The historical tendency to view medicine as both an art and a science may have contributed to a disinclination among clinicians towards cognitive science. In particular, this has had an impact on the approach towards the diagnostic process which is a barometer of clinical decision-making behaviour and is increasingly seen as a yardstick of…

In this paper, an analysis is carried out to review the comparison of the mean EEG power between groups of ASD students in terms of duration <3 years, 3 to 9 years and =9 years, so that a significant difference can be seen. In this study, 33 ASD students were observed using EEG, which had a sampling frequency of 500 Hz with eight electrodes at…

This communication describes an updated experiment of peptide synthesis, involving determination of the loading capacity of a Fmoc-protected amino functionalized resin using UV-vis spectroscopy and a subsequent synthesis of a dipeptide in order to exemplify the experimental solid-phase synthesis procedure as an alternative technique in organic…

Community-engaged patient navigation safety net programs are established as an evidence-based approach to address cancer prevention and early detection efforts, but barriers to expand and sustain such programs persist. In addition, few studies describe how these programs impact buy-in among communities and policy change within health care systems…

The pandemic increased the interest in studying medicine and the use of videos in education. This reality made evident the problem with health-related videos in daily usage. Therefore, the rationale of this work is to show with bibliometric data that video design is a trend in scientific research, which evidences the necessity of the adoption of…

This paper introduces readers to the field of narrative medicine to build a bridge to the field of English teacher education. After seeking an urgent change in the ways medical students were being taught to engage with their own practice and patients, a Columbia University physician and scholar developed a practice that trained future doctors in…

The principal objective of this study was to profile qualitative research in social sciences through a comprehensive examination of 10,637 documents. An analysis on how scholars from central/peripheral countries included in the qualitative research citations/publications is presented. Central/peripheral distinction is used to determine the trends…

Research has shown that the use of practical examples in undergraduate education promotes the retention of historically underrepresented students in STEM majors and lowers achievement gaps within courses. Since many students of color and women aspire toward careers in healthcare and the pharmaceutical industry, efforts to incorporate medicinal…

The research outlined in this article offers a systematic training methodology for students and licensed Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioners to learn the clinical art and science of pulsology through dance. One of the greatest hurdles in learning pulse palpation is a TCM practitioner's inability to feel the pulse with a degree of…

Automatic analysis of the myriad discussion messages in large online courses can support effective educator-learner interaction at scale. Robust classifiers are an essential foundation for the use of automatic analysis of cognitive presence in practice. This study reports on the application of a revised machine learning approach, which was…

School-based speech-language pathologists (SLPs) have been plunged into telepractice service delivery with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. However, this temporary shift to provide online instruction is not the same as fully implementing a telepractice service delivery model that is comparable with in-person service delivery. The purpose of this…

Assessing volume status in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) remains a difficult task. Newer technology, such as CardioMEMS, allows providers to download pulmonary artery pressure measurements from an implanted sensor. In a large rural emergency department (ED), lack of staff education on CardioMEMS made the device useless when a…

Background: General practitioners (GP) report multiple challenges when treating individuals with intellectual disabilities which may influence referral rates. The study aimed to establish factors that influence GP's decision-making when referring a child with intellectual disabilities to the emergency department. Method: Discrete choice…

Despite originating in the tech industry, hackathons have now been adopted in a variety of domains. However, little is known about the status of hackathon literature within educational research. As the number of studies grows, it is essential to develop an understanding of the current state and identify prevalent topics and trends shaping the…

Teaching practical skills is of particular interest in the study of human medicine. With regard to medical statistics this means the use of statistical software, which may be effectively taught by a flipped classroom approach. As a pilot study, we designed and implemented an elective course on medical statistics that focused on hands-on data…
