To be an informed citizen in today's information-rich environment, individuals must able to evaluate information they encounter on the Internet. However, teachers currently have limited options if want assess students' evaluations of digital content. In response, we created a range short tasks that civic online reasoning—the ability effectively search for, evaluate, and verify social political online. Assessments ranged from paper-and-pencil open Internet delivered via Google Forms. We...
Background Young people increasingly turn to the Internet for information about social and political issues. However, they struggle evaluate trustworthiness of encounter online. Aims This pilot study investigated whether a focused curricular intervention could improve university students’ ability make sound judgements credibility. Sample Participants ( n = 67) were students in four sections ‘critical thinking writing’ course at on West Coast United States. Course randomly assigned treatment...
In recent years — and especially since the 2016 presidential election numerous media organizations, newspapers, policy advocates have made efforts to help Americans become more careful consumers of information they see online. K-12 higher education, main approach has been provide students with checklists can use assess credibility individual websites. However, checklist is outdated. It would be far better teach young people follow lead professional fact-checkers: When confronted by a new...
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced college students to spend more time online. Yet many studies show that struggle discern fact from fiction on the Internet. A small body of research suggests in face-to-face settings can improve at judging credibility online sources. But what about asynchronous remote instruction? In an nutri-tion course a large state university, we embedded modules taught how vet web-sites using checkers’ strategies. Chief among these strategies was lateral reading, act...
Background. Some investigators have shown that the initial placement of a catheter or graft, instead timely construction an arteriovenous fistula (AVF), late referral to nephrology services and unplanned dialysis increase morbidity mortality in chronic haemodialysis (CHD) patients. Furthermore, delay providing adequate AVF entails significant increases treatment-related costs. This study was limited analysis effects lack vascular access for CHD on mortality.
There is a growing interest in the evaluation of Health Related Quality Life (HRQoL) among patients undergoing Renal Replacement Therapy. In Spain, no specific questionnaire exists for kidney transplant patients. Here we present Spanish validation first HRQoL assessment tool: (KTQ). Prospective study 31 on waiting list who received kidney. Patients were evaluated before and after 1, 3, 6 12 months, using KTQ SF-36 Survey. Feasibility, validity, reliability, sensibility to change evaluated....
Health-Related Quality of Life patients with heart transplantation is an important variable; however, it has received little attention so far, and only two Spanish validated measurement instruments are available. The aim our study was to validate the version Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) in transplant patients.A prospective performed 186 awaiting nine hospitals. Hundred recipients filled out KCCQ, Euroqol 5-D (EQ5D), Short Form-36 (SF-36) Health Survey at pretransplant,...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival patients initiating haemodialysis (HD), and analyse whether low health-related quality life (HRQoL) levels are predictors mortality in short-term, controlling certain variables that had been shown other studies have a bearing on survival, using scores, standardized for age sex, HRQoL measurement tool employed.This is multicentric prospective all HD dialysis units Asturias, region with little over one million inhabitants, from 1 January 2001...
Background. Although health-related quality of life (HRQoL) patients with a renal transplantation is an important variable, it has received little attention and only few Spanish validated measurement instruments are available. The aim this study was to assess the psychometric properties version End Stage Renal Disease Symptom Checklist–Transplantation Module (ESRD-SCL), specific questionnaire for measuring HRQoL kidney transplant patients. Methods. This prospective validate ESRD-SCL included...
Noninvasive tests measuring cellular immunity could help predict immunologic risk and subsequent allograft dysfunction in transplant patients. CD25 is a promising marker of activation. Recent descriptions CD127 expression as discriminating factor between regulatory activated T cells suggest its potential utility.Expression CD4+CD25 was analyzed by flow cytometry peripheral blood from 62 renal transplanted patients 30 healthy controls. Forty presented stable graft function 22 suffered...
