Background: Reanalysis of exome/genome data improves diagnostic yield. However, the value of reanalysis of clinical array comparative genomic hybridisation (aCGH) data has never been investigated. Case-by-case reanalysis can be challenging in busy diagnostic laboratories.

A single-episode online case study increases cognitive load in contrast to an unfolding online case study, which decreases cognitive load, improves academic performance, and enhances clinical reasoning. However, online utilization of unfolding case studies is limited. A one-group pretest posttest experimental design was employed with 45 nursing students in a pathophysiology course.

The COVID-19 pandemic radically affected the whole education system including nursing education. Nursing is a practice-based profession; therefore, it is necessary to transform acquired knowledge into practice. However, in the current situation of the pandemic, the nursing students were unable to learn and practise nursing skills in the skills lab on manikins or simulation.

Gaseous oxygen plays a vital role in driving the metabolism of living organisms and has multiple agricultural, medical, and technological applications. Different methods have been discovered to produce oxygen, including plants, oxygen concentrators and catalytic reactions. However, many such approaches are relatively expensive, involve challenges, complexities in post-production processes or generate undesired reaction products.

The objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) is central to assessing clinical competence in undergraduate and postgraduate exams for medical and allied healthcare professions. A mock OSCE on the other hand is a simulation of the OSCE and a unique learning experience for the examinee. They benefit in a variety of ways; from enhancing their time management skills to receiving feedback that can improve their clinical skills.

Nano/-micromotors self-assembling into static and dynamic clusters are of considerable promise to study smart, interactive, responsive, and adaptive nano/-micromaterials that can mimic spatio-temporal patterns, swarming, and collective behaviors widely observed in nature. Previously, the dynamic self-assembly of bubble-propelled catalytic micromotors initiated by capillary forces has been reported. This manuscript shows novel self-assembly modes of magnetic/catalytic Ti/FeNi/Pt tubular micromotors.

A controllable generation of oxygen gas during the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by the microreactors made of tubular catalytic nanomembranes has recently attracted considerable attention. Catalytic microtubes play simultaneous roles of the oxygen bubble producing microreactors and oxygen bubble-driven micropumps. An autonomous pumping of peroxide fuel takes place through the microtubes by the recoiling microbubbles.

Rolled-up catalytic Ti/Cr/Pt microtubes, consisting of inorganic nanomembranes integrated on-chip, are used to generate oxygen microbubbles in solutions of hydrogen peroxide. Oxygen bubble parameters (frequency, radius and volumetric flow rate) are optimized at different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and common dish soap. Increasing the aspect ratio of the microtube (e.

TiO is a promising environment friendly, low cost, and high electrochemical performance material. However, impediments like high internal ion resistance and low electrical conductivity restrict its applications as electrode for supercapacitor. In the present work, atomic layer deposition was used to fabricate TiO nanomembranes (NMs) with accurately controlled thicknesses.
