Perception of peer teaching on learning anatomy: A qualitative study.

The aim of this study was to identify the effectiveness of peer-assisted learning while giving presentation on assigned anatomy topics in class by medical students for enhancement of their learning and communication skills. Sixty top performing students were selected for the study. They were given assigned topics related to anatomy to be presented in the class after taking their consent.

Platelet-rich Plasma-induced Inhibition of Chondrocyte Apoptosis Directly Affects Cartilage Thickness in Osteoarthritis.

The search for minimally invasive treatment of osteoarthritis has led to the development of biological options such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and bone marrow aspirate concentrates. This research was conducted to study the outcomes of PRP administration in the chemical-induced model of osteoarthritis in rat knee. Methods and results Two milligrams of monoiodoacetate (MIA) was used for the induction of arthritis in the right knee of 16 rats.

Effect of Platelet-rich Plasma on Mankin Scoring in Chemically-induced Animal Model of Osteoarthritis.
