The popularity of the term "integrated curriculum" has grown immensely in medical education over last two decades, but what does this mean and how do we go about its design, implementation, evaluation? Definitions application vary greatly literature, spanning from integration content within a single lecture to school's comprehensive curriculum. Taking into account integrated curriculum's historic evolving base knowledge theory, support many national organizations, ever-increasing body...
BACKGROUND: Although oral appliances are effective in some patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), they not universally effective. A novel anterior mandibular positioner (AMP) has been developed an adjustable hinge that allows progressive advancement of the mandible. The objective this prospective crossover study was to compare efficacy, side effects, patient compliance, and preference between AMP nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) symptomatic mild moderate OSA. METHODS:...
To examine factors associated with blood exposure and percutaneous injury among health care workers, we assessed occupational risk factors, compliance standard precautions, frequency of exposure, reporting in a stratified random sample 5123 physicians, nurses, medical technologists working Iowa community hospitals. Of these, 3223 (63%) participated. Mean rates hand washing (32%-54%), avoiding needle recapping (29%-70%), underreporting sharps injuries (22%-62%; overall, 32%) varied by...
Physical education programs represent an important gateway for encouraging young people to develop life-long exercise habits. In this study of middle school students (N = 603), attitudes toward physical education, knowledge about the benefits exercise, and beliefs one's abilities were assessed determine their influence on intent current behavior. As predicted, perceived behavior, self-esteem, gender contributed significantly independently (total variance explained 37%). Exercise intent,...
Oral appliances for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) produce either mandibular or tongue protrusion, and are thought to enlarge upper airway (UA). We used videoendoscopy measure UA cross-sectional area (CSA) shape in hypopharynx, oropharynx, velopharynx during various stages active protrusion wakefulness 10 patients with OSA nine control subjects. Measurements were made supine position at end-tidal expiration, normalized CSA normal bite position. Airway was expressed as...
• Because the significant health risks related to postmenopausal osteoporosis can be reduced by estrogen replacement therapy (ERT), this study assessed women's attitudes toward ERT assess factors that might increase its use. Results showed women taking were more likely know decreased levels lead osteoporosis, perceive menopause is a medical condition, believe natural approaches are less preferable, seeing gynecologist for care, and should take hot flashes. The suggests systematic educational...
For medical schools, the increasing presence of women makes it especially important that potential sources gender bias be identified and removed from student evaluation methods. Our study looked for patterns in adjective data used to inform our Medical Student Performance Evaluations (MSPEs). Multigroup Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was model latent structure adjectives attributed students (n = 657) test systematic scoring errors by gender. Gender evident two areas: (a) were more likely...
Purpose To investigate what is meant by learning community in medical education and to identify the most important features of current communities. Method After a literature review, authors surveyed academic deans all U.S. Canadian schools colleges (N = 124) those that had implemented community. Those with student communities 18) answered series questions about goals, structure, function, benefits, challenges their Results The common primary goals included fostering communication among...
In patients with heart failure (HF), the predominant type of sleep apnoea can change over time in association alterations circulation time. The aim this study was to determine whether, some HF, a spontaneous shift from mainly central (>50% events) obstructive (CSA and OSA, respectively) coincides improvement left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Therefore, studies LVEFs HF CSA control arm Canadian Continuous Positive Airway Pressure for Patients Central Sleep Apnea Heart Failure...
The purpose of this article is to describe the reasons people give for deciding lose weight compared by history and gender sample consisted 162 Caucasian community volunteers. Data were obtainedfrom an extensive open-ended interview that was analyzed using content analysis. Respondents categorized into five groups, according their success at loss: Successful, Always Normal Weight, Underweight, Clinically Obese. Successful Obese included in category Unsuccessful Dieter Reasons given entering...
PURPOSE: To investigate the measurement characteristics of standardized clinical evaluation forms (CEFs) used to assign grades for clerkship performance. METHOD: In 1996-97, authors reviewed 5,168 CEFs completed 175 students in eight clerkships. Limiting their analysis three clerkships that produced most CEFs, conducted a generalizability study determine five variance components each clerkship. A decision then calculated coefficients and standard errors varied numbers raters CEF items....
Purpose To make a preliminary assessment of the perceptions health professions students about interprofessional cooperation. Method Health (588 from eight professions) at Iowa Geriatric Education Center's partner institutions received questionnaire demographics questions and Interdisciplinary Perception Scale (IEPS). The IEPS is an 18-item that uses six-point Likert-type scale to measure attitudes toward cooperation on four factors: competence autonomy, perceived need for cooperation,...
While reflection on experiences and attitudes related to death can be an important component of learning care for the dying, opportunities within medical school curriculum promote learner are often limited.To describe implementation evaluation activities in end-of-life self-reflection student concerns thoughts revealed through exercises.Within a lecture-based course care, second-year students participated four self-reflection, including: (1) visualizing their own deaths; (2) documenting with...
In this paper we describe the development of a performance piece based on patients' stories interacting with health care providers, its introduction into curriculum to dramatise patient's perspective care, and evaluation student responses.The piece, entitled Their Own Words, was created from transcripts interviews authors who wrote about their experiences illness. Over past 4 years, students have performed as dramatic reading part required course for Year 1 medical students.Analysis...
There is little information regarding the behaviour of extra Y chromosome during meiosis I in men with 47,XYY karyotypes and segregation sex chromosomes sperm. We applied immunofluorescent FISH techniques to study relationship between configuration meiotic germ cells pattern sperm, both isolated from semen samples a infertile man.The pachytene was determined by immunostaining nuclei for synaptonemal complex protein 3 (SCP3) SCP1. subsequently performed identify 18 cells. Dual- triple-color...
In 1999, the University of Iowa Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College Medicine (UICCOM) established a student management model consisting four student-style learning communities (LCs), each comprising one quarter students from class, with goal fostering connection, excellence, learning, leadership, service. The authors present results prospective evaluation medical students' perceptions emerging LCs their impact on life at UICCOM.A two-page questionnaire, administered in 1999 again 2003 to...
To promote student learning, educational strategies should provide multiple levels of engagement with the subject matter. This study investigated examination data from five first year medical gross anatomy class cohorts (692 students) to determine if enhanced performance was correlated learning through dissection in a course that used rotating schedule coupled peer teaching and other associated experiences. When students performed two weekly dissections for given unit, their average scores...
