To Evaluate Structured Competency-Based Curriculum for Health Programs among Community Medicine Postgraduates: Mixed Method Approach.

Background: The postgraduate curriculum needs to be given a definite shape so as to make health programs more intensive and integrative. In the present scenario, most of the information is unclear and infrequent. A structured public health competency-based education is an important aspect to consider for integrative health care.

Role of Hematological Parameters in the Early Diagnosis of Neonatal Sepsis.

The major cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity is bacterial sepsis. Blood culture is the most reliable method in neonatal sepsis. This study was conducted to study the usefulness of hematological parameters in the early diagnosis of neonatal sepsis and to assess the most sensitive and specific variables in diagnosing neonatal sepsis.

Isolated Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma of the Pyramidal Lobe: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

The pyramidal lobe (PL) represents an embryological remnant of the thyroglossal duct. A solitary focus of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) of the PL of thyroid gland is a rare entity. We present a case of a 33-year-old woman with PTC of the PL with lymph nodal involvement and further discuss the lines of surgical management for primary PTC arising from the PL of thyroid gland.

Pattern of suspicious deaths of married females brought for medico-legal autopsy at teaching institute of India.

Background: Death is unnatural and suspicious when it is caused by external causation like injury or poisoning or other than natural course. In such deaths of married females, the inquest is carried out, and a medico-legal autopsy is conducted to ascertain the cause of death and manner of death.

Materials And Methods: This record-based, retrospective study was carried out at RVRS Medical College, Rajasthan in the year 2021 (1 January, 2021 to 31 December, 2021) to know the pattern of the suspicious death of married females brought for medico-legal autopsy.

Assessment of the Number of Phlebotomists in a Newly Established Sample Collection Center.

Introduction: Phlebotomy, i.e., the collection of blood samples, is one of the most commonly performed procedures in almost all hospital settings.

Evaluation of Citrated Plasma After Thawing for Routine Coagulation Testing.

Objective: We aim to find the time in which a thawed citrate plasma sample that was preserved can be analyzed for routine coagulation testing without losing precision.

Methods: Whole blood samples from 30 healthy volunteers were collected in 3.2% sodium citrate vacutainer and centrifuged to separate platelet-poor plasma.

Correlation of Robinson's Cytological Grading with Elston and Ellis' Nottingham Modification of Bloom Richardson Score of Histopathology for Breast Carcinoma.

Invasive carcinoma of the breast is one of the leading causes of death in women. In developing countries, fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of the breast is used for preoperative diagnosis of breast cancer due to low cost. The grading system of breast carcinoma on FNAC is widely accepted.

Cytology of micropapillary mucinous carcinoma: A case report of a clinically and genetically distinct breast carcinoma variant.

Micropapillary mucinous carcinoma (MPMC) is an uncommon histopathological variant of breast cancer accounting for approximately one-fifth of all mucinous breast carcinomas. In contrast to pure mucinous carcinoma, MPMC tends to affect younger women and is associated with decreased progression-free survival, higher nuclear grade, lymphovascular invasion, lymph node metastasis, and positive HER2 status. Typically MPMC histology shows micropapillary architecture with "hobnailing" of cells and reverse polarity.

Correlation of Tumor Budding With Known Clinicopathological, Histomorphological and Hormonal Receptor Status in Patients With Invasive Breast Carcinoma.

: Tumor blossoming may be a predictive indicator for a variety of cancers. At the invasive origin of the tumor, cells get detached from the original tumor mass. : Studying breast cancer tumor budding, as well as its link to other prognostic indicators, such as clinicopathological features and hormone receptor status, will be the focus of this study.

Development and Evaluation of the POPBL (Patient-Oriented Problem-Based Learning) Module in Pathology: A Comparative Analysis of Performance and Perception Among Second-Year Pathology Students.

Background and objective Employing the POPBL (Patient-Oriented Problem-Based Learning) method to teach students offers a fresh take on the classroom experience. It helps to enhance the motivation of the students, improves knowledge, self-learning behavior, and clinical reasoning, and also helps to promote long-lasting memory. In our medical college, we adopted a newer technology-oriented method with the use of case history, laboratory findings, a gross specimen of the same case, microscopic live sessions via Deca and Penta head microscopes, television, and microscopic camera.

Blood Culture Contamination Rate as a Quality Indicator - a Prospective Observational Study.

Blood culture test is the gold standard test to diagnose bloodstream infections, but contamination is the main problem in this valuable test. False positive results in blood cultures are mainly due to contamination that occurs mostly during pre-analytical procedures like sample collection and sometimes during sample processing. Our prospective observational study was undertaken at St.

Utility of inquest and medico-legal autopsy in community deaths at tertiary care hospital of India.

Background: In India, inquest is carried out by police or magistrate depending upon the type of death and medico-legal autopsy is carried out by doctor. In some cases, inquest is sufficient to make out necessary information related to death and medico-legal autopsy can be avoided in such death, but medico-legal autopsy has its own value.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective record-based study was carried out at RVRS Medical College, Bhilwara, Rajasthan, regarding the correlation of inquest and medico-legal autopsy findings in community deaths which were brought dead to hospital in the year 2020.

Fine needle aspiration cytology of swellings of head and neck region.

Unlabelled: Head and neck mass lesions are frequently found in clinical practice. A spectrum of pathological lesions ranging from simple benign lesion to highly malignant manifestation is observed.

Objectives: To make clinicopathological correlation of head and neck lesions and to assess the frequency of incidences of different sites, age groups, sex, and distribution among inflammation and neoplastic lesion.
