“…The medial longitudinal arch (MLA) is the most prominent of all the foot arches, the height of which, when lowered, leads to flatfoot or pes planus. One of the most typical foot deformities, flatfoot, is characterized by medial rotation and plantar flexion of the talus, eversion of the calcaneus, collapsed medial longitudinal arch, and forefoot abduction (Ezema et al, 2014;Neeraj et al, 2020).…”

The foot arches in humans are the complex musculo-skeletal-ligamentous structure that helps in shock absorption because of the elasticity and provides stability while transmitting the muscle force for walking. Primarily we observed the prevalence of flatfoot among adolescents going to college. Thereafter we determined the correlation of flatfoot with the body mass index and gender of the adolescents being studied. Footprint analysis of undergraduate students was obtained based on Harris – the Beath mat principle. Clarke’s angle, Chippaux-Smirak index, and Staheli arch index were observed in the footprints. Subsequently, the correlation between the flatfoot, body mass index, and gender of the participants was assessed. The prevalence of flatfoot in college-going adolescents was 18.28% by footprint analysis, presenting a female predilection (20% of the footprint analysis) for the condition. The most valid and reliable plantar arch index for diagnosing flatfoot was the Staheli arch index, followed by the Chippaux-Smirak index having a moderate to strong correlation (R = 0.7, 0.95; p < 0.05). Only 1.1% of females and up to 2.2% of males were observed to have flatfoot and were obese. Eighteen out of a hundred (approximately one–fifth) adolescents in the studied group had flatfoot. The gender predilection for females was observed. Contradictory to the findings of the previous study, obesity was not observed as a foot arch-altering factor in adolescents.

Diabetic subjects have higher prevalence as well as increased risk for coronary artery disease than non-diabetic counterparts. The study was aimed to seek the disparity of vessel diameters among diabetic and non-diabetic patients undergoing quantitative coronary angiography (QCA). The objectives were to compare coronary artery measurements (CAM) between diabetic and non-diabetic patients and also to find the respective segment of coronary artery affected greatest among diabetics by QCA. A cross sectional study was conducted in four cities of India after procuring the sanction for the same from the ethical committee of the pre-selected hospitals of four states in India. Informed consents were obtained. Post CABG, post PCI patients and patient being diabetic for ≥5 years were also excluded from the study. Among total sample population, non-flow lim-iting coronaries were seen in 1100(27.5%) cases [167 in NFL diabetic and 933 in NFL non-diabetic group]. We had 2890 (72.2%) patients with diseased coronaries. Ten segments of the coronary arteries were taken for diameter measurements namely, LMCA, LAD (O, P), DIAG, LCx (O, P), OM, RCA (O, P), RAM. These coronary diameters were indexed to body surface area (BSA) (mean diameter mm/m 2 BSA). For all arterial segments both indexed and non-indexed measurements of diabetic patients with NFL coronaries had significantly (p<0.01) smaller arterial segments except for RCA-o. Reduced dimensions after post balloon dilatations of PCI, diffused lesions can result in increased chances for in-stent restenosis among diabetics leading to poor outcome following PCI.
