VAMSCON.

VMMC and Safdarjung hospital is a

premier institute of medical education in the country and it is

indeed a great privilege to be associated with its annual

conference. This event would bring forth the best in students

by exchange of ideas, viewpoints, and opportunity to learn

and also get a chance to widen their horizons.

Message from Patron

It is a privilege for me to be the Patron of VAMSCON -the conference of undergraduate Medical students being organised at Vardhman Mahavir Medical College and Safdarjung Hospital in the very first month of my taking over as the Principal of this College. I am sure that a conference of such nature will give the students a great opportunity to present their research to their peers and professors in the field. In addition the workshops during this conference will help them in acquiring some basic technical skills. But most importantly this conference will also be able to provide a great platform to the students from different medical colleges in the country to network with their peers from other institutions on academic and social front. The experience gained by the undergraduates in organizing such an event will be useful to them later in their professional career in holding bigger academic events. However there is a word of caution – such a conference at the level of undergraduates must not undermine the importance of regular intensive classroom teaching. I wish the participants of the conference all success.

enjoyable experience for you.

Dr. Vidya Jha

Co-advisor, VAMSCON

Message from the President,

Student Scientific Society

It has been a hell of an experience. VAMSCON 2016 is a

dream come true for me. It was VAMSCON that reignited the

scientific curiosity in me. After the immensely successful VAMSCON 2015, I

envisioned a conference that truly represented the scientific spirit- a conference

to make the undergraduates aware about the importance of medical research

and inspire them to pursue research oriented activities and professions. That

vision with the help and support of the entire Student Scientific Society got

transformed into a reality: VAMSCON 2016.

I’d like to wish all the delegates a very best of luck for the conference. Hope you

have an enlightening experience.

Conclave- The Panel Discussion

Coordinators:

⦁ Ashini Patel

⦁ Karan Barat

⦁ Raghuraj Chawla

⦁ Shagun Singh

⦁ V.Sai Saurabh

Medical professionals must constantly adapt and evolve their way of thinking. They

should develop newer ideas in order to ensure a better quality of service. In short, an

ideal medical professional must have an innovative bent of mind.

Keeping this in mind, CONCLAVE : INNOVANDO…..Ideas that Revolutionize Healthcare,

invited medical students from across the nation to present innovative ideas that they

thought would change the face of healthcare system in this nation. The teams

presented their ideas and proposals in form of a presentation in front of a panel. This

was followed by discussion with the panellists, eminent personalities invited from

institutions like AIIMS, ICMR, MCI etc., where the idea was analysed and quizzed upon.

Keeping in view the theme of Vamscon-2016, the topic of Conclave has been decided

to be “Ideas that revolutionize health care.”

Basic Idea: The participants need to come up with an innovative, elegant and original idea which

can be potentially implemented and bring about change in the relevant aspect. The

idea should fall broadly under any of the 4 aspects of healthcare –

Management

Awareness

Ethical issues

Scientific innovation.

However, other aspects related to healthcare might be included too. The idea should

be feasible keeping in mind the resources available. Their Idea will be judged by

panellists on the basis of following factors:

The originality of the idea

Hypothesis (what is your proposal)

14|VAMSCON

Methodology

Practicability of the idea- including factors like feasibility.

Potential obstacles

Literature review

Original research

Video/Enactment

On the Panel: 1. Dr Swati Sharma, Scientist, TIFAC, Department of Science and Technology, Govt

MODERATOR- Dr AK Mandal, HOD, Department of Pathology, VMMC & SJH

TEAM 1 –ACMS 'Set up a disaster response club in medical colleges of Delhi'

The basic idea is to set up a Disaster Response Club (DRC) in medical colleges of Delhi

and thereafter in India. These clubs will link medical colleges actively with various

organisations involved in disaster and disease outbreak response e.g.- National Centre

for Disease Control (NDCC), National Institute of Disaster Management (NIDM),

Ministry of Health & Family Welfare(MOHFW) and concerned international NGOs.

Nodal persons from the respective organisations will be linked with these DRC clubs.

