In samples of 30 Canadian and 117 American undergraduates, academic performance was more strongly correlated with perfectionism scores (Revised Almost Perfect Scale) (r = .20 and -.17) than with those on self-reported depression (CES-Depression) (r = -.09).

Introduction: Sleep plays a crucial role in health, well-being, and academic performance. Despite the recognized importance of good sleep for students, there is a need for a deeper understanding of the sleep problems faced by university students to inform effective campus support services and interventions. This study aimed to evaluate sleep quality among university students by assessing differences in key sleep parameters between sex and age groups.

Background: The learning environment (LE) plays a crucial role in the performance and training of medical students. Different tools have been used to assess the LE with various conclusions. However, the John Hopkins Learning Environment Scale (JHLES) which is a relatively newer scale is more specific, less cumbersome to administer, and has a wider scope.

Background: Subtotal and total glossectomies for advanced tongue cancer result in significant speech- and swallow-related morbidity, impairing quality of life. This prospective pilot study compares the safety and functional outcomes associated with using a chimeric innervated muscle and fasciocutaneous flap for soft tissue reconstruction.
Materials And Methods: A prospective, non-randomized controlled pilot study evaluated a standardized technique for tongue reconstruction using a chimeric innervated vastus lateralis muscle and anterolateral thigh fasciocutaneous flap.

Background: A significant gap exists in understanding the effectiveness of intra-class (same-class) level peer mentorship programmes designed to enhance academic performance, well-being, and student involvement among underperforming medical students. This study assessed the effectiveness of intra-class (same-class) peer mentorship programme on the academic performances, subjective well-being and school engagement of academically underperforming medical students in Nigeria.
Methods: This was a quasi-experimental research consisting of the pretest-posttest control design at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Nigeria.

In school-age children and adolescents, uncorrected myopia impedes reading and academic performance. Among middle-aged and elderly populations, myopia poses severe risks such as macular degeneration, macular holes and retinal detachment, leading to irreversible visual impairment.
