Background: In late 70s, Antonovsky proposed a salutogenic theory. This theory was based on the assumption that the human environment causes stress, and sense of coherence could serve as a stress-resisting resource. This study examined association between sense of coherence and self rated health of medical students. The aim of this study was to determine the association between sense of coherence and self reported health among medical students.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional analytical study conducted among medical students. The study tool used was a pre-designed, pre-tested, structured and self administered questionnaire (SOC scale and the SF 12 version 2 self-rated health measure). 172 medical students participated in the study. The data collected was entered into Microsoft Excel and analyzed using SPSS 20. All students were educated about sense of coherence after the study.
Results: Among the respondents, there were 99 (57.6%) female students, and 73 (42.4%) were male. The mean age of the students was 20.8 + 1.20 years. The mean (±SD) SOC scale score was 56.15 (±7.83). The mean self rated health score was 53.52 (±7.11). Pearson's test was used to determine the association and there was significant association between students SOC and self reported health ( < 0.000).
Conclusion: There is a significant association between score of sense of coherence scale and self rated health among medical students.

Broad-temperature optical thermometry necessitates materials with exceptional sensitivity and stability across varied thermal conditions, presenting challenges for conventional systems. Here, we report a lead-free, vacancy-ordered perovskite Cs2TeCl6, that achieves precise temperature sensing through a novel combination of self-trapped excitons (STEs) photoluminescence (PL) lifetime modulation and unprecedented fifth-order phonon anharmonicity. The STEs PL lifetime demonstrates a highly temperature-sensitive response from 200 to 300 K, ideal for low-to-intermediate thermal sensing.

Bacillary layer detachment (BALAD) refers to the distinctive splitting at the level of the photoreceptor inner segment myoid and accumulation of intraretinal fluid, as seen on optical coherence tomography (OCT). BALAD is an increasingly recognized OCT biomarker of numerous heterogeneous chorioretinal diseases, including posterior uveitis, age-related macular degeneration and macular neovascularization, neoplastic and paraneoplastic retinal disorders, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, blunt ocular trauma, and miscellaneous conditions. The recognition of BALAD is clinically relevant because, based on the specific etiology, BALAD may require simple observation, ocular or systemic medical treatment, or even surgical intervention, with subsequent different prognosis.

How do we develop a stable and coherent self-concept in contemporary times? Susan Harter's original work, (1999; 2012), argues that cognitive and social processes are building blocks for developing a coherent sense of self, resulting in self-concept clarity across various domains in life (e.g., [pro-]social, academic, and physical).
