Introduction: Pharmacology is one of the most dynamic and evolving branches, not only in the concepts but also in teaching methodologies. Many attempts have been made by various colleges all over the world to make the teaching of pharmacology more interesting and relevant.
Materials And Methods: The literature from two databases (Google Scholar and PubMed) published between 2005 and 2020 were searched using terms related to "Teaching Techniques" AND "Pharmacology.
Background: Ethical conduct of research depends on the voluntary expression of consent and adequate disclosure of information about the research in informed consent documents (ICDs).
Objectives: The objective of this study was to analyze ICDs of academic studies for compliance with National Ethical Guidelines for Biomedical and Health Research laid down by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and to determine the readability of ICDs using the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level scale and Flesch reading-ease (FRE) score.
Methodology: ICDs of academic research projects submitted during 2020-22 were retrieved from the IEC office and analyzed for compliance with ICMR 2017 guidelines.
Article Synopsis
- Congenital spondylolisthesis is a condition in which there is a defect in the spine, often affecting children and characterized by varying degrees of spinal misalignment mostly at the L5-S1 region.
- A study analyzed 22 patients over three years, finding that most had high-grade listhesis and reported significant improvements in pain and disability after surgical intervention.
- The research concluded that while surgery is challenging, it can effectively alleviate symptoms, with non-reductive fixation being a viable option in certain cases to prevent complications during surgery.
Article Synopsis
- Pestalotiopsis is a plant pathogen that rarely causes human infections, but a case in India marks its first identification from a mycetoma patient.
- A 66-year-old male farmer showed symptoms of a swollen foot and multiple discharging sinuses after a twig prick injury.
- Laboratory findings included fragmented fungal elements and characteristic white to pale honey-colored colonies, and the patient was successfully treated with systemic Itraconazole.
Unlabelled: Intrasphenoidal encephalocoeles are acquired or congenital herniations of meninges and brain parenchyma through a structural sphenoid bone defect. Acquired causes are most common, either iatrogenic, post-traumatic, or spontaneous. However, defects in the lateral wall of the sphenoid sinus are uncommon and cephalocoeles through them relatively underexplored in current literature, warranting dedicated attention to unravel their complexities.
