PURPOSE: To find out relationship between Macular thickness and Myopia. Methods: A total of 250 myopic eyes were analyzed. Macular thickness in different quadrants were measured with OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) and compared between the two diagnostic groups. Simple Linear Regression analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship between degree of myopia and Macular thickness in different quadrants. RESULT: Macular Thickness of Fovea is more in group A (Low myopia group) in comparison to group B (High myopia group). In Superior Outer, Temporal Outer, Nasal Outer, Superior Inner, Temporal Inner, Inferior Inner and Nasal Inner quadrants macular thickness is more in group A in comparison to group B. Only in Inferior Outer quadrant macular thickness is lower in group A then group B. Conclusion: Our study demonstrate that increasing myopia is associated with reduced macular thickness and refraction is important ocular biometric determinants of macular thickness.

Growth of whole body is an integrated & composite process. Pregnancy is one of the most critical and unique period in a women's life. The aim of present study is to determine the factors which are associated with size and proper maturity at birth in a chart if term infants to investigate their growth & development and find out the relationship between the infants anthropometric parameters and maternal parameters. MATERIAL AND METHODS: present study was conducted on 200 newborns, out of which 100 were of normal birth weight and 100 were of low birth weight. Measured parameters of infants were Head and Chest circumference, Birth weight, Head length ratio, Ponderal Index, and Gestational age. Maternal parameters were age of mother, number of antenatal visits, weight gain from 20 weeks to late pregnancy, haemoglobin and height of mother. Results: observation shows that except age of mother, height of mother and head length ratio all parameters are significantly related.
