Perspectives and Performance of First-Year Medical and Dental Students in Anatomy Education Through Cadaveric Dissection: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction: Anatomical education serves as the cornerstone of medical and dental training, and cadaveric dissection is traditionally regarded as the gold standard for teaching human anatomy. This study explored the attitudes and perceptions of first-year Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) and Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) students toward cadaveric dissection and its impact on their academic performance and professional development.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in the Department of Anatomy.

Antibody Response to Covishield and Covaxin in Kidney Transplant Recipients.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic had a major impact on solid organ transplant recipients. COVID-19 vaccination plays a crucial role in pandemic management.There is limited data on replication-defective viral vectors [ChAdOx1-nCOV (COVISHIELD)] and whole inactivated one BBV-152 (COVAXIN) in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs).

Hypoxia-Inducible Factor Prolyl Hydroxylase Inhibitors for Treatment of Anemia in Chronic Kidney Disease: Guidelines for South Asia.

This guideline addresses the use of hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors (HIF-PHIs) in patients >18 years with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and anemia in South Asia (Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka). It also summarizes recommendations for anemia treatment for individual HIF-PHI molecules under two categories: dialysis-dependent and non-dialysis-dependent CKD patients. The recommendations do not apply to pediatric (≤12 years) and adolescent (12 to 18) patients or those with primary anemia or anemia secondary to other causes such as blood loss, cancer (any type), polycystic kidney disease and infectious diseases.

Design and TCAD analysis of few-layer graphene/ZnO nanowires heterojunction-based photodetector in UV spectral region.

Graphene and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires (NWs)-based photodetectors demonstrate excellent photodetection performance in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum regime. This paper presents the design and analysis of a heterostructure model of p-few-layer graphene (p-FLG)/n-ZnO NWs-based UV photodetector. The design utilizes the unique properties of few-layer graphene to enhance light absorption and improve photodetector performance.

Impact of Surgical Refusal on Overall Survival in Patients With Melanoma: A Comprehensive Analysis.

Background/aim: Surgery is the primary treatment for melanoma, but some patients refuse it, potentially affecting survival. This study examines demographic and clinical factors associated with surgery refusal to inform targeted interventions.

Patients And Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the National Cancer Database (NCDB) to analyze factors linked to surgery refusal in melanoma patients.
