Mnemonic:
- Larger the alphabets, larger the diameter (V>F>B)
- Diameters with “sub” prefix are smaller than counterpart without it.
Mnemonic: MTP (Medical Termination of Pregnancy) in increasing order.

Cause of radiation cystitis: Bladder in the radiation field (treatment of pelvic malignancies like prostate, cervical, colorectal) Epidemiology of radiation cystitis: Incidence: 23% to 80% (variability due to variability in type and dosing of radiotherapy among different medical subspecialities) Incidence of severe hematuria: 5-8% Mean duration for developing radiation cystitis:…
Anticipation in genetics refers to an increase in severity and decrease in age of onset in successive generations, most likely due to increased size of trinucleotide repeats. Paternal anticipation: Huntington’s disease, Friedreich’s Ataxia Maternal anticipation: Myotonic dystrophy, Fragile X syndrome Diseases Trinucleotide Repeat Affected gene Chromosome Fragile X syndrome CGG…
Very useful information
why is submentovertical diameter less than mentovertical
Because it is measured from a closer point to the back of the head.
Bcz it is made by God n we can not change it
submento is from the side of the chin to vertex.so that is why it is smaller than mento vertical.
Pic is informative, could have been more clear graphically
