Sisay T, Alemayehu K, Haile M. 2018. Handling and marketing of dairy products in and around Bahir Dar Milkshed Areas, Ethiopia. Trop Drylands 2: 48-58. This study was conducted to assess handling, processing and marketing of milk and milk products using 180 sample households in the formal survey with a pre-tested structured questionnaire. Market channels and chains of milk and milk products were described using market data from sample households, key informants and sale records. Overall, 45.6% of the sample households supplied milk for market with the highest in Bahir Dar City, followed by Tis Abay and lowest proportion was at Sebatamit rural kebele. Overall, the average amount of milk daily supplied to market was 6.6 liters/household and the figure at Bahir Dar City, Sebatamit and Tis Abay rural kebeles were 9.7, 5.6 and 2.33 liters, respectively. Daily milk delivered through cooperative and other sale outlets as farm gate, customers` gate on delivery system and farm shop. Season, location and interaction of these factors had highly significant (P ≤ 0.01) effect on volume of milk monthly collected at cooperatives. Different market channels, outlets, and agents identified for various dairy products; butter being with the longest channel, followed by marketing of milk and low-fat milk/ semi-skim milk to pass through about three channels. Milk supplied to market, generally constrained by feed shortage, lack of improved breed, unreliable milk market, unattractive price and producers` limited awareness. Dairy cooperatives generally, create milk market outlet and supplied various processed milk products to market; of which low-fat milk (semi-skim milk) is sold in its fresh state which might be used as a less expensive product. Hence, to the paramount role of the cooperatives in the area strengthening the linkage between producers and consumers, which in turn provide reliable milk market and benefit producers from market opportunity of dairying, the constraints limiting the supply of marketable milk need to be addressed.

The Impact

Objective: Medical podcasts are becoming increasingly available; however, it is unclear how these new resources are being used by trainees or whether they influence clinical practice. This study explores the preferences and experiences of otolaryngology residents with otolaryngology-specific podcasts, and the impact of these podcasts on resident education and clinical practice. Methods: An 18-question survey was distributed anonymously to a representative junior (up to post-graduate year 3) and senior (post-graduate year 4 or greater) otolaryngology residents at most programs across the US. Along with demographic information, the survey was designed to explore the preferences of educational materials, podcast listening habits and motivations, and influence of podcasts on medical practice. Descriptive statistics and student t-tests were used to analyze the results. Results: The survey was distributed to 198 current otolaryngology residents representing 94% of eligible residency programs and was completed by 73 residents (37% response rate). Nearly 3-quarters of respondents reported previous use of otolaryngology podcasts, among which 83% listen at least monthly. Over half of residents changed their overall clinical (53%) and consult (51%) practice based on podcast use. Residents rank-ordered listening to podcasts last among traditional options for asynchronous learning, including reading textbooks and watching online videos. Conclusions: While other asynchronous learning tools remain popular, most residents responding to this survey use podcasts and report that podcasts influence their clinical practice. This study reveals how podcasts are currently used as a supplement to formal otolaryngology education. Results from the survey may inform how medical podcasts could be implemented into resident education in the future.

Abstract Background and aims : Clinical skills are built upon the anatomical knowledge, the study of which must not be reduced to a level where it becomes detrimental to the care of patients. The drastic curtailment of period in basic teaching of anatomy in the curriculum of undergraduate medical students from one and a half year to one year, non availability of cadavers and decline in faculty have further reduced the general level of its applied aspect. This situation illustrates the need for organized teaching of clinically relevant Anatomy as part of post-graduate curriculum. The aim of the present study is to assess and evaluate the group's perception towards organized teaching of clinically relevant Anatomy as part of clinicaVsurgical subjects. Materials and methods : Three groups were made which reflect their perception in the form of questionnaire responses towards organized teaching of clinically relevant anatomy as a part of clinicaVsurgical subjects. The questionnaire were framed to assess whether these visits were of any help in betterment of their understanding of clinical subjects. Results : Based on groups perception in the form of questionnaire responses the results were observed, recorded and tabulated. Before viewing the sections of regional anatomy 63.3% (19) of group I and 80% (72) of group II and in group ill 86.7% (26) were in favour of having the moderate knowledge of the structures while attending the operation. After viewing the specimens out of 150 participants 86.7% rated this method of great help. 70% (105) were in view that the knowledge of normal histology also helps in understanding the subject of pathology. 91.3% (137) commented that of all the basic sciences, Anatomy is the most clinically relevant and should be revised thoroughly during post graduation courses. Conclusion: Anatomy forms back-bone of all specialties, without which foundation of clinical specialties could not be strengthened. Thus anatomy as it applies to all aspects of surgery and other clinical subjects should be revised thoroughly during their post-graduation.
