Introduction: The upper nasolabial angle (UNLA) is an important determinant in clinical diagnosis and treatment planning. Therefore, the primary objective of this study was to assess the correlation between various skeletal parameters and nasal morphology in an Indian cohort, particularly UNLA. The secondary objectives were to evaluate sex differences in nasal morphology, optimal cut-off values of the UNLA for skeletal malocclusions, and differences in nasal morphology in different skeletal malocclusions.Materials and methods: This retrospective study used 162 pre-treatment lateral cephalometric records of patients with skeletal Class I, Class II, and Class III relationships. Group 1 consisted of 68 skeletal Class I patients (ANB angle of 2-40), Group 2 consisted of 68 skeletal Class II patients (ANB angle > 40), and Group 3 consisted of 26 skeletal Class III patients (ANB angle of less than 20). Each group was further subdivided according to the growth pattern into low (horizontal), average, and high (vertical) growers. The angle between the sella-nasion plane and mandibular plane (SN-GoGn angle) was used to further divide the groups according to their growth pattern into a horizontal growth pattern (SN-GoGn angle 360). The study sample was also divided into males and females to assess gender differences. Spearman’s correlation coefficient, multinomial logistic regression analysis, Mann-Whitney U test, and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to obtain the optimal cut-off values for UNLA.Results: The UNLA showed a positive correlation with the sagittal position of the maxilla and a negative correlation with the sagittal position of the mandible and palatal plane (PP) inclination angle. Statistically significant sex differences were observed in nasal length, nasal depth, and lower anterior facial height. The optimal cut-off values for the UNLA angle in the class II skeletal pattern were ≥ 200, 16-200 for skeletal class I, and ≤ 160 for skeletal class III patients. None of the skeletal and nasal parameters were reliable predictors of the skeletal pattern type.Conclusion: The present study showed that the UNLA increased in the skeletal class II pattern with the downward inclination of the PP. Patients with skeletal class III malocclusion had an upward-canted nasal tip.

The agriculture and allied sectors contribute 27 per cent to Rajasthan's gross domestic state product. Its share in India's millet production is about 26 per cent. Bajra and jowar are the main millet crops grown in the state. With over 41 per cent share,

Both truck drivers died on the spot, however, the dead body of one driver is still trapped in the truck, as per information from the police.

Ber fruit is highly perishable, with a storage life of only 3–5 days under ambient conditions, which makes it difficult to transport the fruit even to domestic markets. An experiment was conducted to study the effect of postharvest treatment with sodium nitroprusside (50, 100 and 150 µM) on the storage life, quality attributes, bioactive composition and antioxidant enzyme contents of ‘Umran' ber fruit. The treated fruit were stored for 28 days to investigate the effects of sodium nitroprusside after 7 days of cold storage at 7.5°C and 90–95% RH. It was found that fruit treated with 100 μM sodium nitroprusside experienced lower fruit weight loss and spoilage, maintained fruit firmness, and had a higher sensory quality, phenolic content, carotenoid content, soluble solids content, sugar content, ascorbic acid and antioxidant activity than the control. Furthermore, the activities of the cell wall degrading enzymes polygalacturonase, polyphenol oxidase, pectin methyl esterase and catalase were lower, while the activities of superoxide dismutase and peroxidase enzymes were higher in the treated fruit. Therefore, treatment with 100 μM sodium nitroprusside shows high potential for improving the storage life and maintaining the quality attributes of ber fruit for up to 21 days under cold storage.
