In FOOTED TRAY recent years, in-depth studies have shown that extracellular matrix stiffness plays an important role in cell growth, proliferation, migration, immunity, malignant transformation, and apoptosis.Most of these processes entail metabolic reprogramming of cells.However, the exact mechanism through which extracellular matrix stiffness lea
Elimination testing with adapted scoring reduces guessing and anxiety in multiple-choice assessments, but does not increase grade average in comparison with negative marking.
BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESES:This study is the first to offer an in-depth comparison of elimination testing with the scoring rule of Arnold & Arnold (hereafter referred to as elimination testing with adapted scoring) and negative marking.As such, this study is motivated by the search for an alternative for negative marking that still discourages guess
Post-traumatic endophthalmitis prophylaxis with oral ciprofloxacin in comparison to intravenous cephazolin/gentamicin
Background: Although posttraumatic endophthalmitis is an uncommon condition, it causes severe complications, so medical and pharmacological interventions for prevention of endophthalmitis after trauma are a major concern.The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and clinical outcome of oral ciprofloxacin versus intravenous cefazolin/gentam
Dynamic modelling of improved diagnostic testing for drug-resistant tuberculosis in high burden settings
Abstract Background Limited diagnostic testing for drug-resistant TB (DR-TB) may lead to high rates of misdiagnosis and undertreatment.Current diagnostic tests focus only on detection of rifampicin-resistant TB (RR-TB).This study aims to determine the impact of improved diagnostic testing for a wider range of drug resistance on DR-TB People Figurin
