In humans, spleen is one of the largest and single secondary lymphoid organ with high vascularity. The spleen develops from the mesoderm and during its development, different lobules are formed, which fuses with each other later on which is indicated in the form of the lobulations in adult spleen that can be seen on the superior as well as on the inferior borders. The study was done in the department of Anatomy of DM- Wayanad Institute of Medical Sciences, Meppadi, Kerala and Srinivas Institute of Medical Sciences, Mangalore, Karnataka. A total of 60 adult human cadaveric spleens were studied. Out of the 60 spleens observed, 57 (95%) spleen showed notches on the superior border, 2 (3.33%) spleen showed notches on the inferior border. 1 (1.67%) spleen did not show any nothes on both superior and inferior border. Splenomegaly is common in case of malaria, kalazar, typhoid, acute and chronic leukemias. In these common cases, the physician feels the notches of spleen on the superior border. It is essential for the surgeons and radiologists to become completely aware of anatomical variations that may help in accurate clinical diagnosis and treatment of the disease

Constraints in the marketing of flavoured milk in the cuddalore district of tamil nadu: a case studyJournal Area:ABSTRACT:
Even though India is the largest milk producer in the world, India should improve rural milk and milk products marketing infrastructure to attain sustainable economic empowerment of rural poor.In order to improve the marketing facilities for different milk products such as flavoured milk, a systematic study of constraints faced by farmers should be carefully analyzed. Hence this survey is planned to study constraints faced by the farmers in flavoured milk marketing. Cuddalore District of Tamil Nadu was randomly selected for the present study. Multistage random sampling technique was used to select the respondents. Relevant data were collected from the chosen respondents through personal interview using a pre-tested interview schedule.Garett's ranking technique was used to analyse the importance of the constraints in desi milk products marketing. The results of this study indicate that inadequate storage facility, unremunerative price and lack of organized marketing facility are three most important key constraints of flavoured milk marketing. Taking steps to remove these constraints would encourage more farmers to take up flavoured milk production to get additional income.
