Automated grading system for quantifying KOH microscopic images in dermatophytosis.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on creating an automated grading system to quantify fungal loads in microscopic images from skin scrapings of patients with dermatophytosis, which is a fungal infection of the skin
- - A U-Net model was used to segment fungal filaments in the images, and expert manual grading was performed since there were no pre-established pixel count thresholds
- - The automated system showed promising results with high accuracy (over 80% for most metrics) and a strong agreement with human grading, indicating it could be an effective and affordable method for assessing fungal loads.

Context: According to goal orientation theory, achievement goals are defined as the terminal point towards which one's efforts are directed. The four academic achievement goal orientations commonly recognised are mastery, performance approach, performance avoidance and work avoidance. The objective of this study was to understand the goal orientation of second year undergraduate medical students and how this correlates with their academic performance.

Materials And Method: The anti-arthritic potential of the alcoholic extract of the plant Justicia gendarussa was evaluated using the Freund's adjuvant-induced and collagen-induced arthritic rat models. The rats were treated with the ethanolic extract of Justicia gendarussa and with standard aspirin.
