This logbook is a record of academic and other activities of the student in the Department of Pediatrics. 2. Entries in the logbook reflect the activities undertaken by the student and certified by the faculty. 3. The student would be responsible for maintaining his/her logbook regularly. 4. The student is responsible for getting the logbook entries verified by concerned faculty regularly. 5. The logbook should be verified by the Head of Department before forwarding the application of the student for the University Examination. 6. The reflections should demonstrate the learning that has taken place. Don’t simply repeat the activities performed. Emphasize the learning experience, what you learnt and how it is going to be useful in future. At times, mistakes also provide great learning opportunities. Reflections provide a useful opportunity to document and assess learning for many competencies where there is no formal assessment. A deliberate effort should be made to teach the students to write academically useful reflections. Similarly, the teachers should acquire the skills for assessing reflections. 7. Using an electronic version of this logbook to facilitate documentation and retrieval of the work, is highly recommended and approximately 1000 such E log books starting from batch 2015 are available here : http://medicinedepartment.blogspot.com/2022/02/?m=0 SECTION - A Competencies in General Medicine Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME) curriculum in General Medicine More than 1000 competencies have been listed in General Medicine" under knowledge, skills, attitude and communication, rather meticulously and exhaustively in the NMC website  here : https://www.nmc.org.in/information-desk/for-colleges/ug-curriculum/ (check out the freely downloadable PDF marked as UG curriculum vol II also downloadable from here : https://www.nmc.org.in/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/UG-Curriculum-Vol-II.pdf) CLINICAL CASE PRESENTATIONS : The department encpurages all their students to document all their clinical case presentations in  separate E logged case reports (appropriately deidentified and after signed informed consent from the patient),  with evidence of their verbal competencies in clinical problem solving and non verbal procedural videos reflecting their body language toward communication skills as well as certifiable procedural competencies.  All these are archived and displayed here :http://medicinedepartment.blogspot.com/2022/02/?m=0 for five batches starting from 2015  amounting to approximately 5000 case reports (and growing everyday)  REFLECTIONS: CLINICAL CASE PRESENTATION (Students should preferably reflect on cases which they themselves have presented and focus on : What happened?

Draft thesis plan:Outcomes of monitoring suspected acute and chronic glomerular injuries with random and 24 hour urinary protein creatinine estimations along with patient events :

Outcomes of monitoring suspected acute and chronic glomerular injuries with random and 24 hour urinary protein creatinine estimations along with patient events 

PROBLEM STATEMENT / BACKGROUND 

"In most patients with evidence of glomerular disease there is no single measure that provides a specific diagnosis, not even kidney biopsy. To achieve a specific diagnosis, and all that this implies for appropriate management, it is often necessary to test broadly and use a systematic approach."

Quoted from : Cravedi P, Remuzzi G. Pathophysiology of proteinuria and its value as an outcome measure in chronic kidney disease. Br J Clin Pharmacol. (2013) 76:516–23. 10.1111/bcp.12104 

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3791975

However in many patients the glomerular disease may progress and an important factor that is linked to patient survival is residual renal function, clinically assessed as the amount of daily urinary output. Many factors conspire against this important variable: aging, the etiologies of renal failure and time on dialysis.

Draft Thesis project plan: Clinical complexities in the management and outcomes of patients with significant anemia

Detailed 2021 batch tentative thesis titles here: http://medicinedepartment.blogspot.com/2022/07/2021-20-allocated-thesis-and-other.html?m=1

Problem statement/background :

"Understanding anemia’s varied and complex etiology is crucial for developing effective interventions that address the context-specific causes of anemia." 

"While iron deficiency ID remains a primary cause in many settings, the proportion of anemic individuals with ID varies by contextual factors, and poor iron nutrition cannot be assumed to be the primary cause in all cases.Given the complex etiology of anemia, the extent to which ID accounts for the anemia burden continues to be investigated."

AIM: 

To navigate clinical complexity in patients with anemia and optimize their management toward reducing diagnostic and therapeutic uncertainty along with improvement in their anemia outcomes. 

OBJECTIVES:

• To assess various clinical and investigational characteristics of patients with anemia in relation to their clinical complexity and outcomes.

• To analyse patient outcomes based on morbidity (physical, social & psychological limitations)

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

PLACE OF STUDY: Department of General medicine 

STUDY PERIOD: November 2022- October 2024

STUDY DESIGN : Non experimental (Observational) qualitative Prospective Study 

SAMPLE SIZE: 50 patients 

INCLUSION CRITERIA:

• Anemia patients of any gender above or equal to 18yrs of age at the time of presentation.

• Patients presenting with a combination of anemia and complex etiological possibilities where the diagnosis remains uncertain and treatment remains empirical. 

For example a typical patient to be included may  have low hemoglobin and low serum ferritin with no history of blood loss or dietary indiscretions or a patient with low hemoglobin and high serum ferritin likely to have both iron deficiency as well as chronic inflammation. 

EXCLUSION CRITERIA:

1.Patients below 18 yrs of age (minors)

2.Patients not capable of giving consent (mentally-ill patients)

3.Patients not willing to participate in study (non-consenting patients)

Clinical complexity consists of a few defining characteristics such as uncertainty, non linearity, unpredictability and yet an overall pattern leading to resolution through attractor states over time. (2) As physician attractors we are uniquely privileged to "be" with our patients regardless of the diagnosis and that is the only way we may know our patient's outcomes where our "being" with them is the most significant (and often overlooked) intervention.

CBME General Medicine topics and subtopics standardized list simplified domainwise

This draft is in response to an esteemed assignment that said, 

"...are requested to submit standardized list of topics and sub topics to be covered in classes for an academic year with topics and sub topics arranged in a chronological order as per CBME -NMC curriculum, by Monday 4 pm."

