Title : Effect of visual distraction on medical student performance during written examination
Abstract :

Distraction is especially detrimental to human functioning in situations requiring cognitive processing. The study was designed to find if visual distraction during written examination can negatively affect the student performance. A cross sectional study. This study was conducted in the College of Medicine/University of Baghdad from September 2020 to February 2021. The study included 118 final year medical students. They were divided into 2 groups, group 1(55 students) which was given the question set with 5 questions containing visual distraction and group 2 (63 students) which was given the same question set without visual distraction. Mean scores of both group were compared. The female to male ratio was 2:1. The Cronbach alpha coefficient was 0.734 based on Standardized Items. The mean scores of group 1 and 2(out of 9) were 6.87 ± 2.135 and 7.51 ± 1.664 respectively with statistically significant difference (p value = 0.04). The mean scores of the 4 questions containing the distractors (out of 4) were 3.02 ± 1.080 and 3.52 ± 0.948 respectively with statistically significant difference (p value = 0.008). The study revealed a negative effect of visual distraction on the students performance during written examination. Further studies are needed specially in real life situation.

Title : MINI- INCISION APPENDECTOMY- A RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS OF 147 PATINETS
Abstract : Appendicitis is most common gastro-intestinal surgical emergency world wide which requires emergency as well as elective interval appendectomy. Various methods available are open (conventional open appendectomy and mini incision appendectomy), laparoscopic appendectomy (single incision, conventional and robotic assisted) and natural orifice Trans luminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES). To study and analyze the advantage, feasibility and utility of mini- incision (2-3cm) open appendectomy (MOA) in terms of safety, cost effectiveness, post operative complications and hospital stay in the present era of laparoscopy as our procedure does not require any special training or costly instruments of laparoscopic surgery. A total 147 patients diagnosed with appendicitis operated with small incision appendectomy as emergency or elective surgery under spinal anaesthesia. The study period was from 2012 to 2020 for 8 years in district hospital/ government medical college Ayodhya. All the patients were diagnosed on the basis of history, clinical examination, laboratory and radiological findings. Patient’s written informed consent was taken for spinal anesthesia and the procedure of surgery was explained to the patients. Data was analyzed using window SPSS version 17. Mini incision appendectomy was performed in total 156 patients, 9 were excluded due to extension of the incision (from 3.5-5 cm) for various reasons, so this study was carried out in 147 patients only. Out of them 80 patients were male (54.42 %) and 67 were female (45.58 %). Average operating time was 26.64 min (range 18-45min) with no post op mortality and minimal postoperative pain. Post operative wound infection occurred in only 8 (5.44%) cases. Average Duration of the hospital stay in our study was 3 days. MOA is a safe procedure requiring no special training and instruments and has short operating time with minimal complications and good cosmesis. MOA is also cost effective..

Title : Evaluation of the Cardioprotective Effect of Melatonin in Acute Aluminum Phosphide Poisoning
Abstract : Aluminum phosphide (ALP) is a common self-poisoning agent in Egypt due to its low price and easy availability and High mortality of ALP toxicity is mainly attributed to cardiovascular collapse. Unfortunately, there is no specific antidote to manage the cardiotoxic effects of ALP. To evaluate the protective effect of melatonin on the cardiotoxicity induced in cases of acute ALP poisoning. Sixty cases with acute ALP poisoning were allocated into two groups. The first group received the standard supportive treatment plus melatonin, whereas the second group received the standard supportive treatment only. The most prominent ECG abnormality in two groups was sinus tachycardia (56.7% and 40 % respectively). Troponin I level is within normal reference range in first group but it had been increased in the second group with a significant difference in the median troponin I level between both groups (0.13 versus 0.22 respectively). Melatonin use in acute ALP poisoning seem to have shortened the length of hospital stay. besides, it stabilizes Troponin I level within the normal reference range..

Title : Secondary bacterial infections in COVID-19 patients: Review
Abstract : Secondary bacterial infections cause severe clinical outcomes, complicated diagnosis, sophisticated management, or death among patients with respiratory infections. The highest prevalence of bacterial infections secondary to coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) was reported among hospitalized immune suppressed patients who were exposed to central lines and mechanical ventilators. The secondary infection is usually caused by a single microbe or more with varying severity. In addition, if the secondary infection was caused by multi drug resistant bacteria, this will create additional crisis in treatment of critically ill COVID-19 patients. Understanding the synergy between COVID-19 and bacterial pathogens will have a great role in disease management. The aim of this review is to track and summarize bacterial co-infections among COVID-19 patients and their prevalence which may help provide answers for their relationship..

Title : SOCIAL SUPPORT EFFECTS AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DYSFUNCTION IN CHILDREN WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES- A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY
Abstract : The purpose of this study is to analyse to study whether the dysfunction on various subscales of the Dysfunctional Analysis Questionnaire (DAQ) - social, vocational, personal, familial, and cognitive is affected by the degree of social support. Cross-sectional study conducted from March 2018 to September 2019. The study wear conducted in NKPSIMS &LMH &Research Centre, Nagpur. Used structured test – Dysfunctional Analysis Questionnaire (DAQ). The randomly selected children (ages 7 to 12 Years), referred by doctors, teachers, tuition teachers, and parents for psychological evaluation and management. Total n 57). Used IBM- SPSS-25 software to analyse Average, percentile, mean, variance, frequency, and paired t-test. The current study found statistically significant changes in Social (t value 3.291), Vocational (t value 4.769), Personal (t value 3.334), Family (t value 3.664), and Cognitive (t value 1.727), statistically significant at p<0.05 level). Our findings showed that social support training had a significant and positive effect on social, vocational, personal, family, and cognitive skills. The social support-based training relevant outcome, in this approach and beneficial changes seen in parents' mental health especially in mothers' reduction of frustration, depression, anxiety, and negative effects of life stress and enhanced self-esteem..
