and also in identifying disputed person through forensic expertise13. &#xD;
&#xD;
The differences observed between the values of present study and that of other studies could be attributed to ethnic and racial variations.&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
However, it should be kept in mind, that the present study employed smaller number of hip bones, so it is worthwhile to perform similar studies on more number of hip bones for its theoretical and practical value in the coming years.&#xD;
&#xD;
CONCLUSION&#xD;
&#xD;
The findings of our study are vital for the accurate design of side specific prosthetic cups that replicate the curvaceous acetabular profile which would prevent prosthetic overlap, mechanical loosening and reduce the incidence of ilio-psoas impingement. The precise &#xA0;&#xA0;knowledge about the variations in morphology and morphometry of acetabular cavity would help clinicians, orthopedic surgeons, prosthetic surgeons and radiologists for better understanding about the pathologies of hip region which aids&#xA0; in accurate diagnosis and in planning a &#xA0;suitable treatment.&#xD;

&#xD;
Infective and Inflammatory pathology of Lacrimal sac which is located between the medial canthus of the eye and nose is called as Dacryocystitis. It is an important cause of ocular morbidity in India[1]. It can involve both sides. The Lacrimal drainage system consists of the opening known as puncta(Upper and lower) which continuous as upper and lower canaliculus, which in turn opens into the lacrimal sac via the common canaliculus. Lacrimal sac continues down to become the nasolacrimal duct which opens into inferior nasal meatus. &#xD;
&#xD;
Obstruction anywhere along the lacrimal passage leads to Epiphora. Obstruction of the drainage of tears can be classified into functional and anatomical. Along the lacrimal drainage pathway anatomical obstruction can occur at any point, which can be either congenital or acquired. The acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction is of two types: Primary or Secondary. Primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction is an obstruction caused by mucosal inflammation of unknown etiology that eventually leads to fibrosis. Secondary acquired lacrimal drainage obstruction may result from a wide variety of infections, allergies, inflammatory, neoplastic, traumatic or mechanical causes[2]. Acquired Dacryocystitis can be acute, subacute or chronic[3]. &#xD;
&#xD;
Chronic Dacryocystitis is commonly encountered by an ophthalmologist accounting for 87.1% of Epiphora, which causes social embarrassment due to chronic watering from eyes [4-5]. It commonly affects females over 40 years of age with peak incidence in 60 to 70 years [6]. It is more common in Whites than in Negros and more common in India as being tropical country. It has higher incidence among people of lower socioeconomic status [6].&#xD;
&#xD;
Occupational history is important where in the people working in factories with lot of smoke, fumes and irritants are there and proper protective measures are not there. In rural India one of the most common modes of cooking, boiling water in bath room is still firewood / Chullah and the female population is exposed to the fumes and the irritants of the charcoal.&#xD;
&#xD;
Studies done on the epidemiological factors contributing to Dacryocystitis in Indian population are few[2,7]. Most of the people consider watering from eyes as minor discomfort and avoid themselves from presenting to ophthalmologist as they are unaware of the deleterious complications. Early diagnosis and treatment is always warranted to avoid complications and need for surgical intervention[7]. The goal of the present study was to find the occurrence of chronic Dacryocystitis in rural area and to correlate it with socioeconomic status. &#xD;
&#xD;
Material and Methods &#xD;
&#xD;
Our study is a cross-sectional hospital based study conducted from January 2019 to December 2019 in MVJ Medical College and Research Hospital, Hoskote. Informed consent was taken.&#xD;
&#xD;
Inclusion criteria:&#xD;
&#xD;
All patients complaining of watering or discharge in the eyes who were diagnosed for primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction or Chronic Dacryocystitis were included in the study. &#xD;
&#xD;
Exclusion criteria:&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
	&#xD;
	Patients below 20 years of age.&#xD;
	&#xD;
	&#xD;
	Patients who had undergone any surgical intervention in the past like Dacryocystorhinostomy, and Congenital Dacryocystitis. &#xD;
	&#xD;
	&#xD;
	Patients with Acute Dacryocystitis.&#xD;
	&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
The patients presenting to outpatient department of Ophthalmology belonging to inclusion criteria were interrogated for the following details after taking the informed consent.&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
	&#xD;
	Demographic profile (Name, Age, Sex, Occupation and Address) --All the patients falling under our inclusion criteria were enrolled for the study. Their name, age, sex, residence and occupation were recorded. &#xD;
	&#xD;
	&#xD;
	Socioeconomic status according to Revised Modified B.G. Prasad&#x2019;s classification update 2019[8] (Table 1).&#xD;
	&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
The advantage with Prasad&amp;#39;s classification is that it takes into consideration only the income as a variable and it is simple to calculate. This can be applied to assess the socioeconomic status in both rural and urban areas. &#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
	&#xD;
	Chief Complaints, medical history, treatment history and surgical history were recorded. &#xD;
	&#xD;
	&#xD;
	Thorough detailed examination of eyes and ocular adnexa was performed using diffuse torch light and slit lamp. &#xD;
	&#xD;
	&#xD;
	Regurgitation test and Sac syringing &#xD;
	&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
