It is taught in 3rd, 4th, and 5th semesters of our medical curriculum, and it is the backbone of rational therapeutics. Sound knowledge of this subject plays a very important role in developing a rational approach toward treating patients. It needs to be taught and learnt effectively so that the benefit of the rational use of drug and cost-effective treatment reach the grass root levels of the community with the help of basic doctor. The curriculum of pharmacology being implemented is currently lacks uniformity at different medical colleges due to the lack of a clear directive from the Medical Council of India (MCI) and has failed to keep pace with the rapid changes and the requirements of clinical practice. 1 A famous pharmacologist also wrote, " the undergraduate (UG) medical curriculum in pharmacology, which has been a topic of intense debate among the pharmacologist unfortunately, has not undergone the requisite changes commensurate with the explosion of knowledge, techniques and new drugs have flooded the medical scene. " 2 Didactic lectures, tutorials, and practical classes are the common methods of teaching in most of the medical colleges of India. The scientific curriculum of our subject and the innovative teaching methods would produce the vision and roadmap which can fulfill the academic objectives. It is believed that reviewing the teaching methods on getting feedback from the students and the modification of methodologies accordingly is very important for the UG medical teaching. 3,4 ABSTRACT Background: The objective of current study was to obtain an opinion from 2nd professional year passed medical students on current curriculum, teaching methodology and importance of pharmacology subject and to identify the area of improvement. Methods: A set questionnaire was distributed among randomly distributed to 2nd year passed 100 undergraduate (UG) students to each of four medical colleges. They were instructed to tick out the best possible option of each question on the basis of their own perceptions. They are also asked to give suggestion to improve teaching and learning of pharmacology subject. Results: Out of the 400 students, only 387 responses of students were suitable for data analysis. The majority of students 99.22% (384) were unsatisfied with the practical teaching. Teachings of preparing and dispensing types of exercises were irrelevant in today's clinical practice according to 87.78% of the students and were in favor of the deletion of such exercises from the curriculum. The analysis showed that 62.27% of the students were the opinion that animals should not be used in experimental pharmacology. More than half of the UGs (63%) supported the use of computer assisted learning. All of the students were interested in the inclusion of case, problem and multiple choice based question discussions in the regular teaching classes followed by quizzes (31.78%) and group discussions (14.47) while small number of students (1.03%) were interested in the conduction of seminars. Conclusion: There is an urgent need to reform the curriculum and practical teaching methods for fulfilling the objective of reading pharmacology.

A novel parameter automation strategy for Particle Swarm Optimization called APSO (Adaptive PSO) ... more A novel parameter automation strategy for Particle Swarm Optimization called APSO (Adaptive PSO) is proposed. The algorithm is designed to efficiently control the local search and convergence to the global optimum solution. Parameters c1 controls the impact of the cognitive component on the particle trajectory and c2 controls the impact of the social component. Instead of fixing the value of c1 and c2 , this paper updates the value of these acceleration coefficients by considering time variation of evaluation function along with varying inertia weight factor in PSO. Here the maximum and minimum value of evaluation function is use to gradually decrease and increase the value of c1 and c2 respectively. Molecular energy minimization is one of the most challenging unsolved problems and it can be formulated as a global optimization problem. The aim of the present paper is to investigate the effect of newly developed APSO on the highly complex molecular potential energy function and to check the efficiency of the proposed algorithm to find the global minimum of the function under consideration. The proposed algorithm APSO is therefore applied in two cases: Firstly, for the minimization of a potential energy of small molecules with up to 100 degrees of freedom and finally for finding the global minimum energy conformation of 1,2,3-trichloro-1-flouro-propane molecule based on a realistic potential energy function. The computational results of all the cases show that the proposed method performs significantly better than the other algorithms.

It can result in severe ventricular dysfunction during late puerperium. The major concern while managing these patients is to optimize fluid administration and avoid myocardial depression, while maintaining stable intraoperative hemodynamics. We present a case series of five parturients that were posted for elective cesarean section and managed successfully by the epidural volume extension technique.
