Ectopic pancreas is an abnormal condition of embryological origin. The relationship of ectopic pancreatic tissue
associated with choledochal cyst is extremely rare condition. The most commonly reported cases of ectopic pancreatic
tissue are located in the upper GI (gastrointestinal) tract with most frequent site is stomach, followed by the duodenum
and the jejunum. The clinical implication of the presence of ectopic pancreas in the choledochal cyst is remain unclear
but it’s predicted risk for developing futher complications, especially pancreatic malignancy should always be
considered. Ectopic pancreatic tissue can be diagnosed at all ages, males are frequently associated but a higher incidence
of ectopic pancreas in the gallbladder is found in females and most incidence lies between the thirty to sixty years of life.
The purpose of the present case is to present the clinical, and histopathological features of ectopic pancreatic tissue
associated with choledochal cyst of 21 years old female. However, the basic concept of occurrence of ectopic pancreatic
tissue is contentious. To conclude, the ectopic pancreatic tissue associated with choledochal cyst may be an evidence of
its embryological association and it’s greater risk for development of further complications, especially development of
pancreatic malignancy. The present case should be considered for long term follow up as only doing cystectomy will not
provide full protection against the development of pancreatic malignancy.

Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is inflammation of the nasal cavity, and paranasal sinuses (PNS) persists for over three months. CRS can be differentiated into CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) or without (CRSsNP). Aim: to determine the allergic cause of sinonasal polyps using the radiological findings of multi-slice Non-contrast computed tomography of the paranasal sinuses (NCCT-PNS) and histopathology results. Materials and Methods: A total of 41 patients with sinonasal polyps were involved in this study. Multislice NCCT-PNS for each patient was taken in coronal sections. Radiological diagnoses were made. Surgical samples were taken after Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). Histopathological results were collected. Comparison between the NCCT-PNS and histopathology results was made. Statistical analysis was done using the SPSS program. Results: Out of 41 patients involved in this study, 14 males and 27 females. The mean age was 37.4146 ± 16.65. Polyps predominantly were affecting the nose and paranasal sinuses together (p<0.001). Polyps were predominantly bilateral (p<0.001). Sinonasal polyposis was the most commonly diagnosed (58.5%) on CT (p<0.001). Allergic polyps were the most common type of polyps (p=0.003). No significant relationship between gender and allergic or non-allergic causes of polyps (p=0.32, OR= 1.7, 95% CI 0.460-6.280). No significant relationship between gender and specific cause of polyps (p=0.779) except in fungal cause that is more in female. Conclusion: Allergic polyps are the most common type in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). CRSwNP affects female twice as male. Most cases of CRSwNP are bilateral and involve the nose and paranasal sinuses

Extraskeletal Myxoid Chondrosarcoma (EMC) is a rare soft tissue sarcoma of uncertain differentiation characterized by
abundant myxoid matrix located in the soft tissues. It affects mainly the soft tissues of the proximal end of long bones.
EMC has a male preference, and this occurs in soft tissue area in patients who are more than 40 years old. The present
case was 63 year old female with diagnostic findings on histopathological examination with immuno–histochemical
confirmation. EMC is a rare tumor should be considered in the differential diagnosis of myxoid soft tissue neoplasm.
Therefore, a multi-modal approach, having distinct clinical, cytological, histo-pathological, immunohistochemical
features and cytogenetics analysis, must be necessary in establishing a more definitive diagnosis, which may finally lead
to a more targeted and specific treatment for patients.

Distilled water is not supposed to contain > 5μg of chlorides and if it does, distillation is unsuccessful, and a repeat is
needed. The quantification of chlorides post purification of reagent grade water though serves to illustrate the success of
purification, has also been used in this study to illustrate nearness to success. A total of 50 registered Clinical Chemistry
Laboratories in Lagos Mainland of Lagos Nigeria were recruited in this cross sectional study, their reagent grade water
sampled and tested for chlorides using spectrophotometric technique. A questionnaire was also administered to ascertain
the Laboratories’ headship. In this study, significant amount of chloride was detected in all reagent water tested with
concentration range of 0.055mg/L - 38.760mg/L. Comparing the pathologists-headed laboratories with Scientists-headed
laboratories shows that there is no statistically significant difference in the outcome of water purification at 95%
confidence interval, p = 0.05, calculated t = 0.499, and critical value = 2.000. There is no significant influence on the
outcome of reagent water purification by the headship of Clinical Chemistry laboratories.