Regurgitation Test: It is done by applying pressure over the lacrimal sac area with either thumb or index finger and observing the puncta. In chronic Dacryocystitis the contents of the sac shall regurgitate through the lower or upper punctum or both. In chronic Dacryocystitis due to pump failure, the contents of the sac shall empty in the nose. In chronic Dacryocystitis with encysted mucocele, there is no regurgitation of the contents. &#xD;
&#xD;
Sac Syringing: Local anaesthic eye drops is instilled into the eye before performing the procedure. Patient is asked to look up; lower eyelid is pulled down gently to visualize the punctum. A saline filled 2ml syringe attached with a canula is introduced into the lower punctum. The saline is gently pushed through the punctum. Nasolacrimal passage is open if the patient perceives salty taste. In case of block in pathway saline regurgitates either from the same or both punctum.&#xD;
&#xD;
All the details were collected prospectively and analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Software and conclusion was derived based on observations.&#xD;
&#xD;
Results &#xD;
&#xD;
Table 2 presents Age distribution of Chronic Dacryocystitis. It is observed that the Chronic Dacryocystitis was seen in all age groups, majority in 61-70 years (26.4%) followed by 41 -50 years (22.6%) and 51-60 years (20.8%). &#xD;
&#xD;
In our study, Chronic Dacryocystitis affected more in females. There were 28 females (52.8%) and 25 males (47.2%) as shown in Table 3.&#xA0; &#xD;
&#xD;
Table 4 presents the Laterality of Dacryocystitis. It is observed that out of 53 patients the highest incidence of Chronic Dacryocystitis was seen on right side eye i.e. in 24 patients (43.3%), bilaterally in 16 patients (30.2%) and left side eye in 13 patients (24.5%). &#xD;
&#xD;
Table 5 presents the Occupation and Socioeconomic status of the study population. It is observed that High Incidence of Chronic Dacryocystitis was seen in patients who belonged to class III &amp; V as per the Classification. It is observed more in House wives and wage laborer followed by farmers.&#xD;
&#xD;
Table 6 presents the Symptoms of Chronic Dacryocystitis. It was observed that Epiphora (64.2%) was the leading presenting symptom in Chronic Dacryocystitis. &#xD;
&#xD;
Discussion &#xD;
&#xD;
Chronic Dacryocystitis is a common problem of lacrimal drainage system, treated efficiently in recent years with advances in investigative operational technique pertaining to solve the problems associated with it[2]. Epiphora is the most annoying symptom in about 64% cases, followed by discharge (20.8%) and swelling (15.1%). Our study consisted of 53 patients of Chronic Dacryocystitis who presented at our institute during the month of January 2019 to December 2019.&#xD;
&#xD;
Patients of Chronic Dacryocystitis were studied with respect to their age, sex, occupation and socioeconomic status. The following observations were noted. &#xD;
&#xD;
&#xA0;Our results showed 45.3% of the patients belonged to seventh decade of life that is between 61- 70 years of age, which is similar to Surendra P W et al[7] study.&#xD;
&#xD;
Whereas in Jacobs BH et al [4] Study, the maximum incidence was seen in between the age of 40-55 years, Sarda et al [9] noted maximum incidence in the third and fourth decade. Saxena R.C et al [10] and Duke Elder S [11] stated maximum incidence in the fourth decade. &#xD;
&#xD;
In our study, the incidence of Chronic Dacryocystitis was more commonly noted in the females (52.8%), which was similar to Dalgleish R et al[12]. Higher incidence of 61.6%, 67.86% and 84.6% were noted in Payal Katre et al[2], Surendra P et al[7] and Saxena R C et al [10] respectively.&#xD;
&#xD;
The possible reasons for females to be more affected are due to changes in the mucus membrane of the lacrimal apparatus secondary to menopause suggested by Pico et al[13], higher vascular congestive factor and a narrower bony nasolacrimal canal was suggested by Meller[14]. According to Ramamani et al[15] Kitchen droplet fumes and cosmetic lining of eye lid &amp; margin might contribute to the possible female predilection.&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0; In our study of 53 cases, 15 cases (28.3%) were left sided obstruction and 38 cases (71.7 %) were right side obstruction. This is in accordance to the studies done by Reddy et al[16], Jacob et al [2], Pandya et a [17] and Ramamani et al[15]. Unilateral incidence is due to the anatomical narrowing of one side of the nasolacrimal duct making it more prone for obstruction compared to the normal or more spacious contralateral nasolacrimal duct[15].&#xD;
&#xD;
In our study, epiphora was the commonest presenting symptom in 34 patients (64.2%) followed by the symptom of discharge in 11 patients (20.8%) and swelling near the medial canthus in only 8 patients (15.1%). Zilelioglu G et al [18] reported the incidence of epiphora in 86% and discharge in 3% cases.&#xD;
&#xD;
The prevalence of Dacryocystitis is also determined by socioeconomic status to correlate its impact on quality of life of living standard. In our study, people belonging to class III &amp; V were affected more, similar to Surendra et al [7]. This can be attributed to poor hygienic conditions and low living standards.&#xD;
&#xD;
Conclusion &#xD;
&#xD;
This paper presents the Epidemiology of Chronic Dacryocystitis. The authors have studied the correlation of Chronic Dacryocystitis with Low Socioeconomic status using modified B.G Prasad socioeconomic classification update 2019. It was observed that Chronic Dacryocystitis was commonly seen in 7th decade. Epiphora was the most common clinical presentation, preponderance in females. The study included more of patients belonging to Socio economic status of Class III &amp; V. To solve the enigma of Chronic Dacryocystitis in the people of low socioeconomic group with poor hygiene and low standard of living in rural area, awareness should be created.&#xD;

