Case-based learning: Modern teaching tool meant for present curriculum: A behavioral analysis from faculties' perspective.

Background: Case-based learning (CBL) is an established bidirectional active learning approach where students learn concepts by solving cases or problems under the guidance of a facilitator. In the present study, the awareness and acceptance level of faculties to implement this method of teaching were assessed by behavioral analysis.

Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study was done through two workshops organized at NDRI Karnal on December 16 and 17, 2019, and BHU Varanasi on March 1, 2020.

Brainstem auditory evoked potential in clinical hypothyroidism.

Objectives: The association of hypothyroidism with impairment of hearing is known to occur. It may be of any kind i. e.

Brainstem evoked potential in newly diagnosed patients of subclinical hypothyroidism.

Background: Hypothyroidism is known to be associated with impairment of hearing. The hearing impairment may be conductive, sensorineural, or mixed.

Aims: The aim is to assess the auditory pathway by brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) in newly diagnosed patients of subclinical hypothyroidism and healthy sex- and age-matched controls.
