Objectives: To explore feedback processes of Western-based health professional student training curricula conducted in an Arab clinical teaching setting.

Methods: This qualitative study employed document analysis of in-training evaluation reports (ITERs) used by Canadian nursing, pharmacy, respiratory therapy, paramedic, dental hygiene, and pharmacy technician programs established in Qatar. Six experiential training program coordinators were interviewed between February and May 2016 to explore how national cultural differences are perceived to affect feedback processes between students and clinical supervisors.

Article Synopsis
  • p90 ribosomal S6 kinase (p90RSK) is a family of kinases involved in cancer cell proliferation, particularly in lung adenocarcinomas.
  • Inhibition of p90RSK using the drug BI-D1870 significantly reduced cell proliferation and migration in A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells, as well as decreased the expression of anti-apoptotic proteins like Bcl2.
  • The study suggests that targeting p90RSK could be a promising therapeutic strategy for treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

A global survey of cancer has shown that lung cancer is the most common cause of the new cancer cases and cancer deaths in men worldwide. The mortality from lung cancer is more than the combined mortality from breast, prostate and colorectal cancers. The two major histological types of lung cancer are non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounting for about 85 % of cases and small cell lung cancer accounting for 15 % of cases.
