Gender differences in various psychological constructs are a common phenomenon. This study has been designed to investigate the gender differences if any, in the reasons given for academic procrastination in undergraduate students. For this purpose, 200 high academic procrastinators (113 males and 87 females) in the age group 17-19 years were selected by administering PAAS. The frequency of the reasons given by high procrastinators was calculated by using percentage analysis. Laziness and time management were the two most cited explanations for procrastination. The reasons given by both the genders were compared using chi square. Results revealed that gender does not influence the excuses that males and females provide for academic procrastination.

Shade Selection

Shade selection is a very important part of the treatment as it dictates the final outcomes of treatment and patient satisfaction. The most prevalent shade used in dentistry is A2/B2 shade for crown fabrication. This study was conducted on the south Indian population of the Saveetha dental college university where out of 617 patients were analysed so that the shade choices used in crown fabrication is assessed. This university based study involved the collection of data from the database from which cases of crown fabrication shade were selected and cross verified. All the data was compiled and tabulated in Microsoft Excel and exported to IBM SPSS 20. Data was represented through frequency distribution tables and Chi square tests. The highest frequency of shade used for crown fabrication amongst the South Indian population was A2 in males and females, the second most commonly used shade was A1 in females and A3 in males. Within the limitation of this study, it was found that the most common shade for crown fabrication used in the south Indian population was A2 shade, followed by A3 shade in males and A1 shade in females. The least commonly used shade was A4. The maximum cases which had a requirement of crown fabrication with esthetically pleasing shade were under the age group of 21 - 30 yrs.

Self-disclosure and marital satisfaction were studied among 125 males and females who were in their first remarriage. Essentially equal numbers had remarried in mid-life (ages 30–45) and late-life (ages 60–75). The multidimensional Wheeless self-disclosure scales and Locke-Wallace measure of marital satisfaction were employed. Mid-life versus late-life differences were evident for the amount, and depth of disclosure, but not for intentionality, valence or honesty of disclosure. No gender differences were manifested in self-disclosure. Marital satisfaction was greatest for late-life remarriages, and this was due to the high level of male satisfaction in this age group.

Background: To analyze gender differences regarding the recovery experience (pain, function, complications) after spinal arthrodesis surgery. Methods: Pre-operative and post-operative gender-based differences in patient-reported outcomes for open posterior spinal arthrodesis at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year were studied, including age, comorbidities, body mass index (BMI), diagnosis, number of vertebrae fused, type of surgery, primary vs. revision surgery, and complications. Statistical analysis included the use of Student’s t-test, Chi square, linear regression, Mann–Whitney U test, and Spearman’s rho. Results: Primary or revision posterior arthrodesis was performed on 1931 consecutive adults (1219 females, 712 males) for deformity and degenerative pathologies. At surgery, females were older than males (61.7 years vs. 59.7 years, p < 0.01), had slightly more comorbidities (1.75 vs. 1.5, p < 0.01), and were more likely to undergo deformity correction (38% vs. 22%, p < 0.01). Females described more pre-op pain (female VAS = 6.54 vs. male VAS = 6.41, p < 0.01) and lower pre-op function (female ODI = 49.73 vs. male ODI = 46.52, p < 0.01). By 3 months post-op, there was no significant gender difference in VAS or ODI scores. Similar pain and function scores between males and females continued through 6 months and 12 months. Conclusion: Although females have more pain and dysfunction before undergoing spinal surgery, the differences in these values do not reach the Minimum Clinically Important Difference (MCID). Post-operatively, there is no difference in pain and function scores among males and females at 3, 6, and 12 months.

The study examined Academic Stress and drug abuse as factors inhibiting psychological well-being among undergraduate students and its counselling implications. Three faculties in IBB University were purposively selected for the study and 90 students were randomly selected in the three faculties for the study. Three instruments (PPPWQ, ASRS. and DAST.) that were validated by experts and with confirmed reliabilities were used for the study. Each instrument was administered on the respondents and retrieved by the researcher with the efforts of 3 research assistants.Simple percentage, Rank order and chi-square were used for bio-data and the analysis of data respectively. The findings revealed that, lack of time management, text anxiety, uncoverage of course contents and difficult in course component are the causes of academic stress among students. The intake of drugs makes the students feel lonely, sexual urge, Bullying, poor Odour, among others, Sweating, accelerated heart rate, trembling, maladjustment, fear of failure, among others are the nasty effects of academic stress and drug abuse on their personalities as such, inhibiting their psychological well-being. It was vividly seen that academic stress and drug abuse are significant factors that inhibit psychological well-being of students. Based on the findings, the counsellor could use systematic desensitization technique to discourage drug use among students and seminars, advocacy programmes, among others, are recommended to help the students.

