Does oS 30-05 GENETIC RISK SCORE determine DIPPING PROFILE IN PATIENTS WITH CORONARY HEART DISEASE?
In the present study, polymorphisms of genes related to CHD (MIA3, MRAS, PCSK9, SMG6, and ZC3HC1) were associated with non-dipping SBP and DBP profile and GRS18 was associated with non-dipping status. In addition, this profile was related to a higher risk of revascularization.
Most students were dissatisfied with rural community postings and the major reason for dissatisfaction was lack of interest in rural communities. A properly organized rural community posting is capable of changing the negative attitude of the students towards life and medical practice in the rural area. Adequate orientation of the students on the relevance of the posting, good community exposure and enhanced student lecturer interactions during the posting period could ensure satisfaction of the students. There should be a targeted evaluation of the rural community posting at the various medical schools in the country with the aim of strengthening and modifying the posting where necessary so as to ensure its purpose is realized.
