Baccalaureate nursing students' experience of dyadic learning in an acute care setting.

This article describes a unique learning project designed to address the praxis gap between baccalaureate nursing students' clinical learning and theoretic principles of collaborative practice on an acute medical-surgical unit in Canada. The study was framed by the active engagement model to provide second-year nursing students a nontraditional approach to develop their nursing practice. Clinical faculty partnered with medical-surgical nursing staff and eight baccalaureate nursing students to explore the experience of collaborative learning and stakeholders' anticipated learning outcomes while working in dyads.

Human brain wave activity during exposure to radiofrequency field emissions from mobile phones.

The aim of this study was to determine whether there is an effect of mobile phone electromagnetic field emissions on the human electroencephalograph (EEG). EEG recordings from ten awake subjects were taken during exposure to radiofrequency (RF) emissions from a mobile phone positioned behind the head. Two experimental trials were conducted.

Studies in osteoarthritis of the hip. II. Osteoarthritis of the hip and leg-length disparity.

An x-ray method is described for the determination of leg-length inequality in the standing subject, Its precision is compared to that of other methods in current use. The geometrical considerations which are inherent in any radiographic method of leg-length determination are summarized. Sixty-seven patients with OA hip were studied; 62 were considered to be idiopathic and 36 of these idiopathic cases were superolateral in type.
