Preferred teaching/learning strategies included voice-over PowerPoints, simulation, case studies, guest speakers, and faculty communication.

Preferred teaching/learning strategies that incorporate asynchronous and synchronous learning should be developed. MS275 These strategies will enhance the knowledge base of nurses in all settings and…[Read more]

We predict that the antimicrobial susceptibility of the bacteria above the ECOFF pre-treatment strongly affects the composition of the bacteria following treatment. Faster removal of the antimicrobial drugs from the colon throughout the study leads to improved clearance of bacteria above the ECOFF in the low dose regimen. If we assume a fitness…[Read more]

The 2020 Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology was awarded to Drs. Harvey Alter, Michael Houghton and Charles Rice for their contributions to the discovery and characterization of the hepatitis C virus (HCV), a small, enveloped, positive-sense RNA virus belonging to the genus Hepacivirus within the Flaviviridae family. Chronic HCV infection is a…[Read more]

We investigated whether the FRAIL scale questionnaire is consistent with the Fried criteria, predicts all-cause mortality, and reflects physical dysfunction in patients with…[Read more]

A sergeants-and-soldiers (S&S) effect is very useful to the fabrication of supramolecular chirality. This strategy has not yet been explored in the construction of chiral plasmonic superstructures. Herein, we demonstrate a spatially separated S&S effect in fabricating plasmonic superstructures and modulating their chiroptical responses.…[Read more]

A lobectomy procedure for papillary thyroid carcinoma patients with clinically uninvolved neck lymph nodes (cN0) who have primary tumors (T1 or T2) could accompany prophylactic CND (ipsilateral or bilateral) to provide clearance of disease compared to total…[Read more]

terms of treatment outcome. Success could be further improved by appropriate patient selection. Using VC is time saving and can result in releasing face-to-face appointment slots for those in urgent need or newly referred patients. Further cost analysis is required; the cost of the PKG alone is more expensive than a face-to-face appointment, but…[Read more]
