This descriptive type of cross sectional study was conducted to explore the use of AV aids in undergraduate medical education in 7 government & 5 non-government medical colleges of Bangladesh by convenient sampling. Sixty (60) lecture classes were observed to estimate the proportion of the uses of different AV aids & to identify the quality use of different types of AV aids by observation checklists. Views were also taken from 20 teachers regarding the quality use of different types of AV aids by open ended questions. Study revealed that 20% teachers used CB/WB, 15% used OHP and 65% used PPT. Most of the CB/WB & PPT users maintained the quality use of these media but not OHP. Readability and legibility of handwriting or text of all media were acceptable in 78% lectures but it was 33% in OHP lectures. Students' attention was also less in OHP. Regarding number of words per acetate sheet/slide, only 33% OHP lectures met the standard criteria & 72% PPT slides met this criterion. In open ended questions, 25% teachers choose CB/WB, 10% Choose OHP and 65% choose PPT. Study recommended that use of clean, multi-color and good quality chalk/marker & board/screen are essential for effective teaching learning session. Adequate lighting, AC lecture class/gallery, proper sound systems & training on different AV aids are also needed to standardize the quality use of AV aids in lecture classes.Medicine Today 2016 Vol.28(2): 48-51

This descriptive cross sectional study was carried out to identify the existing barriers of faculty development in undergraduate medical education of Bangladesh. This study was conducted in eight (four Government and four Non- Government) medical colleges in Bangladesh over a period from July 2015 to June 2016.

***Determination of glycemic index and glycemic load of hospital diets served for diabetics***   AIMS: To determine the glycemic index and the glycemic load of diets usually offered by hospitals to patients with diabetes mellitus.   METHODS: A cross-sectional study evaluated menus served to diabetic inpatients of hospitals in the city of Curitiba, Parana, Brazil. Analyzing the menus, we determined the energy content, macronutrients, glycemic index and glycemic load of the meals offered to the patients.    RESULTS: Five general hospitals of the city participated in the study and 10 menus for diabetes were evaluated. The structure of the menus was different mainly in the quantitative supply of fruits and milk. Diets ranged from 1317.6 to 2013.2 kcal, with 18.9 to 27.6% of proteins, 21.9 to 29.4% of lipids, 48.2 to 53.3% of carbohydrates and 24.7 to 33.6 g of fibers. Daily glycemic index ranged from 47 to 57% and daily glycemic load from 81 to 109%.   CONCLUSIONS: All offered diets were hyperproteic, normolipid and normoglicidic. However, inadequate levels of glycemic load were observed in all the evaluated menus, although with adequate levels of glycemic index. It is necessary to review the diet plans elaborated for diabetics, aiming at the best dietary treatment for this population.

Benign Thyroid

This descriptive, cross-sectional study investigated problems experienced by patients after undergoing a thyroidectomy. The study included 60 first-time, post-thyroidectomy patients diagnosed with benign thyroid disease from a university hospital’s general surgery clinic in Ankara, Turkey. The data were collected in two stages: interviews with patients on the first day following surgery and postoperative follow-up telephone interviews in each of the first 4 weeks following surgery. The follow-ups revealed that patients principally experienced varying degrees of pain and difficulties in connection with work and recreation, communication, body image, and movement, for up to 4 weeks after surgery. These results showed that patients were particularly prone to problems on the first day and during the first week of the postoperative period; therefore, patients should be provided with follow-up telephone interviews to facilitate easier recovery and to help them overcome any problems experienced during the postoperative period.
