Background: In the challenging realm of health-science education, a rigorous curriculum, combined with the expectations to thrive in a fiercely competitive environment, affects students' academic performance, physical health, and psychological well-being. Objective(s): This paper embarks on an exploration of mental health within the University of Guyana; College of Medical Sciences, contextualizing it within a global landscape of stress, anxiety, and depression that afflicts aspiring healthcare professionals.

El infarto agudo de miocardio se define como muerte celular por isquemia prolongada, y termina en la necrosis de miocitos, a causa de la disminución abrupta parcial o total del flujo sanguíneo hacia un territorio de miocardio. La reperfusión adecuada en tiempo y forma aseguran un mejor pronóstico a corto y largo plazo del paciente. La ruptura miocárdica forma parte del espectro de complicaciones mecánicas en razón de un inadecuado manejo.

Background: Burn not only affects the survivor's physical health, but it also affects the survivor's psychological state. The most important thing for burn patients is survival, and then comes the disability part. Scarring causes not only disfigurement and a restriction in range of motion, but also a reduction in quality of life in people who have a low mental state.

Most adrenal tumors are identified incidentally and non-functional. However, hormone-secreting tumors can result morbidity and mortality. Hemodynamic lability and hypertension in pregnancy are associated with worse maternal and fetal outcomes.

Objective: To determine the risk factors associated with complicated acute appendicitis. Methodology: An observational, cross-sectional, retrospective, and analytical study was conducted on patients with acute appendicitis to identify risk factors, including duration of symptoms, self-medication, and leukocytosis. Other variables considered included gender, age, comorbidities, body mass index (BMI), and types of complications. A probabilistic sample was used to create two comparison groups with and without complications.

An immediate implant placement in the anterior aesthetic zone is a challenging job for the operator since it is associated with higher chances of buccal bone resorption both in vertical and horizontal dimensions after extraction of tooth. In the present era of modern implantology newer techniques, materials and methods are introducing day by day to prevent bone loss around immediate extraction implant placement site and maintenance of soft tissue as well as hard tissue architecture around the implant.

The main objective of this research is to critically evaluate moral education in Sri Lankan school curriculum. Education is very important in our lives. It helps us to make a better life.

Acute periodontitis can become chronic apical periodontitis, which can then drain into the sinus tract, as a result of minor carelessness and incorrect diagnosis of ongoing oral infections brought on by trauma, caries, or periodontal disease. Although an intra-oral drainage is more typical, this sinus may be extra-oral or intra-oral. The goal of this case report is to discuss how extra oral sinuses are managed following successful endodontic therapy. The patient was sent to us after receiving many antibiotic prescriptions as a result of a misdiagnosis.

Introduction: Most common benign tumours of smooth muscle is leiomyoma which is frequently seen in uterus. Extrauterine leiomyoma are rare especially in the deep soft tissue like female urethra. Thus, presence of a urethra mass poses a significant diagnostic challenge as its differential diagnosis includes an extensive list of both benign and malignant pathologies of gynaecological or urologic origin. We describe an unusual case of urethral leiomyoma that was mistaken as bladder mass.

Kallmann syndrome is a rare sporadic and inherited chromosomal disorder, resulting in olfactogenital dysplasia. Embryonic olfactory epithelium gives rise to cells that differentiate into GnRH secreting neurons. These GnRH neurons which originate in the olfactory placode (i.e. the early developing nose); then migrate along the fetal olfactory neurons that also originate in the nose; and eventually enter the brain ultimately finding their way to the hypothalamus. In KS, there is Failed neuronal migration from olfactory placode to the hypothalamus.
