Background & Purpose It is assumed that after adopting competencies based curriculum the medical education has changed tremendously, however it needs more researches to assess the impact of this curriculum. Nevertheless, An important part of the success of a competency-based curriculum is that all stakeholders are aware of the competencies and rationale behind them. As of now there are only a few studies, which have addressed understanding of competencies among medical students especially in non-western medical schools. Therefore, we designed this survey to assess the understanding in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Methods A cross sectional survey was designed based on questionnaire developed by Delphi technique. The questionnaire focussed to assess the perception about understanding of competencies (mainly the CanMEDS competencies) based on a five-point Likert rating scale. The college of medicine has adopted a problem-based learning curriculum from Groningen University, Netherlands in 2012. At present the college has two parallel curriculums, with the old curriculum being followed by previous students ( 4th and 5th years having traditional subject-based learning curriculum)and the newer students following the new PBL curriculum with effect from year 2012. Results The results showed that selected competencies were similar for both males and females groups as well as PBL and SBL and didnÂt find statistical significant difference (>0.05). However less number has strongly agreed that they are competent enough to portray all competencies from both gender and curricula. The reasons raised as to why there was no adequate understanding about competencies by PBL students included: no clear understandings of objectives, lack of training of staff, first year of study, high school does not produce competent students and language (English) problems. Conclusion The results showed no significant difference in students following PBL or SBL with regard to understanding of competencies. However in PBL, students are in their earlier years and understand competencies that are required from them superior from SBL students.

Background Tamaka shvasa mentioned in Ayurvedic classics is equated with bronchial asthma. Eosinophilia is normally observed in bronchial asthma patients with range of 500 to 2000 eosinophils /μl in blood. Eosinophils are able to produce many mediators responsible for inflammatory reaction. Safer herbal formulation having anti eosinophilic effect is required to decrease the Eosinophil circulation in peripheral blood. Material and Method Twelve freshly diagnosed cases of bronchial asthma having the eosinophil percentage between 524% and absolute eosinophil count between 540-1700/μlwere selected for the study. An Ayurvedic compound containing Sati (Hedychium spicatium Rose), Puskaramoola (Inula racemosa Linn) and Amalaki (Emblica officinalis Linn)was administered orally in dose of 9 grams in three divided doses in powdered form along with honey. Assessment was made on the basis of Eosinophil percentage and absolute eosinophil count. Result On treatment for 6 weeks with the trial drug, the mean percentage of eosinophil was 6, 4.25 and 2.16 was decreased to 5.6, 7.25 and 9.33 after 2, 4, and 6 weeks respectively which shows highly significant effect ((<0.001). The mean absolute count (AEC) before treatment was 942.1±136.9 which declined to 582.8, 375.5 and 218.3 at 2, 4, and 6 weeks respectively. Conclusion The results of the clinical study confirmed the anti-eosinophilic effect of the Sati, Puskara and Amalakichoorna which further supports the fact that it is a safe formulation for the treatment of eosinophilia in bronchial asthma.

Introduction - To treat various neurological and psychological disorders, Ayurveda propounds use of lipids. One of the widely used internal lipoid dosage form is medicated ghee. It binds to various phytochemicals, minerals and effectively crosses blood brain barrier to make efficient drug delivery. However its high dose, greasy nature, strong smell and taste lead to poor drug compliance. Present study was aimed at the potentiation of ghee using Bacopa monnieri Linn, and standardization using the biomarker Bacoside-A. Methods - Ghee procured from Indian Geer breed cow was processed using fresh Bacopa juice in three different proportions 1x, 5x and 10x; combined with three processing cycles single, five and ten respectively. For each repetition, Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) was strictly adhered to. Finished products were analyzed using HPTLC to calculate concentrations of Bacoside A. Results were compared. Results - SOP was established for potentiation of medicated ghee. Values for all the physicochemical parameters as per Ayurvedic Pharmacopeia of India were established for the samples. Concentration of Bacoside A increased as the processing cycles increased in 1x, 5x and 10x samples, but exact quantification of the marker in each sample is yet to be evaluated. Discussion & Conclusion - Method of potentiation using higher quantity of drug along with more processing cycles increases concentration of active biomarker in medicated ghee. Thus it opens the possibility of dose reduction and thereby its encapsulation to increase drug compliance.
