ABSTRACT

Introduction: Invasive fungal infections other than theCandida species and Aspergillus species are becomingcommon in the nosocomial setting particularly among theimmunocompromised patients but there is a hinderance intheir accurate diagnosis. Aim of our study was to know theprevalence of rare fungal species and to know the patientsoutcome in our region. Aim of our study is to know theprevalence of rare fungal species and to know the patientsoutcome in our region.Material amd Methods: The present study was carried outon the patients attending outpatient department and inpatientdepartment of T.B. and Respiratory Diseases, along with thoseattending antiretroviral treatment clinic and ICTC (Departmentof Microbiology), in J. N. Medical College, AMU during theperiod of January 2015 to October 2016.Results: Majority of the cases i.e., 47 (31.3%) were between31-40 years with a mean age of 32.5 years. Of 65 isolates,Cryptococcus neoformans and Pneumocystis jiroveciirepresented 2 (6.1%) isolates each, all of which were foundin HIV positive cases. 1 (3.1%) isolate of Mucor from adiabetic patient and 1 (3.1%) isolate of Penicillium marneffeifrom an HIV positive patient as detected. Cryptococcus andPneumocystis jirovecii were isolated from both patients withCD4 count< 200. and 114(+19.9) respectively.Conclusions: Invasive fungal infections other than thecandidia species and aspergillus species are becoming verycommon now a days.

ABSTRACT

Computer-Aided Amphibian Laboratory (CAAL) means that experiments can be teached any time the computer is accessible; no laboratory technical help is required to set up the lab. The learning potential using computer simulation is tremendous. The Computer Assisted Amphibian Lab (CAAL) has the technology, classes and knowledgeable staff to help students in our Developmental Education. Various Software programs sharpen their skills. Various videos related to frog dissection and rabbit gut experiments provide a better understanding of experiments. Many medical institutes have shifted to techniques which minimize sacrifice of animals. MCI has given liberal permission to use these programs and has also invited faculty to build such programs for future use. OBJECTIVES:- The objectives of this study were to assess the benefits of computer assisted learning in amphibian lab and to compare the computer assisted teaching with other teaching methodologies. Methods: Total 70 students of MBBS from Glocal Medical College, Glocal University, Saharanpur were provided a self made questionnaire regarding the feedback about Computer Assisted Amphibian Lab. All students were taken from MBBS second prof. batch 2016. Questionnaire consisted of 10 questions out of which 9 were according to Likert scale and one multiple choice question. Data was analysed manually. Results: 1) When asked about the most beneficial method for teaching in CAAL lab; 36.45% students answered that they prefer online videos related to experiment shown on computer via website. 27% students answered that they prefer chalk and talk while 25% students preferred Computer assisted learning with predesigned softwares and only 9.37% students preferred teaching with powerpoint presentation. Conclusion: CAAL is a better alternative than mere teaching in the absence of animal experiments.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Incidence of invasive fungal infections is now rising. An estimated 4.7 million HIV-1–infected persons are living in Asia. The aim of the study was to know the anti fungal susceptibility profile of Candida spp. and Aspergillus spp.in northen India region. Material and methods: In this study we took 150 patients attending outpatient department and admitted in the wards of T.B. and Respiratory Diseases, along with those attending antiretroviral treatment clinic and ICTC (Department of Microbiology), in J. N. Medical College, AMU. Results: Amongst Candida isolates, resistance to fluconazole was seen in 6.9% isolates of C. albicans. 50% of C. dubliniensis and 20% of C.glabrata were resistant to fluconazole. Also, resistance to ketoconazole was observed in 25% isolates of C. dubliniensis. Only 1 isolate was resistant to AMB which was of C.glabrata (20%) and no isolate was resistant to Caspofungin. Resistance to Amphotericin B was seen in 11.8% of A. fumigatus, 10% of A. flavus and 33.3% of A. niger. Resistance to Itraconazole was found in 11.8% of A. fumigatus, 20% of A. flavus and 33.3% of A. niger. Resistance to Ketoconazole was seen in 11.1% of A. fumigatus, 14.2% of A. flavus and 100% of A. niger. No resistance was seen against Caspofungin against any species of Aspergillus. Conclusion: There is gradual increase in the antifungal resistance among higher drugs reported from other regions, is a major concern for today.
