Item Interactivity in Goodsalls’ Rule and Fistula-in-ano(International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (IJTSRD), 2020) Samaranayake, G.V.P.; Chandimal, K.M.Fistula-in-ano is a tract lined by granulation tissue which opens deeply in the anal canal or rectum and superficially on the skin around the anus. Managing fistula-in-ano is a challenging task. Because recognizing the internal opening and cause of the fistula tract is difficult. goth external and internal openings of the fistula tract are essential for the complete identification of the tract. The purpose of the present study was to study the relevance between Goodsall's rule and course of the fistula tract. A sample of 106 patients with simple fistula was studied. In this study Hydrogen Peroxide was injected by using syringe through the external opening of the fistula and seenthe appearance of air bubbles which are come out from the internal opening. The site and number of internal and external openings and the course of the tract were recorded, The median age of the participants was 37 years. The majority were male 157.54%). Thirty one point one percent (31.1%) showed intersphincteric fistula, 51,8% showed transphincteric fistula and 16.9% had superficial fistula. The overall predictive accuracy of Goodsail's ruie in studied group was 68.30/o. It is significantly associated with the type of fistula. The high predictive accuracy in superficial fistula (94.4%), intersphincteric fistula (84.4%) and transphicteric fistula (69.09%) were observed. It was concluded that, Goodsalls'rule was not accurate in 31.7% of all fistulae; it can be used as a guide in locating the course of the tract and the internal opening.Item A Survey on the attitudes of the Ayurveda medical students toward cadaver dissection(Annual academic sessions 2019 –Anatomical Society of Sri Lanka, Faculty of Medicine, University of Peradeniya ,Sri Lanka, 2019) Abegunasekara, N.S.; Chandimal, K.M.Cadaveric dissection is a fundamental tool in teaching anatomy Although this facilitates students to understand the theories and the concepts of the discipline, presently cadavefic dissections seems to be reduced due to negative attitudes such as exposure to hazardous chemicals: and time consumption among other things. In this study. the attitudes of Ayurveda medical students 10M ards the cadaveric dissection were analyzed during their BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurveda Medicine and Surge1Y) course. This a cross- sectional study. Data were collected from students of Gampaha Wickramarachchi Ayurveda Institute, University of Kelaniya who have completed Anatomy course in Preclinical phase. A self-administered questionnaire in five point Likert scale was given to 110 students. This study revealed that 67% of the respondents found their first visit to the dissection hall exciting and 90% were shocked to see the cadaver for the first time. Between 60% and 94% of students held positive attitudes towards the dissection. Ninety-four per cent of the students were detenninecl. interested, and ready to study anatomy with cadaveric dissection. Eighty-five per cent students reported that the undergraduate curriculum should include the dissection method for teaching modality of Anatomy. Hundred per cent of students have showed a sense of gratitude to the people and/or the relatives who had donated their bodies. Although dissections have gixen an unpleasant experience for mgiority of BAMS graduates at the beginning they conclude that cadaveric dissections ave an essential part of teaching Anatomy in 13AMS degree program.
