This research proposal is a pilot double-blind randomized control trial evaluating the impact on diagnostic accuracy of a Clinical UltraSound (CUS) teaching for gallbladder assessment using exclusively healthy volunteers for practical sessions. Classically, a number of 25 to 50 CUS of the gallbladder is reported to achieve competency. Many CUS curricula or guidelines recommend reporting pathological cases, either a certain amount, either generically, in their core-ultrasound competency requirements. Using healthy volunteers is rarely meant to verify the hypothesis that practical sessions based on exclusively normal patterns combined with presentation of pathological ultrasound loops or images during theoretical sessions, could further allow reaching diagnostic accuracy requirements in clinical practice. In the present study, participants will be medical students in their 5th year, naïve to CUS use. Participants will be randomly be distributed between a control group undergoing a standard practical teaching on models presenting uncomplicated gallstones or normal gallbladder (no gallstones), and an intervention group undergoing a practical teaching exclusively on models presenting a normal gallbladder. Participants will be "blinded" to study endpoints as well as to group allocation. After three days of practical teaching on day 0-10-30, students will be evaluated on day 60 by 2 external investigators blinded to students group allocation. Diagnostic accuracy for gallstones will be measured using sensitivity and specificity. Statistical analysis will be performed blinded to students' name using IBM SPSS statistics 26.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). As is classical, the statistical tests will be rejected whenever the observed p-value is smaller than 0.05. Corrections for multiple testing will be used. A comparable diagnostic accuracy between groups could further support the use of healthy volunteers during practical teaching and ease clinical ultrasound curricula. Such a finding wouldn't however carry away the need for enhancing competencies during clinical practice or the need for continuing medical education, as for any medical procedure.
Guided image meditation has been shown to alter the functional circuits of the brain to alleviate pain by mediating breathing and thoughts. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate whether the intervention with guided image meditation after laparoscopic cholecystectomy can effectively alleviate postoperative pain, reduce anxiety, promote sleep quality, and increase pain control satisfaction for the patients with gallstones.

This is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, single-blind, parallel-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Chinese domestic endoscopic instrument control system in clinical treatment.
Gallbladder disease is one of the most common diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Various studies have shown an association between gallstones and an alteration in the serum lipids. The objective of this study will be to compare serum lipid profile of gallstone patients with the controls.
It is a cross sectional study in which we are tying to determine frequency of type of gall stones in our setup(Lahore, Pakistan).