The message arrived at a time that provided a generous 3-4 days to submit. 

We have previously discussed the issues and limitations of CBME before at length here while critiquing a paper on "stages of concern with CBME as an innovation" : https://groups.google.com/g/meu_india/c/WEUzo-QCJYU/m/fJdOLS4vBQAJ?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer

So without going into our differences with how CBME is being implemented and how we would wish it was (outlined in our inputs in the above link), we shall straight away jump to how it can be simplified into a quick implementable objective within the current confines of the Indian healthcare curriculum that is limited to best clinical guidelines based practices utilizing best research done in the Western world. 

On the flip side it may help to strengthen and simplify healthcare domain ontologies even in the West but that is wishful thinking at best. 

So to modify the very well done CBME with lots of standard examples by NMC that covers "General Medicine" rather meticulously and exhaustively here : https://www.nmc.org.in/information-desk/for-colleges/ug-curriculum/ (check out the freely downloadable PDF marked as UG curriculum vol II also downloadable from here : https://www.nmc.org.in/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/UG-Curriculum-Vol-II.pdf), we may begin by first trying to identify the standardized list of topics and sub topics to be covered in classes for an academic year with topics and sub topics arranged in a chronological order as per CBME -NMC curriculum, especially from the very well done NMC PDF and then reducing that very well done work into a simplified list of topics and subtopics that retains a few CBME key words or drivers promoted by the original esteemed authors of the NMC document. 

So here goes : 

Topic: Heart Failure 

(with delineation of a number of  competency domains categorized into knowledge, skills, attitude and communication throughout the subtopics)

Topics and subtopics can be made in bold 

Subtopics:

KNOWLEDGE domain--Subtopics that addresses the knowledge domain of the learner and demonstrates that the learner KNOWS HOW :

Describe and discuss the 

Epidemiology, 

Pathogenesis,

Clinical  

evolution and 

Course 

of 

Common causes of heart disease including: 

rheumatic/ 

valvular, 

ischemic, 

hypertrophic 

inflammatory

Genetic 

SKILLS Domain--Subtopics that addresses skills acquisition in the learner and demonstrates that the learner can SHOW HOW :

Elicit 

document and 

present an 

appropriate history that 

will establish 

the diagnosis, 

cause and 

severity of heart failure 

including: 

presenting complaints, 

precipitating and 

exacerbating factors, 

risk 

factors, 

exercise tolerance, 

changes in sleep patterns, 

features suggestive of infective endocarditis

KNOWLEDGE 2

Describe and discuss the 

clinical presentation and 

features, 

diagnosis, 

recognition and 

management of acute rheumatic fever

 

SKILLS 2

Perform and demonstrate a 

systematic examination based on 

the history 

that will help establish the diagnosis and 

estimate its severity 

including: 

measurement of pulse, 

blood pressure and 

respiratory rate, 

jugular venous forms and 

pulses, 

peripheral pulses,

conjunctiva and fundus, 

lung, 

cardiac examination including 

palpation and auscultation with 

identification of heart sounds and 

murmurs, 

abdominal distension and splenic palpation

Generate a differential diagnosis based 

on 

the learner's competence to 

capture the 

clinical presentation 

and 

prioritise it

based on 

the most likely diagnosis

SKILLS 3

Order and 

interpret 

diagnostic testing (based on 

the clinical diagnosis)

that includes 

performing and interpreting 

a 12 lead ECG, 

Chest radiograph, 

blood cultures

COMMUNICATION of patient requirements that comes from a competent understanding of disease outcomes where the learner can SHOW HOW to communicate that understanding to the patient. 

Determine 

the severity of 

valvular heart disease 

based on 

the 

clinical and 

laboratory and 

imaging features 

and 

determine 

the level 

of intervention required 

including surgery

SKILLS and COMMUNICATION :

Administer 

an intramuscular injection 

with 

an appropriate 

explanation to the patient

ATTITUDE that stems from a competent understanding and ability to communicate that understanding of disease keeping the human suffering from that disease at the topmost priority and we need to ensure that this attitude SHOWS in the learner :

Counsel and 

communicate to 

patients with 

empathy 

about 

lifestyle 

changes in 

heart failure 

The next topic in the NMC list is Acute Myocardial infarction followed by Pneumonia but I guess now we may get the drift on how to simplify them and also begin to add other medicine topics not currently listed in the NMC document.

Sarcopenia diabetes thesis project preliminary synopsis plan : Managing sarcopenia and visceral fat driven vascular outcomes in patients with diabetes

Detailed 2021 batch tentative thesis titles here: http://medicinedepartment.blogspot.com/2022/07/2021-20-allocated-thesis-and-other.html?m=1

Preliminary draft synopsis plan 

Managing sarcopenia and visceral fat driven vascular outcomes in patients with diabetes 

Problem statement/Background:

"Although obesity-related type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and sarcopenia have been increasing worldwide, the associations among visceral fat accumulation, skeletal muscle indices (mass, strength, and quality) and vascular outcomes in T2DM remain poorly investigated."

Quoted from reference 1 : https://cardiab.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12933-018-0755-3

Even while it's easy to qualitatively spot individuals with reduced limb muscle mass and trunkal fat it is important to establish that improving limb muscle mass and reducing trunkal fat utilizing diet and exercise strategies would improve cardiovascular outcomes in patients with diabetes mellitus. 

AIM:

To improve vascular outcomes in patients at risk of diabetes evidenced by their increased visceral fat and reduced muscle mass and strength  

OBJECTIVES:

• To assess various clinical and investigational characteristics of patients with Sarcopenia and diabetes in relation to their outcomes.

• To analyse patient outcomes based on morbidity (physical, social & psychological limitations) & mortality.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
