Is This Science? Students' Experiences of Failure Make a Research-Based Course Feel Authentic.

Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) and inquiry-based curricula both expose students to the scientific process. CUREs additionally engage students in novel and scientifically relevant research, with the intention of providing an "authentic" research experience. However, we have little understanding of which course design elements impact students' beliefs that they are experiencing "authentic" research.

Δ Genotype Is Associated with Mild Form of Nephropathia Epidemica.

Nephropathia Epidemica (NE), a mild form of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and linked to hantavirus infection, is endemic in the Republic of Tatarstan. Several genetic markers of HFRS severity have been identified previously, including human leukocyte antigen (HLA) complexes and nucleotide polymorphism in the tumor necrosis factor alpha () gene. Still, our understanding of the genetic markers of NE severity remains incomplete.

Virulence Factors and Antibiotic Resistance of Strains Isolated From Neonates With Sepsis.

is one of the most important infectious agents in neonates. There are "classic" and hypervirulent strains of . The "classic" non-virulent strain of , producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs), is associated with nosocomial infections.

Urinary Clusterin Is Upregulated in Nephropathia Epidemica.

Kidney insufficiency is a hallmark of nephropathia epidemica (NE). Little is known about the mechanisms of the NE kidney pathology, with current knowledge mainly based on findings in postmortem tissue. We have analyzed kidney damage biomarkers in urine collected from early- and late-phase NE using Bio-Plex kidney toxicity panels 1 and 2.

Case of Meningitis in a Neonate Caused by an Extended-Spectrum-Beta-Lactamase-Producing Strain of Hypervirulent .

is one of the most important infectious agents among neonates. This pathogen has a potential to develop an increased antimicrobial resistance and virulence. The classic non-virulent strain of , producing an extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL), is associated with nosocomial infection mainly in preterm neonates.
