The present study was conducted amongst students of all phases in eight medical colleges (4 govt. & 4 non-govt.) of Bangladesh to assess views of students about the current activities to implement integrated teaching learning in undergraduate medical education in Bangladesh. Among 956 students, 387(40.5%) were male and 569(59.5%) were female. This study revealed that 605(63.3%) students had participated in integrated teaching learning session, 328(54.3%) students disagreed that the subjects of different phases are arranged sequentially in curriculum and 265(43.8%) students responded that integrated sessions were conducted in large group sessions. More than half of the students (53.7%) stated that integrated teaching helped them to get better understanding of the topic and integrated teaching also helped them to improve application of knowledge. Insufficiency of infrastructure, allocated time, teachers’ training have been identified by respondents as barriers for implementing integrated teaching learning. Study recommended more awareness and training of teachers and students regarding integrated teaching learning. Study also recommended to choose contents which have much clinical importance for integrated teaching and which have been taught repeatedly in different departments.

Background: The medical internship of Bangladesh is designed supervised training programme for newly graduate medical doctors to gain necessary knowledge, skills, attitudes, ethics necessary to identify, analyze and manage clinical problems in order to provide effective, efficient and competent patient care independently in future. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted from 01 July 2021 to 30 June 2022 upon 400 intern doctors to get their views administering a self-administered structured questionnaire about current practice of the logbook-based internship programme in undergraduate medical education of Bangladesh. Results: The study found that mean sores of interns by their agreement about initiation of their internship, the process of their internship, achievement of competency during their internship and methods of the training during their internship were above 4 out of 5 point Liker scale. Conclusion: The logbook-based internship programme in undergraduate medical education of Bangladesh were going very satisfactory.

Background: Worldwide, gastric cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related fatalities, after lung cancer. Identifying stomach cancer without relying entirely on histopathology is critical. The Silver-stained nucleolar organizer regions (AgNOR's) reflect the aggressiveness of the tumor, according to the study. To establish the effectiveness of these approaches in detecting stomach cancer, the present study was done in order to test their efficacy. The aim of the study was to observe expression of AgNOR in histopathologically diagnosed gastric carcinoma patients.Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was carried out in the department of pathology, Sir Salimullah Medical College, Dhaka, Bangladesh from July 2017 to June 2019. A total of 60 adults who were histopathologically diagnosed patients with gastric carcinoma in gastric endoscopic biopsies and resected samples.Results: More than one-third of the patients (38.3%) belonged to the age group of 61-70 years. The age range of the participants was 40-82. 55% were male and 45% were female, 63.3% of the cancers were in the pylorus region, 33.3% were in the body and 3.3% were in the cardiac end. 80% of the GC were intestinal type and 20% were of diffuse type. 50% of the cancers were moderately differentiated, 36.67% were poorly differentiated, and 13.33% were well differentiated. The association between histopathological grading of gastric carcinoma and AgNOR was statistically significant.Conclusions: The growth of the tumor is highly variable. The AgNOR stain is also a good marker to detect the proliferation of tumor cells.
