BACKGROUNDThe term ‘‘learning styles’’ refers to the concept that individuals differ in regard to what mode of instruction or study is most effective for them. Assessment of learning styles has significant importance in a sense that trainers can update their curriculum and teaching methods by taking learning styles of learners into account.The main goal of our study isto determine learning styles of resident doctors.METHODSWe used descriptive methods and quantitative analysis for our study. Honey and Mumford learning style questionnaire was used to determinelearning styles of residents. 144resident doctorsout of 475 agreed to participate in the study and completed questionnaires.RESULTSAnalysis of learning styles revealed that most common styles for residents are reflector (63.9%) and theorist (16.7%) followed bypragmatist (10.4%) and activist (9.0%). CONCLUSIONSBased on our results, we must consider increasing the mutual study and behaviour changing activities in our curriculum to helpresidents to be more independent and productive by promoting their skills of self-expression, critical and creative thinking.

The term ‘‘learning styles’’ refers to the concept that individuals differ in regard to what mode of instruction or study is most effective for them. There are some types of learning style model in the world and one of them is VARK model which was developed by N.Fleming. Teaching willbecome more effective when determine learning styles of students and teach them suitable way with their learning styles. The main goal of our study is to determine learning styles of nursing students. A descriptiveconfidential questionnaire survey was conducted on 100 students who are learning at Nursing School of MNUMS. They filled VARK questionnaire with 16 question.There are most common learning style was kinesthetic one and it means teaching will be more effective when simulation, close handed and practical sets are used and increased practice hours in the curriculum.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder of reproductive-age women, affecting an estimated 5-8% of all women in this age group. Clinically, hyperandrogenism, chronic amenorrhea, central obesity and polycystic ovary can all occur in women with PCOS and may cause of infertility. Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate is an androgenic hormone produced inadrenal cortex and recently, there is no any data determined DHEA-S in patients with PCOS.Our study was designed to evaluate obesity, central obesity, hirsute grade and infertility and to determine serum DHEA-S hormone in women with PCOS and healthy non-PCOS women.We have used a cross-sectional study design and the study included reproductive-age 36 women, of whom 18 were diagnosed with PCOS and 18 were non-PCOS. Anthropometric components were measured and ELISA test to determine serum DHEA-S hormone was analyzed for all of these women. When we analyzed ELISA test to determine serum DHEA-S hormone, DHEA-S level was2.9±2.0 µg/ ml in non-PCOS reproductive-age women and 8.0±2.1 µg/ml in women with PCOS, respectively (р=0.01). Among the women diagnosed with PCOS had higher incidence of central obesity and grade II hirsute and infertility than healthy women (p=0.001). By the result, higher level of serum DHEA-S in women diagnosed with PCOS may cause of sign of hyperandrogenism such as central obesity, infertility and hirsute.

IntroductionPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder of reproductive-age women,affecting an estimated 5-8% of all women in this age group. Clinically, hyperandrogenism, chronicanovulation, central obesity and polycystic ovary can all occur in women with PCOS and may causeof infertility. Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate is an androgenic hormone which produced from adrenalcortex and recently, there is no any data determined DHEA-S in patients with PCOS.GoalOur study was designed to determine serum DHEA-S and other hormones in women with PCOS.Materials and MethodWe have used a cross-sectional study design and the study included reproductive-age 18 women withPCOS. ELISA test to determine serum DHEA-S and other sexual hormones was analyzed for all of thesewomen.ResultWhen we analyzed ELISA test to determine serum DHEA-S and other sexual hormones, DHEA-S level8.0±2.1 μg/ml, LH level 9,45±4,3 mlU/ml, FSH level 5,04±1,1 mlU/ml, prolactin level 19,78±12,2 ng/ml, E2 hormone level 16,8±8,9pg/ml, testosterone level 0,25±0,1 ng/ml were in women with PCOS,respectively. And LH/FSH ratio was 2:1 in these women. (p=0.001).ConclusionBy the result, serum DHEA-S, LH,
