We conducted this study to assess the prevalence of developmental delay, deformity and disability among 0-5 age group childrenn in Pattanakkad rural ICDS block, selected at random from among the ICDS blocks in Alappuzha District, Kerala, India. Of 12520 children upto 5 years in this block, there were a total of 311 children with developmental delay, deviation, deformity or disability giving a prevalence of 2.5 % (95 % CI, 2.22 to 2.77). The prevalence of developmental disabilities up to 2 years was 2.31 (95 % CI, 1.91 to .71) and from 2 to 5 years 2.62 % (95 % CI, 2.25 to 2.99). The prevalence obtained in the study has important policy implications for identifying childhood disabilities in the community.

Necrophagous blow flies are a commonly used forensic tool to estimate the minimum postmortem interval (PMI), where researchers collect development data under constant temperature regimes and construct models to estimate PMI. However, the ambient temperatures of real death scenes are often fluctuant, which limits the reliability of data obtained under constant temperature regimes. Here we investigate the possible differences in the development of Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius, 1794) (Diptera: Calliphoridae), an important species in forensic entomology.

Anomalous brachiocephalic vein (ABCV) is a rare entity of head and neck venous channel variations and malformations. Amongst the five subtypes of ABVC, double left brachiocephalic vein (DLBCV) is the rarest. We present the case of a 1-year-11-month-old syndromic child, who had global developmental delay (GDD) with Sprengel deformity and failure to thrive (suspected Klippel Feil phenotype), who presented to us for the cardiac evaluation.