Introduction: Stroke is a known complication of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) and this complication is more common in patients with accompanying atrial fibrillation (AF). However, data regarding gender related differences with respect to this complication is sparse. Objective: We sought to understand the gender differences in rates of stroke in patients with HOCM with and without AF. Methods: The Nationwide Inpatient Sample was queried from 2010 to 2014 using ICD-9 codes 425.1 and 425.11 for HOCM in all diagnosis fields. AF was identified by ICD-9 code 427.31. We excluded patients with an indicator for transfer to another acute-care facility to reduce the possibility of data duplication. Chi-square was used for statistical analysis. Results: From 2010 to 2014, we identified 73,347 patients with HOCM (Mean age 63.76 ± 16.5 years; females 59% and Caucasians 67.5%). The overall rate of ischemic stroke in this cohort was 2153 (2.9%). Rate of ischemic stroke between males and females was similar (2.9% vs 3%; p <0.001). AF was present in 26,393 (36%), male vs female (39.4% vs 33.7%; p <0.001). Overall, prevalence of stroke in HOCM patients with and without AF was significant 3.5% vs 2.6%; p<0.001. Between males and females, the rates of stroke in HOCM patients with and without AF were not different (3.5% vs 3.5%, p =0.4 and 2.4% vs 2.7%; p =0.9). Conclusion: Although stroke rates were higher in HOCM patients with AF, stroke rates were similar in both genders of HOCM patients with and without AF. It is important to consider anticoagulation in these patients to reduce the risk of stroke.

Negative Relationships

The research aimed to clarify the relationships between spirituality, gender, and drug use among undergraduate students of one university in Barbados. A quota sample of 250 students was required from the Faculty of Social Sciences as the study was part of a larger multi-centric study involving students from the Faculty of Social Sciences from seven other participating countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. Significant negative relationships were found between a student's level of spirituality and their licit and illicit drug use over the past 12 and three months. Males and females also differed significantly in terms of illicit drug use (past 12 and three months). However no gender differences were found as it related to licit drug use. Moreover, females possessed significantly higher levels of spirituality than their male counterparts. Further qualitative research should be conducted among this age group within the Barbadian context to better explain these findings.

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a fibrin matrix in which platelet cytokines, growth factors, and cells are trapped and may be released after a certain time and that can serve as a resorbable membrane. In other words, it is an increased concentration of platelets suspended in a matrix which can serve as a vehicle to carry cells involved in tissue regeneration. This survey aimed at assessing the knowledge and awareness of Platelet-rich fibrin among dental students. The study was done in an online setting among the dental students of the Chennai population. The sample size of 150 participants of the age group 20-23 years, both males and females were selected by a simple random sampling method. Both descriptive (frequency of the responses) and inferential statistics (Chi-square tests) were done and the results were presented in the forms of graphs. According to this survey-based study, it was noted that the majority of participants were comprised of females (67%). It was observed that 87% of the population participated in the study were aware of the term PRF (ie. platelet-rich fibrin) whereas 13% of the population was not aware of the term. The statistical association between gender and the awareness of PRF, its advantages, and components was found to be significant (p<0.05), with females having more awareness than males. Within the limitations of this study, we can conclude that while dental students are aware of PRF they do not have extensive knowledge of its components and its application in various procedures. It was also observed that there was a disparity in awareness between the genders where females were much aware compared to males. We propose to include this knowledge of PRF in the curriculum to ensure increased awareness of PRF among dental students.

This study examined the validity of the Eccles et al. (1983) theoretical model of achievement behaviors using data from the Second International Mathematics Study. With the achievement behavior defined as performance (mathematics achievement), the dominant effects of the value of mathematics and expectations for success that are hypothesized by the model were not apparent, and effects differed for males and females. There were more direct and indirect influences on achievement from the psychological constructs for females, suggesting that the explanation of mathematics achievement within the context of this model was more complicated for females than for males.
