Background: Exhumation is a process by which the already buried dead body is taken out by digging under the law of the land. Aim:To analyze and evaluate the findings seen in exhumed bodies and the factors which play role in decomposition of a corpse. Material & methods:Study was conducted in different districts of Sindh on exhumed dead bodies of different Age, Sex and religion.Results: Total of fifty-three (53) dead bodies were exhumed during the period to study for forensic findings, out of them 34 were males and nineteen 19 were females. Exhumation was carried out after two months to two years of burial, in the presence of a judicial body, on legal demand. Most of the dead bodies were in advanced state of decomposition. Due to advanced stage of decomposition, the marks of violence at soft tissue were lost. Organs were also in a state of putrefaction, so histopathology findings did not give too much information about the cause of death.
Background: High-Impact Practices (HIPs) are educational practices that have been shown to increase rates of student retention, engagement, and persistence to graduation which help them to become high achievers and lifelong learners. Universities strongly encourage faculty members to incorporate one or more of these HIPs in order to improve active learning among students. Students are met with a variety of experiences that are not entirely of their choice, including expectations for academic performance, interactions with faculty, staff, and peers, and extracurricular activities that may or may not match their expectations and skills. Higher retention and high-grade achievement rates are attributed to HIPs. The mechanism by which HIPs improve retention is poorly understood. Aims and objectives: There are numerous analyses of the objectives particular to undergraduate medical education in recent years. There have been proposed three major target categories. Undergraduate medical education has been positioned within a liberal education framework, where the main objective is to equip students with the critical thinking abilities, broad general education, and subject-specific knowledge they will need to be able to effectively problem-solve, adapt to new roles, and apply public health thinking and practices to a variety of situations. We tried to incorporate HIPs in a medical curriculum at the Faculty of Medicine, Northern Border University, by giving them topics that can be used to create public awareness about the selected objectives which may help the community greatly. Methodology: Students were asked to make posters or videos on the topics and were asked to write reflections about their experience and give feedback to the coordinators for improvements and to make these HIPs better so that they can be included uniformly in the other courses as well. Results and conclusions: Based on results from a random sample of undergraduate students, we draw the conclusion that HIPs are correlated with engagement, which is the alignment of the student's critical thinking and ability to work in effective teams, group projects, learning communities, and sequence courses. HIPs have an impact on involvement among students across the world. HIPs are effective to the extent that they engage pupils, encouraging a greater commitment, which is one way to understand their success.
Oral and Maxillofacial gunshot injuries are usually lethal due to close proximity with the vital structures. The severity of injury varies according to the caliber of the weapon used and to the distance from which the patient is shot. A case of gunshot injury that was successfully managed by surgical exploration and removal of bullet from left maxillary antrum under local anesthesia is presented. The initial care of facial gunshot wounds strictly adheres to the basics of trauma resuscitation. Early and appropriate surgical management have proved to be influential on the final outcome and aesthetic result. Treatment of gunshot injuries should be planned and carried out carefully. It takes different stages and procedures to achieve the targeted treatment plan. Prevention and control of infection are important in the success of the treatment.
Cardiovascular disease is the most frequent cause of death in Saudi Arabia; next to road traffic accidents. Both resistance and aerobic exercises provide the greatest benefits as the best exercise modality for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. To determine the prevalence of cardiovascular disease and associated risk factors among the adult population attending the Fitness center/Gymnasium in Arar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. In a randomized cross-sectional prospective study, unselected adult population attending a Fitness center/Gymnasium in Arar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was screened for Obesity, Diabetes mellitus, and hypertension and its risk factors. The outcomes of this study were analyzed using the SPSS program using a pre-tested questionnaire. The study included 213 participants more than half of them 57.7% 20-30 years old, 63.8% females, and 36.2% males. 72.3% of participants joined the club for general health and fitness, 33.8% to lose weight, and 22.1% to spend spare time. Only 10.8% had been diagnosed with high blood pressure. 89.2% correctly answered that practicing physical activity can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. 84% said that walking can prevent the risk of cardiovascular disease and 68.5% said that usual physical activity for 150 minutes a week will reduce your chance of having a heart attack or stroke. Participants showed good awareness of cardiovascular disease risk factors among participants which was in the same line with other reported studies. Also, they know the role of physical activity in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease risk.
Carcinoma of Gall bladder is an infrequent tumour of the gastrointestinal tract and has long been recognized as a highly lethal disease. Tumour markers are glycoprotein that can be determined in blood, saliva, urine and tissues by certain immunological methods. Cyclin D1 is such a marker which is seen to be expressed in various neoplasms. Its role has also been confirmed in gall bladder neoplastic conditions. The onset and progression of gallbladder carcinoma are accompanied with multiple genetic changes that result in qualitative and quantitative alterations in individual gene expression. Immuno-histochemical methods can be used to analyze cyclin D1 levels in gallbladder carcinomas, adenomas and cholecystitis to evaluate their relationships with the pathogenesis, development and metastasis of gallbladder carcinoma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