Through core needle biopsy,the patient was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma of left breast.Allsentinel lymph node of breast was sent to pathology and it revealed that the node is involved.Simultaneously, partial mastectomywas donefor patient, and then axillary lymph node dissection has been done; six lymph nodes were removed and sent to the lab.&#xD;
Discussion: A comorbid manifestation of breast and bladder carcinomas is rare, little similar case has been published so far. Synchronous primary cancers have rarely been reported, but it is believed that the incidence is rising. Prevention, making an early diagnosis and the treatment of multiple cancers will become even more important in the future.&#xD;
Conclusion: It is important to present this case because of many literature have been reported cases of bladder metastasis of the breast, but we presents a concurrent primary breast and bladder cancer report.&#xD;

	Introduction&#xD;
	&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
The incidence of breast cancer in the early stages concurrent with the primary bladder tumor has rarely occurred in the literature and research papers. Bladder cancer has the highest prevalence rate among the urologic cancers1,2. Breast cancer is the most common malignant disease affecting women, after non-melanoma skin cancers, and the second reason for cause of death for cancer in women, mainly due to metastatic spread3,4. Common areas for breast cancer metastatic are lung, bone, liver, lymph nodes, and skin but rarely spreads to other sites, such as urinary bladder and retroperitoneum4. For the first time, Avicenna, Iranian (Persian-Muslim) philosopher and physician, reported primary multiple tumors (PMTs) as a case with bilateral mammary glands malignancies5 . Billroth et al. described the phenomenon of multiple primary malignancies (MPC) in a single individual, in the late 19th century6. Warren and Gates&amp;#39;s criteria define the necessary condition which tumors must fulfill to be included in the MPCs. The criteria consist of: each tumor should belong to a specific malignancy and they should not be the result of metastasis from another tumor7. MPCs are categorized to either metachronous and synchronous, which the second one is rather rare8. Concurrent association of two primary malignancies or appearance of the second one within 6 months would be called synchronous cancer9. Among many cancers, bladder cancer has the highest incidence rate among the urologic cancers8.&#xA0; We describe here an extremely rare case of synchronous double primary cancer involving the bladder and breast. Therefore, we report a remarkable case of completely synchronous primary bladder and breast cancer.&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
	&#xD;
	Case Reports:&#xD;
	&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
A 59-year-old female patient presented to our urology department in Milad General Hospital, a part of Iran Social Security Organization, with the complaint of pain and hematuria. In urine analysis, RBC was found to be 25-30 units with trace protein, hyaline casts, and pus. There was no relevant family history for all type of cancers. Clinical examination was normal. The patient had no history of tobacco using and any other cancer in the past.&#xD;
&#xD;
In the CT scan, tumor mass was confined to the bladder, and there was no lymphadenopathy in the pelvic (Figure. 1). The patient underwent transurethral resection (TUR). TUR results showed well differentiated adenocarcinoma (Figure 2.A) and no thickness of invasionwas reported in pathology comments.Inimmunohistochemistry staining, which its findingswere consistent that CK7, GATA3, ER, PR, HER-2, CD15, CA125, B-Catenin, and Vimentin were negative; CDX2 (Figure 2.B), CK20,and EMA were positive (Figure 2.C).&#xD;

