Medical schools worldwide use different methodologies to select ideal candidates, which include cognitive factors and non-cognitive factors. A proper selection will minimize failures during the beginning semesters and will ensure student’s capacity to withstand the standard of training. Therefore, we have decided to study the impact of cognitive and non-cognitive factors in predicting the academic success among medical students. Material & Methods: The study was a survey of 150 first year medical students of Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College (JNMC), Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), Aligarh, admitted in 2018. A data was collected from the Department of Anatomy for initial three part completion tests performance and class attendance, which was tabulated along with the information received from the questionnaire i.e. age, gender, percent secured an...

The flow is taken through an inclined cylinder with both MHD fluid and thermal radiations assumptions. A mathematical model is constructed in terms of differential equations via fundamental laws. Since the resultant system is non-linear so a self-coded computational algorithm is implemented to report numerical solution. The obtain observations in this regard are presented by way of both tabular and graphical trends. It is noticed that the Casson fluid temperature is decreasing function of thermal stratification parameter while opposite trend is observed via thermal radiation parameter. Moreover, the cylindrical geometry admits enlarged variations towards involved physical parameters as compared to flat surface.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: This single-center, cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Pathology and Blood Transfusion Services, Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Medical University, PIMS, Islamabad, from January to April 2019. A total of 10 commercially available immunochromatographic test (ICT) devices and one CLIA kit (LIAISON XL) were tested for their sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy using 100 positive and 100 negative samples each for HBV and HCV, respectively. RESULTS: The sensitivities and specificities of ICT kits for hepatitis B surface antigen were 65% and 70% (Hightop), 67% and 85% (RightSign), 62% and 73% (Wondfo), 70% and 80% (Accu-Chek), 68% and 77% (Fastep...

Noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT) scan revealed frontal bone defect along with multiple “mosaic pattern” homogenously hyperdense foreign bodies of nearly similar size in the right frontoparietal region within the extradural space. Debridement craniectomy was done, and multiple pieces of glass were retrieved. The extremely unique radiologic finding and probably first in the English literature prompted us to report this interesting case. Unfortunately, the patient died of myocardial infarction 3 days after the injury. Further, this new “mosaic pattern” radiologic finding on NCCT of the head may help in determining the mechanism of injury due to tempered glass-related head trauma. Window glass may not be always safe as it is thought by commuters.

The samples point was super markets in Lucknow. A structured questionnaire was administered to collect the responses. In all 171 responses were collected non-randomly, out of which 150 usable responses were acknowledged. The study aims to provide insights and usefulness of sales promotion offers in product trial and repurchase.

Both subjective and objective questionnaires are needed to assess overall knowledge and skill of students. To make the papers student friendly, a survey on students' choice for question papers is of utmost importance. Subjects and Methods: 122 students were provided with five question paper types having equal marks and given equal time to solve them. At the end of the examination they were asked to grade the paper as per their choice which were tabulated and analyzed. Results: Majority of the students gave the first preference to question paper type V (MCQs). As far as the choice of second best paper type was considered, there was discrepancy among good and mediocre students. The former considered paper type I (long essay type) while the latter selected type IV (write in brief) as the best paper type. Conclusion: To make the examination process, student friendly, paper having three question paper type i.e. MCQs, long essay type and write in brief should be coined.

[Cu2HgI4] compound belongs to the fast ion conductors of A2BX4 (A = Cu, B = Hg and X = I). The compounds [Cu2HgI4] phase changes near 388 K as the crystal lattice changes from a tetragonal to a hexagonal structure. Near 445K, [Cu2HgI4] is replaced by an equilibrium mixture of α-CuI and HgI2. At each of these phase transition, ionic conductivity increases by an order of magnitude or more. The substitution of Hg++ from Cu+ in [Cu2HgI4]is accompanied by a slight increase in the room temperature conductivity, as a result of either increased crystalline defects or an increased Rb+ substitution also characterized. FTIR, FAR-IR, SEM and EDAX analyses were performed to confirm the formation of fast ion conductors [Cu2HgI4:0.xRbI] (where x = 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 ...

Cardiac manifestations are seen in majority of patients with OP and may range from sinus tachycardia to more serious ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Objectives: To determine the electrocardiographical manifestations of acute organophosphate poisoning at a tertiary care hospital. Study Design: Observational study.

They occur in around 8% of all traumatic brain injuries. Spontaneous resolution of acute subdural and acute extradural hematomas, although rare, is a recognized entity, but spontaneous resolution of the hemorrhagic component of a contusion within 24 h has not been reported in the literature. We present a patient in whom the hemorrhagic component of her contusion resolved spontaneously over a period of 24 h after injury. The rarity of this case prompted us to this study.

Around 60 cases have been reported in the literature. Of these, only 10 cases have had magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies. Here, we report a case of isolated intramedullary epidermoid tumour at D2-D3 level. The etiology, pathology, clinical features, MRI characteristics and surgical treatment of such rare intramedullary tumours are discussed.
