Most beneficial tool was YouTube followed by Dropbox, WhatsApp. Most of the students wanted recorded video lectures, more online books and more handouts. Majority students wanted a combination of both forms of learning. \u0000Conclusion: e-learning means learning which involves technology. It aids in understanding concepts. The best form is blended learning, which is a combination of e-learning and traditional learning. Students found e-learning to be effective and economical. Students of Pakistan are using smart phones, iPads, computers, etc. Their integration will require development of computer systems and training of faculty members. Different institutes may select different modalities depending on their requirement, faculty training and financial resources.","PeriodicalId":302306,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Shifa Tameer-e-Millat University","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130993922","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}

With the advent of modern medicine in the last two centuries, medical education has seen and continues to experience its revolutionary effects. An important aspect in this regard is the integration of biomedical research. \u0000Objectives: To assess the research skills among undergraduate medical students exposed to the teaching of research longitudinally through all the five academic years. \u0000Methodology: A mixed method study was conducted in which third year MBBS students were assessed in a group through power point presentation regarding different concepts of research while critically appraising a research article. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected. Descriptive statistics were calculated, as well as thematic analysis was done. \u0000Results: From a total of 102 participants, 58 were male and 42 were female. Majority of the participants (81.4%) achieved an average or a good score and only 18.6% achieved a poor score. Six themes were generated. General enthusiasm about the activity was noted among participants who considered it beneficial. However, only a few were in the favor of incorporating this activity as a mandatory component in undergraduate studies. \u0000Conclusion: Incorporating research in a mandatory longitudinal theme component as part of undergraduate medical studies seems a potential method of laying the foundation for future physician scientists.","PeriodicalId":302306,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Shifa Tameer-e-Millat University","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115796071","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}

On one end of the spectrum is the challenge of controlling the spread of communicable diseases (CD’s) while on the other end is the increase in the prevalence of NCDs which will place an unavoidable burden on health services; their availability and affordability.2 Unfortunately Pakistan has yet to control the communicable diseases like tuberculosis, malaria, dengue fever, typhoid, viral hepatitis, cholera, vaccine preventable diseases and other infectious diseases. Moreover, there is a rising trend of non-communicable diseases like cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cancers, stroke, mental health problems and accidents and injuries.3 despite number of vertical and horizontal national health programs, Pakistan is having high maternal and neonatal mortality rates, due to the causes like sepsis and hemorrhage which are mostly preventable. Furthermore, in young children, diarrhea and respiratory illnesses are considered as the major killers.

Knowing the degree, type and configuration of HL is prerequisite for appropriate amplification, with Automated Auditory Brainstem Responses (ABR) being commonly used for this purpose, however Auditory Steady State Response (ASSR) has been recently introduced in the region. This study was conducted to compare ABR to ASSR, as an early diagnostic tool in children under five years of age. \u0000Methodology: This cross-sectional comparative study was performed at the Auditory Verbal Institute of Audiology and Speech (AVIAS) clinics in Rawalpindi and Islamabad, from December 2016 to September 2017. It included thirty-two cases (n=32) who visited AVIAS clinics for hearing assessment and conformed to the investigative protocol using non probability convenient sampling technique, and subjected to both ABR and ASSR for comparative purposes. Correlations were calculated between the thresholds obtained by ABR and ASSR. \u0000Results: N=32 children (64 ears) with male female ratio of 2.2:1 and mean age of 33.50±17.73 months were tested with ABR and ASSR for hearing thresholds and correlation coefficient between 2KHz, 4KHz ASSR and average of both with ABR was calculated to be 0.92 and 0.90 and 0.94 respectively. \u0000Conclusion: ASSR provides additional frequency specific hearing threshold estimation compared to C-ABR, essentially required for proper setting of amplification devices.

The main purpose of this study was to compare the postural discomfort among right and left-handed university students of Rawalpindi/Islamabad. \u0000Methodology: A cross-sectional survey was carried out using standardized Nordic Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire.

The prevalence of chronic musculoskeletal discomfort was significant in left-handed participants as compared to right-handed participants. The highest frequency of discomfort was found in the neck and shoulder region of left-handed participants.