DRC clubs will have student volunteers across all professionals of MBBS mentored by

faculties (intra and inter institutional). The role of these DRCs will be to provide

disaster mitigation and preparedness activities and if required provide support in

disaster and epidemic response activities

TEAM 2- Government Medical College, Amritsar 'Organ donation'

It is well known that iron is key player required for survival and proliferation of

mycobacterial tuberculosis. It has to carefully balance iron acquisition with iron uptake

for its proliferation. This iron metabolism of tubercle bacilli can be disrupted to

interfere with survival and replication.

TEAM 3-Government Medical College, Amritsar 'On the move against tuberculosis-Transforming the fight towards

elimination.'

Organ donation has been slow to take off in India, where nearly 8000 people die per

million population yet only 0.26 of them donate organs. In the northern states, the

pace has been disturbingly sluggish. More alarming is the glaring absence of any

attempts to understand the reasons behind this failure. Research is little. Documents

and data which highlight the problem are scarce. Recognizing these dire

circumstances, the study has been taken up. The purpose of this study is to know the

factors of this cause and creating awareness for the same.

'Vitamin D supplementation as a means of reducing the incidence of TB

in patients of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus'

There have been multiple cross sectional studies associating lower levels of vitaminD

with increased infection. Our hypothesis focuses on giving vitD as a prophylaxis to

patients who have developed type2 diabetes mellitus and might develop TB later (as

they are at increased risk of developing the disease).

'Empowering upper limb amputees-creating a prosthetic hand that can

feel tactile sensations'

A prosthetic hand that can feel tactile sensations when combined with 3D printed

movable arms or bionic arms can almost replace the loss of the actual limb. In this

proposal we hypothesize a method by which upper limb amputees might be able to

feel tactile sensations on their phantom limb by using sensors on prosthetic arm and

implantable devices for generating the sensations on the face or upper arm. Signals

from the sensors would travel wirelessly through radiofrequency waves to the pistons

which would get fooled into believing that these sensations actually originated in the

phantom limb.

HINDAC System (Healthcare INtegrated Database Accessible via Card System)

The main purpose of our idea is to create an interface between the patient and the

doctor that will allow easy access to medical records through a 'Smart Card'. Apart

from the basic life information on the card, information will be stored in the central

data centre.

The information stored in the database can be accessed exclusively by certified

doctors as well as health care individuals/authorities using the card and also by the

patient's fingerprints.

how to perform research. The interaction with a team of esteemed faculties from

different departments and their unique blend of knowledge and experience in this

field intended to help the inspired and ignited minds to come forward for research

which is much needed in our society today. The students were taught a sequential

method of research which was started with a brief introduction and included

formulation of research and study designs, review of literature. From sample size

calculation to data analysis all the techniques and tools and their standardizations

were covered. The workshop included an interesting and special hands on for data

is a challenge to the pathologists. Various prognostic and therapeutic markers have

come up which can be detected through Immunohistochemistry. We will also be

taking up a session which deals with the most common cancer in Indian females that

is cervical cancer. Both routine screening (Pap smear) as well as liquid based cytology

are included in our workshop. Therefore this session tends to correlate the screening,

diagnosis as well as management in Onco-pathology. Hope you find the workshop

exciting and educational.

The Sports Injury Centre in its present form has

reached to its present heights from a small unit

known as “Sports Injury Centre” working under

the aegis of Central Institute of Orthopaedics,

Safdarjung Hospital during 1995. The dedicated team of doctors and staff of SIC

were provided specialized treatment of sports

related injuries and disorders to the sports

men/women of the country and personnel of Para Military forces which were being

referred to this unit from all over the country.

The govt. of India, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, heeding to the long felt need

of the nation and considering the volume of the work being handled by the “Sports

Injury Unit” in the field of sports related injuries, decided to establish a modern Sports

Injury Centre in the vicinity of Safdarjung Hospital which had become imminent in view

of the ensuing Commonwealth Games, 2010 as well.

It has an inpatient capacity of 35 beds in two

wards which contain 4 bedded / 3 bedded /

facilities. The centre has 3 world class

integrated modular operation theatres with

facility of video conferencing.
