The Impact of Field Courses on Undergraduate Knowledge, Affect, Behavior, and Skills: A Scoping Review.

Field courses provide transformative learning experiences that support success and improve persistence for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics majors. But field courses have not increased proportionally with the number of students in the natural sciences. We conducted a scoping review to investigate the factors influencing undergraduate participation in and the outcomes from field courses in the United States.

[Intelligence quotient loss in Mexican pottery artisan's children].

Background: In Mexico, artisans frequently use lead oxide or greta in order to produce utensils, which are destined to preparation and storage of food and drinks. Additionally, the risk of lead poisoning of artisans and their families is greater than in general population, and within these families, children are the most susceptible to lead poisoning. The aim of this study was to estimate IQ loss in Mexican children from potter families exposed to lead.

Autoimmune hepatitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis in children and adolescents.

Unlabelled: Clinical presentation and histopathology of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) overlap syndrome (OS) are similar, but their management is different. We conducted a pediatric retrospective cross-sectional study of 34 patients with AIH and PSC. AIH had female predominance (74%) and was lower in PSC (45%).
