An analysis of evidence-based practice courses in Korean nursing education systems.

Objective: This study aims to examine the current status of evidence-based practice (EBP) courses and EBP-related courses in Korean nursing education systems.

Method: Subject institutions were 159 institutions including 99 universities and 60 colleges with a bachelor's degree program accredited by the Korean Accreditation Board of Nursing Education. Two researchers independently collected data from the subject institutions based on the curricula published on the website of each university or college, and the collected datasets were cross-checked to ensure data accuracy.

Transcortical photothrombotic pyramidotomy model with persistent motor deficits.

Traditional pyramidotomy models have a high mortality rate from breathing difficulties and show early recovery from the induced motor deficits. This study establishes a novel pyramidotomy technique in Sprague Dawley rats that generates persistent motor deficits and has a reduced mortality rate. We used viral neural tracing to identify the course and relative distribution of forelimb and hindlimb motor fibers (n = 9).