The microphotograph showed well differentiated adenocarcinoma with bladder origin.&#xD;
&#xD;
In checking of primary origin and for excluding metastatic bladder adenocarcinoma of gastrointestinal origin, after colonoscopy and endoscopy was conducted, so results confirmed that the malignancy didn&amp;#39;t in gastrointestinal (GI) origin.(Figures3A and 3B).&#xD;

&#xD;
Through core needle biopsy, the patient was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma of left breast. All sentinel lymph node of breast was sent to pathology and it revealed that the node is involved. Simultaneously, partial mastectomy was done for patient, and then axillary lymph node dissection has been done, six lymph nodes were removed and sent to the lab. According to laboratory reports, one of the nodes was involved and the tumor size was 2.5 &#xD7;2&#xD7;2 cm (T2).The TNM stage of breast tumor determined as pT2N1M0 (stage IIIA). That axillary lymph node was sent to the lab for immunohistochemistry examination. As a results of IHC tests; ER (Figure 5.B), PR were positives, and HER-2 was(+2) but the result of FISH test was negative. Ki67 was positive in 5% of cells&#xD;

&#xD;
Finally, the patient was returned to urology department and partial cystectomy was done for her. Microscopic findings supported that she had well-differentiated adenocarcinoma and tumor was invaded to serosal layer and peripheral fat but all margins were free and no lymphadenopathy was performed.TNM stage of the bladder tumor was pT3NxM.&#xD;
&#xD;
Tumor marker tests indicated serum levels of CA15-3, CA125-ECL, CEA-ECL AFP- Tumor marker ,and Beta HCG which they were respectively 39.4 U/ml (High Level), 5.6 U/ml, 1.8 ng/ml, 4.5 IU/ml ,and </Fulltext><FulltextLanguage>English</FulltextLanguage><URLs><Abstract>http://ijcrr.com/abstract.php?article_id=2681</Abstract><Fulltext>http://ijcrr.com/article_html.php?did=2681</Fulltext></URLs><References>1.&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0; Mydlo JH, Gerstein M.

	Introduction: The use of computer programming is spread into schools worldwide in the 70s and 80s of the last centuries, but it disappeared from the educational landscape in the early 90s. With the development of visual programming languages such this movement has emerged again in recent years, as parents, at all educational levels and from different disciplines consider that the use of programming enhances learning in many subjects and allows students to develop important skills.&#xD;
	Objectives/Aim: The present investigation is taken up with aim to assess the opinion of parent&#x2019;s on introducing coding at school level in Ranga Reddy District.&#xD;
	Method: This investigation is employed by descriptive survey method.&#xD;
	Sample: Sample size of 100 drawn through simple random sampling.&#xD;
	Tool: A researcher developed tool was employed to gather data to study. This tool consists of 40 statements, where respondents are instructed to opt any options from Yes, Can&#x2019;t Say and No. Data analysis is done by using Descriptive including percentages, Mean &amp; SD and inferential statistics including t-test and ANOVA were used.&#xD;
	Discussion: The study findings revealed that the majority of the responses (77.65%) unveils positive opinions of on introducing coding at school level in Ranga Reddy District. Conclusion: There is a significant difference in opinion of parent&#x2019;s on introducing coding at school level with regard to gender i.e., male and female of Ranga Reddy District.&#xD;
