With the advent of the multimedia and inclusion of computer assisted instruction in an anatomy course has permitted the acquisition of the course objectives in a reduced amount of time. Keeping this in mind a study was done in department of Anatomy of Subharti Medical College to assess the students on their ability to understand microanatomy when taught on microscope in comparison to teaching on computers.
The performance was also evaluated on basis of OSCA/OSCE in comparison to diagram making which is a conventional method of assessment. Results obtained were statistically evaluated and it was found that on one hand teaching should include both conventional method of teaching i.e. through microscope as well as through computers while on the other hand OSCA is definitely a better means of evaluation.

Introduction
Face is an entity that allow us to distinguish one person from another. It also permits distinctions between races, ethnic groups, sexes and even members of same family. Human face can be studied by means of natural science or more specifically by biological anthropology, which is scientific study of human biological characters. Many factors are responsible for the variation in the human's face viz hormonal, genetic heritage, sex environment and age. Aims and objectives This research was conducted in view of the importance of anthropometric indices of the face in plastic and cosmetic surgery, forensic medicine and other allied clinical sciences.
Material and methods
This cross-sectional study was set up to determine and compare the face shape in Jat Sikhs and Bania males of Indian Punjab origin (300 adult male Jat Sikhs and 300 adult male Banias). The total facial height&breadth of bizygomatic arch were measured and the facial index was calculated. Then these two endogamous groups were compared for these parameters.
Results
The dominant type of face shape in Jat Sikhs males was euryprosopic (39.94%) whereas hypereuryprosopic type of face was in dominance (44.51 %) in Bania males.
Conclusion
This study showed that ethnicity can affect the form of face in adult Indian Punjabi male Jat Sikhs and Banias.

Accurate knowledge of the maturity of the foetus influences management of antepartum care of a patient, planning of appropriate therapy or intervention, perinatal morbidity and mortality. Measurement of Biparietal diameter by ultrasound has proved to be a useful and accurate method for determining gestational age and maturity of the foetus. In the present study foetal Biparietal diameter was measured in 25 Garhwali women during normal pregnancy between 12-40 weeks of pregnancy and noted that the mean Biparietal diameter of cranium between 12-16 weeks of gestation was 29.74 ± 4.95 mm and it attained a maximum mean of 90.58 ± 2.68 at full term pregnancy (36-40 weeks). This study showed that the gestational age calculated from the regression equation for the Biparietal diameter correlates well with the actual gestational age, so biparietal diameter is a good parameter for assessing maturity of the foetus.Keywords
