To identify the learning strategies used by the medical students with high Grit for design and implementation of a three months course, to assist the medical students having low Grit. ⋯ Good planning, Mastery learning and self-regulation are the reasons for success of Gritty students. The learning strategies with the name "RESET-P- GOALS" are effective in enhancing Grit in students with less score on Grit.

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is an immune-mediated condition causing thrombocytopenia and paradoxical thrombosis after exposure to heparin or low-molecular-weight heparin. It has been rarely reported by Fondaparinux, an artificial pentasaccharide similar to heparin. This manuscript presents a case of HIT associated with fondaparinux use.
