Abstract

Introduction: The medical education world-wide is adapting competency based learning; it is high-time that the medical syllabus is inculcated with integrated-medical ethics training. An educational training program with a pre- and post-test method of analysis has better student outcome with respect to retention, thinking and understanding. Objective: To assess the understanding and application of medical ethics in students after structured module based training.Methods: One hundred and fifty students of 1st professional Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) were provided a 10 hours’ duration module based teaching of basic principles and core concepts of medical ethics in patient care. The assessment was conducted using a pre and post analysis questionnaire having 15 multiple choice questions with one correct response. Data were analysed using paired student’s t-test for comparing pre- and post-test scores. P < 0.05 was considered as significantResults: Total post-test correct responses were highly significant than pre-test responses. Gender wise, both males and females- post-test response significantly improved (p<0.001), indicating that there is improvement in understanding the principles and key concepts of medical ethics provided during the training. Upon completion of the training, most students strongly agreed that the training has inspired them towards the moral code of conduct, attitude and behavioural change and it provided necessary information on medical ethics.Conclusion: Our study demonstrates that the structured medical ethics training module yielded a significant enhancement of not only the knowledge and understanding level of the students but also in their perception, attitude and behavioural interest about the importance of ethical medical practice in the future patient care.

Abstract

Background: This study investigated the effects of Cuminum cyminum (C. cyminum) on cognitive behaviour and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) levels in diabetic rats, comparing its efficacy with Glibenclamide, Sulbutiamine, and Resveratrol. Methods: Wistar rats were randomized into 12 groups (n=10) half diabetic and half non-diabetic controls and administered C. cyminum 500 mg/kg and 1000 mg/kg, Glibenclamide (5 mg/kg), Sulbutiamine (50 mg/kg), and Resveratrol (25 mg/kg). Controls included diabetic and non-diabetic rats without treatment. Blood glucose, insulin, oxidative stress markers, and AChE levels were measured, along with behavioural parameters of learning and memory using the elevated plus maze, passive avoidance, and Morris water maze. Results: Both doses of C. cyminum significantly reduced blood glucose levels (Dose I decreased blood glucose levels from 278.5 ± 3.66 mg/dl to 136.8 ± 4.91 mg/dl while dose II decreased the blood glucose levels to 138.8 ± 3.83 mg/dl) and improved learning and memory, as evidenced by faster transfer latency (TL) and better retention in the elevated plus maze and Morris water maze. The higher dose was particularly effective in reducing brain AChE levels and improving cognitive performance in passive avoidance tests. Conclusion: Both doses of C. cyminum decreased the AChE activity induced by diabetes, improving learning and memory. The antioxidant and anti-hyperglycaemic potential may partially contribute to delaying cognitive impairment. Thus, the study suggests that C. cyminum may be beneficial in mitigating behavioural and biochemical changes associated with diabetes mellitus, offering potential as a complementary therapy to existing diabetes treatments. Elaborate studies in the future are essential to explore its antidiabetic and neuroprotective potential.
