RESUMO
Introduction: This study investigated medical students' perception of E-learning and online assessment during Covid- 19 and their suggestion to overcome the problems. A total of 300 1st year medical students of Calcutta NationalMethod: Medical College and Rampurhat Govt. Medical College were surveyed by a pre-validated semi-structured questionnaire that was provided to the 2021-22 batch. Among 242 respondents (169 at CNMC and 73 atResult: RPHGMC)159 were males (mean age 20.14 ±2.22yrs.) and 83 were females (mean age 19.65±.1.1yrs.). 68.8% of students of both the colleges revealed that offline traditional teaching is more preferrable than e-leaning. They reported that e- learning is not much effective in practical physiology teaching. Poor network, Technical glitches and lack of communication with teachers are outlined as major barriers in online teaching. Students did not prefer e-Conclusion: teaching over face-to-face teaching during the lock down situation.
RESUMO
This hospital-based case-control study was undertaken among 50 diabetic cases and 50 non-diabetic controls of Burdwan to evaluate neurophysiological changes. Neurophysiological assessment was done with nerve conduction velocity, amplitude and latency of median nerve motor and sensory component of upper arms and tibial motor and sural sensory part of lower limbs. NCV and amplitude had negative correlation where latency had positive correlation with age and duration of diabetes. Independent t-test was done to compare NCV and amplitude among cases and controls and results showed diminished values in cases than controls (p< 0.001). This study reflected that early diagnosis and management of neuropathy by neurophysiological test may retard the progression of neuropathy in diabetic persons.
