I am writing to express my views on the recently published article titled "Assessment of Selfie Addiction Among Undergraduate Medical Students" in your esteemed journal. As an assistant professor in a physiotherapy college with eight years of experience, I have been closely working with undergraduate medical students to improve their physical well-being and mental health. Given the rising trend of social media use among students, including the excessive use of selfies, I strongly believe that it is important to critically evaluate the potential consequences of such behaviour. My experience in the field of physiotherapy has allowed me to observe the negative impact of excessive social media use on both physical and mental health.

Determining a principal investigator's (PI) qualification could be complicated particularly for educational institutions. In the learning environment, it is difficult to provide students PI status. Several studies have examined the viability for student’s investigators. The purpose of this research was to discover how professors and students viewed medical students' eligibility for PIs. The institution create a data-based PI eligibility procedure was one of the secondary goals. Teachers and students at Alafia University's College of Medicine (COM) were polled using an investigation that was developed and verified by the study's authors. A total of 135 medical students, 53 academic members, including four administrators, answered. The responses percentages for instructors and students were more than fifty percent and 12%, respectively. Based on 62% of the instructors, medical students can't be PI eligible despite the control of an instructor. According to 77% of the students, they were unqualified to serve as the PI. The findings of the present investigation confirm the widespread university policy that prohibits medical students from acting as principal investigators.

Introduction: India has a large young population with limb loss, especially from low economic strata, trauma being the major cause, suddenly takes a toll on the finances of the amputees. A low-cost endo-skeletal prosthetic knee joint, named ‘Safe Gait’ has been designed and developed, with a mechanism of free knee joint with swing assist and a lock that can be operated at will and with ease by a patient at any point of time and terrain. Objective: The present study aims to assess the TFA using SGPKJ on the functional outcomes and compare to the patients wearing other imported prosthetic knee joint (OIPKJ) like polycentric knee joint, hydraulic knee joint, etc. It was hypothesized that SGPKJ would provide stability and mobility at a very low cost and thus could be an option for non-affording TFA. Methods: This was an ‘Open-label’ study. The participants who satisfied the inclusion criteria were divided into two groups based on their prosthetic options, they were compared on functional measures like single limb stance time in a sec, Time Up and Go Test, & Six Minutes’ Walk Test. Results: Show single-limb stance as 1.39 sec & 1.48 sec; Gait speed as 1.37 m/sec & 141m/sec in Safe Gait Prosthetic Knee Joint and Other Imported Prosthetic Knee Joint resp. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in other parameters viz. TUG & 6MWT. Conclusion: The participants with SGPKJ were found to be compatible with mobility and stability on various locomotor tests.
