Describes a sequential training curriculum in the use of telescopic visual aids. Covers 29 topics, including aid maintenance, holding aid properly, focusing, scanning, target location, tracking, aid use for city bus travel, in a shopping center, and in a fast food type restaurant. For each topic gives specific objective of the training, procedure to follow, and questions for use in evaluating student performance.

AbstractPurpose:To compare the performance in oral, craniomaxillofacial, and facial plastic surgery (CMF)-specific surgical skills between medical students (MS) and dental students (DS) and hence adjust the current CMF training to student-specific needs. The investigators hypothesized that there would be no performance differences between MS and DS.Methods:The investigators implemented a comparative retrospective item-based analysis of student performance in a CMF-specific objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) from 2008 to 2015. The sample was composed of 1010 MS and 225 DS who completed a standardized CMF training and OSCE. Three OSCE scenarios [management mandible fracture (MMF), management zygomatic fracture (MZF), and structured facial examination (SFE)] were included in the study because learning objectives were equal. Descriptive and bivariate statistics were computed and the p value was set at 0.05.Results:In all of the analyzed OSCE scenarios, DS significantly outperformed MS (MMF p<0.001; MZF p=0.013; SFE p<0.001). DS especially appeared to be better in the correct interpretation of radiological findings (five of seven items, MMF) and the correct allocation of anatomical structures (four of five items, MZF) as well as the symptom-oriented examination of the eye (three of three items, SFE).Discussion and conclusion:DS overall seem to be perform better in typical CMF skills. The reasons for this performance gap could be a more profound knowledge of the facial anatomy as well as a higher awareness for CMF as a related specialty to dentistry. CMF should be included in medical curricula in a larger scale, and possible career paths should be highlighted to MS and DS to raise attraction for the specialty. Further studies should focus on the implementation of modern teaching methods in CMF education.

Introduction: SRUS was rst identied as clinical identity in 1969. But the etiology is not known. Anal ssure, IBD, proctagia fugax and malignancy, rectal polyps, hemorrhoids, and infections. Rarely ischemia, trauma and cystic profunda colitis and Stercoral ulcers have to be excluded. Hence a careful history is important. Material and methods: Patients presenting with C/O constipation or straining at stools with difculty in passing motion with associated minimal bleeding per rectum on and off period less than a month were included in the study. All patients were investigated for stool for occult blood, Us abdomen, BMFT, CBP and exible sigmoidoscopy. Results:100 patients presenting with constipation and bleeding PR were investigated. Flexible sigmoidoscopy showed multiple pin point supercial ulcers on the anterior rectal wall without involvement of sigmoid colon. The incidence age group wise was seen very high between 20 to 60 years. M: F ratio 47:53. All were positive for stool for occult blood, negative for IBD and malignancy by biopsy. They responded to dietary changes i.e; veg, non spicy, non fried diet with antibiotic, mesalamine (400mg BD) and lactulose 15ml at bed time. 10 days after the test follow up sigmoidoscopy was found normal and patient asymptomatic even after 3 months. Discussion: The incidence of SRUS has become common irrespective of age and sex. The type of food used by all these patients was found to be more or less similar with majority of them using fast food, fried food, and spicy food. Stoppage of the above mentioned food with specic treatment for 10 days resulted in recovery with normal sigmoidoscopy. Conclusion: SRUS incidence is high in general population due to specic food type and evacuation behavior.

The Impact

Abstract Background Adolescence is one of the main growth periods of life during which dietary needs are specific and where diet quality is important for healthy development. Nonetheless, unhealthy eating behaviours are common among adolescents including over consumption of unhealthy fast food, sugar and fat and skipping meals. Exposure to unhealthy eating can lead to chronic conditions such as obesity and diabetes. In this context, we conducted this study to describe the quality of the diet of middle school students in the Region of Kairouan in Tunisia. Methods This is a cross-sectional study conducted in 2017 among middle school students in the Region of Kairouan. Data collection was carried out using a self-administered questionnaire. Results In this study, 494 students were included. In terms of food type, fast food meals (sandwiches) were the most preferred type of food (52.6%). Daily consumption of vegetables and fruit was reported by 48.8% of students. Among the participants, 46.8% reported daily consumption of olive oil. Daily water consumption was less than one liter for 32% of the college students. Daily coffee and/or tea consumption concerned 53.8% of respondents. In the current study, 39.3% of the students reported that they consume more than three meals per day and 26.7% declared that they often skip the breakfast. In our study, 62.8% of the participants had reported their dissatisfaction with their nutrition education, 54.9% sought to know the food composition and 57.9% reported that they have a willingness to adopt a healthy eating. Conclusions A quality and diversified diet can cover the specific nutritional needs of adolescents. A diet inspired by the Mediterranean food is to be encouraged. Further studies should be conducted among adolescents to evaluate the impact of a healthy and balanced diet on health and school achievement. Key messages The quality of diet of Tunisian adolescents is to be improved. Effective comprehensive programs for healthy lifestyle promotion are needed to improve the eating behaviour among Tunisian adolescents.
