Aim: A cross-sectional design (analytic) was adopted for the study and the aim of this study was to discover whether the curriculum is fulfilling its purpose and whether students are actually learning. Background: According to the history of education, the term ‘curriculum’ was originally related to the concept of a course of studies followed by a pupil in a teaching institution. Curriculum is a set of specific knowledge, skills and activities for students and it may be defined as planned activities to foster teachers' teaching and student's learning1. The term curriculum refers to the lessons and academic content taught in a school or in a specific course or program. Curriculum evaluation is an essential phase of curriculum development. Through evaluation a faculty discovers whether a curriculum is fulfilling its purpose and whether students are actually learning. Curriculum evaluation is crucial to measuring curriculum effectiveness in any educational setting2. Methods: A cross-sectional design (analytic) was adopted for the study. Eighty two graduates were selected by total enumerative sampling technique. Results: The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. The various categories of the curriculum evaluation tool were summarized using frequency and percentage, separately for B.Sc and PB.BSc graduates. Conclusion: Out of six areas evaluated, 100% satisfaction was ensured in all areas except in assessment of organization of teacher’s materials, which concluded that 20% of graduates asked for improvement in special facilities and equipments for the curriculum updation.

Background: Cardiovascular complication remains the long-term complications in spondyloarthritis (SpA). Previous studies revealed that metabolicsyndrome is the risk factor of cardiovascular in SpA patients. Previous studies also revealed that the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome is 34.9–45.7% in SpA patients. However, previous studies also revealed the controversy of the correlation of SpA’ disease activity with metabolic syndrome.Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the correlation of SpA’ radiographical damage measured with a modified Stoke Ankylosing SpondylitisSpinal Score (mSASSS) score with metabolic syndrome in SpA patients, which routinely visited Rheumatology Outpatient Department in Dr. SoetomoGeneral Hospital.Methods: An observational study with cross-sectional design with consecutive sampling technique was conducted in July–October 2018. All SpApatients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were included in this study. Data analysis was performed with SPSS v21.0.Results: There were 33 SpA patients (10 males and 23 females) included in this study. The average age was 48.18±12.27 years-old. The averagemSASSS score was 24,36 (K:0.93, p:0.00). Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed in 54.5% patients with 100% patients had central obesity, 66.7% hadincreased blood pressure, 61.5% had impaired fasting glucose, 55.6% had increased triglycerides, and 77.8% had decreased high-density lipoproteincholesterol. Positive correlation between mSASSS score and metabolic syndrome was observed (r:0.510, p:0.002).Conclusion: A correlation between SpA disease activity measured with mSASSS score and metabolic syndrome was observed. Therefore, routinemetabolic syndrome screening is strongly suggested for SpA patients.

Background: Global reports show that falls are the major cause of disability injuries among the elders. Developing countries lack the required epidemiological data on the burden of falls and factors that contribute to it.The objectives of the study were to find the burden of fall and its distribution in time, place and person among elders and to identify risk factors associated with fall among elders. Methods: A community–based cross-sectional study of 655 elders (≥ 60 years) was done in a rural area of Coimbatore District by two stage sampling technique. History of fall within the past 6 months was included in the study. Semi-structured pre-tested questionnaire was used to assess factors contributing to falls. The burden of falls was expressed as proportions and percentages. Logistic regression analysis was done to identify risk factors for fall. Results: 26% (95%CI: 22.59-29.32) elders experienced at least one fall. Of the total falls 50.2% occurred outside home and the remaining inside home. Most of the falls occurred during ambulation and at the morning hours (39.1%). Age ≥80 years (OR: 3.28, 95%CI: 1.28-5.98) and dizziness (OR: 3.27, 95%CI: 1.00-10.06) were only found to be significantly associated with fall on multivariate analysis. Conclusions: The occurrence of fall was found to be almost similar to that identified in western countries where fall preventive measures have been implemented. Similar efforts are yet to be initiated here and so this study provides the evidence for the need. Prospective studies through more frequent home visits are needed to confirm the enormity of the problem to suggest policy recommendation.
