The purpose of the current review is to identify the problems encountered by transgender people and the role of medical education in preparing medical professionals who are competent enough to address their special needs. An extensive search of all materials related to the topic was carried out on the PubMed and Google Scholar search engines, and a total of 49 articles were selected based on their suitability with the current review objectives. Keywords used in the search include transgender and medical education in the title alone only. A number of studies and review articles have concluded that there is an urgent need to augment the knowledge, skills, and attitude of medical students to improve the clinical care of transgender people. Medical educators have to acknowledge the need and take concerted efforts to ensure the delivery of holistic, transgender-specific health-care education to all medical students. To conclude, transgender people have been subjected to a wide range of challenging circumstances that have significantly impacted their chances to avail of health care. One of the potential reasons for this is the lack of sensitization of medical doctors about transgender health in the current era. There is an immense need to bridge the existing gap, and it has to begin with bringing about curricular reforms and preparing the current crop of medical students about issues pertaining to transgender health during their training period.","PeriodicalId":55681,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Scientific Society","volume":"50 1","pages":"163 - 167"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47292000","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 a major surgery involving the thoracic cavity, lung function may be compromised postoperatively. Pulmonary dysfunction following CABG is inevitable. Chest physiotherapy (CPT) is a treatment to prevent postoperative pulmonary complications. Flutter is a form of positive expiratory pressure device in combination with high-frequency oscillation; it gives independence to patients and is easy to use for airway clearance. Aim: To study the effect of flutter along with conventional CPT on peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) among CABG patients. Methodology: Twenty-seven CABG patients were selected through simple random sampling and assigned into two groups. Group 1 consisting of 13 patients was treated with conventional CPT, whereas Group 2 consisting of 14 patients was treated with flutter along conventional CPT. Pre- and post-physiotherapy PEFR was noted. Results: The data were analyzed using a paired and unpaired t-test, and there was significant improvement seen in Group 2 as compared to Group 1 (P < 0.001). Conclusion: Flutter device should be amalgamated as a routine practice along with other CPT techniques in CABG patients which can have positive results in airway clearance and thereby improving PEFR.","PeriodicalId":55681,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Scientific Society","volume":"50 1","pages":"238 - 242"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46209874","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}

Hence, it is essential to diagnose early and treat to prevent adverse complications. The study aims to ascertain the diagnostic accuracy of the Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Group of India (DIPSI) versus the International Association of the Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) criteria. Methods: Women (n = 200) attending the outpatient or inpatient department of obstetrics and gynecology with gestational age 24–28 weeks were included. As per the DIPSI and IADPSG criteria, all women underwent nonfasting oral glucose tolerance test irrespective of the last meal and after an overnight fast of at least 8 h. A venous blood sample was drawn after glucose administration and was measured by hexokinase technique using an autoanalyzer. Results: Out of 200 women, 47 (23.5%) were diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) by the IADPSG, whereas 15 (7.5%) were diagnosed with GDM by DIPSI test. Sociodemographic and obstetric characteristics were comparable between the two groups. Women with a history of polycystic ovarian syndrome (odds ratio [OR]: 13.51), family history of DM (OR: 7.02), GDM (OR: 5.8), and perinatal mortality (OR: 4.27) had higher odds of developing GDM. The sensitivity and specificity of DIPSI were 27.66% and 98.69%, respectively, and diagnostic accuracy was 82%. IADPSG test can be recommended as a primary modality of screening GDM in all pregnant women. DIPSI test can be recommended for screening of the patient in non-fasting condition. Hence, by routine IADPSG test and selective DIPSI test, the whole of the antenatal population can be screened without jeopardizing the sensitivity for detection of true cases.","PeriodicalId":55681,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Scientific Society","volume":"50 1","pages":"188 - 192"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49218641","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}

There is a dearth in the literature assessing a possible association between primary dysmenorrhea and resting metabolic rate (RMR). Aims and Objectives: To find the the correlation resting metabolic rate and primary dysmenorrhea in college going girls between 18 – 25 years using numeric pain rating scale and Harris benedict equation Material and Method: This study included a total of 206 college-going girls between 18 and 25 years of age with primary dysmenorrhea based on the selection criteria. They were administered with the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), which divided them into mild, moderate, and severe pain and demographic data including age (years), height (cm), and weight (kg) which was employed into Harris–Benedict Equation to calculate their respective RMR and then it was correlated with the severity of dysmenorrhea. Results: The overall comparison of groups, based on the NPRS values, with RMR scores, showed a statistically significant difference (F = 3.0951, P = 0.0280). While analyzing pair-wise comparison within each group of pain scores for their metabolic rate values, the RMR of females with no pain that is, NPRS score - 0, showed a significantly higher metabolic rate than the ones with mild pain (P = 0.0027), moderate pain (P = 0.0123), as well as the ones with severe pain (P = 0.0036). Spearman rank correlation test revealed no association between different groups of NPRS scores and RMR values (t = −0.0926, P = 0.9263).

Aim: The aim of this study is to develop an understanding of the relationship between cytokeratin (CK) 5/6 and CK 8/18 expression and the Bloom–Richardson (BR) grading of carcinoma breast. Materials and Methods: The present observational, analytical, and cross-sectional study investigated CK 5/6 and CK 8/18 expression in relation to the BR grade in 50 cases of infiltrating ductal carcinoma. Hematoxylin and eosin staining for BR grade and immunohistochemistry for CK 5/6 and CK 8/18 was carried out in the histopathology and immunohistochemistry sections of the Department of Pathology, Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Sawangi (M). Results: Out of 50 cases, CK 5/6 expression was observed in the majority of BR Grade III cases (87.50%) indicating a basal phenotype, and CK 8/18 expression was seen in the majority of BR Grade I cases (92.86%) signifying a luminal phenotype. The P value interpretation was found to be statistically significant (<0.05). Conclusions: CKs along with BR grading can be used as an alternative tool for predicting the endocrine status of carcinoma breast instead of employing an expensive panel of markers.","PeriodicalId":55681,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Scientific Society","volume":"50 1","pages":"177 - 181"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48367015","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}

The present paper examined the gender differences in the timing of identification of autism among children. Methods: The case records diagnosed children with autism spectrum disorder with no documented intellectual disability (IQ <70) were retrospectively analyzed. The demographic and clinical characteristics such as the presence of repetitive behaviors, deficits/delays in language, social-emotional reciprocity impairments, history of developmental regression, presence of hyperactivity, and self-injurious behaviors were extracted from the case files. Gender differences in the timing of identification, clinical characteristics, and sociodemographic variables were examined by utilizing the t-test. Results: A total of 309 case records (Mean = 5.04 years, standard deviation = 2.50) were retrieved. Girls, as compared to boys, were significantly less likely to show restricted and repetitive behaviors (χ2 = 3.92, P = 0.048) and showed greater socio-emotional reciprocity despite a similar level of autism severity (χ2 = 4.48, P = 0.034). No sex differences were found in hyperactivity, self-injurious behavior, history of developmental regression, and severity of autism (all P > 0.05). There was a significant difference in the timing of the identification of autism by gender and females were found to be identified at significantly older ages relative to males (t = 2.13, P = 0.034). Conclusions: There is an imperative need to develop more gender-sensitive diagnostic tools incorporating the sex-specific differences in clinical presentation to improve the assessment of autism in girls.","PeriodicalId":55681,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Scientific Society","volume":"50 1","pages":"243 - 247"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42883361","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}
