Perception and Attitude of Second-year Medical and Dental Students regarding the Use of a Problem-based Learning.

Backgrounds: Problem-based learning (PBL) is a learner-centered pedagogical approach in which a person learns about a subject by working in groups to solve an open-ended problem. The objective of the present study was to assess students' perceptions and attitudes toward Problem-based learning and the role of tutors in Problem-based learning.

Methods: This quantitative study was conducted among second-year medical and dental undergraduate students from November 2022 to November 2023.

Factors associated with severity and anatomical distribution of diabetic foot ulcer in a tertiary care hospital in Bangladesh: A cross-sectional study.

Diabetic foot ulcers are characterized by disturbances in the epidermis and/or a portion of the dermis in patients with the disease. With over a million amputations performed annually, it has also emerged as one of the primary causes of lower limb amputation globally. To better understand the severity and anatomical distribution of ulcerated areas in patients with type II diabetes mellitus, this study aimed to identify the factors associated with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs).

Modified Tal Score as a Predictor of Outcome in Bronchiolitis: A Cross-Sectional Study in Nepal.

Introduction Bronchiolitis is a leading cause of respiratory distress and hospitalizations among infants and young children worldwide. Despite its prevalence, predicting the severity and outcomes of bronchiolitis remains challenging. Standardized criteria for severity assessment are essential for improving patient care and resource allocation.

Sturge weber syndrome: A case report.

This report presents a 14-year-old male with seizures and facial port-wine stains, who upon further evaluation was found to have SWS. Early diagnosis and consistent treatment of Sturge-Weber syndrome in children are essential to prevent seizures and improve quality of life. Anti-seizure medications play a crucial role in preventing and controlling seizures.

Ileal perforation peritonitis secondary to accidental ingestion of a chicken bone: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Ileal perforation is a rare but serious condition that can arise from accidental ingestion of foreign objects. This report discusses an unusual case of ileal perforation peritonitis caused by ingestion of a chicken bone.

Case Presentation: A 60-year-old male presented with acute generalized abdominal pain, fever, nausea, and vomiting for three days.

Use of Locally Produced Novel Low-Cost 3D Printed Respiratory Muscle Strength Trainer Device (RMSTD) for Long COVID-Rehabilitation: An Innovative Case Report.

. This article details the development and use of a low-cost, custom RMST device for a patient with long COVID who had received positive airway flow support during ICU treatment. By sharing our successful management of respiratory muscle weakness in a severe COVID-19 patient, we aim to contribute to the broader conversation around effective long COVID management.

Rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis with Klebsiella and MRSA co-infection in a diabetic patient: a case report.

Introduction And Importance: Rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis is an opportunistic infection caused by fungus species Rhizopus and Mucor. Early recognition and aggressive management is crucial for favorable outcomes. A delay in diagnosis and treatment is fatal.

Giant urinary bladder stone: A rare case report.

Introduction: Giant urinary bladder stones are rare phenomenon which is associated with chronic urinary infections, intravesical foreign bodies, urethral strictures, bladder diverticula etc. CASE REPORT: A 52-year-old man presented with complaints of severe dysuria, urgency, frequency, suprapubic pain, and pollakuria for the last ten years. Physical examination revealed a palpable suprapubic mass with no obvious flank masses.

The Role of Cardiac MRI in Pulmonary Hypertension- Is it Still an Underutilized Tool.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an intricate medical issue resulting from increased pressure in the pulmonary artery (PA). The current gold standard for diagnosis involves an invasive procedure known as right heart catheterization. Nevertheless, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) offers a non-invasive and valuable alternative for evaluating the function, structure, and blood flow through the pulmonary artery (PA) in both the left ventricle (LV) and right ventricle (RV).

Use of a transcervical approach to retrieve a foreign body from the upper esophagus.

Foreign bodies such as bone with a sharp end can penetrate the esophageal wall and lie extramurally. When a foreign body is not found on rigid oesophagoscopy, reassessing with imaging is important. The transcervical approach is a better alternative for such patients to remove the foreign bodies.

Evaluation of SARS-Cov-2 neutralizing antibody among Sinopharm Vero Cell (BBIBP-CorV) vaccinated medical students.

Background: Information regarding seropositivity and vaccine efficacy among medical students is scarce. This study aims to detect the status of SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies among the Sinopharm's Vero Cell (BBIBP-CorV) vaccinated medical students.

Materials And Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional study was carried out among medical students of Gandaki Medical College Teaching Hospital, Pokhara, Nepal from March through August 2022.

Immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced myasthenia gravis, myocarditis, and myositis: A case report.

Key Clinical Message: Immune checkpoint inhibitors can rarely lead to occurrence of myositis, myocarditis, and myasthenia gravis (MG). Early recognition and multidisciplinary management are crucial for optimal outcomes. Vigilance for overlapping toxicities is essential in patients receiving combination immunotherapy.

Swimming-Induced Pulmonary Edema Masquerading as Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: A Case Report.

Immersion pulmonary edema, also known as swimming-induced pulmonary edema (SIPE), manifests with cough, dyspnea, hemoptysis, and hypoxemia from flash pulmonary edema after surface swimming, often in healthy young individuals with no predisposing conditions. SIPE commonly resolves spontaneously within 24-48 hours but can be fatal. Post-mortem findings demonstrate heavy, edematous lungs and frothy airways.

Sphincter of oddi dysfunction induced by ketamine: A case report.

Key Clinical Message: Chronic ketamine use can lead to sphincter of oddi dysfunction (SOD), causing various hepatobiliary complications. Recognizing substance abuse history is vital for early detection. Timely intervention can prevent irreversible liver and pancreas damage.

Low-grade malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour presenting as retroperitoneal spindle cell neoplasm.

Retroperitoneal spindle cell neoplasms are diagnostically challenging. Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours (MPNSTs) can sometimes present as sporadic primary retroperitoneal tumours. MPNSTs are usually high-grade and highly aggressive tumours and are associated with a poor prognosis.
