Perception of Current and Future Commitment of Medical Teachers to the Varied Roles of a Teacher: An Observational Study.

Background Medical education is gradually moving towards self-directed learning, thus the roles of a teacher have assumed wider dimensions than before. The awareness of these roles among medical teachers has been studied in several countries, but no study on the awareness of these roles among Indian medical faculty has been found. The aim of this research was to assess the current and future commitment perception of the roles of a teacher among Indian medical faculty.

Analysis of application of digital image analysis in histopathology quality control.

Introduction: A correct histopathological diagnosis is dependent on an array of technical variables. The quality and completeness of a histological section on a slide is extremely prudent for correct interpretation. However, this is mostly done manually and depends largely on the expertise of histotechnician.

A Rare Case of Concurrent Ovarian Lesions: Ovarian Fibroma and Serous Cystadenoma in Contralateral Ovaries.

Ovarian stroma and surface epithelium develop from two different embryological primordia and give rise to tumors of distinct characteristics. The simultaneous presence of two kinds of ovarian tumors in one patient is rare. Concurrent presence of a large ovarian fibroma in one ovary, and a serous cystadenoma in the seemingly normal-looking contralateral ovary was found in a 55-year-old woman.

Evaluation of Immunohistochemical Expression of Enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2 (EZH2) and Its Association With Clinicopathological Variables in Carcinoma Cervix.

Mucoscopy of Oral Leukoplakia: A Case Series.

The application of a dermoscope in the study of mucosal pathologies is increasingly gaining importance. An easy, noninvasive characterization of pathological changes serves as an aid to dermatologists, sometimes even obliviating the need for histopathology. The aim of the present case series was to describe the mucoscopic features of histologically proven oral leukoplakia.

A case report of small round cell tumor of palm: A difficult code to decipher on cytology.

Introduction: Small round cell tumors (SRCT) are difficult to sub categorise on fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) samples as they are rare and it is difficult for cytopathologists to obtain enough experience for rendering reliable diagnoses. Various sub categories of SRCTs are morphologically very similar. Many SRCTs do not have specific antigens which could be demonstrated with immunocytochemistry (ICC) or they lose them when poorly differentiated.

Comparison of asynchronous and synchronous methods of online teaching for students of medical laboratory technology course: A cross-sectional analysis.

Background: In the wake of the novel coronavirus pandemic, the closure of educational institutions has imposed a situation of potential gap in learning. Since training of medical and paramedical students is vital in creation of our army of these frontline health-care workers, this study was aimed at comparing the asynchronous and synchronous methods of online teaching for imparting training to students of medical laboratory technology (MLT).

Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study included 33 students of the 1-year batch of MLT course at a tertiary level hospital.

Optimization of Man Power Deployment for Covid-19 Screening in a Tertiary Care Hospital: A Study of Utility of Queuing Analysis.

Objectives: The recent Covid-19 pandemic has burdened the healthcare facilities, especially in the presence of limited infrastructure. We aimed at applying a queuing model to the Covid-19 screening area so as to optimize the screening services and ensuring that no patient is refused the service.

Methods: The mean arrival time of patients, number of physicians, mean screening time and queue characteristics were observed and entered in the M/M/c/K queuing model using R programming to optimize the number of physicians required in the screening area.

The Milan System for Reporting Salivary Gland Cytopathology: An outcome of retrospective application to three years' cytology data of a tertiary care hospital.

Objectives: Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of the salivary gland lesions has diverse and sometimes overlapping features that pose a diagnostic challenge for the cytopathologists. The Milan System for Reporting Salivary Gland Cytopathology (MSRSGC) has been introduced to bring uniformity in the reporting of salivary gland FNAC and improve the clinic-pathologic communication resulting in better patient management. The aim of the present study was to assess the application of the MSRSGC on FNAC specimens of salivary gland lesions at a tertiary care hospital.
