Tests not only strengthen the memory by retrieving the information but also improve the learning of contents through long-term retention of specific information. The aims and objectives of this study were to find out effect of pre-and post-test model of learning among medical students. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in Gulbarga Institute of Medical Sciences, Kalaburagi during the month of February 2017. The study participants were 1 st -year MBBS students of academic year 2016-2017. A total of 147 students were included in the study out of which 91 and 56 were boys and girls, respectively. The pre-test and post-test contained 10 questions and 1 score was given to each correct response. Results: There was significant improvement (P < 0.0001) in post-test correct responses compared to pre-test correct response among study participants. 35.37% of study participants were moderate performers who were increased to 80.95% in post-test. There was no high performer student in pre-test but in post-test 19.05% students performed at high level. Conclusion: Introduction of pre-and post-test while taking lecture for particular topic help the students to learn more effectively and remember important aspects in a better way.

Only 17.5% people known that Water accumulated in Coconut shells, broken bottles, vehicle tires and clean water can be breeding places for mosquito. 63% of study population use repellents in various forms like coils, mats, liquidators and creams as a protective measure against mosquito bites.

Elderly persons face dual disease burden that is communicable as well as non-communicable diseases. Objectives: To find out prevalence of various geriatric morbidities. Methodology: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 463 geriatric persons residing in urban field practice area from Jan 2018 to June 2018. Results: Overall prevalence of musculoskeletal problems was found 72.3%. Prevalence of respiratory problems like asthma, tuberculosis etc. was 17.3%. As the age increases number of participants with presence of any morbidities also increases and this difference was found statistically significant. Presence of any morbidity was found higher among widow or widower compared to married participants and this difference was also found statistically significant. Conclusions: Present study shows higher prevalence of morbi...

Learning about hygiene during menstruation is a vital aspect of health education for adolescent girls as patterns that are developed in adolescence are likely to persist into adult life. Methods: A community based cross sectional study conducted in urban and rural field practice area of Department of Community Medicine, Khaja Banda Nawaz Institute of Medical Sciences, Gulbarga from Feb 2015 to July 2015. A total 230 adolescent girls were included in the study of which 123 from urban and 107 from rural area, after taking their verbal consent. Results: Total 163 (70.9%) adolescent girls were aware about menstruation before the attainment of menarche. Awareness in urban area 95 (77.2%) was found higher compared to rural area 68(63.5%) and this difference was found to be statistically significant (p<0.02). It has been fou...

Overweight and obesity status were determined using the International Obesity Task Force cut-off points for body mass index. The prevalence of overweight and obese subjects was calculated with a confidence interval of 95%. The Mantel–Haenszel method was used to compare the combined prevalence of overweight and obesity among children resident in mountain areas, rural areas and urban areas.ResultsAmong boys the prevalence of overweight was 21.06%, while obesity prevalence was 5.92%; among girls overweight prevalence was 21.30%, while obesity prevalence was 5.15%. The prevalence was higher among 11-year-old boys (odds ratio (OR) = 1.19; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.06–1.33) and 9-year-old girls (OR = 1....

Improving utilization of maternal health care services is a global challenge for the health system in low and middle income countries. Material and Methods: It was a community based descriptive crosssectional study which was undertaken from August 2010 to July 2011 in 4 villages of Paithan taluka, of Aurangabad district. Respondent women who had less than 1 year child and should be resident of particular area for previous 2 years or more at the time of interview were included in the study. Simple random sampling was used for selection of villages. Results: In present study only 40.8% respondent women had their first antenatal visit in 1st trimester. Majority of the women 90.3% had institutional delivery. Out of 8(3.9%) deliveries assisted by untrained person in 4(1.9%) deliveries umbilical cord cut with unster...
