ABSTRACT
Introduction: Considering the rising intellect of students and the developing scientific temper among undergraduates the concept of seminars was introduced to first year MBBS students. The innovative approach (concept of seminar) for the learning of first year medical subjects needs to be evaluated periodically. A questionnaire was designed to obtain feedback from students. Methods: First year medical students were given a questionnaire comprising of eleven questions. Results: The views obtained by students were calculated as percentage and discussed. Conclusion: The majority of students has considered it to be good method of self-learning and were in support of continuation of such a system in forthcoming years.
ABSTRACT
Anthropometry provides scientific method and technique for taking various measurements in different geographic regions and races. The Tibia itself is a complex anatomic unit so anthropometric study was devised on the same. In the present study 60 (26 right and 34 left) intact adult tibia were obtained from the bone bank of Anatomy Department of MGIMS, Sevagram. For this purpose a digital vernier caliper, osteometric board and measuring tape were used. The study was aimed at determining measurements for obtaining Cross-Section Index in middle, Cnemicus Index and Length-Thickness Index for both right and left Tibia. The details of data obtained with relevant review of literature will be discussed. The mean of Cross Sectional index for Right tibias was 102.90± 22.78. Similarly mean of Cross Sectional index for left tibias was 124.31± 25.06. The mean of Cnemicus Index for Right tibias was 66.17 ± 10.68 and for left side these values came out to be 67.31 ± 7.35. These are not statistically significant. The mean of Length-Thickness Index were 24.21 ± 0.96 and 24.43 ± 1.78 for right and left Tibias respectively.
