Published: June 2021

Background: Anemia is the most common blood disorder in patients with Type 2 diabetes. The hematological profile of diabetic patients is often missed clinically until to start the manifestation of clinical features of anemia. Anemia increases the hindrances and financial burden on the patient by frequent hospitalization. It increases the risk of microvascular complications, heart diseases, morbidity and death in diabetes mellitus. Therefore, it is imperative to recognize and treat anemia for the sake of patient care.
Objectives: To evaluate the frequency of anemia in Type 2 Diabetic patients attending diabetic outpatients clinics of Mirpurkhas, Sindh.
Methodology: A case-control study has been done to compare the hemoglobin level of Type 2 diabetics and non-diabetics. The data was collected over a period of three months from the patients who were visiting the diabetes clinic for their regular checkup. Data for controls were collected from the patient’s attendants. Diabetics and non-diabetics were under observations throughout the period. There were 206 subjects’ including 106 diabetics (52 females and 54 males) and 100 non-diabetics (50 females and 50 males). Research concerns included the duration of the disease, family history & presence of hypertension. Methods such as cyan methemoglobin were used to estimate hemoglobin & random blood glucose by glucose oxidase as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) and then read through Micro-lab 300 chemistry analyzer.
Results: The frequency of occurrence of anemia in diabetics was 33.3% in males and 48.1% in females. Whereas in controls, 16.0% males and 32.0% females were anemic. The family history of diabetes and hypertension was also found higher among diabetic individuals as compare to healthy counterparts.
Conclusion: The study has shown that anemia is twice as common in diabetics as compared with non-diabetics. Early diagnosis of anemia in a diabetic patient, and to treat so, will improve the quality of life and delay the complications to be developed in these patients.

Motor Speed Matters! Cognitive Profile of Parkinson's Disease Patients With and Without Deficits in Motor Speed
Authors: Menon Vidya , Hegde Shantala , Pratyusha P V , Kamble Nitish , Yadav Ravi , Bhattacharya Amitabh , Pal Pramod K 
Published: May 2021

Background:
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by bradykinesia, tremor, rigidity, postural instability and cognitive deficits in attention, executive functions, learning and memory. Motor speed, measured using Finger Tapping Test (FTT), is an important indicator and predictor of cognitive and motor functions. Deficits in motor speed have significant impact on performance on other neuropsychological tests.

Objective:
This study aimed to understand and compare the cognitive profile of patients with and without deficits in motor speed as evaluated on the FTT.

Method and Material:
A detailed neuropsychological evaluation using the NIMHANS Neuropsychological Battery was carried out on 70 PD patients. The PD patients were divided into patients with (n = 46) and without (n = 24) motor speed deficits. The two groups were comparable with regard to age (P = 0.591), years of formal education (up to 10th – 24.3, above 10th – 75.7) duration of illness (P = 0.703) and age of onset (P = 0.721).

Results:
Across the various cognitive domains such as executive functions, verbal recognition, visuospatial functions, visual learning and memory, the group without deficits in motor speed performed significantly better in comparison to patients with motor symptoms.

Conclusion:
A short and simple test such as FTT may be helpful in predicting the range and severity of cognitive deficits across other cognitive domains in patients with PD. Future studies on larger cohort examining the intricate role and association of FTT and other motor functions such as dexterity may be helpful in understanding the nature and severity of other cognitive functions in this clinical population.

Authors: Stezin Albert , Reddam Venkateswara Reddy , Hegde Shantala , Yadav Ravi , Saini Jitender , Pal Pramod Kumar 
Published: May 2021

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
The corpus callosum (CC) consists of topographically arranged white matter (WM) fibers. Previous studies have indicated the CC to be discretely involved in WD. In this study, we strived to characterize the macrostructural properties of the CC using midsagittal cross-sectional area and thickness profile measurements.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
This study was performed using archived magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of 14 patients with WD and 14 age- and gender-matched healthy controls. Using an automated software pipeline for morphometric profiling, the midsagittal CC was segmented into five sub-regions (CC1–5) according to the Hofer–Frahm scheme. The mean thickness and area of different CC segments and their clinical and cognitive correlates were identified.

RESULTS:
The mean area was significantly different only in CC2 segment (94.2 ± 25.5 vs. 118.6 ± 19.7 mm2, corrected P < 0.05). The mean thickness was significantly different in CC1 (5.06 ± 1.15 vs. 6.93 ± 0.89 mm, corrected P < 0.05), CC2 (3.73 ± 0.96 vs. 4.87 ± 1.01 mm, corrected P < 0.05), and CC3 segments (3.42 ± 0.84 vs. 3.94 ± 0.72 mm, corrected P < 0.05). The age at onset of neurological symptoms and MMSE score was significantly correlated with the morphometric changes of CC1 and CC2 segments.

CONCLUSION:
Morphological changes of the CC are discrete in WD. Morphometric loss of CC was associated with an earlier onset of neurological symptoms and cognitive dysfunction in WD.

Published: June 2021

Purpose: This study investigated the effect of Multimodal Instructional Approach on students’ academic performance in the concept of Biological Classification at Navrongo Senior High School, generally, and on gender basis.
Methodology: The study adopted quasi-experimental research design. The sample comprised of 100 Navrongo Senior High School Form Two Gold Track and Green Track science students. Students from the Gold Track and Green Track were designated experimental group and control group respectively. Each group was made up of 25 males and 25 females. Pretest was administered to all the participants. The experimental group was taught using Multimodal Instructional Approach. The control group was taught using Discussion as the teaching method. A posttest was administered to both groups to determine the effectiveness of the treatment. The reliability of the test items was determined using test-retest reliability coefficient. The test-retest reliability coefficients of the instruments were found to be 0.73 and 0.78 for the pretest and posttest respectively. The data obtained were analysed using independent sample t-test.
Results: The pretest test scores revealed that the students were homogeneous in terms of performance. Posttest results of students in the experimental group were significantly higher than the control group. There was no significant difference in the performance of males and females. The results of the posttest revealed that the use of MIA in teaching biological classification was more effective than discussion method.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: This study recommended that Biology teachers in NSHS should be encouraged to teach Biological Classification using MIA in order to improve the academic performance of both male and female students. School authority should invite educational technologists, instructional materials technicians and computer experts to help science teachers of NSHS on how to incorporate ICT in teaching science subjects.
