Demystifying the Technology Barriers of Nurse Educators.

Background: Technology is pivotal in nursing education, with methods such as the flipped classroom, active learning, and patient simulation becoming integral. Despite this, persistent barriers hinder technology's full integration.

Methods: An online survey collected data from nursing faculty members (n = 1761) in prelicensure nursing programs.

[Recovery of blood traces with scenesafe FAST tape].

For complete and conclusive DNA profiling a sufficient amount of DNA must be available. For that, biological traces are recovered from crime scenes using special trace recovery material. The current method to collect biological traces for DNA analysis is to wipe them off with cotton swabs.

[Cholestatic jaundice and pruritus].

The 38 year old male patient was admitted to our clinic with jaundice and invalidating pruritus of unknown origin. The primary evaluation made by the practitioner of the patient and the initial examinations performed in the clinic revealed no diagnosis. In particular, an infectious liver disease could be excluded.

[Is open synovectomy of the metacarpophalangeal joint in chronic polyarthritis worthwhile?].

Unlabelled: PURPOSE/METHODS/PATIENTS: This work retrospectively analysed 252 synovectomies performed on 153 patients from 1958 to 1995 at the Balgrist University Orthopaedics Clinic, and evaluated the short-term and long-term benefits of open synovectomy of the metacarpo-phalangeal joint in rheumatoid arthritis.

Results: Rheumatoid arthritis (n = 182) was by far the most common of the 21 different diagnoses involved, and the metacarpo-phalangeal joint (n = 101) was by far the most frequently operated of the 7 different joint types in question. In the short tenn (n = 97), after a mean of 5.

Efficient identification of point mutations by automated DNA sequencing of artificial heterozygote samples.

DNA sequencing templates of individual point mutants of the lacI target gene were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). By mixing the PCR fragments from two individual mutants in a defined ratio, samples of artificial heterozygous composition were prepared. These samples were then submitted to automated DNA sequencing.
