    Abstract Introduction There is scanty evidence regarding the role of autoimmunity in vitiligo, especially in the Asian population. Moreover, the existing studies reported conflicting results. This prompted the investigators to identify the association of thyroid autoimmunity with vitiligo by employing a case-control design in this setting. Methodology The present study was a hospital-based case-control study conducted in one of the tertiary care hospitals of North India. We recruited 30 subjects aged 16-60 years with vitiligo attending the skin and venereal diseases outpatient department. The subjects attending the general medicine outpatient department without having a diagnosis of vitiligo were considered for the control group. Thyroid hormones (FT3 and FT4), thyroid-stimulating hormones, anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) antibodies, and anti-thyroglobulin (anti-TG) antibodies were the primary investigations performed among the study subjects. Results The mean age of the study subjects was 31.3 (SD: 13.3) years. Both the case and control groups were comparable based on selected socio-demographic variables (p > 0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in terms of mean anti-TPO and anti-TG values between the case and control groups in which subjects with vitiligo reported significantly higher values (p < 0.05). Conclusion Our study reported a significant elevation in the mean values of the thyroid antibodies (anti-TG and anti-TPO antibodies) in vitiligo subjects compared to control subjects in this setting. Hence, screening for autoimmune thyroid diseases among patients with vitiligo is suggested for the early detection and the initiation of appropriate intervention.

    Abstract Background: Despite the high prevalence of Vitamin-D insufficiency and high susceptibility to dry eye disease (DED) in postmenopausal women (PMW), correlation between DED and Vitamin D has not been explored in PMW in any Indian study.
    Aims and objectives: To explore the correlation between serum Vitamin D levels in PMW with and without DED, in a hospital-based population in rural Haryana.
    Materials and methods: Subjective (ocular surface disease index [OSDI] questionnaire) and objective clinical tests were undertaken for DED diagnosis. 25(OH) Vitamin D was measured in serum using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; insufficient (10-30 ng/ml) and deficient (<10 ng/ml). Descriptive statistics were analyzed by mean ± standard deviation for continuous and frequencies for the categorical variables; Student's
    Results: One hundred and forty PMW (60.1 ± 5.32 years) were included; Group-A (Controls; no DED;
    Conclusion: There were significantly low levels of Vitamin-D in clinically established DED. Evaluating Vitamin D levels as a part of the dry eye workup in PMW is recommended. OSDI scores were not aligned with the clinical test scores; questionnaire-based tests alone may not be sufficient for diagnosing DED.

    Abstract The stress-strength reliability (SSR) model ϕ = P(Y < X) is used in numerous disciplines like reliability engineering, quality control, medical studies, and many more to assess the strength and stresses of the systems. Here, we assume X and Y both are independent random variables of progressively first failure censored (PFFC) data following inverse Pareto distribution (IPD) as stress and strength, respectively. This article deals with the estimation of SSR from both classical and Bayesian paradigms. In the case of a classical point of view, the SSR is computed using two estimation methods: maximum product spacing (MPS) and maximum likelihood (ML) estimators. Also, derived interval estimates of SSR based on ML estimate. The Bayes estimate of SSR is computed using the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) approximation procedure with a squared error loss function (SELF) based on gamma informative priors for the Bayesian paradigm. To demonstrate the relevance of the different estimates and the censoring schemes, an extensive simulation study and two pairs of real-data applications are discussed.

    Abstract In this paper, the inference of multicomponent stress-strength reliability has been derived using progressively censored samples from Topp-Leone distribution. Both stress and strength variables are assumed to follow Topp-Leone distributions with different shape parameters. The maximum likelihood estimate along with the asymptotic confidence interval are developed. Boot-p and Boot-t confidence intervals are also constructed. The Bayes estimates under generalized entropy loss function based on gamma priors using Lindley's, Tierney-Kadane's approximation and Markov chain Monte Carlo methods are derived. A simulation study is considered to check the performance of various estimation methods and different censoring schemes. A real data study shows the applicability of the proposed estimation methods.

    Abstract Objective: This study aims to formally evaluate near-peer-assisted learning (NPAL) for teaching clinical ophthalmology skills to second-year undergraduate medical students through their fellow medical interns.
    Methods: Interns posted at the department of ophthalmology were included as tutors after an initial sensitization and assessment. Second-year undergraduate students were included as tutees. Sessions were conducted for pre-identified clinical skills in batches of 3-5 tutees each. Perceptions of tutors and tutees were captured on a 5-point Likert scale (Kirkpatrick level-1) and evaluated. Tutors were assessed by directly observed procedural skills (DOPS) and tutees by pre- and post-session scores and performance of the respective clinical skills (Kirkpatrick level-2).
    Results: A total of 21 of 24 tutors and 82 of 100 tutees responded to the evaluation questionnaire. Tutors perceived themselves as knowledgeable and useful as instructors; scores of second DOPS session significantly improved compared to the first (p = 0.001) for all clinical skills. Tutees found the NPAL sessions effective for learning clinical skills. Pre- and post-test scores significantly improved (p = 0.001), and all clinical skills were satisfactorily performed in the end-of-term exam.
    Conclusion: NPAL was perceived as an effective teaching-learning method by both tutees and tutors, and all clinical skills were performed successfully. NPAL can serve as a useful adjunct to traditional teaching for clinical training of small groups and can help alleviate teaching pressures on already burdened clinical faculty in Indian Medical colleges.

    Abstract This cross-sectional multi-institutional study was conducted to analyze learning preference among medical undergraduate students (n=1659) in four colleges in Haryana. VARK questionnaire (v8.01) was administered through designated study leaders of the respective institutes. The most preferred learning modality was kinesthetic (21.7%), which favors experiential form of learning, most suited for teaching-learning of skills in medical curriculum. More information on the learning preference of medical students is needed to optimize learning outcomes.
