Medical students' perception of paid E-learning.

Background: In addition to the medical school curriculum, medical students often take the initiative to incorporate external paid digital educational resources, especially during the pandemic. In this study, we organized an exemplary questionnaire method to enable evidence-based decisions before providing paid e-learning resources to medical students.

Methods: An online form was distributed to all registered medical students at a Turkish medical school, and the compiled responses were subjected to statistical analysis.

The Metabolic Profile of Plasma During Epileptogenesis in a Rat Model of Lithium-Pilocarpine-Induced Temporal Lobe Epilepsy.

Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) arises mostly because of an initial injury. Certain stimuli can make a normal brain prone to repeated, spontaneous seizures via a process called epileptogenesis. This study examined the plasma metabolomics profile in rats with the induced TLE to identify feasible biomarkers that can distinguish progression of epileptogenesis in three different time points and reveal the underlying mechanisms of epileptogenesis.
