https://dpcj.org/index.php/dpc/article/view/6129/3824 I want to create a Journal Club ppt on The dangers of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals. The ppt should be of around 40 slides. All the content should only be from the article i shared in the form link. Make organised boxes / flowchart/ arrows if anywhere possible so that it's easy to memorize. Each slide should contain maximum 5 points and if the topic can’t be covered in 1 slide , it can be continued on further slides. Font size in the ppt should be atleast 23 And all the font should be in Times New Roman. All the slides should have Slide number in the bottom right corner. The first slide should tell about the Journal Club name , Author , Place of Study , Year of Study , Type of Study. Presenter - Dr Anuj jain Moderator - Dr KS Dhillon The topics covered should be following: 1. Introduction 2. Objective 3. Patient and methods a) Ethical considerations B)study design and inclusion criteria C)sample size calculation D)study groups,Randomization and blinding E)pre intervention patient evaluation F)intervention and procedures G)follow up H)statistical analysis 4. Main characteristics on exposure to Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals 5.Results a)Study population b)baseline characteristics of treated patients c)clinical characteristics of affected nails d)improvment in OSI e)improvement in paronychia f)improvement in Dermoscopic Characteristics g)KOH and fungal culture Findings h)Cure rates i)Patients-Reported adverse outcomes J)predictors of OSI improvement 6)Discussion 7)Conclusions Make sure the all the important points are covered that a dermatologist should know. Also include Figure 1, 2 ,3 in the appropriate repective topic slides. Make sure there are no mistakes. The ppt should be well organised and make clean slide don’t over create the slide simple and normal slide
