Item Categorization Format for YouTube Medical Educational Videos: An Experience with Embryology(Scholars Publisher, 2023-06) Khan, Zobayer Mahmud; Yesmin, Zinnat Ara; Shamim, Khondker ManzareBackground: Users of YouTube videos face considerable difficulty in handling the rapidly growing uploaded material. Videos can fall into various genres, and a single video can possess a number of characteristics. Rationale- Customized selection of the most appropriate videos for learning, teaching or research is hard to achieve. Appropriate tagging of videos for different characteristics by the uploaders for helping audience in their selection warrant meticulously designed structured format for categorizing the videos based on multiple characteristics. But no complete structured format is available for such categorization. Material & Methods: A cross-sectional analysis of 120 YouTube medical educational videos on Embryology selected through a multiphase systematic method using search terms chosen from selected focus areas of Embryology was done. This was aimed at identifying video characteristics of four functional natures: basic, academic, technical and esthetic. Using the ‘identified’ and related ‘identifiable’ characteristics, a “Proposed categorization format” was developed. Feedback on this document was obtained from five stakeholder groups i.e., anatomists, medical educationists, medical video creators, film/video/graphics experts and postgraduate students of Anatomy through a multiple-group discussion session. Results: Consensuses built on their opinions and lone voices were incorporated to develop the “Final version” of the format that possesses 38 Broad Characteristics, 179 Options, 59 Suboptions and fourteen Sub-suboptions. Conclusion: This format should be helpful in establishing a comprehensive database of medical educational videos on Embryology and with slight customization, on other anatomical subdivisions and other disciplines. But before that validation of the format by putting them into use should be justified.Item Current Status in Medical Genetics: Bangladesh Perspective(Society for Health Care & Research Development, 2018-11) Yesmin, Zinnat Ara; Nishat, Latifa; Md, Abdullah-Al-Sayeef; Banik, Devjani; Masum, Md. MohiuddinBackground:Tremendous advancement in medical sciences especially in diagnosis, changes the concept of pathophysiology and management of disease. Sophisticated technologies now permit new methodology and high-quality preparations ensuring greater accuracy in molecular and genetic diagnosis. Currently, the genetic laboratories and clinics are prominent worldwide including Bangladesh in conducting more accurate diagnosis as they offer specialized laboratory testing and comprehensive diagnostic evaluation in addition to genetic counseling. The aim of this study is to see the current status of medical genetics in Bangladesh. Methods: This was a descriptive study, conducted by analyzing the online available literature on genetic study in Bangladesh, information obtained by visiting the genetic laboratories of different institution and searching their websites as well as through personal communication with the respective personnel of the institutes of Bangladesh. Results: The spectrum of genetic diseases, genetic services, academic programs in Medical Genetics, genetic counseling and research in genetics conducted in Bangladesh were described in this study. It is an effort to observe the present situation. Though a beginning has been made, the genetic services, counseling and research in the area of medical genetics still not up to the mark. Research in gene therapy and stem cell therapy does almost not exist. Conclusion: Basic knowledge and training in genetics for medical staff should meet the national demandsItem Effective Cell Biology and Histology Teaching For Medical Undergraduates in Bangladesh: A Review.(2016-01) Amin, Nahid Farhana; Yesmin, Zinnat Ara; Akter, ManowaraCell Biology and Histology is one of the core subjects of Anatomy for medical undergraduates. As gross anatomy is the representation of the body from outside, but it defines deep into the body to display the microscopic features. It is a difficult issue that requires a rigorous dedication of time and effort by the students in order for them to achieve mastery of the subject and educational achievement. In many world’s renowned universities have taken some new approaches in teaching Cell Biology and Histology to first year medical students in preparing them intended for subsequent medical training by enabling them to remember the useful and clinically relevant aspects of this subject. It is therefore expected to review published evidence for concise and comprehensive teaching methodology that may be affected on the Cell Biology and Histology teaching in our country. For this ground, 47 published articles and books were analyzed and thirteen ‘idea’s could be recognized to find out the insight views regarding the approaches received and was applied in dealing with these subjects. These include some approaches, such as functionally-, clinically-, and principle- oriented, Problem-based teaching, integrated approach to teaching Cell Biology and Histology with other subjects and some ways of teaching such as peer teaching, small group teaching, use of traditional microscopic slides along with illustration, virtual microscopic slides, computer assisted teaching materials etc. By incorporating the ideas of the present review, suggestions can be prepared for improving the methods of teaching in Cell Biology and Histology in Bangladesh.
