Perception of First-Year MBBS Students Toward Virtual Dissection in Learning Anatomy: A Comparative Study Between High and Low Academic Achievers.

Introduction Anatomy, as a crucial subject in the medical curriculum, demands continuous efforts to adopt innovative teaching methods to make it a student-friendly subject. One of the new educational technologies is the virtual anatomy dissection. This high-tech tool allows students to perform some hands-on manipulation of a digital cadaver through an electronic screen in the form of a table.

Microalgae-microplastics interactions at environmentally relevant concentrations: Implications toward ecology, bioeconomy, and UN SDGs.

Microplastics (MPs) are one of the emerging pollutants, causing potential harm to aquatic ecosystems and serious concern in achieving UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Realizing the occurrence of varying concentrations of MPs in the environment, this investigation presents multi-dimensional insights into the ecological and bioeconomic implications at environmentally relevant concentrations. We pursued a multi-step approach to gain a comprehensive understanding on the effects of microalgae‒MPs interactions and their expansive implications toward SDGs.

Assessing Medical Students' Perspectives on Organ Donation: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background Organ donation is a community service that not only saves lives but also improves the quality of life. The major concerns causing organ shortage in the country are the lack of awareness and correct knowledge among the public and myths and misconceptions clouding organ donation because of religious and cultural barriers. Material and methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 300 medical students of a private medical college in the Telangana region, India, from July 2019 to October 2019 after approval from the Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC).

A study on anticancer and antioxidant ability of selected brown algae biomass yielded polysaccharide and their chemical and structural properties analysis by FT-IR and NMR analyses.

The study was conducted to determine the chemical and structural properties of polysaccharides extracted from the marine macroalgae Nemalion cari-cariense. Furthermore, evaluate the anticancer and free radical scavenging activity of purified N. cari-cariense polysaccharide.

Synthesis and characterization of Pyrus communis fruit extract synthesized ZnO NPs and assessed their anti-diabetic and anti-microbial potential.

The fruit Pyrus communis, owing to its presence of phenolics and flavonoids, was chosen for its nanoparticle's reducing and stabilizing properties. Furthermore, the zinc metal may be nano-absorbed by the human body. As a result, the study involves synthesizing zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) from P.
