Integration has been accepted as an important educational strategy in medical education , and its introduction to the curricula of Medical schools in Iraq , together with the Problem Based Learning PBL and Objective Structured Clinical Examination OSCE, is regarded as the pavement of the way to gain the accreditation for Iraqi Medical Colleges and to update the curriculum in such away to prepare the medical students to fulfill the requirements to provide the best health service for our patients . A total and sudden change in the curricula of the medical schools , which had been the same since their foundations , seems to be inconvenient . So a gradual integration can give the teaching staff a good idea and experience to achieve a complete shift toward the ideal program and can clarify the possible difficulties in the future implementations

Introduction. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most commonly diagnosed entrapment neuropathy of the upper extremity. The objective of this study was to diagnose CTS and to assess its severity using high resolution ultrasound (HRUS) depending on the results of nerve conduction study (NCS). Methods. A prospective cross-sectional study, in which HRUS was performed at 63 wrists of 35 female patients with different severity of CTS (as proved by NCS). Furthermore, 40 healthy volunteers (80 wrists) underwent the same tests as the patients and have been chosen to match the patients in gender, age, and body mass index (BMI). The cross section area (CSA) of the median nerve (MN) was obtained using HRUS at the carpal tunnel inlet by direct tracing method. Results. There was a significant difference in the CSA of the MN at the tunnel inlet in CTS patients when compared with the control group. In fact, the CSA of the control group showed a significant difference from each of patients subgroups. Furthermore, a significant difference in the CSA was seen in between these subgroups. In conclusion, the US examination of the MN seems to be a promising method in diagnosing and grading of carpal tunnel syndrome.