Chondrosarcoma usually arises in the pelvis, ribs or long bones but rarely may occur in the nasal septum. The nasal
septum chondrosarcoma may extend to skull base, paranasal sinuses or orbit which is usually observed during recurrence.
Radiological examination and histopathology plays an important role for its diagnosis and to assess the grade and
extension of the tumor. Moreover, the morphological differentiation of low grade chondrosarcoma from chondroma and
other tumors like metastatic renal cell carcinoma, chordoma may pose diagnostic challenge on histopathology. It is
therefore essential to vigilantly examine the histopathological sections for subtle features for definite diagnosis of
chondrosarcoma. The present case is therefore being reported of rare tumor of low grade chondrosarcoma of nasal
septum in young female extending to skull base at initial presentation. The case also highlights the importance of close
histomorphological examination of low grade chondrosarcoma to avoid diagnostic pitfalls and the importance of repeat
biopsy if clinico-radiological suspicion is strong and thus avoiding further complications.

Production and supply of pathogen and toxic chemical free water is the preliminary aim of water treatment. The natural
killing property of bacteriophages makes them the most prominent tool in eliminating unwanted bacteria, making them
ideal candidate in water treatment research. In this study phage formulations against multidrug resistant E. coli
KP005067 were fabricated by immobilizing them in broth, activated charcoal and alginate beads. The cross section of the
phage formulation was analysed using Confocal Raman Microscope and the disinfection study was carried out in batch
and packed bed reactor. The phage formulations remained stable for almost 4-8 and 3-5 months at 4oC and 30oC
respectively. The batch reduction study using phage connoted the order of host reduction as phage-charcoal > phagebroth > phage-bead. Further more, the disinfection study using packed bed reactor showed 100 and 97% host reduction
using phage-charcoal and phage-bead respectively. At the same time, there was concomitant increase in the phage
population in the packed bed-reactor indicating that the phage formulations are highly potent in killing bacterial pathogen
in water.

10.21276/sjodr.2019.4.1.7
Background: Identification of skeletal remains is of utmost importance in medico- legal investigations. Skeletal
components are often investigated for gender determination the skull and pelvis along with the mandible being a practical
element to analyze gender variation in the fragmented bones of a dense layer of compact bone makes it very durable and
well preserved than any other bone. When sex determination using skeleton is considered, metric analyses on the
radiographs are often found to be of superior value owing to their objectivity, accuracy and reproducibility. Aims And
Objectives: The following were the aims and objectives of our study:- 1) To measure the various morphometric
parameters of the mandible in digital panoramic radiographs, determine variations in the morphometric parameters of the
mandible, based on gender. 2) To correlate these findings in gender determination. 3) To find out which are the most
reliable parameters in gender determination. Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using
panoramic radiographs of 100 males and100 females, which were taken using Orthophos XG machine 64 KV, 8mA and
14.1 seconds). Twelve parameters such as maximum ramus breadth, minimum ramus breadth, condylar height, projective
height of ramus, coronoid height, height of mandible, superior margin of mental foramen to inferior border, inferior
margin of mental foramen to inferior border, superior margin of mental foramen to alveolar crest, gonial angle,
antegonial angle and antegonial depth were measured on both sides on digital panoramic radiographs .Measurements
were made using mouse driven methods and anatomical landmarks. Statistical analysis was done. Results: There was
significant difference in these parameters with p value < 0.05. Conclusion: This study shows strong evidence that
mandibular measurements using panoramic radiographs were reliable for gender determination and the projective height
of the ramus is the most significant of all the parameters, which may be used for gender determination using the
mandible.
