Introduction: The growing demand for health professional education intensifies the need for learning innovations such as simulation: facilitating predictable, realistic, experiential learning that prepares students for practice. To achieve this, facilitators must provide pedagogically sound, psychologically safe simulation. High-quality simulation enhances students' self-efficacy, critical thinking, and clinical reasoning.

Background: There is strong evidence supporting using the Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric (LCJR) for scoring learners' clinical judgment during in-person simulation performance and clinical experience reflections. However, a gap exists for using LCJR to evaluate clinical judgment after observing asynchronous simulation.

Objective: We aimed to determine the reliability, feasibility, and usability of LCJR for scoring learners' written reflections after observing expert-modeled asynchronous simulation videos.

Background: Simulation based learning experiences help nurses gain skills necessary for independent practice. However, increased cognitive load placed on learners in simulation may affect learning outcomes.

Objectives: The purpose of this integrative review was to synthesize what is known about nurses' cognitive load in simulation and summarize measurement approaches.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to map the literature investigating learning outcomes that have been measured in the observer role in simulation. A scoping review will be completed to investigate the research question: What learning outcomes have been reported in nurses or nursing students participating in simulation while assigned to the observer role?

Introduction: Simulation-based learning experiences (SBLE) are being utilized more frequently to support learning with increasing numbers of nurses. Despite SBLE becoming more popular, resources and manikin availability are not meeting the demand placed on simulation programs in nursing schools and health care facilities.

Seafood samples from the fishing ground closure areas of Mississippi Gulf Coast that were affected by the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Disaster were collected and analyzed for twenty-five 2- to 6-ring PAHs, about one month after the first day of incident. A total of 278 seafood samples consisting of 86 fishes, 65 shrimps, 59 crabs, and 68 oysters were collected and analyzed weekly from May 27, 2010 until October 2010 and monthly thereafter until August 2011. Statistically higher levels of total PAHs were detected in all four types of seafood samples during early part of the sampling period compared to the later months.

Background: Bevacizumab, a monoclonal antibody against vascular endothelial growth factor, has shown promising preclinical and clinical activity against metastatic colorectal cancer, particularly in combination with chemotherapy.

Methods: Of 813 patients with previously untreated metastatic colorectal cancer, we randomly assigned 402 to receive irinotecan, bolus fluorouracil, and leucovorin (IFL) plus bevacizumab (5 mg per kilogram of body weight every two weeks) and 411 to receive IFL plus placebo. The primary end point was overall survival.
