Objectives: To understand the perceptions of medical students about the current use of interactive learning, its effectiveness and barriers in its implementation. Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out at the College of Medicine, Northern Border University, Arar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Study participants were fifth and final year medical students. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect the information in relation to perceptions regarding the use of interactive learning, its effectiveness, and barriers. The questionnaire consisted of Likert scale ranking and close-ended questions. The student’s response was analyzed by frequency analysis. Results: A total of 150...
Objective: To determine the role of ghrelin in stimulating leukopoiesis of myelosuppressed rats by stimulating growth hormone release. Study Design: Randomized controlled trial. Place and Duration of Study: It was conducted at Department of Physiology, Foundation University Medical College, in collaboration with National Institute of Health, Islamabad, from February 2013 to June 2014. Material and Methods: Out of 130 Sprague-Dawley rats, 10 were used for baseline sampling and rest was randomly divided into four groups. Group I received ghrelin only while group II and III were administered intraperitoneally with both carboplatin and 5-flurouracil with and without rat ghrelin. Group IV in...
Background: Ghrelin is a 28-amino acid acylated peptide released from the enteroendocrine cells of stomach. Aim of the study was to find out the possible beneficial role of ghrelin in erythropoiesis of myelosuppressed rats and its possible mediator. Methods: This randomized control trial was carried out at the Department of Physiology Foundation University Medical College in collaboration with the National Institute of Health, Islamabad, from February 2013 to June 2014. A total of 130 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups. Group I was treated with ghrelin only (1 nmol/100µl), group II received intraperitoneal carboplatin and 5-flurouracil (5-FU) only while group III...
Background: Integration of clinical and preclinical teaching results in improvement of clinical acumen and better understanding of basic medical sciences. Keeping this in view, it was aimed to determine the efficacy of clinical skill lab (CSL) training during preclinical years on acquirement of clinical skills by the medical students. Methods: It was a descriptive study carried out at Foundation University Medical College. Based on convenience sampling, 4th year students who had received CSL training were compared with the 5th year students who had not received CSL training. Evaluation proforma was used. Students graded their clinical skills between non-satisfactory to excellent based upon...

In the practice a high prostate specific antigen level is commonly used as predictor of prostatic cancer. A cross-sectional study was conducted at Omdurman Military hospital during the period from January 2011 to January 2012 to assess the validity of prostate specific antigen as single tool to diagnose prostatic cancer in our local population. It included all male patients with lower urinary...
