Nontraditional post-baccalaureate students: How to better provide support for perceived mental health needs.

Objective: Mental health is noted as a central indicator of academic success. This study explored the perceived mental health needs of nontraditional post-baccalaureate students and what may increase their abilities to meet these needs.

Participants: Participants (n = 79) were students at a mid-sized Midwestern university enrolled in identified nontraditional programs targeting students who previously obtained a bachelor's degree and nontraditional graduate students.

Validation of a questionnaire exploring patient attitudes towards bedside teaching.

Background: Bedside teaching (BST) facilitates medical education and has reduced in practice, often due to patient-related concerns. This study aimed to validate a questionnaire exploring patients attitudes towards BST.

Methods: International guidelines for questionnaire development were followed.

Chemogenetic inactivation of the nucleus reuniens impairs object placement memory in female mice.

Episodic memory is a complex process requiring input from several regions of the brain. Emerging evidence suggests that coordinated activity between the dorsal hippocampus (DH) and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is required for episodic memory consolidation. However, the mechanisms through which the DH and mPFC interact to promote memory consolidation remain poorly understood.

Patient perspectives of bedside teaching in an obstetrics, Gynaecology and neonatology hospital.

Background: Osler taught doctors to "have no teaching without a patient for a text, and the best teaching is that taught by the patient himself". Bedside teaching (BST) facilitates clinical practice of skills, teaches empathy, instils confidence and builds on patient-doctor relationships. However, its use has declined dramatically due to concerns regarding privacy and autonomy.

Impact of navigators on completion of steps in the kidney transplant process: a randomized, controlled trial.

Background And Objectives: Many patients with ESRD, particularly minorities and women, face barriers in completing the steps required to obtain a transplant. These eight sequential steps are as follows: medical suitability, interest in transplant, referral to a transplant center, first visit to center, transplant workup, successful candidate, waiting list or identify living donor, and receive transplant. This study sought to determine the effect of navigators on completion of steps.
