Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated a modified asynchronous online medical terminology course aimed at enhancing authentic language use, interaction, feedback, and learning strategies, comparing it to a standard course implemented at the same time.
- - With 494 participants, results showed that students in the modified course had higher course grades and satisfaction, although both groups exhibited similar self-efficacy and exam performance.
- - The findings suggest that the modifications were effective for improving satisfaction and grades in a large online course, but further research is needed to better prepare students for final assessments.
Background: Insights into (poly)phenol exposure represent a modifiable factor that may modulate inflammation in chronic pancreatitis (CP), yet intake is poorly characterized and methods for assessment are underdeveloped.
Aims: The aims are to develop and test a method for estimating (poly)phenol intake from a 90-day food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) using the Phenol-Explorer database and determine associations with dietary patterns in CP patients versus controls via analysis of previously collected cross-sectional data.
Methods: Fifty-two CP patients and 48 controls were recruited from an ambulatory clinic at a large, academic institution.
Background: Nutrition support professionals are tasked with estimating energy requirements for critically ill patients. Estimating energy leads to suboptimal feeding practices and adverse outcomes. Indirect calorimetry (IC) is the gold standard for determining energy expenditure.

Targeted learners included undergraduate, graduate, and professional students across five health science colleges. A team of educators and practitioners representing those five health science colleges was formed in 2016, to design, develop, and refine educational modules covering the essentials of clinical informatics.

Methods: We performed a retrospective, cross-sectional study of 401 subjects with available malnutrition screening tool scores who received care at a single outpatient pancreas clinic during a 6-month study period. Univariate analyses were performed to compare demographic, anthropometric, symptoms/diseases, and risk for malnutrition characteristics across 3 strata of diseases: acute pancreatitis (n = 141), chronic pancreatitis (n = 193), and other pancreatic diagnoses (n = 67).
