Serum calcium and magnesium were studied in 200 leprosy patients and 25 apparently healthy individuals. Serum calcium was found to be significantly decreased in all types of leprosy except tuberculoid. The decrease in serum magnesium was highly significant in tuberculoid, lepromatous and borderline lepromatous cases.
All the 5 gastric arteries supplied both the surfaces of the stomachs except in one case, where short gastric arteries were absent on the ventral surface. The commonest pattern in the size of area distribution by different gastric arteries was seen in 31 cases (69%). Increase in the area of distribution by an artery was at the cost area of distribution by other arteries.

Subsegmental patterns in 85 human livers have been studied after preparing corrosion casts of the hepatic duct, hepatic artery and portal vein by injecting coloured butyl butyrate solution. A subsegment was identified by the independence of its vessels and ducts from those of its neighbours. In the present study nine hepatic subsegments have been observed: (1) posterior superior, (2) posterior inferior, (3) anterior superior, (4) anterior inferior, (5) medial superior, (6) medial inferior, (7) lateral superior, (8) lateral inferior, (9) caudate (the caudate lobe and process form a spearate subsegment on the basis of the pattern of their blood supply and biliary drainage). The sizes of the subsegments were very similar in 41 cases (48.23%). In the others, some increase or decrease in the size of one or more subsegments at the expense of neighbouring subsegments was observed. These variations are illustrated.
The variations in the talar articular facets on 401 normal Indian calcanei have been observed and classified. Type 1 calcanei have one continuous facet on the sustentaculum tali extending on the antero-medial corner of the distal part of the calcaneus (268 cases--67%). Type 2 calcanei have two articular facets, one on the sustentaculum tali, and another on the distal part of the calcaneus (104 cases--26%). Type 3 calcanei have a single well defined facet on the sustentaculum tali (21 cases--5%). Type 4 calcanei have a single facet on the sustenaculum tali extending on to the antero-medial corner of the distal part of the calcaneus, but this facet is continuous with the posterior talar facet of the calcaneus (8 cases--2%).
