Option or necessity: Role of environmental education as transformative change agent.

There is a consensus around the importance of environmental education in mitigating the ill effects of environmental problems and preserving the natural environment and promoting green behaviours. The present paper studies the role of environmental education based on transformative learning theory. It intends to present and test a model proposal using sequential mediation analysis of several constructs as the Environmental Education Support (EES) and Volunteer Attitude (VA).

Blowing Your Own Trumpet: How to Increase the Online Visibility of Your Publication?

After seeing one's manuscript in the print form in a journal, the author feels a sense of elation which is indescribable. However, if one really want peers and other researchers to take note of the work, some more effort is needed. With the massive increase in the number of biomedical journals in print - supplemented by another large chunk online - quite a few published papers remain unread by majority of the readers.

Diagnostic role of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography in evaluation of obstructive biliopathies and correlating it with final diagnosis and clinical profile of patients.

Aims And Objective: We assessed the utility of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) as a noninvasive diagnostic tool in patients with obstructive biliopathies.

Materials And Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 54 patients with clinically suspected biliary obstruction. MRCP in these patients was compared and correlated with final diagnosis and their clinical profile.

Radiologic and pathologic correlation of aneurysmal bone cysts at unusual sites.

Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign solitary lesion. It usually occurs in the long bones but uncommonly in the calcaneum, mandible, femur and clavicle. Its frequency of occurrence in skull and mandible is 4%, clavicle and ribs is 5%, femur is 13% and foot is 3%.

Diagnostic and prognostic role of MRI in spinal trauma, its comparison and correlation with clinical profile and neurological outcome, according to ASIA impairment scale.

Aims And Objectives: To evaluate the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a non-invasive diagnostic tool in patients with acute and chronic spinal trauma and to compare and correlate the MRI findings with those of patients' clinical profile and neurological outcome according to ASIA impairment scale to assess prognostic and clinical value of MRI.

Materials And Methods: Sixty two patients of spinal trauma formed the study group in a prospective fashion. The patients undergoing MR imaging and magnetic resonance images were analyzed and correlated with findings on neurological examination according to American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) impairment scale (AIS) at the time of MRI examination and subsequently at sub-acute interval to assess neurological outcome.

Macrodystrophia lipomatosa: radiologic-pathologic correlation.

Macrodystrophia lipomatosa (MDL) is a rare cause of congenital macrodactyly, characterised by progressive proliferation of all mesenchymal elements, with disproportionate increase in fibro-adipose tissue. It occurs most frequently in lower limbs along the distribution of the medial plantar nerve. MDL presents as localised gigantism of the hand or foot and comes to clinical attention for cosmetic reasons, mechanical problems secondary to degenerative joint disease, or development of neurovascular compression.

Primary renal hydatidosis with associated macroscopic hydatiduria--a computed tomography urography diagnosis with pathological confirmation.

Primary renal hydatid disease which involves any other organ is extremely rare. Cystic rupture into the pelvicalyceal system, causing hydatiduria, is pathognomonic of renal hydatidosis, although it is usually microscopic and is seen in only 10-20% of renal hydatidosis cases. Gross hydaturia is uncommon but is present in the case discussed below.

Diagnostic dilemma in a neglected case of fetus-in-fetu solved with Magnetic Resonance Imaging and MDCT--a case report and review of literature.

Fetus-in-fetu (FIF) is a rare anomaly in which a vertebrate fetus is enclosed within the body of its twin in diamniotic monochorionic pregnancy. To the best of our knowledge, fewer than 100 cases have been reported in literature. Although a wide variety of presentations have been described in clinical reports, the characteristic features on MRI which distinguish FIF from teratoma have not been well delineated.
