Sleep disorders affecting sleep duration and quality result in several clinical conditions, including stress and obesity. Medical students are prone to sleep related disorders due to highly stressful academic demands and clinical practices.
 Aims & Objectives: This study was carried out to investigate prevalence of sleep disorders among medical students of Lahore and their correlation with overweight and obesity.
 Place and Duration of Study: The participants were medical students from Central Park Medical College and Allama Iqbal Medical College, Lahore. Duration of study was from 8th August 2022 to 24th October 2022.
 Material & Methods: Data was obtained from 424 participants, by using a simple random sampling technique. A structured questionnaire was used to collect information about the symptoms of five sleep disorders as well as the participants' height and weight .For data analysis SPSS version 26 was used, a p-value of ?0.05 was considered significant.
 Results: This research demonstrated a noteworthy correlation between insufficient sleep and increased BMI, leading to overweight and obesity. However, sleep disorders causing reduced sleep quality did not have a significant impact on BMI.
 Conclusion: According to this study, sleep disturbances are quite common among medical students of Lahore and higher BMI is associated with insomnia.","PeriodicalId":20443,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136347577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Development and Validation of Student Engagement Questionnaire","authors":"Iram Imran, None Rehan Ahmed Khan, None Kinza Aslam","doi":"10.47489/szmc.v37i4.389","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.47489/szmc.v37i4.389","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Medical students drop out rate in Pakistan is very high. In our country, only 84% of students graduate, which is significantly lower than the average for developing nations. Class engagement, has been identified as a solution to the failures, dropouts and motivational lacking of students. Being multifaceted construct, the problems of defining engagement have also led to inconsistencies in measurements too. Most of the previous student engagement questionnaires had lack of information regarding their reliability and validity, transparency and auditability. They were long and complex to understand and only measures the behavioral and social engagement. So there is a need to develop questionnaires that is short, freely available and can easily be understood by all stakeholders involved in teaching and learning. Aims & Objectives: To develop a questionnaire to assess the engagement of undergraduate medical students during classroom activities. Place and Duration of Study: This was mixed method study, conducted at the University College of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Lahore between November 2022 &May 2023under the guidelines of AMEE Guide 87. Material & Methods: After receiving consent, the first draft of the questionnaire was distributed to 14 clinical and basic science subject experts, as well as medical educators, for qualitative and content validation. To determine the response process and to address any misunderstandings regarding the significance of questionnaire items, cognitive interviews with six students were conducted. Responses from 210 undergraduate medical and dentistry students were used to gauge reliability. SPSS version 23 was used to evaluate the questionnaires, a p-value of ?0.05 was considered significant For the scale, an internal consistency of between 0.50 and 0.70 according to Cronbach's alpha was deemed sufficient Results: There were 14 experts who gave qualitative expert validation. The initial student engagement questionnaire contained 49 items to measure 5 theoretical constructs, and were modified to make them more comprehensible and applicable. The questionnaire’s overall scale validity index was 0.84. After the cognitive interviews, there were just twenty items left. Content validation was finished in two rounds with 20 final items, yielding acceptable values of SI- CVI 0.83 & CCA 2.8. After the questionnaire had undergone pilot testing, 210 students filled it out, and the reliability of the survey was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha, which came out to be 0.721. Conclusion: Medical colleges can use this valid and reliable student engagement questionnaire to assess students' emotional, behavioral, and cognitive involvement in class.","PeriodicalId":20443,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136348032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As it is among a group of hemoglobinopathies, it consists of a decrease in either alpha or beta globin chain synthesis. This eventually leads to the inappropriate ratio of alpha or beta globin chains causing ineffective erythropoiesis. Ineffective erythropoiesis thus causes chronic anemia and haemopoietic expansion to compensate for it.&#x0D; Aims &amp; Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the serum ferritin levels of patients with beta thalassemia major presenting in a tertiary care hospital in Lahore, Pakistan and study the complications that occur with an abnormal iron load.&#x0D; Place and Duration of Study: It was conducted at CMH Hospital, Lahore, and completed over a period of one and a half year, from June 2021 to January 2023.&#x0D; Material &amp; Methods: It was a descriptive cross-sectional study. The sample size of 32 was calculated using Raosoft calculator, with 90% Confidence Interval, 9% margin of error and 10.5% response distribution.Data was collected using an interviewer-administered questionnaire that compromised of 4 parts, demographics and socio-economic background of patient and caretakers; medical history and anthropometric measurement of the patient; details regarding serum ferritin levels and chelation; and lastly, laboratory (for example, TSH, T4, HbA1c and ALT for all patients, as well as FSH and LH for only those patients greater than 10 years of age), ultrasound, and cardiac echocardiography findings.Collected data was entered and analyzed in SPSS version 24.

As the temperature increases during the TEM sample preparation, it may lead to deformation and shrinkage in PR profiles. In this study, we analyze the impact when performing the sample preparation at a cold temperature using a cryo-FIB to minimize deformation and shrinkage issues. To test this methodology, the TEM sample preparation process was performed under different conditions. From these experiments, the TEM results with full cryo conditions showed that the PR line to space ratio was closest to the target, which is the sample’s real line to space ratio (1:1), and the bottom anti-reflective coating (BARC) shrinkage was minimized.","PeriodicalId":20443,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136352359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
