Effects of Situation-Based Flipped Learning and Gamification as Combined Methodologies in Psychiatric Nursing Education: A Quasi-Experimental Study.

In psychiatric nursing courses, students learn about patients with mental illnesses or types of distress that may not be common in their daily lives. Consequently, some students experience difficulties interacting with patients. Therefore, new learning models that depart from the traditional one-way learning methods, engage students in clinical settings, and increase their motivation are needed.

Development of a Web-Based Korean Triage and Acuity Scale Learning Program for Emergency Department Nurses.

The Korean Triage and Acuity Scale is a tool developed to classify severity and urgency of emergency department patients, focusing on their symptoms. Considering the importance of the Korean Triage and Acuity Scale, learning for emergency department nurses who perform the Korean Triage and Acuity Scale must be structured to ensure that the knowledge they gain can be applied to various clinical situations of the emergency department. Moreover, Web-based learning is considered appropriate in this situation.

A leucine zipper pair-based lipid vesicle for image-guided therapy in breast cancer.

We developed a controllable image-guided therapy system as a powerful tool for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. The system uses a two-step pretargeting approach that takes advantage of the highly selective binding interactions between leucine zipper pairs. It consists of the utilization of a tumor pretargeting probe for diagnosis and, if necessary, a probe for therapy.

Effects of team-based learning on problem-solving, knowledge and clinical performance of Korean nursing students.

Background: Team-based learning (TBL) has been used as a learner-centered teaching strategy in efforts to improve students' problem-solving, knowledge and practice performance. Although TBL has been used in nursing education in Korea for a decade, few studies have studied its effects on Korean nursing students' learning outcomes.

Objectives: To examine the effects of TBL on problem-solving ability and learning outcomes (knowledge and clinical performance) of Korean nursing students.

Spartin regulates synaptic growth and neuronal survival by inhibiting BMP-mediated microtubule stabilization.

Troyer syndrome is a hereditary spastic paraplegia caused by human spartin (SPG20) gene mutations. We have generated a Drosophila disease model showing that Spartin functions presynaptically with endocytic adaptor Eps15 to regulate synaptic growth and function. Spartin inhibits bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling by promoting endocytic degradation of BMP receptor wishful thinking (Wit).
