[On some features of embryonic development and metamorphosis of Aurelia aurita (Cindaria, Scyphozoa)].

Aurelia aurita is a cosmopolite species of scyphomedusae. Its major structural patterns and life cycle are well investigated. This work provides a detailed study on development and structure of the planula in A.

[Early invasive and non-invasive approach to treatment of acute non-ST-segment elevation coronary syndrome].

Aim: The aim of the study is to assess the efficiency of early invasive treatment versus conservative treatment for patients with non-ST acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and to study immediate results of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in terms of the risk of adverse events.

Material And Methods: The investigation includes 112 patients with non-ST ACS having risk of adverse outcome determined by the GRACE system. More than half of the patients (77/68.

[Entry into general practice training: no relation with focus on primary care in the undergraduate curriculum].

Objective: To investigate differences between medical faculties in the proportion of graduates entering general practice (GP) training, and to analyse whether this is related to the degree of orientation towards general practice of Dutch medical undergraduate curricula.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Methods: Several databases were used to investigate which percentage of medical graduates per faculty entered the GP training programme between 1989 and 2001.

Shortage in general practice despite the feminisation of the medical workforce: a seeming paradox? A cohort study.

Background: Female medical students often prefer primary care specialties, while male students appear to be attracted to hospital specialties. Notwithstanding the steady feminisation of medicine, in many countries there are still difficulties in recruiting trainees for general practice. This seeming paradox raises the question on what specific role gender plays in a specialty choice.

The impact of clerkships on students' specialty preferences: what do undergraduates learn for their profession?

Objective: Clinical experiences and gender have been shown to influence medical students' specialty choices. It remains unclear, however, which aspects of experiences make students favour some specialties and reject others. This study aimed to clarify the effects of clerkships on specialty choice and to identify explanatory factors.
