There is a need to improve the quality of teaching done by neurology residents because neurology residents are intimately involved in medical student education. This article reviews the available literature on techniques to improve the teaching ability of resident physicians. Eight randomized prospective studies were identified from health and education databases. The outcomes measured were student ratings of residents or objective ratings of interactions between residents and students. The skills curriculum provided a more robust response, and the objective standardized teaching examination (OSTE) provided a standardized outcome. There continues to be a need for studies specifically addressing the teaching by neurology residents and fellows.

Background: The American Society of Clinical Nutrition recommends 37 to 44 h of undergraduate medical nutrition education. The Total Health Curriculum at Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine (GCSOM) contains 14 h of objective-based nutritional instruction. This study aimed to examine the perceptions of key stakeholders regarding the role of nutrition in medicine and to identify barriers, opportunities for improvement, and roles/responsibilities for innovative implementation of nutrition education.

Background: Endoscopic procedures nowadays are successful, minimally invasive, and safer, with fewer intraoperative and postoperative complications and shorter hospital stays. Kambin's triangle (KT) is the three-dimensional configuration that is used as a transforaminal anatomical corridor for epidural steroid injections and endoscopic surgeries for various lumbar pathologies. This study aims to estimate the dimensions of KT and diameter of the cannula for the transforaminal surgical approaches using KT in the Chhattisgarh population.

Background: Fluoxetine, a serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressant, raises extracellular serotonin levels and promotes angiogenesis and neurogenesis. Numerous animal models have shown its beneficial effects on recovery from peripheral nerve injury.
Purpose: The primary objective of this study was to analyze the influence of fluoxetine on the sensory-motor function recovery of the sciatic nerve in Wistar rats after axonotmesis.
