“…23 Similar observation was reported from Gautam et al in a study of Medical students at Nepal. 1 The present study found no relationship between the performance of students in medical college vis a vis their language of instruction during schooling. This implies that the students from any vernacular medium cope reasonably to instructions in English and that it does not affect their performance.…”

India has the largest number of medical colleges in the world. Selection process for entry in these colleges is through entrance examination only. The present study was an attempt to explore such factors in pre admission profile of students that can predict the academic performance of the students. This observational cross-sectional study was carried out on 149 students who appeared for the university examination for first year MBBS of tertiary care teaching and research medical institute of Government of India, Bhopal. A prevalidated, pretested, structured questionnaire was used to collect information from the students regarding their sociodemographic and academic profile. Relationship between the study parameters and academic performance of students was explored statiscally.Majority of the study participants belonged to english medium, urban private schools. Almost 85% hailed from higher socioeconomic strata. Study parameters like performance of students in class X and XII, were positively statistically significantly correlated, while number of attempts taken to clear the entrance was negatively correlated to academic performance. Parameters like socioeconomic status, language, proficiency, place of stay and type of school did not show any relation with the academic performance. The entrance examination was found to be skewed towards students from one particular school board, urban, english medium students from higher socioeconomic strata. Possibility of adding scores of class XII and limiting the number of attempts in entrance examination needs to be considered. A level playing field needs to be provided for students across all school boards and across all the socioeconomic, linguistic and geographic backgrounds.

We covered the clinical manifestations and managements of pityriasis rosea, pityriasis lichenoides, and Gianotti-Crosti syndrome. Expert Commentary: Most patients with pityriasis rosea do not need any active intervention. Symptomatic relief of the pruritus would be adequate. For patients with pityriasis rosea that are serious, extensive, or causing severe impacts of their quality of life, oral acyclovir could be considered. For pityriasis lichenoides, managements would be depending on the type of the exanthem such as the acute form (pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta, also known as Mucha Habermann disease) the chronic form (pityriasis lichenoides chronic Juliusberg's disease), and the febrile ulceronecrotic Mucha-Habermann disease, which is a complication of the acute form. The management of Gianotti-Crosti syndrome is mainly symptomatic. The need for long-term follow-up for chronic complications of the underlying viral infections is still controversial.
