Aim: 1) To compare serum electrolyte levels (sodium and potassium levels) in cerebral Infarction and cerebral hemorrhage. 2) To compare serum electrolytes in thalamic and other intracranial hemorrhages. Material and Methods: In this retrospective type of study, we compared serum electrolyte levels of 70 patients, 45 diagnosed as cerebral infarction with the 25 patients, diagnosed as cerebral hemorrhage. The sample for electrolyte analysis was collected within first 24 hrs of onset of the event. Result: Statistical analysis was done by Z test and independent t test using SPSS 16 which showed statistically no significant difference in serum electrolyte levels in both groups there was also no statistical difference in serum electrolyte levels in thalamic hemorrhages compared to other intracranial hemorrhages. Conclusion: Electrolyte imbalance is common in cerebrovascular accidents and needs to be intervene as early as possible irrespective of the type of cerebral insult. Correction of electrolytes imbalance can help in better prognosis of the patient and may avoid complications.Keywords

The written assessment of medical students is very important in view of assessing the various levels of cognitive domains. The validity of any assessment depends upon the appropriate constriction of assessment tool. Framing an ideal theory assessment tool that covers the whole syllabus with proportionate weightage to various content areas according to their importance is big challenge for the paper setter. Considering the vast nature of Community Medicine syllabus constructing a theory assessment tool as per above said ideals is still more difficult. Blueprinting of syllabus i.e. covering all the content areas with allocating proportionate weightage to various content areas can overcome this issue and helps the paper setter to construct a uniform and valid assessment tool. Department of Community medicine has constructed such two blue prints that can be used for either formative or summative type of theory examination.Keywords
