To conduct an on line Flipped Class Room (FCR) to facilitate synchronous (in class activity) and asynchronous learning [Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)] and acquire feedback of the learning experience from medical students at Aga Khan University. ⋯ The innovative model of FCR through facilitation of synchronous and asynchronous learning empowered student's engagement and interactive learning. Students perceived this as a great learning experience which they enjoyed with positive reinforcement from feedback given by the facilitators. They suggested continuation of this model for further learning sessions in other modules of undergraduate medical education at Aga Khan University.

To determine the incidence of anatomical variants of sinonasal region and its correlation with symptoms of sinusitis. ⋯ The anatomy of sinonasal region is highly complex. However, anatomical variants can disturb the sinus mucociliary drainage pathway resulting in patient suffering. Therefore, considering the variable anatomy of sinonasal region, CT-PNS is recommended for every subject in order to avoid surgical hazards.

To evaluate the application value of dynamic enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) in the clinical diagnosis in hospital based on the fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm and conduct its cost-benefit analysis in practice. ⋯ The application of MRI in the Clinical Diagnosis helps hospital promote the therapeutic effect, thus having great practical value, and also contributes to increasing benefits in the long run.

Aiming at the problem of low accuracy in extracting small blood vessels from existing retinal blood vessel images, a retinal blood vessel segmentation method based on a combination of a multi-scale linear detector and local and global enhancement is proposed. ⋯ The segmentation accuracy is high, and better blood vessel segmentation results can be obtained.

The paper uses ultrasound Doppler fetal heart rate detection algorithm to explore the placental characteristics of monochorionic twin pregnancy with selective fetal growth restriction, and discuss the correlation between selective fetal growth restriction and cord blood SFass FasL level. ⋯ Uneven placental share and non-central attachment of the umbilical cord may be risk factors for selective fetal growth restriction in monochorionic twin pregnancy.
