Objective: The purpose of this article is to discuss common compatibility issues relating to the use of movie clips in PowerPoint presentations.

Conclusion: Our investigations found that successful display of movie clips in PowerPoint depends on the following three factors: movie file format, codec selection, and cross-platform compatibility. These factors primarily result from the rapid change in today's computer operating systems. Based on a compatibility study of common movie clips used in radiology presentations, a general guideline for preparing movie clips is presented. Also, a simple method is described for converting movie clips into compatible movie formats and reducing large movie clips to manageable file sizes to ensure smooth presentation.

A quasi-experimental study of trigger films for teaching the doctor-patient relationship.

Indian J Med Ethics

January 2025

Director Professor, Department of Physiology, University College of Medical Sciences, Delhi University, Delhi, INDIA.

Background: It is challenging to teach the complexity of the doctor-patient relationship through attitude, ethics, and communication (AETCOM) modules, particularly without being formally trained and especially to first-year medical students who do not interact directly with patients. The present study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of trigger films (TFs) or short movie clips as a teaching-learning tool to train undergraduate medical students on various aspects of doctor-patient relationships.

Methods: Two modules on various aspects of the doctor-patient relationship were developed using TFs and written case studies and implemented on Phase Ⅰ medical students.

Research on the neuropathological mechanisms underlying minor depression (MD), particularly in individuals with a history of recurrent minor depressive episodes, is very limited. This study focuses on the abnormality in processing real-life emotional stimuli among individuals with MD. Thirty-two individuals with MD and 31 normal controls (NC) were recruited and underwent comprehensive clinical interview, cognitive assessment, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.

Article Synopsis
  • Cinemeducation, a method that uses film to enhance learning, showed potential for improving students' humanistic skills and engagement, particularly in the context of rare diseases like inborn errors of metabolism.
  • A study involving 100 first-year MBBS students used film clips from "Lorenzo's Oil" and "Extraordinary Measures" to teach about lipid metabolism and lysosomal storage disease, respectively.
  • Results indicated that while academic performance improved with "Extraordinary Measures," no similar benefit was observed with "Lorenzo's Oil," although both students and instructors expressed satisfaction with the cinemeducation approach.
