Effect regarding coronary prominence about heart calcification stress

Early exposure to technical knowledge improves dexterity and encourages ingenuity. We see the role of ultrasound as a "sonoscope". Use of sonoscope improves anatomical understanding and improves virtual image interpretation (mind's eye). Early sonoscope use does not interfere with learning physical examination rather it improves one's sensitivity as one sees what lies underneath one's hand. Sonoscope is being used by various medical specialities not only to make diagnosis, but also to monitor and guide interventions. Medical schools worldwide have realised the need and relevance of sonoscope in medical curriculum and hence this needs to be integrated in undergraduate medical education in developing countries.

The lockdown strategy adopted to contain the spread of current pandemic of coronavirus disease has affected all sectors of life globally. Nepal also instructed all the educational institutions to shut down, medical colleges being no exception. One month into the lockdown all the medical colleges in Nepal started online classes to keep pace with the academic calendar. This preliminary survey analyses the students' perspective on newly introduced online medical education system.
This cross-sectional survey used an online questionnaire typed in Google forms. The link to the survey was then emailed to the student representative of each semester of Lumbini Medical College, Palpa, Nepal, who were then instructed to forward it to their classmates. The questionnaire consisted of demographic variables and perspective of medical undergraduates towards online classes and also a space to comment or opine their perspective on current medical education.
A total of 226 students responded the survey. Almost one-third of the students (n=173, 76.5%) admitted of never having attended the online classes. Most of the students used smartphones to attend online classes; broadband internet service being the source of internet in 65.5%. Two-third of the students rated online classes to be poorer than the traditional classroom teaching and 77.8% of the students preferred traditional classroom teaching in future.
Medical students did not find online classes as effective as the traditional classroom teachings; it could be made more interactive and productive by introducing interactive and brainstorming sessions complementing the conventional face?to?face education.

Gallbladder cancer is the most common biliary tract cancer. Incidence rate of gall bladder cancer varies worldwide. Most of the patient with gall bladder cancer remained asymptomatic until late. Preoperative early diagnosis of carcinoma of gallbladder is rare, occurring in fewer than 20% of patients. Role of routine histopathology for cholecystectomy specimen is debatable. Aim of this study is to find the incidence of incidental gall bladder cancer and determine whether routine histopathology of cholecystectomy specimen is required or not.
This is a retrospective descriptive study carried out in Universal College of Medical Sciences, Bhairahawha, Nepal. Histopathology reports of all patients who had undergone cholecystectomies from June 2014 to September 2018 were reviewed. Patients' information regarding inpatient number, age, sex, year of diagnosis, preoperative diagnosis, intraoperative findings, histopathology report and pathological staging were recorded. Data were entered and analyzed using Microsoft Excel version 14.
Total of 418 routine cholecystectomies were performed during this period. Seven cases of incidental gall bladder cancer were diagnosed. None of the patients had preoperative suspicion for malignancy. One patient had intraoperative suspicion of lesion.
Incidence of incidental gallbladder cancer is 1.67%. PD-1-IN-1 It is recommended that routine histopathology of cholecystectomy specimen should be sent for early diagnosis and improve survival of patient with gall bladder cancer.

The registry is in a very infancy stage in Nepal. During the process of establishing Population Based Cancer Registry in Nepal, the major challenges include adequate coverage of the cases, high cost of registration, sustainability along with expansion of the registry to other regions and non-linkage of Hospital Based Cancer Registry with Population Based Cancer Registry. However, the approach of mobilization of field enumerators at the end of year once had increased coverage of the cases. Similarly, the linkage of Population Based Cancer Registry with the existing Health Management and Information System will help in developing sustainable Population Based Cancer Registry and also provides an opportunity to increase coverage and expand it to other districts as well.

Oral Cancer is one of the most common form of cancer in the world. The early diagnosis and identification of cancerous lesions are necessary to reduce the morbidity and mortality of oral cancer. Today's dental students are tomorrow's dental surgeons and specialists who identify and manage the oral cancer patients. The aim of the study is to assess the knowledge and attitude regarding etiology and clinical features of oral cancer.
The study was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted at Kantipur Dental College, Kathmandu, Nepal after the ethical approval by Kantipur Dental College Institutional Ethical Review Committee. The study population were clinical students from third, fourth and fifth year of Bachelor of Dental Surgery.
Out of 101 participants, 67.3% students always examined their patient's oral mucosa. Only 3.0% students felt very well-informed about clinical appearance of oral cancer. Of of total, 54.5% students identified floor of mouth as most common site of oral cancer and 60.4% identified border of tongue as most common site of oral cancer.
