The Influence of an Evidence-Based Practice Course on Saudi Nursing Students' Beliefs About and Implementation of Evidence-Based Practice: A Cross-Sectional Comparative Study.

Background Previous research on evidence-based practice (EBP) beliefs and implementation among nurses in daily clinical practice has revealed a strong belief in EBP, yet its implementation remains inadequate. To prepare prospective nurses to meet this requirement, academic efforts have been made to incorporate EBP into the undergraduate nursing curriculum. Objective This study aims to examine the influence of a course focused on EBP on Saudi nursing students' beliefs about and implementation of EBP at one university using a cross-sectional comparative design.

Applying Deep Transfer Learning to Assess the Impact of Imaging Modalities on Colon Cancer Detection.

The use of medical images for colon cancer detection is considered an important problem. As the performance of data-driven methods relies heavily on the images generated by a medical method, there is a need to inform research organizations about the effective imaging modalities, when coupled with deep learning (DL), for detecting colon cancer. Unlike previous studies, this study aims to comprehensively report the performance behavior for detecting colon cancer using various imaging modalities coupled with different DL models in the transfer learning (TL) setting to report the best overall imaging modality and DL model for detecting colon cancer.
