Implementation of an algorithm for predicting exacerbations in telemonitoring: A multimethod study of patients' and clinicians' experiences.

Background: Prediction algorithms may improve the ability of telehealth solutions to assess the risk of future exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Learning from patients' and clinicians' evaluations and experiences about the use of such algorithms is essential to evaluate its potential and examine factors that could potentially influence the implementation and sustained use.

Objective: To investigate the patients' and clinicians' perceptions and satisfaction with an algorithm for predicting exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Examining the influence of list composition on the mnemonic benefit of errorful generation.

Despite literature showing that errorful generation with corrective feedback enhances retention better than mere studying, it is unclear if this benefit depends on the composition of the learning list (pure error generation/read versus mixed). Here, we investigated whether the mnemonic advantage and metamnemonic evaluation of errorful generation generalise beyond mixed-list designs. Experiment 1 used a free-recall test, while Experiments 2 and 3 used a cued-recall test, with Experiment 3 also including a judgment of learning (JOL) assessment.

Factors Influencing the Use of Evidence-based Instructional Practices by Community College Biology Instructors.

Evidence-based instructional practices (EBIPs) have been shown to benefit students in undergraduate biology, but little is known about the degree to which community college (CC) biology instructors use EBIPs or the barriers they encounter. We surveyed CC biology instructors to characterize how they use EBIPs, their capacity to use EBIPs, and perceived barriers to their use, and to explore which factors are associated with EBIP use. CC biology instructors report using EBIPs to a similar degree as other populations of undergraduate biology faculty; they generally believe EBIPs to be effective and are motivated to use EBIPs.

This review evaluates the evidence for the use of over-the-scope clips (OTSC), topical haemostatic agents (THA), and prophylactic embolisation (PE) in patients with peptic ulcer bleeding (PUB). The use of OTSC and THA may have the potential to increase the rate of endoscopic haemostasis in PUB not responding to conventional endoscopic treatment. In patients at high risk of recurrent bleeding, the performance of PE after achieving endoscopic haemostasis can reduce the risk of rebleeding and the need for surgery.
