Identifying the key hub genes linked with lung squamous cell carcinoma by examining the differentially expressed and survival genes.

Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma is characterised by significant alterations in RNA expression patterns, and a lack of early symptoms and diagnosis results in poor survival rates. Our study aimed to identify the hub genes involved in LUSC by differential expression analysis and their influence on overall survival rates in patients. Thus, identifying genes with the potential to serve as biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

Detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in a conjunctival swab sample in real-time-polymerase chain reaction positive COVID-19 patients and its association with comorbidity and severity at a designated COVID-19 hospital in Central India.

Purpose: To evaluate the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in the conjunctival swab sample of positive confirmed COVID-19 patients and to find out its association with comorbidity and severity of COVID-19 disease.

Methods: We conducted an observational cross-sectional study at a dedicated tertiary COVID-19 hospital in central India for a period of 8 weeks from February 2021to March 2021. We included patients who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 RNA through nasopharyngeal swab and were above 18 years of age.

Perception of teaching competencies by medical educators.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of an introductory educational planning workshop on perception of teaching competencies by medical educators. A questionnaire containing twenty-seven teaching competencies (TC) was administered before and after the workshop. The twenty-five participants, from four different countries, were asked to rate each TC regarding its importance for teachers and whether they possessed them or needed further training.
