Purpose: This study explores the current knowledge and overall awareness of the faculty at an Apex institute about the use and difficulties of scenario-based multiple-choice questions (SB-MCQs), short-answer questions (SB-SAQs), and modified essay questions (SB-MEQs) in the assessment of the undergraduate and postgraduate students.
Objectives: To assess faculty perception of awareness and use of SB-MCQs, SB-SAQs, and SB-MEQs and to understand the challenges encountered while designing scenario-based questions (SBQs) and the ways to overcome them.
Study Procedure: The tool used for data collection was a Google form questionnaire designed with a total of 16 questions-12 Likert-scale format items and four open-ended questions.
This study introduces mechanically induced phenomena such as standing, leaning, stacking, and interlocking behaviors in naturally twisted optical waveguiding microcrystals on a substrate. The microscale twisted crystal self-assembled from 2,4-dibromo-6-(((2-bromo-5-fluorophenyl)imino)methyl)phenol is flexible and emits orange fluorescence. Mechanistic analysis reveals the strain generated by the intergrowing orientationally mismatched nanocrystallites is responsible for the twisted crystal growth.

However, the extensive use of PPE has brought about potential adverse reactions, particularly among HCWs. This study aims to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of adverse skin reactions associated with PPE use among different categories of HCWs, including faculty, residents, and nursing officers (NOs), in a dedicated tertiary care COVID-19 hospital.

In daily practice, clinicians come across certain radiographic abnormalities which may or may not be asymptomatic. This abstract discusses radiographic abnormalities encountered by clinicians in daily practice, some of which resemble endodontic lesions. Prompt attention is crucial as these lesions can be benign or malignant.

The selective removal of ions from the desalination chamber is significantly influenced by the anion and cation exchange membranes. In this study, a three-chamber microbial desalination cell was developed to treat seawater using a synthesize FeO magnetite nanoparticle (MNP)-modified anode.

The aim of this study is to assess the rate of postoperative SSIs between total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) and total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH). Can the rate of SSI be reduced with the use of a laparoscopic mode of hysterectomy over abdominal?

Introduction: In view of limited treatment options (those too may fail) for Crohn's disease, cannabinoids have been tried as a therapeutic. However, their efficacy is not unequivocally established. This systematic review and meta-analysis was planned to pool data from randomised controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating effect of cannabinoids in Crohn's disease with an intention to take this uncertainty away.

Background: At present, combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) is the mainstay for the treatment of people living with HIV/AIDS. cART can suppress the viral load to a minimal level; however, the possibility of the emergence of full-blown AIDS is always there. In the latter part of the first decade of the 21st century, an HIV-positive person received stem cell transplantation (SCT) for treatment of his haematological malignancy.

Objective: The ongoing pandemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2019 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused an immense public health crisis worldwide. Emerging evidence has suggested that inflammatory response plays a critical role in the pathogenesis and prognosis of the disease. As vitamin D can modulate the immune system, this study has been designed to correlate vitamin D with inflammatory and prognostic markers in COVID-19 patients.
