“…In the foreign studies lower values were observed for Sylvialagus Bachmani Riparius rabbits (Black et al 2009). The numbers of leucocytes (Table 1) are similar to previously recorded in Polish studies (Buczma et al 1997, Nowaczyk et al 2005, and textbooks (Brylińska and Kwiatkowska 1996, Deptuła et al 2003, Szarek et al 2013), as well as foreign studies on New Zealand, Soviet Chinchilla, grey giant, albino, and mixed-breed rabbits (Rohilla et al 2000, Archetti et al 2008, Jeklova et al 2009). It must be, however, noticed that in other Polish studies on mixed-breed rabbits and foreign studies on Silvilagus Bachmani Riparius rabbits, also slightly lower values were recorded (Black et al 2009), while in foreign studies on New Zealand rabbits often higher values were specified (Pintor and Grassini 1957, Kabata et al 1991, Kim et al 2002, Ö zkan et al 2012.…”

“…On the other hand, the worldwide research have been performed on rabbits of different races (New Zealand, Agora, Czech and Sylvilagus Bachmani Riparius, cottontail, Soviet Chinchilla, grey giant, albino) and many unspecified mixed-breed rabbits, but only some of them have analysed the impact of the season of the year (Pintor and Grassini 1957, Black et al 2009, Ç etin et al 2009, Abdel-Azeem et al 2010, Yaqub et al 2013, sex (Fox and Laird 1970, Kabata et al 1991, Aleman et al 2000, Kim et al 2002, Burnett et al 2006, Chineke et al 2006, Black et al 2009, Ç etin et al 2009, Poljičak-Milas et al 2009, Abdel-Azeem et al 2010, Ö zkan et al 2012, Yaqub et al 2013, age (Bortolotti et al 1989, Chineke et al 2006, Olayemi and Nottidge 2007, Archetti et al 2008, Jeklova et al 2009, Yaqub et al 2013, and race of rabbits (Cazabon et al 2000, Rohilla et al 2000, Burnett et al 2006, Chineke et al 2006, Martinec et al 2012, Yaqub et al 2013.

In the paper we studied haematologic values,such as haemoglobin concentration, haematocrit value, thrombocytes, leucocytes: lymphocytes, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils and monocytes in the pheral blood in Polish mixed-breeds with addition of meat breed blood in order to obtain the reference values which are until now not available for this animals. In studying this indices we took into consideration the impact of the season (spring, summer, autumn, winter), and sex of the animals. The studies have shown a high impact of the season of the year on those rabbits, but only in spring and summer. Moreover we observed that the sex has mean impact on the studied values of haematological parameters in those rabbits. According to our knowledge, this is the first paper on haematologic values in this widely used group of rabbits, so they may serve as reference values.

“…Rohilla concluded that smartphones can become a nuisance too, especially during study hours when regular notifications from active applications have a crippling effect on concentration. 5 Habitual use of social media sites also leads to disturbance and loss of study hours. 5 Even Rung and fellow workers surmised that the pervasiveness of smartphones is more of a disruption.…”

BACKGROUND Smartphone-a hand-held minicomputer housing in itself innumerable applications (Apps) from as simple as a clock to more complex apps like mobile banking etc. has completely revolutionized the very existence of human beings. There are myriads of apps available to the medical fraternity, which aids in not only practicing medicine but learning it too. The major advantage is the convenience it provides in accessing and organizing the data at a speed which is manually inconceivable. But as every coin has two sides, this tool like any other has disadvantages too. Distraction, dependence and reliability of information are some to name a few. The present survey was undertaken as a preliminary step to discern the stance of medical and dental students towards smartphone and its integration as an aid to promote teaching and learning. METHODS A questionnaire based cross sectional study was conducted in SGT University and Manav Rachna Dental College. A total of 750 MBBS and BDS students participated in the study. RESULTS The study revealed that smartphones have permeated the medical education system, but their use is still limited to sharing timetables, assignment and staying connected with teachers and fellow students. Portability, ease of accessing data, time management, cost effectiveness and respite from carrying heavy books everywhere have endeared the device to students. But a majority of them (83%) still feel more comfortable in learning texts from conventional textbooks. CONCLUSIONS Though the merits of incorporating smartphones in our education system definitely outnumber the demerits, one cannot ignore the challenges facing us today. Addressing the limitations, especially devising a method to keep the smartphones in the campus but out of our lectures is of utmost importance.

LEE, S. B.; CHUNG, B.S.; CHUNG, M. S.; YOUN, C. & PARK, J. S.Browsing software of the head sectioned images for the Android mobile device. Int. J. Morphol., 35(4):1377Morphol., 35(4): -1382Morphol., 35(4): , 2017. SUMMARY:The purpose of this research was to enable anyone to learn the sectional anatomy of the head anywhere, anytime by presenting software to browse sectioned images on a Google Android mobile device. Among the 2,343 sectioned images at 0.1 mm intervals, 234 sectioned images at 1 mm intervals were chosen. The corresponding 234 segmented images containing 236 head structures were selected. The software of the mobile version was programmed and debugged in the Java programming language. The folders of the sectioned images and segmented images and the txt file of the segmentation data were arranged in the source code of the software. The software was distributed free of charge at the homepage (neuroanatomy.kr) and Google Play Store. After installing the software, the sectioned images and corresponding segmented images could be browsed by touching and swiping the screen. In the medical category of the Google Play Store, the software earned a good reputation. The software of the Android mobile version was usable regardless of the time and place. The software is under the authors' non-commercial policy. Other investigators may modify the mobile software to browse their own images. The mobile version of the software will aid medical students and doctors in learning sectional anatomy.
