Comparative Analysis of Impact of Different Skill-training Methods among Medical Students: A Cross-sectional Study.

Background: The development of practical skills is crucial in medical education, with various teaching-learning (T/L) methods such as Demonstration-Observation-Assistance-Performance (DOAP), Peyton's four-step approach, and See One Do One Teach One (SO-DO-TO) being employed to enhance students' competencies in handling medical devices.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of DOAP, Peyton's approach and SO-DO-TO methods on skill performance of 1-year MBBS students in using a sphygmomanometer, audiometer, and electrocardiogram (ECG).

Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 126 1-year MBBS students, who were randomly divided into three groups ( = 42).

David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian: Pioneers in Sensory Biology and Neuroscience.

Sensory biology is a critical area within neuroscience, exploring how organisms respond to environmental stimuli such as temperature, pain, and mechanical forces. David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian have made landmark contributions to this field by identifying crucial receptors. Julius's discovery of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, including transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1), which detects heat and pain, revolutionized sensory biology and opened new paths for pain management.

The Influence of Obesity on Cognitive Functioning Among Healthcare Professionals: A Comprehensive Analysis.

Background Excessive body fat, or obesity, is a worldwide epidemic and a major contributor to the development of dementia. Aim The research aimed to determine how obesity affected healthcare professionals' memory performance. Materials and Method A total of 474 participants (both male and female) were recruited in this study by random sampling method from three different health institutions.

Effect of COVID-19 Vaccination on Menstrual Cycle Patterns of Reproductive-age Women: A Multi-centric Observational Study.

Aim: The study was conducted to know the impact of COVID-19 vaccination on menstrual cycle patterns and pre- and post-menstrual symptoms in women aged 18-45 years.

Background: COVID-19 vaccination was introduced to combat the dreadful impacts of human coronavirus infection. The two indigenously developed COVID-19 vaccines approved for use in India are COVISHIELD and COVAXIN.

Effectiveness of yoga on Ewing's battery autonomic function test: cross-sectional study.

Introduction: The cardiovascular autonomic functions can be tested by a Battery of five tests developed by Ewing and Clark in 1981 in Edinburgh. Yogic practices are immensely useful for physical, mental and spiritual development required for better autonomic function.

Aim And Objectives: To assess the ANS (Autonomic function system) function with help of Ewing's Battery tests in yoga participants and healthy participants not practicing yoga.

Effect of COVID-19 on Stress and Biomarkers: An Exploratory Cross-Sectional Study.

Background Anxiety and stress in COVID-19 lead to continual pro-inflammatory cytokine activity resulting in excessive inflammation. Levels of different bio indices of COVID-19 may predict clinical outcomes and the severity of COVID-19 disease and may correlate with anxiety and stress levels. Objectives To measure the level of anxiety in COVID-19 patients using the coronavirus anxiety scale (CAS) as an assessment of psychological stress.

A Review on Autonomic Functional Assessment in Diabetic Patients.

In today's world, science has progressed significantly, yet most people are still unaware of diabetes. Lack of obesity, physical work, and lifestyle changes are the main factors. Diabetes is becoming more common all around the globe.

A review on cultural competency in medical education.

Cultural competency is a wide notion with a variety of academic bases and differing perspectives on how it should be implemented. While it is widely acknowledged that cultural competency should be an element of general practise, there is a paucity of literature in this area. It has been commonly claimed that cultural competency is a fundamental prerequisite for working well with persons from different cultural backgrounds.
