A Student-Driven Approach to Course Revitalization.

A first-year foundational science course grew beyond its scope. Revitalization of the course was driven by second and third-year medical students, who created new learning objectives and edited cases that were well-received by course facilitators and students. The students' role in the course revitalization is a novel approach.

Complications and Outcomes After Surgical Intervention in Clavicular Nonunion: A Systematic Review.

Background: Surgical repair of clavicle fractures is being employed more frequently, although most fractures are still treated conservatively. Both can result in nonunion. Current treatments for clavicle nonunion include open reduction with internal fixation (ORIF) plating without bone graft, ORIF plating with bone graft, and intramedullary pin fixation.

Effects of acute exercise on directed forgetting.

The directed forgetting paradigm involves individuals encoding a list of words(List 1; L1) and then, prior to encoding a second list of words (List 2; L2), they are given specific instructions to either remember all the words from L1 or to try and forget these words. In this paradigm, after encoding L1, those who are given the directed forgetting (DF) instructions tend tore call more words for L2 when compared to those who were given the remember (R) instructions(DF benefit effect). Similarly, those given the DF instructions tend to recall fewer words from L1(DF cost effect).

The effects of aerobic exercise on corpus callosum integrity: systematic review.

: To evaluate the influence of exercise on the body and genu of the corpus callosum (CC), which is a critical brain structure involved in facilitating interhemispheric communication. : Studies were identified using electronic databases, including PubMed, PsychInfo, Sports Discus and Google Scholar. The search terms, including their combinations, included exercise, physical activity, cardiorespiratory fitness, interhemispheric, and corpus callosum.
