Medical council of India has made remarkable modifications in the curriculum of medical students after a long period of more than 20 years with regulations on Graduate Medical Education 1997. Innovative and interactive teaching methods have taken center place in the implementation of the new curriculum nationwide. Small group teaching and problem-assisted learning have brought a paradigm shift in biochemistry teaching, which was earlier teacher cantered and was taught by only didactic lectures due to which biochemistry was considered a boring and dry subject. The present interventional study was conducted in the Department of Biochemistry, Vardhman Mahavir Medical College and Safdarjung Hospital, Delhi. All the students of MBBS first professional Batch 2018-2019 were enrolled in the present study. After sensitizing the faculty and students regarding jigsaw method of learning, it was undertaken in two different batches on 4 different days, with faculty and senior residents acting as facilitators. The groups were named according to rainbow colors. The topics were taught by power point presentation before the conduction of jigsaw activity that was discussed in form of seven clinical cases. Post jigsaw, a prevalidated feedback questionnaire was filled by the students. The faculty and senior residents gave a constructive feedback via focused group discussion. In our study 100% students opined that teaching and being taught by peers was beneficial in enhancing the in depth knowledge of the topic. Ninety-two percent students opined jigsaw learning helpful in promoting self-directed learning in the student, whereas 88.5% students felt that this teaching learning tool to be made a the regular part of the curriculum. Jigsaw groups create many opportunities for creative interchange of ideas and lively and meaningful participations. But due to limitation of time and logistics, it can be used in conjunction with routine methods of learning.

Article Synopsis
- Self-supervised learning (SSL) is increasingly being used in medical imaging, particularly through methods like the Jigsaw puzzle task, which helps models learn features and relationships within images without needing labeled data.
- The study evaluated different pre-training methods on mammographic images from the Chinese Mammography Database, comparing the effectiveness of models that used Jigsaw puzzles, ImageNet tasks, or no pre-training at all in detecting breast cancer.
- Results showed that models utilizing the Jigsaw puzzle task achieved the highest area under the curve (AUC) scores, indicating its potential to improve classification accuracy even with limited data.
Jigsaw as a Revision Module for Enhancing Learning in Biochemistry Among First-Year Medical Students.

A heptasaccharide was isolated from an active fraction of Trillium tschonoskii using HILIC and high-temperature PGC chromatography methods. UHPLC-Q/TOF-MS analysis gave this oligosaccharide a degree of polymerization (DP) of 7 and MS/MS showed that it has a six-carbon aldehyde glucan structure with the possible chain 1 → 4 connected. The structure was determined by series 1D and 2D NMR in two solvents DO and DMSO‑d.

Article Synopsis
- - The ASM Curriculum Guidelines emphasize the importance of active learning in microbiology courses, suggesting that this approach promotes student participation and success, despite the temptation of resorting to traditional lectures in content-heavy courses.
- - A case series focusing on respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was developed to boost student engagement by connecting various microbiology concepts through different learning objectives, utilizing methods like case-based learning and real-world data analysis.
- - Student feedback has shown that they prefer these interactive activities over typical lectures, as the case series helps them better understand and relate key microbiological concepts, fostering higher-order thinking and real-world application.

Purpose: This article examines teaching the consequences of harm and error to multisite prelicensure baccalaureate, second-degree baccalaureate, and graduate nursing students utilizing the RaDonda Vaught Trial as an exemplar. The Jigsaw Technique (JT) was the chosen learning strategy to empower students with knowledge and understanding through the lens of terms acquired throughout existing concept-based nursing curriculum.
Results: Nursing students evaluated the approach to this activity using both quantitative and qualitative feedback.
